When is it a rabbit punch? And was it a rabbit punch (Fury Wilder II)?

I forgot hurt ankle and rabbit punches of course

The Wilder excuse checklist

Busted Hand
Sprained Fingers
Messed Wrist
Gimpy Elbow
Flu
Too Light
Too Heavy
Too Many Clothes

And too limited

I partly jest. I actually like Wilder, he's a gutsy guy. Though I wonder whether this defeat will change that as his whole shtick is based on confidence. Can't really do all the bomb squad stuff now can he?

Haha, there’ll be more.

Please don’t forgot Wilders ring entrance outfit was very heavy and fatiguing...

What a moron! One of the questions in the title is not specific to Wilder vs Fury: "When is it a rabbit punch". My question "What is a ref supposed to do when unintentional rabbit punch lands" is also not specific to that fight. But some idiots are so happy that the Brit won that they just post garbage in every thread.

It will make for interesting viewing.

Considering how limited he is skill wise, a big blow to his confidence will probably mean he's half the fighter he used to be the next time we see him.

Whether he ever gets back to form or not will depend on whether he's able to get past them first few hurdles of uncertainty in his first fight or two back.

I can almost guarantee he'll struggle to some degree in his next fight, no matter who they match him with. Because his mindset just won't be the same.

Aye, that's what I'm wondering too

Idiot, I have nothing to cry about. I don't like both guys.

Ya, you've been shook these last couple of days for sure. It's okay though bruh, happens to us all

This is what Wilder said, verbatim, in the ring immediately after the fight...

Wilder stated, “Things like this happen. The best man won tonight, but my corner threw in the towel and I was ready to go out on my shield. I had a lot of things going on heading into this fight. It is what it is, but I make no excuses tonight. I’m a warrior. He had a great performance and we will be back stronger.”

Wilder wasn't making any excuses. At least not at that critical moment, where everybody that attended the fight could easily hear.

Just by a number of idiots like you who surfaced up after the Fury win. Well, sh!t always finds ways to the surface.

Except there is an excuse in that statement.

There's also "the best man won tonight"

Simply admitting "Hey the guy is better than me, and he beat me" ain't the easiest thing to do even for the average guy. Let alone a Championship level athlete who's ego must be through the f*cking stratosphere.

What is this nonsense. That is NOT verbatim what he said, you editted out the bit where he made excuses about his leg being already weak coming in.

More excuses...

"Deontay Wilder blames weight of ring-walk costume for Tyson Fury loss"

‘He didn’t hurt me at all, but the simple fact is my uniform was way too heavy for me’

Deontay Wilder blamed the weight of his ring-walk costume for his world heavyweight defeat to Tyson Fury on Saturday night — and said he will sack the co-trainer who threw in the towel.

The American was clattered to a seventh-round defeat after an inspired performance by Fury, but claimed he was hindered by the 40lb outfit he wore in tribute to Black History Month.

Wilder told Yahoo Sports: “He didn’t hurt me at all, but the simple fact is my uniform was way too heavy for me.

“I didn’t have no legs from the beginning of the fight. In the third round, my legs were just shot all the way through.

“I was only able to put it on [for the first time] the night before but I didn’t think it was going to be that heavy. It weighed 40, 40-some pounds with the helmet and all the batteries.

“I wanted my tribute to be great for Black History Month. I wanted it to be good and I guess I put that before anything.”

Under the terms of their second meeting, Wilder is in a position to demand a third fight, which he has indicated he will do despite the conclusive nature of the Briton’s victory.

But he will not have former world champion Mark Breland in his corner after Breland was criticised for throwing in the towel during the seventh round, prompting the referee’s intervention.

Wilder, who confirmed he would remove Breland from his team, added: “I am upset with Mark for the simple fact that we’ve talked about this many times and it’s not emotional.

“I said as a warrior, as a champion, as a leader, as a ruler, I want to go out on my shield. If I’m talking about going in and killing a man, I respect the same way. I abide by the same principal of receiving.

“So I told my team to never, ever, no matter what it may look like, to never throw the towel in with me because I’m a special kind. I still had five rounds left. No matter what it looked like, I was still in the fight.”

Deontay Wilder’s excuses are pathetic! He’s blaming everyone and everything else for his loss rather than admitting that he was beaten by the better man!

He’s also become delusional, because now he’s claiming that Tyson Fury didn’t even hurt him!

I hope Wilder does face Fury again and suffers a real beatdown!

Eh I really think this is more pathetic than anything Wilder could ever say. Attacking him from behind a keyboard with an anonymous account and wishing someone else puts a beat down on him for a few self serving comments only a couple of days since his first ever professional defeat is laughable.

I don’t know much about autism but I don’t think it’s normal even for an autistic person to be displaying such anti social characteristics. You need help.

Wilder was on the receiving end of a beatdown last weekend when he was quite rightly stopped by Tyson Fury.

However, Deontay has provided several excuses for his loss (blaming his team, costume, leg fatigue etc.) and claims Tyson didn’t even hurt him and the fight shouldn’t have been stopped.

So for purely educational purposes, I feel Wilder needs to receive a reminder of what a beatdown means.

Lot of people have criticised Deontay Wilder’s actions, but you've not attacked them.

And you have criticised and attacked other fighters from behind a keyboard using an anonymous account!

And if my comments about hoping to see Wilder stopped by Fury again (which were posted in a boxing forum, discussing a sport where fighters get beaten up and knocked out) really are pathetic, then I’m clearly in good company, because didn’t you once write the following!

I hope Lemieux gets battered.

You must be a really pathetic individual, because you're also hypocritical!

Mic dropped!

my comments really are pathetic

Everyone knows it’s a free for all when it comes to David Lemieux, it’s practically written into the forum rules. Rather, I’m more concerned that you searched over a years worth of my posts.

[Enlightened-One]

my comments really are pathetic

You criticised me for hoping to see a fighter get battered, yet you’ve just openly admitted to doing precisely the same thing yourself.

And it only took a few seconds to find examples of your hypocrisy.

And you’re defending a man that passionately claims he wants to take the life of one of his opponents.

Do you not feel embarrassed about being exposed as a blatant hypocrite?

Rabbit punch is an intended blow to a back of a head.

Fury did no such stuff. Fury was throwing right hand, while Wilder was bending his head down. Furthermore, it even wasn't a shot to a back of Wilder's head. It landed either on the ear or right behind it. Even Wilder's ear was bleeding after that, how could it be so after a rabbit punch? He hit the ear.
