Fury and Wilder left it all in there tonight.
Fury is the best Heavyweight of this era no doubt.
Wilder also showed tremendous heart tonight, he arguably still beats any heavyweight not name Tyson Fury.

i agree. I’d still favor wilder over usyk, joshua and ruiz. I was wishing those would happen before this trilogy but oh well he went directly to the fire again.
Go back and watch the count. He took an extended pause in the middle of the count, completely out of cadence with the rest of the count. I understand that it's not a literal ten second clock. It was a bad count and both Andre Ward and Lennox Lewis pointed it out live.
Do you think Tyson wouldn't have gotten up for a faster count? He had his wits about him when he got up. Do you think he wouldn't have had them about him for a 2 second faster count or even a 3 second faster count?
When he goes down, he takes the count. Like... a smart fighter.
This. Bringing up the ten count after the fight is just sour grapes. Just like the first fight.
And Andre Ward bringing it up after the fight was him catering to people who don't understand the rules. But you could tell from his facial expressions during the knockdowns who he was cheering for. Giddy when Fury went down. Corpsing when Wilder went down.
Ward is as easy to read as anyone - anyone today who could challenge (in his mind) his place as the 'top' boxer, he likes to take shots against. Did it with Crawford, Canelo, Loma and now Fury.
The guy is a complete halfway crook, never liked him. Tough and smart fighter though. Overrated as hell but he was tough and smart

Fury was clear-eyed though and wasn't wobbly, and I'm pretty sure he got up as soon as the ref turned back to him after shooing Wilder to the correct corner. It was also a rabbit punch if we're being picky.

Noticed that too, Ward looked awfully bumed out when Wilder went down lol
Except, the ref has always controlled the count, they pick up the count from the time keeper, and count on their own. They don't have a stop watch, they aren't looking at a clock... Its literally the ref counting to 10. Always has been... you know through the entire history of the sport.
Tyson as you said probably could have gotten up early, but being the smart dude he is, he took the full count and collected himself.

I think Wilder is probably done, think Joshua is also probably done if he loses to Usyk again. Also not sure how long Fury sticks around if there aren't legitimate challenges. Think the HW division could look drastically different in 12 to 18 months. Wilder showed a lot of guts, I'm not sure how he stayed up for so long, he was a walking heavy bag for 6 rounds. Two brutal beatings in a row, this one extended significantly and with a real KO shot. Aura is gone, book is out and I'd imagine he will be incredibly faded from the last 2 fights. He'll still have the big right hand in the bag, but even that looked gone after about the 5th rd when he was out of gas. We shall see where Fury goes from here, Usyk would be an entirely different kind of test if that happens. Really hope Joshua gets some balls and switches up his team and style so we can still get an AJ/Fury fight at some point

Agreed.
Shame on any boxing fans that got so caught up in the politics of the sport that they didn’t tune in to see this.

Finally all these conspiracy can be put to bed. A great fight though and because Fury doesnt hit hard Wilder's chin looked amazing...... no but on a serious note Wilder showed so much heart.
I literally said I picked Fury to win and said he definitively knocked Wilder out in the eleventh. What else do you want?
I didn't say the bad count in the fourth cost Wilder the fight. I just said it was a bad count. If the count were on time, perhaps Fury gets up faster and the fight unfolds the same way. We'll never know.

Incredible fight.
I have a big issue with the count on the second knockdown of Fury in the fourth round, though. He was on the ground for a count of 11 by my count.
Of course, you can say that if the ref had counted faster then Fury may have gotten up faster. And Fury did definitively knock Wilder out in the 11th, so more power to him.
I just wish the ref had done his job. Count it properly and see if Fury gets up or not.
Still, all credit to Fury. I picked him to win and he did.

It was.
Nothing but respect for Wilder. Because he gave 150%. He was fighting on nothing but heart from the 6th round on.
As for Fury. That is THE best heavyweight in the world. Period. He can fight, he can box, he can dig deep, he could fight 15 if needed.
Absolute respect for both men.
