MitrikDenholm:

Of course either fighter can get knocked out and BTW that was the shittiest call out I've ever seen. From the looks of things AJ wants the fight but Eddie Hearn doesn't want him to have it. When they mentioned Wilders name at first he avoided bringing him up and just spoke of unification ambitions.

Then when they asked him who he wanted he said wilder or fury and that it's up to hearn Al haymon his trainer etc to make it happen.

A call out is a call out. No unnecessary style points needed for that.

AJ has taken out better fighters than Wilder. He's beaten 4 of the top 10 heavyweights and that's excluding Klitschko. Same can't really be said for Deontay

So I doubt they look at Deontay as a guy AJ can't beat. It's a risky fight but one that has to be made anyway. There's too much money at stake for it not to happen especially with a potential sequel depending on how the fight goes.

MitrikDenholm:

Then they asked him what he would say to wilder and he somehow brought dilian up.

The way I see it, he wants wilder but Eddie has a contingency plan somehow. But there'll be no hiding place for him.

I don't see any issues with bringing out your client who so just happens to be the #1 contender for Wilder's belt

MitrikDenholm:

Here's why AJ won't survive with Wilder, first of all he won't have that reach advantage he enjoys because wilder is taller than him and has a longer reach. He is very stiff with his Popeye muscles and at some point wilder will break through his defence with his reach if he tries to do what he did today. And with wilder all he needs is one punch. I swear I won't even be surprised if the match on lasted one round or a couple of rounds. Your man was exposed tonight.

And this is where AJ's stronger inside game potentially comes to play, AJ is arguably better with guys his size based on what I've seen thus far. It's either he stays with the jab or goes inside

And unlike Deontay who needs to swing his hands like a helicopter all AJ needs is an uppercut or two on Deontay's suspect chin. Bear in mind he can generate such blows in a New York minute and If Molina could wobble him then I like AJ's odds.

One round? Lol Wilder would do well not to charge at AJ like a wild rhino like he did with Stiverne. O lewu it's very dangerous

MitrikDenholm:

As for wilder saying he wants a body, I watched the full video and I think he got carried away because that's a very provocative thing to say. I remember after the szpilka fight he said "we risk our lives for your entertainment", he understands that and he should remain true to that. He doesn't need to say outrageous things to sell a fight.

I think it was just Wilder being his usual OTT self. These guys always look visibly shook when they hurt someone else to the point where they need to be stretchered out. I really don't think Wilder meant that literally. I've heard him say he prays for victory and for the guy he fights to be able to go back to his family, I think he was just applying shock value

Lol are you sure these Celtics need Kyrie Irving? These guys are the grimiest and grittiest bunch I've seen in a while

Patrick McCaw is gone. The kid isn't even moving. Seems like a fractured spine to me.

Eruditor, Cuteredd we need Jesus Bruh..

Brotherhood is bigger than basketball. I'm almost crying Bruh

This injury reminds me so much of what happened to my boy Ryan Shazier.

For now basketball is secondary and the focus should be for him to make a full recovery to be able to function normally never mind as an elite athlete

A40:

A call out is a call out. No unnecessary style points needed for that.

AJ has taken out better fighters than Wilder. He's beaten 4 of the top 10 heavyweights and that's excluding Klitschko. Same can't really be said for Deontay.

LOL A forty one year old battered Klitschko coming off an 18 month layoff and a loss doesn't count as Klitschko. Ortiz is more technically sound than all the fighters on AJs resume. His body of work is just as padded as Wilders, Fury's too I suppose. It's the heavyweight division, they're mostly bums.

And it's not Wilders fault that past solid opponents like povetkin and that polish guy failed their drug tests because they felt they needed to cheat to beat him. Even Ortiz popped did he not? Wilder gave fought him later on anyway.

So I doubt they look at Deontay as a guy AJ can't beat. It's a risky fight but one that has to be made anyway. There's too much money at stake for it not to happen especially with a potential sequel depending on how the fight goes.

Look at the big picture, how much do they stand to lose in the long run of wilder makes light work of him and slaps him around? The hype is gone, the excitement is gone.

I don't see any issues with bringing out your client who so just happens to be the #1 contender for Wilder's belt

LOL then he should stop saying Wilder is fucking Joshua, hearns the one who doesn't want the fight. He'd rather wilder fights Whyte.

Wilder can play it however he wants to. He can keep him at bay with his jabs like he normally does, either way, Wilders a predator who just needs one chance which based on Joshua's previous fights he's definitely going to get. And his left takes people too BTW. Ask Washington.

