Premier Boxing Champions
Former longtime heavyweight world champion Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder laid down the gauntlet in a video posted to his Instagram this week, as the power-puncher displayed the measures he is taking in training camp to regain his title on Saturday, July 24 in a trilogy showdown against Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury live on pay-per-view from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
“You say you’re a semi-truck, but I’m a freight train!” exclaimed Wilder in the video, responding to Fury’s boast during their Los Angeles press conference.
Win, lose, or draw Im expecting a much better performance from Wilder. He went through a bunch of litigation and negativity to get this rematch. Team Fury spent millions of dollars to avoid the rematch he agreed upon.
Wilder resurrected Tyson’s career, and prob saved his life, granting him 2 shots at the heavyweight crown. And team Fury wants to play “keep away” with the titles and use media to convince the public nobody wanted Wilder-Fury 3. Just bad character all around from Team Fury. Big disappointment!!!
BS comment. No one wants to see Fury v Wilder and Fury already proved he is the better man twice.
I was going to comment…but NJ BOXING breaks down exactly what is going on leading up to Wilder-Fury 3 WELL DONE!!!
Keep away had nothing to do with it. All these guys care about is money. Why would Fury fight Wilder a 3rd time for 20 million when he could go straight to the unification for all the belts and 50 million? Sure Wilder is a tough fight but Fury beat Wilder twice already. Personally I don’t care about a 3rd fight and the only people who do are the Wilder camp. I am hoping Fury beats his ass again and Wilder retires. Maybe he can go and try to kill someone in MMA or something but boxing doesn’t need him.
Hey, I don’t mind watching a third fight. It’s entertainment!
One thing I must point out is…Every fighter has to build their own confidence train to ride on in order to prepare for a fight. Yep, nothing has changed in decades; trash talk, vows to do this or that, threats, verbal analogies, verbal metaphors, etc. Personally, it’s a cheap way to sell a fight as well. Some fighters are very humble and display respect no matter who they face. Other fighters are loud-mouths and are rather annoying running their chops day and night about their upcoming fights. Yup, Wilder and Fury are both guilty of loud-mouthing. Either way, you slice it, it’s all entertainment! Both men are millionaires, loud-mouths, professional athletes, and most of all, entertainment for all of us to grumble about! Have a great day!
Good comment Scooby. Yes, it boils down to entertainment between two skilled professional athletes for us to enjoy watching.
Bottom line: It is entertainment, nothing more, nothing less. I look forward to a third fight.
Fury may likely win, but Wilder has a very reasonable puncher’s chance, which makes me want to order the fight while eating pizza and drinking beer.
Pizza is always great when watching a good fight. More ideas on great food; nachos, wings, sweet pastries, jalapeno poppers, and mozzarella cheese sticks.
Scooby-Doo made me a millionaires I bet the opposite for years
Look at it this way…You got a 50/50 chance either way unless it’s a draw.
C’mon “NJ Boxing”, Wilder did NOT resurrect Fury’s career AND Wilder did NOT grant him 2 shots at the title!
Wilder and Al Haymon thought mentally ill, cocaine addicted, and out of shape Fury was EASY MONEY on their way to claim a “big win” over a “name opponent” and at that time “lineal champion” so Haymon/Wilder could command a bigger payday percentage against Anthony Joshua in a battle of at that time “unbeaten HW Champions” to unify and crown an undisputed HW Champion.
FURY worked that oversight by Haymon/Wilder and maximized his opportunity by thoroughly outboxing and winning that 1st fight against Wilder (even with those two knockdowns by Wilder , Fury won on points comfortably!)
Now all credit to Wilder on having what it takes to come back in a fight he was clearly losing and pulling out that knockdown that could have KOd Fury and given Wilder an incredible come from way behind win… but Fury’s coming off the canvas like “the undertaker” was remarkable and got to give credit to Fury for getting up and finishing that fight for his deserved win (but that bull$it draws sealed a rematch for Wilder.). Now I still think that Fury should have got the win in that first fight AND believe Wilder made it interesting late to warrant and deserve the 2nd fight.
