IF Wilder broke his right hand in training camp then him and his team are fools for going through with the fight knowing the right hand is all he has...my opinion is inactivity at his age, long term damage from Fury fight and learning enough in training to tone down the wildness but not enough to really improve his limited boxing skills so a net negative as the explosiveness was missing...plus a very good plan from Parker and his team

Man you crazy.... you have any idea how much money these Saudis are handing out? Ain't now way he wasn't showing up for the bag.

Wilder should have fought at least 2 soft touches this year just to stay busy.

It’s callled the bum of the month club for a reason. They keep you sharp.

He wasn't willing to do fights for a smaller purses like that, after he only made around $4.5mil vs Helenius 2 yrs ago he was in negotiations with Ruiz for awhile but the 2 sides couldn't find anybody to stake enough money to satisfy both sides so it never got made.

Which is why the market needs to be reset.
No way in hell should anyone make $4.5m to fight someone like Helenius.
Those kinds of absurd kind of paydays bring about unrealistic expectations.
Same reason why we haven't seen Any Ruiz in over a year.

That's what sparring partners are for. To prepare you for tough fights, you need tough opposition. Who's going to prepare you more for a big fight, Peter McNeeley, Buster Mathis Jr, and Bruce Seldon, or Riddick Bowe, Michael Moorer, and Ray Mercer?

Gym sparring can only do so much. Fighters need to get live bullets with smaller gloves and no head gear. It matters.

Them fuck niggahs raw. They called Tank a slave. A servant ain't a slave. A servant is a person who choose to serve. His name means he is a servant to ALLAH. Damn white people and their bullshit.