And unlike Deontay who needs to swing his hands like a helicopter all AJ needs is an uppercut or two on Deontay's suspect chin. Bear in mind he can generate such blows in a New York minute and If Molina could wobble him then I like AJ's odds.

The whole windmill thing is overstated and is just a myth people like to throw about. He may lack some fundamentals but he bides his time and only throws windmills when notices that his opponent is hurt.

One round? Lol Wilder would do well not to charge at AJ like a wild rhino like he did with Stiverne. O lewu it's very dangerous

19 of Wilders previous fights ended in the first round, just saying. He needs one chance and it's sweet dreams Popeye.

Yuup. Agreed. He however needs to be more careful with his utterances. What he said was too crude.

BTW your man hearn is saying he's trying to set up another fight for AJ before wilder. Like I said, milking his cow.

His body of work is just as padded as Wilders, Fury's too I suppose. It's the heavyweight division, they're mostly bums.

A 50 year old Klitschko is better than anyone Deontay has fought living or dead including Ortiz. Good as he might be has never had a strap round his waist. It's unfortunate he is from Cuba but it is what it is..

The point is AJ has fought better fighters in his shorter career. Bare facts..

Boxing is not math but based on their mutual opponent AJ was much better. Facts

MitrikDenholm:

And how is it Wilders fault that more solid opponents like povetkin and that polish guy failed drug tests because they felt they needed to cheat to win? Heck didn't Ortiz also fail a drug tests before wilder going on to fight him anyway later on?

…
That Polish guy? You don't even know his name. Lmaooooo my point exactly.. Just like Tony Bellew was trying to say.

MitrikDenholm:

Look at the big picture, how much do they stand to lose in the long run of wilder makes light work of him and slaps him around? The hype is gone, the excitement is gone.

I actually like Deontay. He's a very entertaining champion and fun to watch but that you think Deontay would make light work of AJ is laughable to put it mildly

MitrikDenholm:

LOL then he should stop saying Wilder is fucking Joshua, hearns the one who doesn't want the fight. He'd rather wilder fights Whyte.

Nothing wrong with Wilder fighting Whyte. I heard AJ might take on Big Baby Miller who is a credible opponent if you ask me. I also heard Wilder wants a 50/50 purse. If true he must be on crack

MitrikDenholm:

Wilder can play it however he wants to. He can keep him at bay with his jabs like he normally does, either way, Wilders a predator who just needs one chance which based on Joshua's previous fights he's definitely going to get. And his left takes people too BTW. Ask Washington.

Keep AJ at bay? Loool OK. You think he is that Haitian Wasteman Stiverne? No be the same Wilder wey fight Molina or are you talking about another Wilder? Lol I like Wilder but this hype is getting out of hand. His defense is average. His chin is suspect

MitrikDenholm:

The whole windmill thing is overstated and is just a myth people like to throw about. He may lack some fundamentals but he bides his time and only throws windmills when notices that his opponent is hurt.

His hand speed is topnotch I give him that but he leaves himself so open all AJ needs is an uppercut.

MitrikDenholm:

19 of Wilders previous fights ended in the first round, just saying. He needs one chance and it's sweet dreams Popeye.

But he needed 8 rounds to struggle and beat the Molina AJ was able to beat in 3

Mike Tyson said more than that. That bum Chisora is even worse. That's just the persona Deontay is trying to build, every fighter cannot be a gentleman in the end.

Well if Deontay is not willing to be reasonable and go along with the demands of AJ and his team then AJ might as well get busy..

The fight would hold but its up to your boy to be realistic

A40:

The point is AJ has fought better fighters in his shorter career. Bare facts..

Boxing is not math but based on their mutual opponent AJ was much better. Facts

The quality gap between their opponents does not require a bridge and like i said, it's not on Wilders head what his opponents choose to do.

That Polish guy? You don't even know his name. Lmaooooo my point exactly.. Just like Tony Bellew was trying to say.

LOL how do you expect me to keep up with every weird European name in boxing? Point is he was good.

Bellew is right, wilder is relatively unknown but his name is on the rise and will explode once he destroys popeye. And Bellew has been d ick riding AJ for a while now.

I actually like Deontay. He's a very entertaining champion and fun to watch but that you think Deontay would make light work of AJ is laughable to put it mildly

I am not saying I expect it, I'm saying I won't be surprised if it happened. That's just the unpredictability of wilder, and power punchers, they can end a fight with one punch.

