Tyson Fury belittles Deontay Wilder

wilder99By Daniel Mcglinchey: Unbeaten Heavyweight Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) took to his social media site this afternoon to voice his opinions on American Heavyweight Deontay Wilder (28-0 28 KO’s). He posted the following comments:

“Bronze Bomber (Deontay Wilder) is sh** & will not make a top level fighter coz when your 29/28ko & Audley Harrison is your best name when he was 43… Joke! So sick of this sh*t fight your own way up the boxing ladder fight Johnson. What do i gain from this? Very little reward.”

I can completely see where Tyson Fury is coming from, Tyson is one fight away from being mandatory for a world title fight why would he take a step down to face the limited Wilder?

Deontay Wilder signs with Haymon

wilder3423Deontay “Bronze Bomber” Wilder has signed with power broker Al Haymon as his personal adviser. Wilder, 28-0 with 28 knockouts in the heavyweight division was set to fight Dereck Chisora June 15th in London but legal problems related to a Las Vegas domestic assault arrest made international travel unlikely and thus scuttled the bout.

Haymon comes with impressive credentials, and currently counts Floyd Mayweather, Adrien Broner and Danny Garcia among those he counsels. The Harvard-educated Haymon made his mark in the music business before turning his attention to boxing. He has been named the “Manager of the Year” two years consecutively by Ring Magazine, though he prefers the title “Advisor.” Haymon is well positioned among the premium television networks in the United States and ofter sees his boxers receive top billing on HBO and Showtime.

The undefeated heavyweights, bright futures or inevitable declines?

fury43323By Scott Bells: It says a lot when promoters have to pad out fighters records to ensure they remain unbeaten simply due to the fact that the two who sit at the top of the tree (The Klitschkos) are so much better than the rest.

This is what, in my opinion, many promoters are doing as there is clearly a number of grades of fighters in the heavyweight division; some can make it to the top and others will not recover from the inevitable first career loss that most, if not all, will suffer to a Klitschko or a Haye type on the way through.
Let’s break them down…..

You have to answer these questions about Deontay Wilder?

deontay32By Tony Crooks: When I first watched Mike Tyson fight, I thought that this guy has a lot of potential. As time went on Tyson beat better opponents. He had speed, punch power, great footwork, great head movement and a much underrated left jab and above all he was exciting and great TV entertainment.

Forget his demise, this is reflected in other fighters that had the misfortune to be allowed to behave in inappropriate ways. Tyson was a champion at a very young age and probably not mature enough to handle all of the attention that was placed upon him.

I watch unbeaten heavyweight contender Deontay Wilder (28-0, 28 KO’s) and in all honesty, I am unable to see how he has progressed as a fighter. Compared to Tyson, Wilder is going backwards. There are some that will say “how can you compare Tyson to Wilder” very easily is the answer.

Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder would be a mismatch

wilder453By Daniel Mcglinchey: A match-up between unbeaten heavyweight contenders Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) and Deontay Wilder (28-0, 28 KO’s) would generate massive interest from the boxing world, the viewing figures would be through the roof and the press conferences would be highly entertaining.

Both fighters have a loyal set of fans that will defend them to the end but they also have a lot of critics. Deontay is from Alabama and a lot of American fans are starting to get behind the Bronze Bomber believing he is the next Heavyweight Champion of the world.

There is no denying Wilder has right hand power as he has dispatched every opponent he has faced. However, the problem is he’s faced nothing but poor opposition thus far. He’s faced pretty much 27 journeyman and Audley Harrison, a man who failed at every level and was beaten by domestic level fighters and was 41 when he stepped in the ring with Deontay.

Deontay Wilder – Does Golden Boy know something that we don’t?

deontay11By Tony Crooks: Something very strange just occurred to me; Golden Boy Promotions (GBP) are touting unbeaten heavyweight contender Deontay Wilder (28-0, 28 KO’s) as the next heavyweight champion. They say his punching power is phenomenal. They say that as soon as he hits anyone with his right hand that they will be knocked out.

Now here is my point, GBP have invested a lot of money in Wilder, training camps, travel, accommodation, trainers and corner men, all have to be paid. This all comes to a lot of money.

Chisora should come to U.S to fight Deontay Wilder

chisora45By Scott Gilfoid: The proposed June 15th fight between American heavyweight Deontay Wilder (28-0, 28 Ko’s) and British heavyweight Dereck Chisora (16-4, 10 KO’s) may not happen for a number of reasons, one of which is Deontay’s legal issues stemming from his May 4th arrest in Las Vegas, Nevada for domestic battery.

It’s unclear whether Deontay can travel outside of the U.S next month with that issue still not having been taken care of. However, that doesn’t mean that Chisora can’t come to the U.S to fight Deontay if Chisora and his promoter Frank Warren really want the fight that badly.

Wilder-Chisora fight still up in the air

chisora3243By Scott Gilfoid: The proposed June 15th clash between the up and coming star heavyweight monster puncher Deontay Wilder (28-0, 28 KO’s) and the domestic British heavyweight Dereck Chisora (16-4, 10 KO’s) is still up in the air, as the negotiations are still ongoing and it’s unclear if the fight will take place or not.

There’s a lot of stuff happening that could potentially cause the fight from getting made, such as Deontay’s recent arrest in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Chisora’s matchmaker Dean Powell is hoping the fight can be made, but there are a lot of hoops that need to be jumped through before the fight can get put together and at the end of the day it might not be worth it to make the fight. It might be best that it scraped.

Schaefer: Deontay Wilder vs. Dereck Chisora still not a done deal

chisora434By Scott Gilfoid: Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer is saying that the June 15th fight between unbeaten heavyweight contender Deontay Wilder (28-0, 28 KO’s) and the non-top 15 ranked contender Dereck Chisora (16-4, 10 KO’s) isn’t a done deal despite the fight having been announced earlier Thursday.

Dan Rafael said on his twitter: “Schaefer on Wilder-Chisora: ‘[Warren] wanted a quote from me for the press conference but I wouldn’t give it to them because it wasn’t done. We sent them like four 4 emails telling them not to announce it and sure enough they go and announce it.’”

Dereck Chisora: Back with a bang in fight against Deontay Wilder

chisora53By Dimond Dallas: First off, I know that British heavyweight “Del Boy” already made his comeback on April 20 in a lackluster TKO stoppage win over Hector Avila who was someone just there for Dereck Chisora (16-4, 10 KO’s) to beat and get some much needed rounds in after  his rather extended period of inactivity… but his upcoming fight with Deontay Wilder (28-0, 28 KO’s) next month on June 15h at the Wembley Arena in London, UK is the one fight with which he will be make his ‘real’ return to the ring… where I hope that he decides to comeback with a bang…

Dereck Chisora is a legitimate top name in heavyweight boxing now and there is something about his rise to fame that all boxing promoters and boxers alike must take note of and that is in professional boxing what is important is to have a degree of legitimacy about you as against having a padded up resume with meaningless wins against nameless oppositions…
