Deontay Wilder: “Hice lo mejor que pude, pero no fue suficientemente bueno”

Wilder ahora ha sido noqueado por Fury en cada pelea, lo que deja el futuro del boxeador de 35 años en el aire.

Deontay Wilder dio un desempeño inspiracional ante Tyson Fury pero se quedó corto el sábado en la T-Mobile Arena en Las Vegas.

El ex campeón del peso pesado mandó a la lona dos veces al actual poseedor del título, pero cayó tres veces él mismo hasta que lo derribaron al 1:10 del Round 11 de la pelea.

¿Qué podría haber dicho después del encuentro? Aquí está la declaración que compartió.

“Hice lo mejor que pude, pero no fue suficientemente bueno”, dijo Wilder. “No estoy seguro de qué pasó. Sé que en el entrenamiento hizo ciertas cosas, y también sé que no llegó a la 277 para ser un bailarín de ballet. Vino a recargarse en mí, a darme unos buenos golpes y tuvo éxito”.

Wilder (42-2-1, 41 KOS) ahora ha sido noqueado por Fury en cada pelea (31-0-1, 22 KOs), lo que deja el futuro del boxeador de 35 años en el aire.

Aún así, su esfuerzo el sábado sin duda le ganó varios fans. No hemos visto lo último de Deontay Wilder.

Tyson Fury lays out his fight schedule through next year

Heavyweight champ Tyson Fury expects to fight Deontay Wilder a third time and Anthony Joshua twice in his next three fights.

Tyson Fury seems to have a schedule in place through next year.

The heavyweight champ said on Instagram Live that he will fight Deontay Wilder a third time next and then have two fights with fellow titleholder Anthony Joshua, which should take him into 2022.

The date of the Wilder fight, originally targeted for July 18, remains uncertain because of the coronavirus pandemic.

“We’ve got the rematch with Wilder on at some point … then we’ve got the two AJ fights,” Fury said. “Well, one, and then obviously when I batter him, he’ll want a rematch.”

The handlers of Fury and Joshua reportedly have discussed the possibility of paying Wilder and Kubrat Pulev, Joshua’s scheduled opponent, to step aside so Fury and Joshua can go directly into their all-British showdown but neither Wilder nor Pulev is willing to cooperate.

Fury said he wants the third fight with Wilder anyway.

“I’ll beat him in the ring, and that’s how I’ll get him out the way,” Fury said. “I wouldn’t pay him $2 million to step aside. I’d rather give him another battering again. I’m going to take him out again for a third time, hopefully end of the year, and then we’re going to go into 2021 for the biggest fight in boxing history between two undefeated British heavyweights – me and AJ.”

Joshua isn’t undefeated – he was stopped by Andy Ruiz Jr. before winning a rematch last year – but everyone knows the magnitude of a Fury-Joshua matchup or two.

“It would probably be a two-fight deal,” Joshua promoter Eddie Hearn told Sky Sports. “Any deal between Fury and AJ, you run it twice.”

And assuming Fury gets past Wilder and two fights with Joshua?

“There’s plenty of fighters out there for me to beat up on,” Fury said. “You got Dillian Whyte, Jarrell Miller, you got Pulev, you got Ruiz, you got [Luis] Ortiz, you got [Daniel] Dubois, you got [Joe] Joyce. There’s loads.”

Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury will do battle in a heavyweight championship rematch at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas Saturday, with the card getting underway at 9 p.m. ET.

Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury: What you need to know

Wilder (42-0-1) looks good — OK, really good — as I had to pleasure of attending the press conference at MGM Grand casino Wednesday. In fact, the news conference was so bombastic, resulting in pushing and shoving between the fighters and others, that the Nevada Sports Athletic Commission has barred WBC heavyweight title holder Wilder and lineal champ Fury from participating in the traditional faceoff at the weigh-in Friday.

