Moronic but predictable of Wilder to fire his coach and demand to go out on his shield. Completely shameful and inexcusable for the new coach to allow it. Wilder was out on his feet for the last 5 rounds.
Unlike the last fight, I have a feeling that most coaches would've allowed this one to go until the end. I'd have to rewatch it, but that was my feeling live.
Last fight, I think almost any coach would've thrown in the towel at or before it was thrown in.
Doesn't mean that Wilder wasn't getting his head bashed in. But Joshua was clearly concussed for a majority of the Ruiz fight, but no trainer would've thrown a towel in during that one for the first handful of rounds. Boxing, HW in particular with glancing blows and powerful jabs, can be brutal.
