The fight has been stopped as Wilder’s corner throws in the towel in round seven. Say it out loud: Tyson Fury is the new WBC heavyweight champion of the world!

@userr2684291 I could imagine lenition from [dɪd] to [dɪʔ̞] and finally to [dɪ] but the speaker wouldn't be speaking very clearly. I wouldn't expect to hear it, really.

I assume they meant /ɪ/ where they wrote /i/, but I think when they wrote "doesn't pronounce the second 'd'" that's most likely because they failed to hear [ʔ̞] as a phonetic realization of /d/.

That happens, for example, in AAVE.

Well, in AAVE it can become [ʔ] rather than [ʔ̞].

But I think you tend to hear [ʔ̞] between vowels.

I started taking L-methylfolate in addition to my escitalopram, and I felt better. It's quite interesting.

I can totally imagine that being said with some kind of glottal stop, mos def.
In more standard English, that'd just be considered lazy, although I can imagine it there too.
I had to pronounce it 50 times, though, until I arrived at that conclusion.
I think it's easier to apply a ... yod-coalescence sort of mush at the very beginning: Ju do that? with a rising (? question-like) intonation starting at the very beginning of the sentence. In Did you? I wouldn't do that.
Although, wait a minute, there we could remove the first /d/.
Maybe I just mishear it as "nothing" sometimes, and there's actually a realized /d/.