Nothing wrong with Wilder fighting Whyte. I heard AJ might take on Big Baby Miller who is a credible opponent if you ask me. I also heard Wilder wants a 50/50 purse. If true he must be on crack

Nope. This is the time for AJ Wilder, no more excuses for both camps.

Wilder has publicly stated he'll accept 40 (still a little high IMO, Lol) but should be fair enough since AJ will get to satisfy his "unification ambition".

Keep AJ at bay? Loool OK. You think he is that Haitian Wasteman Stiverne? No be the same Wilder wey fight Molina or are you talking about another Wilder? Lol I like Wilder but this hype is getting out of hand. His defense is average. His chin is suspect

AJ will do well to keep a distance from deontay and those dumbbells he eats with.

Stop judging their performance against the same opponent, you know better than that.

And wilders chin is way better than AJs from what I can see.

His hand speed is topnotch I give him that but he leaves himself so open all AJ needs is an uppercut.

Actually AJ has better hand speed than wilder. But If AJ was a southpaw then wilder should be worried but he's not.

But he needed 8 rounds to struggle and beat the Molina AJ was able to beat in 3

Stop

Mike Tyson said more than that. That bum Chisora is even worse. That's just the persona Deontay is trying to build, every fighter cannot be a gentleman in the end.

Lol. Yes, Mike Tyson and his "eating babies" statement, what did chisora say?

Still, there's no place for that kind of talk. Especially not now. That persona doesn't sell anymore.

Well if Deontay is not willing to be reasonable and go along with the demands of AJ and his team then AJ might as well get busy..

Then they should meet half way, I reckon wilder is willing to be the B side, the problem is popeyes people keep trying to pit him against Whyte without Popeye in the contract.

The fight would hold but its up to your boy to be realistic

Naah man, it's up to Popeye and that wan ker to stop ducking and make this happen.

LMAO LeBron got himself drunk at a Justin Timberlake concert last night and now he has a hangover and is struggling to score even 10 points

The Rockets may burn out before the post-season starts and Di Antoni is disputing that. The first spot is secured in the western conference, considering the heavy minutes his core have played, I would suggest resting a couple of his players in the coming games.

I'm pretty much saying the quality of opponents Deontay has faced is why I'm not alarmed about AJ's chances and it's why I don't believe he is invincible like you are trying to propagate

It's time for whoever the promoters say it's time for. The fight would happen this I know for sure

I frankly don't think he deserves more than 30-35% to be perfectly honest. Who are Deontay's reps? Do you even know them? You have to admit the guy is all over the place just like his fighting

Money and location I believe is still the major sore point rn

Crew chief Bill Kennedy issued a statement at the request of a pool reporter:

"Mr. Durant was ejected due to the fact of two technical fouls. The first technical foul was issued for vulgarity. After the first technical foul was issued, the official tried to walk away, started to walk away, and the vulgarity escalated, and then he was assessed a second technical foul for the escalation of the vulgarity, resulting in an ejection."

Of course he's not invincible, but AJ doesn't look like the man to stop him.

I've not seen any American that is not deek riding Deontay either. It's low key a British vs America thing.

Agreed. But even Brits like Saunders are aware of AJs shortcomings. Brits would much rather Fury represent them and no, it has nothing to do with skin colour.

Douglas v Tyson and Rahman v Lewis brought even bigger surprises. Anything can happen in boxing. My confidence with AJ is he's a more polished guy who possesses more power than anything Deontay has ever faced

And same can be said about deontay. He will be the most dangerous opponent AJ has faced.

I know Lou dibella is his promoter. He's as credible as promoters come.

But you were judging on his fight against Parker so?

I was comparing the way Joshua looked not the way he looked against a fighter that wilder has fought before. Boxers get better or worse plus style and matchups.

Money and location I believe is still the major sore point rn

Wilder is willing to go to the UK and he's willing to take a smaller cut, he'd be stu pid not to. But the mixed signals coming out of AJs camp is what's alarming.

Western Conference ain't no joke. Lebron better stay in the East cos he definitely don't want no smoke. You don't need to ask me why he's joining the 76ers next season.


We have OKC, Denver, Pelicans, Jazz, Wolves, Clippers and Spurs and any of these guys can miss the playoffs. Two weeks decides it all..

I know the NBA don't want to give refunds to the thousands of GSW fans that were mortified to see KD leave but they should spare us off this false narrative.

If you watched the video, KD walked away after hurling vulgarities at the ref. So at what point did he charge at him again for the second T?

