Only reason why Fury beat Wilder the second time was because he threw a Hail Mary looping (rabbit) punch on Wilder early. Wasn’t the same thereafter.

I watched this fight again yesterday. The first KD wasn't a rabbit punch. It lands directly on his ear as Wilder turned his head then bounces off his ear onto the back of his head making it seem like a foul. Despite all the faces Wilder makes protesting looking at Kenny Bayless like "I thought we paid you extra to protect me?!" -
Rubbish take
60% weight drained Fury coming off a fat camp schooled Wilder around the ring and got up twice
100% fully fighting fit Fury walked through Wilder in the rematch and took his soul AND Mojo.
Wilder's first knockdown was a rabbit punch, but if you turn your head or dip down that happens in boxing, nobody makes excuses.
Why are you making excuses for another man?
Jack Reiss being a professional began the count instead of waving it off & it turned out to be the correct call.
Nothing more can be said.
Fury setup his punches, turned Wilder to the ropes all night long. Turned Wilder to the ropes a full 180 degrees out of the clinch, trapped him and landed on him. Wilder had numerous rounds to recover but couldn't as Fury laid the heat on him from round 1. Wilder was already gassing and shook from round 1. He was shook before the fight even begun! pacing around in his locker room like a trapped rat.
& when Fury rolls through AJ all we'll hear is "how did Fury get power" hurr durr like a 6'8" 270 pound man can't punch.Last edited by miniq; 05-11-2021, 03:27 PM.Comment

What's with all the Fury bashing OP?
Canelo and Fury are on good terms from what I understand.

What do you mean, Fury handed Wilder into another dimension with a punch from Thor. It’s boxing. We’ve seen it many times. People forget a fight a is a fight. Play dirty if it gets dirty, protect yourself at all times.
im just saying Reiss could’ve stopped it. Would’ve changed the courseComment

People get ****** into cartoonish narratives about punching power. Only an ignoramus could think that Fury, who has a 68% KO ratio against 215+ lbs heavyweights, is a featherfist, let alone compared to many of the genuinely featherfisted champs of yesteryear. The figure of 68% actually underrates Fury's power further because he has very often boxed on the backfoot and been happy to win points decisions or go rounds to shake off ring rust rather than pushing the pace and looking for a finish, exposing himself to more risk in the process.
Fury was the only fighter to KO 210 lbs 2x cruiserweight world champion Steve Cunningham, retired the durable high-level journeymen Derek Chisora and Christian Hammer in their primes and knocked 231 lbs Wilder down four times (only two counted) before the 7th round stoppage. Conversely, AJ's power is overrated; not able to do any real damage to Parker over 12, Ruiz over 19 and got early hometown stoppages against Wlad and Takam. The fact that AJ was so fearful of engaging against a relatively light puncher like Parker also says a lot about AJ's confidence in his chin even back then, which was dented further when he was blasted onto the canvas four times in four rounds and stopped by Ruiz (who's gone the distance with nine of his last thirteen opponents, including a number of chinny journeymen). Fury punches harder than either Parker or Ruiz as well as being more skillful and a far greater physical presence, so the idea that he can't KO AJ is absurd.Comment