BUT DANG THAT 2nd FIGHT WAS WORSE FOR WILDER!
That 2nd fight should have been where Wilder went out to prove he was the better man and worked Fury! BUT IT WAS THE RESERSE, it was FURY WHO CHANGED UP HIS GAME PLAN AND CAME AGGRESSIVE AT WILDER and DOMINATED WILDER!
Wilder does not deserve a 3rd fight with Wilder before Fury gets crack at AJ !
Wilder blew his earlier shot at AJ and his 2nd shot at Fury!
NJ Boxing
You’ve got it the wrong way around, Fury made Wilder and gave him his biggest payday. Until then, Wilder was on earning peanuts because he was fighting Tomato Cans.
Wilder was gifted a draw and the public demanded a rematch where he got beat down and made all the excuses.
He will get retired this time around and I bet you and all the Wilder fans are getting your notebooks ready for his new excuses.
Absolute biggest disgrace to heavyweight boxing.
If Fury didn’t get the ultimate long count in first fight we are not even talking about this now Expect Fury to go in for a pay day and fold up once he feels Wilders power again. Remember how he was flopping around the ring against Steve Cunningham. Being a white heavyweight has really helped Fury otherwise he is just a midpack contender at best but probably more of a journeyman
That being said .that makes wilder a loud mouth bum . sorry nut huggers
Long count my foot. You still think Douglas beat Tyson? smh
Hey, Tyson and also got a long count if go back and watch the fight. The difference is Douglas was able to recover and Tyson wasn’t.
Stick your racist comments where they belong.
And you choose to draw the race card. It must be hard to see the reality with those glasses on and to interpret everything based on that. Completely unnecessary. Fury is both entertainment and talent beyond the ordinary. To dismiss him in the derogatory way you did is not worthy. Let us enjoy values based on what people achieve and say instead of first looking at race and then coming with your judgement.
Fury is nothing but a tomato can who’s only attribute is his size and maybe the ability to get up after being knocked down. At best a lower level contender back in the day. If race has nothing to do with this why is there a phrase Great White Hope
Johnny Ace, so your saying that Wilder was dominated and KTFO and embarrassed by…
“… a tomato can who’s only attribute is his size and maybe the ability to get up after being knocked down. At best a lower level contender back in the day… Great White Hope” -(words by Johnny Ace)
So if you are saying this, then it doesn’t say much for Wilder …right?
CHECKMATE!
Wilder won the two rounds he scored the knockdowns and Fury probably the rest.
Fury won the fight but did not get the win. A white boxer given priority? It would be difficult to state that.
An American boxer given priority over a European? More likely! Not the first time.
And what is Wilder then. He would’ve got mauled and outboxed by Tua, Ibeanuchi, Lewis, Rahman, Byrd and anyone on the top 10
Agree and so would Fury
Long count, come on man.
Johnny, maybe you didnt watch the whole fight where Wilder was getting beaten up.
He was very lucky to get a draw and the 2nd fight was a complete breakdown.
Fury will retire the Bumsquad this time.
The count is meant to begin when the fighter scoring the knockdown returns to a neutral corner. Wilder delayed doing so as he thought it was over. Therefore no long count.
So name me all of the incredible black heavyweights who have beaten him?
I just pray that Wilder doesn’t end up like Prichard Colon or Gerald McClennan, or worse. Tyson Fury is clearly dangerous. Even tho Wilder can end the fight with one punch, he can also absorb severe punishment and wont know when to quit.
Agree with James…..same result of Fury is prepared..Fury needs to stay focused..and train ..If so….this time Wilder will not have an excuse…..maybe a great payday but no excuses for a third loss….
If fury is a journeyman that must make wilder a bum who’s all talk ? Right
Can only think of 2 white heavyweight past contenders Fury could have beaten Lou Savages and Joe Messi. Cooney and Morrison would have put Fury in the hospital or worse
You need help with your racial obsession.
