    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.
    Noticed that too, Ward looked awfully bumed out when Wilder went down lol

      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.

        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

          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.

            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.
