RIP MR. SMOKE
Lame excuse for sure. Even if it could be true he's only putting more pressure on himself. And now he's really in a must win situation cause the jokes are gonna be even worse next time if he don't pull it out. You just gotta give fury his props and come back stronger. He's just building himself into a deeper hole with this shyt.
one of the worst damn excuses I ever heard good lord. He got rid of breland too? It's over for wilder stick a fork in em. Should have kept quiet like aj and got to business
The axe murderer
For I am death and I ride on a pale horse
He really paid 40k for that costume too
“He didn’t hurt me at all, but the simple fact is ... that my uniform was way too heavy for me,” Wilder told Yahoo Sports by telephone. “I didn’t have no legs from the beginning of the fight. In the third round, my legs were just shot all the way through. But I’m a warrior and people know that I’m a warrior. It could easily be told that I didn’t have legs or anything. A lot of people were telling me, ‘It looked like something was wrong with you.’ Something was, but when you’re in the ring, you have to bluff a lot of things. I tried my best to do so. I knew I didn’t have the legs because of my uniform.
“I was only able to put it on [for the first time] the night before but I didn’t think it was going to be that heavy. It weighed 40, 40-some pounds with the helmet and all the batteries. I wanted my tribute to be great for Black History Month. I wanted it to be good and I guess I put that before anything.”
Wilder was unhappy that Breland stopped the fight. His head trainer, Jay Deas, had criticized Breland at the post-fight news conference, which Wilder did not attend, for throwing in the towel. Wilder said he had spoken to members of his team long before and said he never wanted them to stop a fight.
Wilder has frequently said in the past that he wants a body on his record and said he’d emphasized to his team, including Breland, many times that they were never to stop a bout.
He said he still loved Breland, but that he wouldn’t be part of the team going forward as a result.
“I am upset with Mark for the simple fact that we’ve talked about this many times and it’s not emotional,” Wilder said. “It is not an emotional thing, it’s a principal thing. We’ve talked about this situation many, many years before this even happened. I said as a warrior, as a champion, as a leader, as a ruler, I want to go out on my shield. If I’m talking about going in and killing a man, I respect the same way. I abide by the same principal of receiving.
“So I told my team to never, ever, no matter what it may look like, to never throw the towel in with me because I’m a special kind. I still had five rounds left. No matter what it looked like, I was still in the fight.”
When Yahoo Sports said Breland was looking out for his best interest, Wilder said he got that, but it didn’t matter.
“I understand he was looking out for me and trying to do what he felt was right, but this is my life and my career and he has to accept my wishes,” Wilder said.
Wilder also went in on Bayless, who long has been considered among the elite referees in the game. He said Bayless had told him before the fight in the locker room that he could be disqualified for a number of different violations, many of which he said Fury wound up doing to him.
Bayless took a point from Fury in the fifth, but that did not placate Wilder, who was well behind at that point.
“The referee told me specifically that if I hit him in the back of the head or hit him on the break, he’d disqualify me,” Wilder said. “But I guess that was only directed toward me, because he allowed Fury to do those things. That’s the one thing that bothered me of everything.”
“I’m super happy for Tyson Fury and I really want to give him my complete congratulations,” Wilder said. “He’s had a lot of great accomplishments in his career and this is right there with all of them. I’m very excited about his career and what he has done. He deserves a lot of credit.”

Wilder if he stops ducking people and fights high level competition is looking to get himself seriously injured or unconscious. Your team are there for a reason, it’s not like Mark did it lightly.

You really eating this up huh?
Oh yea he is, I wouldn't advise it but that man got belief in himself that is on some other level shyt
I see it already, he gonna say to himself if he didnt get that ear shot, he would have laid out Fury eventually.
You were right. This dude is a fool. Fury in 5.
As a professional if you ever were to try it on and you feel uncomfortable you decide not to go forward with it. Any normal person would be like - hmm this is heavy - lets take a few things off, leave the mask and keep it moving. Also if you think they completely forgot about the weight of the costume you are delusional, at the highest level of entertainment everything is considered. It was prob heavy and uncomfortable a bit but no excuse...
Wilder is a clown, a disgrace and embarrassment. His actions deserve all the ridicule he’s about to get. If he’d been real and kept it true would have given him respect. He’s proven himself to be a complete clown.
I can't even decide how to comment on this stupid shyt
He’s a delusional fraudulent clown straight up. That shot was cause he got caught he lowered his head and got caught with a jab before it too. He’s a clown, he has no integrity whatsoever.
