Malik Scott, Deontay Wilder's trainer, commented on his ward's defeat in his fight with Zhang Zhilei.
"This was a win I wanted more than any other because we had an incredible training camp. The thing that upset me the most was that Wilder was knocked out after the exact punch I taught him to avoid. And not only did we not win, but we didn't even come close to winning. It was very bad. It happens," said Scott in an interview with YouTube channel EsNews.
Recall, Wilder lost Zhilei by knockout in the fifth round.