Pretty sure that James J Braddock guy would’ve pop pop banged Fury to pieces too
Are you a millennial???
“Lou Savages” = Lou Savarese who also fought Mike Tyson.
I just watch some videos on YouTube of Lou Savarese recently. Fun fighter to watch. He now has a few bike jams down in Houston. He faced five heavyweight champion‘s during his career, great guy!
Watch Savarese fight Whitaker what Smogger does after Savages gets knocked down is nuts
Imagine what Cooney and Morrison would have to that overrated bum Wilder then.
Wilder is a beaten man. Couldn’t accept the loss so breland and his costume were to blame not deontay. Fury will dominate again.
The big question is if Wilder will connect. If not Fury wins.
Wilder knows what to expect and what will be brought. For some reason, I think Wilder has a burden less to carry on his shoulders, his once perfect record. He can relax now. Nothing to loose.
Fury must be fully prepared, more alert and motivated than ever. We will see the usual Wilder, more or less, but I think we will see a Wilder with more determination and will-power. The July-version is a more dangerous Wilder than in the two previous fights.
Fighter coming off a knockout is unpredictable. Prince Naseem wasn’t knocked out and wasn’t the same after Barrera. Wilder could be tentative to exchange. I do not see him winning at all
Actually Prince Naseem Hamed was dominated and schooled by Barrera and lost a unanimous decision. He was humbled so bad he never had that fire anymore. Never got knocked out tho.
He had weight problems too before the fight? And he was not really on track if I remember. But Prince was always fun to watch.
Remember Prince vs Kelley…
EPIC BATTLE!
Hamed didn’t want to fight period. I believe he only fought one more time after Barrera. Can’t really say he wasn’t the same
Fought once and whatever he had Barrera beat out of him
So he hung em up. His last fight was a lackluster ud
Fought once more and won a lackluster ud. Whatever he had Barrera beat out of him.
Deontay is damaged goods
Here are a few things Ill point out
1. It doesn’t matter how many people want to see a third fight. It only matters that Fury and Wilder had an agreement. If you agree to a rematch you have the rematch.
2. Fury wasn’t given a “long count”. The ref gave a close look and allowed the match to continue when he determined Fury could go on. As fans we constantly complain when a championship match is determined by a ref. How many times have we complained when a champion or challenger loses because the ref determined he couldn’t go on?
3. I personally thought Fury was a joke and only good at avoiding shots because he’s tall and leans so far back he becomes out of reach. After Fury showed he could be a forward moving aggressive fighter I’ve changed my mind. I just wish he could have fought this way earlier.
4. Fury / Wilder 3 could be am exciting match because both know they can win.
5. While I thought it was a bullshit move for Fury to try and side step his contractually rematch I do commend him on not trying to argue the ruling.
6. On a side note I think Fury VS AJ was also a bullshit move. AJ’s manager had a chance to make AJ vs Wilder when Wilder said he wanted the same pay as AJ (50/50). They shot that down, but jumped at giving Fury a 50/50 deal.
I wont say either is a clear favorite at this point and I’m looking to the rematch.
That wasn’t a long count so stop the BS. The refer doesn’t have a stop watch in his brain.
What do you mean by stop the BS? I clearly said it WASNT a long count.
Well Vegas has Fury as a clear favorite over Wilder.
I said it was going to be a great fight and I also said the fight could go either way. Not sure what the odds makers have to do with that. Vegas doesnt have a lock on whos going to win, its still a fight that can go either way.
I agree !!
Wilder Need a rematch and fan of boxing vknow that and FUry give this rematch is also good i whish win the best in this fighth
Just totally lost respect for Wilder as a fighter and a man when he blamed everyone for his lost. He will probably taste defeat again.