Fury (29-0-1) has managed 20 knockouts of his own, but he is more known for being a technician rather than a brawler like Wilder. He was dropped in the ninth and 12th rounds by Wilder in the first meeting, but he managed to scrap his way back to a draw. In fact, the two knockdowns actually cost him, as one judge had it 113-113, and admitted Fury was docked two points for the knockdowns. Razor-thin margin.

This rematch will be one of the best fights of 2020, and it could be a trilogy if this bout ends in another draw or a close decision.

Wilder-Fury 2 odds, picks, tips and best bets

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Friday at 1:50 p.m. ET.

Wilder (-110) is a slight favorite over Fury (+100) on the 3-way betting line, with a Draw (+2000) also a choice. It isn’t a wise decision to back a second straight draw, however.

Wilder’s knockout percentage is simply amazing, but Fury is one of two fighters to avoid being knocked out by the WBC champ. Vegas considers this fight a toss-up, and the general public lean goes slightly to the champ. Backing WILDER TO WIN ON POINTS (FULL DISTANCE) at +800 is a good start to your ticket.

Special Wilder/Fury II betting line

Bet $1, WIN $100 (in free bets) if either Wilder or Fury win. Bet now! Visit BetMGM for terms and conditions.

If you don’t believe the fight goes to the judges, or you like Wilder late, go with WILDER TO WIN IN ROUNDS 10 THROUGH 12 (+800). That’s quite a nice return. Fury will not go quietly into the night, but Wilder could finish him late if fatigue becomes an issue. You could also play it safe — particularly if you’re on the fence on who wins but like the bout to go deep into the Vegas night — and take 9 ROUNDS OR MORE (-150).

Are you new to sports betting? A $10 wager on Wilder straight up at -110 to win outright pays just a $9.10 profit. 

My ticket will consist of a straight 3-way bet on Wilder (-110) to win, with a wager in Round Group Betting 2 which sees Wilder in Rounds 9-12 (+550). I’ll couple that with a hedge bet of the fight lasting 9 rounds or more (-150), regardless of winner. In addition, the Round Group Betting 3 section of when will the fight be won has ROUNDS 7-12 (+200) listed, which is a solid play, regardless of winner.

Jarrell Miller, back in trash-talk mode, takes jabs at Wilder-Fury II

Jarrell Miller knows no shame, and is not afraid to let everyone know. The disgraced heavyweight took time to denigrate Wilder-Fury II.

Jarrell Miller is a disgraced drug cheat in the eyes of many, but don’t expect him to lie low.

With the ink still fresh from signing a multi-year promotional contract with Top Rank, the Brooklyn heavyweight is eager to make his ring return later this spring. He’s also apparently eager to get back to his trash-talking ways. His favorite target? The heavyweight division’s upper class. 

“Beyoncé wilder undercard is going to be a lil dry I think it need(s) a lil Juicing Up,” the Brooklyn heavyweight posted on Instagram Friday in a reference to the upcoming heavyweight title fight between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury.

Juicing up? Was that a Freudian slip? Or just Miller being Miller?

We might as well get used to it. Top Rank boasts a slew of heavyweights who can serve as potential opponents for Miller, including Kubrat Pulev, Carlos Takam and Agit Kabayel, to name a few.

Miller tested positive for several PEDs ahead of his scheduled tussle against then British titleholder Anthony Joshua in June 2018. He was dropped from the card but, in the opinion of many, the penalty he received was a slap on the rest: The WBA suspended him for six months while the New York State Athletic Commission, citing Miller’s expired license, took no punitive action.

After staying out of the headlines for a few months, Miller linked up with a new manager in James Prince, the manager of former two-time titleholder Andre Ward and current featherweight titleholder Shakur Stevenson.

In another post, Miller recorded himself addressing his followers about the Wilder-Fury pay-per-view tilt, comparing it to bodily waste.

“They want to give you a fart fight,” he said. “If you want to watch a fart fight on pay-per-view, I think Deontay Wilder-Fury might be your card. But if you want that smoke smoke, come holla at your boy, cuz I”m back and I’mma smoke somebody ass. I can’t wait, I really can’t wait.

“Big Baby is back. The most entertaining heavyweight in the game.”
