Wilder to Fury: You’re the biggest joke in the game

wilder52By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten 6’9” British heavyweight Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) and 6’7” American talent Deontay Wilder (27-0, 27 KO’s) went at it when Fury went after Wilder out of the blue on his social media site causing the 27-year-old Wilder to fire back with a brief salvo of his views on Fury. It seems that Wilder’s response shut Fury’s yap because he didn’t respond after that.

Fury: “Bronze Bomber [Wilder] say it all Bronze Bomber 3[rd] place loser who fights bums. Man, you’re a laughing stock. You even use the 3[rd] place in your name.”

Wilder: “Tyson Fury, you’re the biggest joke in the game. It started when you upper-cut yourself. You’re the queen of all B*****. I would fight him [Kevin Johnson]. I’ve sparred Kevin many times. The thing is would he take it?”

Deontay Wilder: I’ll be the next heavyweight champion of the world

wilder2By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten heavyweight contender Deontay Wilder (27-0, 27 KO’s) believes he’s on course to become the next heavyweight champion of the world unless somehow IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko is upset in his mismatch on May 4th against Franceso Pianeta in Germany.

Wilder, 6’7”, is in the process of possibly getting a shot against David Price conqueror Tony Thompson after Wilder struck out in attempting to get British heavyweight Tyson Fury to face him.

Wilder said on his social media site, “I’ll float like a butterfly and sting like a bee, [and] definitely no one hits like the Bronze B; the next heavy champ of the world will soon be me.”

Schaefer: We’ll have Deontay Wilder fight Tony Thompson in Alabama

wilder23By Scott Gilfoid: If David Price wants to avenge his 2nd round knockout loss to #1 IBF Tony Thompson (37-3, 25 KO’s) then he had better try and snatch him up really quick to sign for a fight because the powerful Golden Boy Promotions is in the process of booking Thompson for a fight against the talented heavyweight puncher #9 WBA Deontay Wilder (27-0, 27 KO’s) in the near future in a fight that will be staged in Wilder’s home state of Alabama.

Schaefer said last Saturday night, “We believe Deontay Wilder is ready as well. We’d like to put him with the guy that beat David Price; Thompson. And so we’ll look and have them fight from Alabama, but I think Deontay Wilder is an exciting young heavyweight prospect in the United States.”

Schaefer wants to match Deontay Wilder vs. Tony Thompson on CBS

wilder5By Scott Gilfoid: If Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer gets his way he’ll be looking to match his talented undefeated heavyweight Deontay Wilder (27-0, 27 KO’s) against #9 IBF Tony Thompson (37-3, 25 KO’s) in a fight that would be televised on CBS so that more American boxing fans can see the 6’7” Wilder, according to ESPN.

With his fights limited to the premium channel Showtime, it keeps a lot of American fans from getting a glimpse of the young knockout talent, but Schaefer would like to change that if possible so that more fans can see Wilder in action.

Scott: Deontay Wilder is ready now

wilder52By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten heavyweight Malik Scott believes undefeated knockout artist Deontay Wilder (27-0, 27 KO’s) is ready to go after the big time after getting a look at him when the heavyweights assisted heavyweight contender Tomasz Adamek in sparring.

Scott said on his social media site “I believe BronzeBomber [Deontay Wilder] is ready now as well, bro. No risk, no reward.”

Scott’s thoughts pretty much echo those of the late great trainer Emanuel Steward, who last year around this time said that Wilder is about a year away from challenging the top heavyweights in the division.

Scott, Jennings, & Wilder: Who is The top American Heavyweight Prospect?

wilder3By Bradley Swaine: Throughout the history boxing it is fair to say america has ruled the heavyweight division or at least had top fighters in every era of the heavyweight division. But in the last few years they have been quite anonymous. I am English but I believe we need a good American Heavyweight who will it be.

The American scene currently holds quite a few prospects but the top three have got to be Malik Scott (35-0-1 12KO), Bryant Jennings (16-0 8KO) and Deontay Wilder (27-0 27KO).

Starting with Malik Scott, until fairly recently he has being anonymous to the boxing world but as of late he has entered the frame with a great performance against Vyacheslav “Czar” Glazkov (14-0-1) and was in many’s opinion robbed by a bad decision. in that fight he showed brilliant footwork and great hand-speed proving he could be a test for anyone on his given day.

Wilder’s trainer to De La Hoya: Let’s make Deontay vs. Tony Thompson

wilder777By Scott Gilfoid: Jay Deas, the trainer for the talented unbeaten heavyweight contender Deontay Wilder (27-0, 27 KO’s) wants Golden Boy Promotions to set up a fight between the unbeaten Wilder and #11 IBF Tony Thompson (37-3, 25 KO’s) so that Wilder can show off his stuff for the American boxing public as well the world.

Price, Wilder, Fury and all of those other protected fighters out there watch out for ear punches!

thompson211By Tony Crooks: As a writer, I read every single comment on this website and I always listen to what the public has to say, yes I am British, having said that, I judge no boxer on his colour or what part of the world that he originated from. I look at boxing ability and hard cold facts.

The sole reason that David Price was knocked out was because of poor defensive skills, he should not have been hit in the ear in the first place! As I have always said, defence is the ultimate skill in boxing. So many people harp on about punching power and knockouts. The art of boxing under the Queensbury rules is to hit without being hit.

Another reason why David Price was knocked out was because he has been fed with low level opposition. Lennox Lewis lost both times in world title fights, not when he was on his way up like Price. Lewis would have destroyed Wilder, Price and Fury in his early days.

One Down, two to go!

wilder322By Tony Crooks: In one of my previous articles, I mentioned that David Price, Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder’s managements all avoided each other in order to make as much money as possible. I do not have to tell you what happened to Price at the weekend. In another article, I mentioned the importance of a good chin. It kind of relates back to the old school bully mentality, you beat up on people that you have the confidence to beat until that one day when someone hit’s you back harder.

This is my case on protected fighters, Tony Thompson is way past his prime, and he was just another patsy in David Price’s road to glory. One punch is all it took to in all honesty end Price’s career. We can all say it was a lucky punch and if my auntie had balls she would be my uncle, so that has no bearing on the facts.

Deontay Wilder comments on Thompson’s upset of Price

price56By Scott Gilfoid: Undefeated American heavyweight contender Deontay Wilder (27-0, 27 KO’s) was stunned at hearing the news about American Tony Thompson’s surprising 2nd round knockout win over Britain’s David Price (15-1, 13 KO’s) last Saturday night.

Thompson beat the UK’s best heavyweight, and beat him the best way you can by knocking him out. In a thinly veiled reference to unbeaten Tyson Fury, Wilder say there will be other heavyweights that will get exposed in 2013.

Wilder said on his twitter “I told them not to sleep on Tony omg [oh my God].. Never sleep on any fighter a lot of them will be #exposed this year. Never disrespect the national anthem. #SoDisrespectful.