I truly believe Wilder has a few screws loose. A lot of the things he says get passed off fight hype and hyperbole, but I think it goes beyond that. He sounds legitimately delusional and his blaming of Breland and everybody else are classic signs of a clinical narcissist. Even years back when he beat up that psycho internet bully was pretty insane. The guy was obviously crazy, half Wilders size, and no real boxing experience, yet Wilder proceeded to pummel the crap out of him. No tears were shed for the guy and a lot of people felt he deserved it, but Wilder was a rising contender at the time with a lot to lose. Why would he risk injury or even incarceration on a weirdo like that? Who really knows what that was all about.
I like Wilder and what he’s been able to accomplish. I hate when fighters turn the blame on everything rather than just saying it was a bad night. Even as a fan I was disappointed with the non stop excuses.
Yes, Wilder is sounding more like a liberal “victim”, instead of a warrior in the ring. Too bad for Wilder, I use to really like him. But now he is just showing a lot of immature characteristics.
Brain damaged. Mouth the size of a basking shark.
What a hoax. Fury will batter the sh1t out of him again, easy money. Fury beat him up first time, Wilder got a couple big pops in, that’s all, period. Fury learned from that and never gave him a chance 2nd time round & beat him up again. Wilder never touched him. Fury will toy with him again, break him down, embarrass and retire him. Wilder isn’t the freight train engine, he’s the caboose
Choo Choo!
Even Trevor Berbick and Pinky Thomas would absolutely destroy Fury.
Dream on pal
Oh, I seriously doubt that.
Wilder is millennial boxing fans heroin. Costumes bling a bull%#@#. Wilder is the most protected bum boxing has ever seen aside from Floyd Mayweather. American television executives protect these scumbags so as to line their pockets and keep the $$$ in America. Boxing is a disgrace.
Fury is a complete bum out of shape just a druggie that got lucky not worth a nickel I could go rounds with this guy.
maybe wilder found some skills???
doubtfull..
I’m curious about about how things are going with his new trainer. It looks like they’re having a good time with their moovin’ and groovin’ during mitt sessions. I didn’t know Malik Scott was even a trainer, but I do know Wilder KO’d him in the 1st round a few years back. Wilder seems like the type a guy who needs to surround himself with yes men and tell him he’s great and could do no wrong. I mean, every time Scott tries to correct him and coach him, I could imagine Wilder telling him -“Shut the hell up, I knocked your ass out in the 1st round”….
He’s got his head up his caboose.
f wilder, f fury u all getting played and they getting paid
Wilder is the biggest bum in heavyweight boxing, he was protected his whole career by beating Tomato cans. It took him 42 fights before he stepped up and he got battered twice.
He made every excuse in the book for his loss unlike AJ and Whyte who were humble in their defeats.
He is a disgrace to boxing and a big hype job in America and all talk and no action against a real fighter.
There is a saying, be careful what you wish for, in this case be careful what you have done which applies to this loud mouth clown who just derailed the big superfight which he is going to regret.
Cant wait to see Fury shut this big mouth up, but all of his fanboys, PBC and Blueblood will still get their notebooks for the new excuses.
This fight has all the makings of a huge blockbuster: It’s the rubber match of a grudge match heavyweight title fight. Both fighters are polarizing figures with flamboyant, over the top personalities. It’s an international fight with both sides of the pond being represented, unfortunately, the racial element is a huge point of interest in this fight-much more so in this fight than their last fights. Most importantly, both these men are highly entertaining fighters and there were a lot of dramatics inside the the ring in their previous fights. I will gladly pay to watch this fight! I think the promoters shot themselves in the foot by staging it too soon. Not giving enough time for it to build.
Wilder is a strong jab away from making this interesting imo. However, it’s unlikely he’ll have suddenly developed one this late in his career. I think we’ll see a very similar fight as last time. Fury (despite what some think) has plenty of skill to go along with his massive size. Additionally, he not only was able to get up from Wilder’s power, he did it twice. And whether the count was long or not, he actually took it to him after he got up. Statistically, Wilder has the best KO percentage in Heavyweight history and he couldn’t keep Fury down either time and definitely couldn’t finish him. I had no problem with the Draw, but Fury showed everyone what he thought about Wilder’s power and the Decision in the rematch.
