Deontay Wilder Hopes To Get 'Public' Praise From Mike Tyson
By Boxing Clever

Published On Tue Nov 26, 2019, 10:53 PM EST

Some historians are tabbing Deontay Wilder as the biggest heavyweight hitter since a 80s version of Mike Tyson.

This past Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Wilder retained his WBC heavyweight crown with a one-punch seventh round knockout of Luis Ortiz in their pay-per-view rematch.

Ortiz was well ahead on the cards when Wilder sent him crashing down at the end of the seventh.

Tyson was ringside, watching Wilder's most recent knockout victim.

According to Wilder, Tyson was praising him at ringside - but wishes the praise was also made in public.

"I had some people sitting by Mike (at my fight). Mike gave me some praises, which I wish he would have said in public. Behind closed doors is cute and s**t but out in public?! Just express yourself. I don't know what the deal is with the old generation, new generation. Like, the old is the past, bro -- let it go," Wilder told TMZ.

"And sometimes history does repeat itself and God brings others that come along to make their own history. I had people telling me Mike was saying 'when I knocked guys out, I had to use combinations but with Wilder man that guy can hit'. I am the hardest-hitting puncher in boxing history, period."

Wilder is heading to a February rematch with Tyson Fury, and he expects to win by knockout.

"I mean, if him getting up off his back is the 'Kryptonite' than Lord have mercy," Wilder said.

"Have mercy upon him the 2nd time because he won't get up. Because I'm gonna get him again. These fighters have to be perfect for me for 12 rounds and that's 36 minutes! 36 minutes you gotta be perfect!"

In the aftermath of his most recent KO win, Wilder explained that he still regards his 2016 knockout of Artur Szpilka as the most brutal of them all.

"Man, I think the (Artur Szpilka) fight still tops it. Just the way that he landed and I really didn't see him breathing ... at all. I didn't see him start breathing until his GF came over and he finally woke up," Wilder said.

"It was like something in the movies and I actually had to witness it with my own eyes and it was amazing to see that. That one, I really felt it. Ortiz, I didn't feel the punch."

if they didnt twist the man's words and this is accurate....:hhh:...you're a heavyweight champion of the world..stop looking for validation...you didn't show iron mike the proper respect..are you surprised he's not rocking with you like that? i swear espn is going to have to make a new 30 for 30 documentary..chasing tyson part 2 where HW champs in the post tyson era are chasing mike tyson :heh:

Yep, the new generation should stop pressuring the likes of Tyson and Mayweather thorugh the media to embrace them. An embracement is either comes naturally or there's no embracement. Embracement is not something you can force out, it's a feeling.
They should care about their own businesses instead and if they are doing well enough the embracement will come anyway.

Obviously he wouldn't say that about himself but you don't have to be "perfect for 36 minutes" to beat Wilder either, you can knock him out too. He got hurt plenty of times already in his career and this is HW. Wilder, AJ, Fury, all are vulnerable to aggressive short fighters coming with overhands and wide hooks. If an actual good swarmer/pressure fighter who can slip shots would turn up idk what these guys would do with him.
Fury struggled with Wallin, Wilder looks bad on his backfoot and in close, Joshua got hurt and later stopped because he was feeling himslef in the pocket with a short pressure fighter.

Why they have J Rock fighting Jeison Rosario?
He has 2 belts and he's coming off the best win and performance of the division.
Why do we need to see Jeison Rosario in with him?
It went from Hurd (who didn't want it) to Lara and now ended up being Rosario :gucci:
How the fukk they can't get any top opponents to someone holding 2 titles


Chris Colbert vs Fortuna on the undercard is good though wondering if it's a too early step up for Fortuna

Nah fukk all that. Barclays done had enough big fights to last a life time. Let some other markets eat.

This will also make these nikkas get out and actually promote locally instead of always throwing too random nikkas from different parts of the country to fight in fukking New York.