Also, the people pushing this fib don't seem to realize this was a nationally televised game in which few possessions before that issue, KD was fouled twice to no avail. Then Green was charged for barely touching the bucks player (replays show he did not). So imagine KD going again to the rim only to get hammered and the refs miss it. That is why he lost his cool.

I am not justifying his tantrums but I would not let this spin tale by the NBA go unchecked either.

Let me state this first. Was that a foul? Absolutely...

Baba, I agree with some of your sentiments, however, it almost seems the Warriors organization and fans are choosing not hold Durant responsible in any of these or are too carried away to call this behavior completely.

Honestly, I would be highly disappointed if the events of the 2016 loss to Cavs repeats itself through Durant. This lack of awareness, accountability is the core reason why the Clippers lob city assemble failed in my opinion.

Baba, I watched the entirety of this game and Durant had no business, absolutely no business remaining in the face of the referee screaming vulgar words at him. Watch the attached video and listen closely and you would hear the first time the whistle was blown for the first tech but Durant continued and that was when you can hear multiple whistling from the ref for the ejection.

You are right and truth be told, I was livid with him (KD). But I saw him walking away after the first T. Even if he said anything else how does it detract from or add to the first T? I think the ref let his own emotions get in the way. Which was annoying because they were wrong on the missed call and the 2 or so others prior.

To be honest....since i started supporting K.D right from his days at OKC,i have never seen this other side of K.D..I dont know what has changed about him...Some analysts are even comparing him to Rasheed Wallace which is very outrageous considering the type of player (quiet and reserved),K.D used to be...

Considering the play,K.D didnt need to continue after the first tech..The ball was even with the Warriors and they were on the run of play and in control,about to hit a shot...

He's having a bit of an identity crisis. He has always been super nice since his rookie year and after he moved to GSW, he's been trying to fit into the villain role and he's doing a bad job at it. He's still super nice on the inside but if the media and fans keep coming at you everyday over a decision you made to create a successful part for yourself, you can't afford to be soft and let them get into your head. KD is still the real KD (not the snake some are calling him). However, this has very little to do with his ejections. The refs have been outrageous especially this season and many of his complaints are legit and the ejections aren't just worth it if you still watch him play. He's no Rasheed Wallace those who make that comparison are the blog boys who won't stop beating him for joining the Warriors. Giannis almost beat up the ref yesterday. It just shows how human these guys are. KD will be good.

you may right, but the fact is KD is ejected and sometimes you got dirty play, but you should not be angry, even referee turn blind eyes to what you be treated unfair, but play in peace mind and keep cool is the key to win.

KD has never been nice. Durant has always had a mean, mischevious weirdo personality that he hides under being the nice and chill tall black guy. The pressure of moving to GS and just the fact that he is growing older and cares less means you are seeing more of the real Durant. But is what he did here that bad? WOuld Kobe get the same kind of heat? The way refs allow folks to get molested sometimes, you have to call them out. I do wish it was a coach that did this instead of Durant, because nowadays these refs are superstars in their own eyes. They may try to take revenge in another game.

He's having a bit of an identity crisis. He has always been super nice since his rookie year and after he moved to GSW, he's been trying to fit into the villain role and he's doing a bad job at it. He's still super nice on the inside but if the media and fans keep coming at you everyday over a decision you made to create a successful part for yourself, you can't afford to be soft and let them get into your head. KD is still the real KD (not the snake some are calling him). However, this has very little to do with his ejections. The refs have been outrageous especially this season and many of his complaints are legit and the ejections aren't just worth it if you still watch him play. He's no Rasheed Wallace those who make that comparison are the blog boys who won't stop beating him for joining the Warriors. Giannis almost beat up the ref yesterday. It just shows how human these guys are. KD will be good.

There are nice snakes out there (I got this from natgeo wild). Kevin Durant just happens to be one of them. If he wants to lash out, I say good for him, he should let those refs know how he feels and he shouldn't mince his words, especially in the playoffs. And if it results in rejections? well at least he stood up for himself. He's obviously being treated more unfairly than any other player in the league by the refs. .

KD has never been nice. Durant has always had a mean, mischevious weirdo personality that he hides under being the nice and chill tall black guy. The pressure of moving to GS and just the fact that he is growing older and cares less means you are seeing more of the real Durant. But is what he did here that bad? WOuld Kobe get the same kind of heat? The way refs allow folks to get molested sometimes, you have to call them out. I do wish it was a coach that did this instead of Durant, because nowadays these refs are superstars in their own eyes. They may try to take revenge in another game.

KD na naturally soft guy even the blind can see. I agree about the refs part
