Marsellos Wilder has not had the same impact inside the boxing ring as his elder brother, the former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder has had.
The 32-year-old cruiserweight recently stepped inside the ring after a long spell of inactivity and suffered a humiliating defeat through the hands of Eric Abraham on Saturday night of 26th March in Florida.

Marsellos turned pro in 2018. This was the third loss of the former champion’s brother in his 8th battle. What was surprising about this loss was that it came against an opponent who had lost his last 9 fights. And to everyone’s surprise, the journeyman who was expected to lose turned the tables and won via split decision.
Online boxing editor for talkSports.com, Michael Benson reported it on Twitter. However, as soon as this update surfaced on social media platforms, fans started taking digs on Deontay Wilder‘s brother.
One fan wrote, “Jake Paul’s next opponent.”

Another fan made a sarcastic remark. In a hilarious tone, he added that something was wrong with the gloves of Marsellos’ opponent. Furthermore, he added that there is a need to perform an autopsy to find the actual reason behind the loss.
Man i always feel bad for these relatives of famous boxers, like not only are they losing but they also ruining the family name doing so. Must be like 10x more pressure.

Nah his opponents gloves were loaded with egg weights which left a dent in Marsellos’ head. We must perform an autopsy on him to determine why he lost.

This is a nice remark. This fan added something extra to the defeat of the former champion’s brother. According to this Twitter user, like Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder’s epic trilogy, their brothers should have also battled.