Johnny Ace, it’s ludicrous to think of Fury as just a white hope at this point and suggesting the names you did could beat him shows your ignorance, jealousy or racism.
“….shows your ignorance, jealousy or racism.”
– He may have a combo of all 3 of the above. Sad.
I’m in agreement with much of what you said, except the draw, I believe Tyson Fury should’ve won the first fight also.
Its true white heavuweights get the easy road. Most are hype and not worthy of the easy road. I can only think of two that were legit both with incredible left hooks. Frank Bruno was a fighter the UK should be proud of not the stumble bum Fury
Dempsey, Tunney, BRADDOCK, MARCIANO, Klitschko, Fury,
I don’t care about all of the talk. In 23 days all will be put to rest. Unless Wilder can pull this off then we’ll have Wilder vs Fury 4. HAHAHAHAHA
wilder is a freight train that will be stopping on platform 3 or 4 …….
There are so many pieces to this it’s funny seeing people not saying the right things. First Wilder’s weight. He weighed surprisingly light in the first bout. Most likely over trained with bad nutrition. 2nd fight came in way heavy. He looked fat for him. Also poor nutrition. With his new trainer he might have proper training with a correct diet. That can do so much. And for the doubters on this, Fury totally fixed his training weight issues which led to his best performance. So those factors are real.
Next is Wilder had no tape, no prep for that type of Fury. I’ve never seen a fighter fight so outside his norm since Cotto switched his game for Mayweather. With very simple adjustments like a check left hook or learn to fire a right off a back pivot Wilder can change more than Fury can. My best guess is Fury 117-110 but Wilder can ko this guy anytime. I’m expecting a much better Wilder.
Absolutely no way Wilder can change more than Fury. His boxing IQ is very low and he’s fought LOTS of pro fights yet he still looks like an amateur. Hes depended on his power and seems to lack the ability to learn actual technique and skills.
Fury has no movement or rhythm but knows how to illegally lean back against the ropes to avoid punches. Also knows how to use illegal tactics to hold lean etc. Only reason he can get away with this is the fact he promotes better cause of his skin. If not for that he would have never made it because he would have had to come up the real way. Whoever said long count was spot on again the refs and promoters made this hype
What the fuck is wrong with you types? He wins because he is better.
@Shaun-Critical race theory enters boxing!
Fury, ( Yaaaaaaaaaaaawwn….. “Just show up July 24th, loudmouth.”
The big reveal about Wilder is that:
1. He doesn’t have the boxing ability to outbox Tyson Fury.
2. He is not a pressure fighter. To beat a guy as tall, bulky, and rangy as Fury, who is not supremely conditioned, and has a suspect chin, you have to apply constant pressure. Wilder is not that guy.
3. Wilder can’t take a punch.
4. Wilder’s power is overrated. He’s an arm-puncher. Those skinny legs are a dead giveaway that he can’t generate the level of power it takes to beat a man as big, heavy, and bulky as Fury. The arm-punching power only works effectively against the elderly, bloggers, window washers, car detailers, and meter readers.
5. Wilder hasn’t fought since the Fury loss. He’s only in it for the money, not for the love of competing in a sport he loves.
6. Wilder’s inactivity suggests that HYPE is what he’s selling. Instead of the hype being generated from his performance in the ring, of late, he chooses it to come from activates outside of the ring. Menacing behavior, rampaging, screaming, maniacal, rage expressions. This is all supposed to suggest that even though he hasn’t fought since getting annihilated by Fury, he still possesses bone-crushing power.
All in all, I prefer fighters who do their talking in the ring. Fury hasn’t fought since his win over Wilder. Pathetic. He’s just as unimpressive as a fighter as Wilder is, but Wilder simply does not have the skills to expose him. I have no interest in this third fight and don’t see a different outcome. Wilder loses again. He won’t feel too badly about it though, since money is all he wants anyway at this late stage of his boxing career.
