Comments Thread For: Fury Overcomes Two Knockdowns, Drops Wilder Three Times For Knockout in Eleven

[Rigpig]

Two things.

First, Wilder was higher than his best performing weight which is around 220.

Second, Fury pulled a Grabomir Clinchko and just leaning on him. Fury is damn near a super heavyweight. All that weight constantly leaning on you wears you down especially when you don't have legs like Wilder doesn't.

After Fury got dropped, Wilder for some damn reason switched strategy and started to back up. When you back up against Tyson Fury, he jabs to get in and then clinches, roughing you up on the inside and Mora wasn't going to stop that. That wore Wilder down sooner than it should have.

But ultimately, Wilder's activity went down. I think he got a bit demoralized when Fury got up after the second knockdown and he couldn't get Fury out of there.

Wilder was spent in the second though before Fury really got a chance to lean on him. Either way him and his camp did a lot wrong on this one. Muscled up which muscle requires oxygen not to mention all the muscle he put on was upper body. He should strictly worked his legs he’s got chicken legs.

All hail to the gypsy king. I still think wilder beats all the other heavy weights though.

Watch out - “champion 4ever” and “1hourrun” are in suicide watch bc their hero Wacky Wilder got spanked again by a Fat Gypsy!! And still making excuses - long counts AGAIN! Forever in denial!

Fury either didn’t train much or not as good as people make him.
wilder did what he usually do, throw bombs and hope for landing it.

In the words of the immortal peenuss head, antonio "the ex-crack fiend" tarver, "you got any excuses tonight, deontay???"

Gotta give wilder credit: the guy’s a dog. He wasn’t joking when he said he wanted to go out dead or not at all. Proper ****ing hard man.

At the same time, I’m not sure what everyone’s smoking… the man has been outclassed by Fury 3 times now and still hasn’t actually beaten anyone decent. How on Earth are you guys still maintaining he’s “no.2” or whatever?

As good as the fight was. I think Wilder came in too emotional and tried to kill Fury with every punch in the first three rounds.

Tremendous showing. Not super skilled but a slugfest of giants is always entertaining.

He did, but he kind of needed to, he won the first, and needed to start off on a new footing and not let Fury come in with momentum from the last fight, it was his best option.

As you say he probably wasted a bit of nervous energy, it’s to be expected it’s the small things like that in boxing that make good to great, Fury is able to control his emotions and be more surgical, find the angles and adapt. He was even surprised by the first two rounds and had to find a new range by round 3, but once he found he could press Wilder back again, his only point of danger was if Wilder could set and throw back as he retreated, which he did twice, but it just wasn’t enough, Wilder is still not a good back foot boxer.

beat one legit top Hw in his entire career - the cuban senior citizen. Wilder well protected throughout his career..padded record full of cans. Fury wax not supposed to b a threat in 1st fight…Haymon underestimated Fury big time!

I don’t understand how Wilder gassed so quick. Second round he’s exhausted. He doesn’t have a day job. Being in shape is his job. You could tell he didn’t listen to his corner either he came out with a good gameplan in round one second round comes out swinging for the fences.

More muscle mass, more oxygen needed, faster energy depletion.. He wasted allot on those body shots in the first half of the fight, plus Fury leaning on him did not help either...

I wanted to see Wilder knocked out cold counted out... as he talked so much nonsense... but credit to the guy, hes got the warrior dog in him, he was out of it from round 3 but solidered on through heart, end of 2nd fight he said im a warrior and should let me go out on my shield... he proved exactly that he will fight till hes down and out. That being said, AJ is on neither of these guys level. Wilder would have landed and slept Joshua, and if a cruiserweight can make AJ legs do the dance, im sure as hell Fury would and most likely stop him. Joshua wont beat Usyk, so ultimately we are awaiting Usyk vs Fury. No ones knocking Fury out. He took the same right hand right on the temple that put Ortiz flat out. Great Fight, Fury wasnt in as good condition and shape as he was the 2nd fight but the dog in him found the win in spectacular ko fashion. Credit to both guys tonight they put on a hell of a entertaining fight.

Says something about you personally that you wish to see a man close to death may I ask what's your race? It's just for research purposes.

The better man won he's still a steroid cheat and a racist but sprinkle a little Jesus in there and all is forgotten.
