Mark Breland was/is a stud: Olympic Gold Medal in 1984, and 2x World Champ as a Pro...and an American legend.

[@grammartroll739]

He was also a five-time New York Golden Gloves champion, which is a record.

and equilibrium gone cos of back of the head/ear shots

[@lloydporchia7583]

I don't agree with firing his trainer but his trainers should have taught him how to get out of the way, use defensive techniques and footwork. That way he would have figured out how to stay away from those punches in the first place.

[@IXIRob_MarleyIXI]

Wilder looks bad big time after this fight ... embarrassing

[@macnutz4206]

Breland was the only one in wilder's corner that was concerned with or really cared about the fighter. Wilder was gone, it is very, very unlikely that he still had that killer right hand. He was exhausted, disoriented, his balance was gone. It is very likely that if the fight had not been stopped when it was, that Wilder would have gotten permanent injuries. That stuff ends careers and changes a person's life. Fury does NOT have pillow hand punches, he was hurting Wilder and the best Wilder could do was take more punishment. Now, he will fight another day, unless this loss ruins him mentally. Sometimes, when a guy is unbeaten for a long time, his first real loss will break something inside him, like it did with Naseem "Prince" Hamed, of a few years ago. I expect he will fight on another day but without that stoppage, his other days might have been over, as far as boxing is concerned.

[@flexjohnson18]

Macnutz420 his walkout suit was heavy 😉

[@moves3297]

Yeah I agree with you I was saying that they had to stop the fight or else wilder was going to get killed but then I got the time I thought I get a ruptured eardrum some fighter are built take punishment and they take punishment and every fight but deontay Wilder hasn't been shown to take punishment tyson f***** him up

[@macnutz4206]

@@moves3297 Sadly, the ruptured eardrum was not all of the problem. There is some damage to the inner ear that may require surgery. The inner ear damage is why his balance was gone. It is not super serious surgery but it is necessary and it indicates that taking more damage on that side of the head could have done some serious damage to the inner ear. i agree with you that Wilder is not a tough fighter. Some fighters do take a lot of damage and keep ticking. Deontay is not one of them. Like the Japanese Zero fighter, he hits very hard but can't take much damage before something breaks. But damn, the man hits like a tank.

[@macnutz4206]

@@flexjohnson18 Yes, forty pounds. Almost half the weight a US soldier carries into combat. Walks for miles through rugged terrain with and often fights with it on his back. Wilder had several fitting sessions and knew well ahead of time what it weighed. A smarter man would have insisted on lightening the thing. It did not get dumped on him at the last minute. He could have skipped the dumb costume all together and the fight would have been exactly the same. It was that bight right to the ear that stole his legs, not the costume. His legs were gone after the first knock down.

I'm not sure he will come back stronger, gonna take a long while for him to get his confidence back, he sees him self as a demigod and this will be very devastating to him, which is why he's lashing out and making crazy excuses.

Just proves how deluded wilder n his minions are, Breland is the most important part of his team most experienced anyway

[@ImperiumOfLuther]

RamblingBaba _ no one made him put that 40lbs costume on. He tried it on the day before and was happy with it. But all of his team should’ve told him you don’t want to wear that before you get in the ring. Especially if it really was going to have that much of an impact on his legs 😂 i swear he said he trains with a a 45lbs vest? I dont think the most experienced trainer in his corner should he fired. At this point though if i were him ide walk away. Ps this isnt an argument... i agree egomaniacs need to place blame on anyone that isnt themselves !

[@dbo4506]

RamblingBaba _ he literally trains with a 45 pound vest on. He was bragging about it on how rogan a year or two ago saying it trains with it all the time. So how all of a sudden it’s an issue to walk in it for 10mins. Gtfo!

[@matthewp2186]

@Harupert Beagleton You can't land a powerful right hand without your legs. The chances of Wilder landing a KO punch if it went on were probably 0.0001%, meanwhile he was at high risk of permanent injury. It would be stupid to let him fight.

[@mattjean2652]

I remember when Breland lost to Aaron Davis. He was getting a beating and his corner let it go too long and he was almost decapitated on national TV. Good job Mark Breland!!!

[@mattjean2652]

I want to correct my comment Apparently my memory betrayed me. Breland was not taking a beating like I thought I remembered. Davis was getting the beating and came back with a big punch to win by ko. I dont want to lead people to believe his corner dropped the ball on the stoppage. The punch that ko'd him came out of no where...the corner had nothing to do with it. I apologize for making it sound like the corner should have stopped it. The punch was the result of an incredible comeback by Davis. The corner could not have seen it coming. Again I apologize to Breland's corner. But Breland did the right thing for Wilder.

[@kennethferguson4031]

There's something so inspiring about the street kid who made it some how. I could listen to Teddy talk about life at any time of my day and I'm left feeling better in some fashion. All of his quotes go way beyond boxing and can just be applied to life, and I feel every second of them. "Sometime's you gotta fight with a bloody nose" apply it to life, it still works.