Wilder sucks. He’s not a good boxer. He racked up knockouts against weaker competition and the first test he gets schooled by Fury. He has 1 punch and no real skills as a boxer and is flat footed, off balanced most of the time. He has no real jab nor does he have anything in his mechanics. He’s just a 1 punch home run hitter that has never beaten anyone great.
Delusional , predictable and beatable,, goodbye Wilder , you are the weakest link ! Fury in 7 !!
To win this fight I’d tell Wilder to try to land as many right hands from the opening bell as possible… Try to keep Fury from working his game plan.. Wilder has mega power in his right hand, throw it often … Personally, I believe that Wilder has no chance since he knows that he was beaten badly by Fury in their last fight… Psychologically he’ll never be int his fight
Lost all respect for Wilder, too many excuses after that second fight. Wilder tried blaming the ref at one point, when he got dropped (pointing his glove at the ref). I hoped that Mark Breland wouldn’t throw in the towel so Wilder could get the beaten he deserved without making any excuses, had the ref stopped the fight, he would’ve blamed the referee. Wilder showed up to the press conference like an immature, childish, butt-hurt, still angry, little chump! Boxing is a business (a job), and you show up to the press conference, speak your peace as part of that business (job). Fury needs to dismantle this clown, move on to Anthony Joshua and retire to the good life.
Wilder really should just stop running his mouth before he embarrasses himself. If he fights a good fight and loses I will have some respect, if he runs his mouth it doesn’t matter what kind of fight he fights and loses because I will still have zero respect for him. It’s like the schoolyard bully you finally get his ass kicked and nobody is afraid of him anymore because I was he did was run his mouth make a moron
Short bus.
A toy LEGO freight train at that, he’s going to get totally dominated and destroyed again, more than likely not, far sooner than the last time. Wilder fighting Fury is like my local HS football team playing Tom Brady and the Buccaneers. Wilder’s only chance is a punchers chance because that is all he has.
Wilder was rob ably lost the 1st fight, but the was close
Got 4 points for the knockdowns and might have won another round or two. Who cares though
2nd fight, wilder did not look right from the beginning that party is true. Fury is an excellent boxer in any era and should get his credit.
Yes, Deontay gave fury his chance, he thought it would be an easy win.
3rd fight, reminds me of Tyson/Holyfield 2 without all the steroids!
Wilder is going to be too anxious and unable to relax which will be his demise.
Look for a potential Dq in this fight
Freight train? More like full of fright on a train. Wilder’s heart was ripped out on Feb 22 2020. I called Wilder by knockout in 4, but after the beating he took in the second fight, there’s a high probability of the same outcome in the third fight
One fight can change a fighter forever, and Wilder will never be the same.
Fury by knockout in round 5 with a hope that my prediction does not age well.
Wilder fired Mark Breland, who tried to get him to use his jab like he wanted him too. Breland had one of the best jabs ever and Deontay wouldn’t even listen to him, and when he got his ass steamrolled, he blamed it on Breland, and fired him. The only real boxing man Wilder had in his entourage. Tommy Deas? Gimme a break, he don’t know any more than I do about training a fighter. Murray Sutherland was there for a while too. I doubt Wilder listens to any of his training team all that much. He thinks he can KO all of his opponents like the stiffs he fought for about 90% of his fights. Wilder had the tools to be at least a good fighter, way above average, but never has improved very much from early in his career. He could have one helluva jab, but don’t take advantage of it. He does, or at least, did, have the equalizer in his right hand. But that, and size is about all he’s got. He’s got good whiskers, but Fury ain’t no great shakes as a puncher, and he knocked him around like beach ball. So that means he is short on defense too. One chance, a big stray right hand is his only chance. Fury can be knocked down, but can he be KO’ed? Maybe, but Wilder will have to improve a whole heckuva lot to do it.
