He said, ”Wilder looked hypnotized before like in the ring, before the fight. And after two rounds, he couldn’t stand up, three rounds like again. And obviously, he went down after two or three rounds. He started the first round quite good working the body nice, but he looked petrified and exhausted before the fight even had even taken place.”
