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

[Lonelyguy247365]

I lost £20 on wilder. Put £10 on rd 6 @25/1 and £10 @9/1 between 4-6

wilder made a big mistake by employing Malik Scott as his trainer. He came in 20 lbs too heavy and no work was done with his footwork, defence and stamina. He had 16 months to train and create a game plan but it was like the 2nd fight. Not sure why wilder stopped throwing bodyshots after the 1st round.

He gassed from round 3 because Fury kept leaning his weight on him and took his energy from his legs,

The correct plan should have been jab and bodyshots. While fury came forward, **** him in the body to slow him down. Use the jab to measure his right hand.

Anyway, what’s done is done. Both fighters gave us fans a cracking fight. Hope Fury won’t run from Whyte now.

sanchez v The Nigerian guy ( can’t remember his name) put me to sleep.

Maybe a little premature, but I'm very intrigued as to who Fury will defend against, considering A.J and Usyk are contracted to fight in a rematch quite a while from now at least 6 months.

Fury IMO has just as unremarkable resume as Wilder, and A.J, for those who claim A.J hasn't fought anyone. Fury has Klitschko and Wilder x 2, Wilder has Ortiz x2 and maybe Stiverne.
A.J is the one who seems to take the biggest risks having fought Parker, Whyte, Povetkin, Ruiz Jr, Klitschko, and Usyk.

I would like to see Fury at least fight one 50/50 bout before he and A.J square off?

And what now for Wilder? I don't think his career is over, but all the belts are tied up and he's got some serious soul searching to do after reportedly working hard on his boxing and counter-punching in this camp.

I suppose Fury will have to fight Whyte while Joshua rematches Usyk. Wilder, in the meantime, can fight Ruiz but I have the feeling he will take a lighter fight like Helenius, Martin, etc. if he does not retire.

Where does Wilder go from here? Well, there are still fights out there for him, no shame in losing to the best heavyweight on the planet! Take a couple of confidence boosting fights, like a Charles Martin or someone like that, then maybe another good fight against Andy Ruiz.

fury on the other hand hopefully will fight the winner of Whyte vs Wallin, although I doubt anybody is excited about Fury vs Wallin 2 lol. While we wait to see the outcome of Usyk vs Joshua 2 and then we can hopefully see the big undisputed fight. But I don’t see anyone beating Fury to be honest, not Usyk, not Joshua, not Whyte….Fury is the man!

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!

You think he can’t KO joshua? You think he cant KO ruiz? Naaaaah you kidding yourself. Usyk probably has the best chance against him.

Max Kellerman is pretty polarizing but I really liked his closing statements for the night.

I feel for you a bit too man, you were pretty invested in this fight. No shame though, Wilder showed tremendous heart.

YoungManRumble, I thank you for your sympathetic words, I'm in a bad place right now. However, I find solace in the fact that the 'Bronze-Bomber' never quit, and reinforced the standard of heart and courage in boxing, that often is lacking in world-championship fights.

Deontay Wilder, is more of a champion that Tyson will ever be, he arrived at the elite level never taking shortcuts, like abusing steroids or fighting dirty and having crooked officials aid his ventures.

Deontay Wilder can rest in peace, he has integrity and honor ; Tyson Phooey, has gained the world but lost a piece of his soul in his evil acts, Tyson is a scumbag and thats how history will remember him, a cheat and a fraud, the simple believe that might makes right, no, this victory does not erase Tyson's misdeeds.

The [one] being unrighteous—let him be unrighteous still; and the ******—let him be ****** still. Enjoy your win you dirty degenerates.

BOMBSQUAD!!! TILL-THIS-DAY!!!

In the back half of the fight there was no game plan from the Wilder corner, just "God gave you an equalizer" or whatever. Malik might've told Wilder to keep at it at the body but he didn't do a convincing job.

can ko anybody..but look what happened when he FINALLY faced a top Hw in his prime. Wilder avoided the legit top 10 throughout his career.

[Red Power]

9 KDs in 3 fights - Fury 5, Wilder 4. Fury down twice, split draw. Wilder down twice, stopped standing. Wilder down, Fury down twice, Wilder down twice and out. What a trilogy. Thank you to both men.

[Slowhand]

Great fight. Both fighters looked (understandably) rusty and sloppy, Wilder was 20 lbs too heavy and Fury was simply fat.. but they more than made up for it with sheer fighting spirit. Thrillers like this are good for the sport and especially for the HW division.

He happened to face the best of them in fury. Joshua was getting beat up by a cruiserweight and a fatty. If you think joshua would have an easy time covering his chin against wilder for 12 rounds, then that says a lot about your Logic.

I’d love to break down a fight than just trade hateful banters towards a fighter. And you are just doing the latter.
