‘F***ing fight me’: Aussie’s brutal mid-fight spray; calls out champ to ‘clear his conscience’
Wilson’s trainer Ben Harrington agreed, adding: “The bloke was so negative.
“He didn’t want to engage, didn’t want to … well, I don’t really want to say it, but didn’t want to win.“We have a rule in our gym that it’s OK to lose, so long as you’re trying to win.Harrington added the way Alanis fought prevented Wilson from earning the convincing win he sought.“You just lock those ear muffs in and move around, and that’s what he did.
“We’d heard him say on Fox Sports how he thought Liam faded after five rounds, and thought ‘OK, maybe he will look to come on late’.Wilson won – but couldn’t get the big finish he wanted. Picture: No Limit / Gregg Porteous“I could hear my coaches speaking to me and really listened to them right throughout the fight,” he continued.
“Because while I wanted to win, and win in good fashion, it’s hard to do that when your opponent is on the back foot and fighting like that.“We didn’t prepare for that sort of fight – it really came out of the blue — so while it was frustrating, I had to box smart.“And being at the top end, wanting to fight for world titles, I was due for that.”The win now moves Wilson back up to No.5 in the world.
“And I want that Navarrete rematch,” he said, pointing to the Mexican who he knocked down, and effectively out back in February – only to be robbed of a world title by a staggering 10 count which went for 28 seconds.“Give me a fight with proper officials, proper rulings and then if he still wins, OK, he’s the better man.“After this win, I’ll go to number five in the world and rematches aren’t always easy to get. I understand that.
