He said Deontay Wilder refused to learn how to jab correctly, because he was knocking all his opponents out. Mark Breland said the age old saying happened between him and Wilder, “a coach can only teach someone willing to learn”.
It’s get even deeper though. Mark Breland went on to say Deontay Wilder had no cut man in his corner, because he felt it wasn’t necessary. His mindset of invincibility kept him from seeing the importance having a cut man there when you take serious damage during a long boxing match. Mark Breland went on to say since there was no doctor in Wilder’s corner he had to make the assumption that the blood coming from his ear, and the fact he could barely stand on his own legs was due to a possible brain injury.
