It kept Fury at bay for 2 thirds of the round but Fury started tagging Wilder and hurting him in the last minute of round one while Wilder’s early body punching did nothing but keep Fury tentative, biding his time to attack. Once he found an opening in Wilder’s defence it was back to the same old beat down that happened in their second fight. Wilder abandoned done the body because Fury was still getting through with big shots.Comment

I'm not sure you can base how a whole fight is going to pan out based on what happens in the 1st round. Deontay brought something to the fight and Fury had a look and a feel out. The body jabs were a good idea on paper but only until the opponent figures out how best to counter it.
It's just all too basic from Wilder.Comment

The 'new Wilder' lasted less than two minutes. Fury stood back and studied what he was doing and by the end of the first round had him timed again.
All Fury had to do was figure his way inside the body jabs. Took him two minutes. Then he was again fighting at a range that Wilder simply can't fight at.Comment
