Recently, Wilder’s trainer, Malik Scott, interacted with Blue Blood Sports TV. Here, he shed some light on this fight, alongside urging the critics to stop the backlash on Wilder.

He said, “The first knockdown wasn’t like how the other ones were. It was like; he must have gotten hit with something because he looked wobbly.”
“Stop trying to attack Deontay. Cut that sh*t out. The man just gave you a hard guts gory passion. Please give him a break for the first month. Back off with that sh*t. He didn’t say anyone cheated, and he didn’t say ‘He caught me off guard.'” (h/t Boxing Scene)
Wilder had immense pressure for this trilogy, as he had enough naysayers to prove a point to. That said, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ fought the fight he was supposed to, and he truly gave a career-best performance.
