    It was no way a great fight because that would involve two skilled guys this was just too big dudes swing for the fences with very little skill.

    but it was fun kinda like watching to skillless ufc fighters

      Drawn out war, 2 knockdowns each, and finished with a brutal KO.

      Yeah no idea either.

        A lot of back and forth action early on. The second half was lopsided but wilder showed a lot of heart, fighting on pure determination while he had nothing left.

          it was a all out WAR! What do people want in a boxing fight?
          Excitement but with skill is what makes a fight an all time great

            An 8-2 fight with the dominant fighter getting a stoppage in the 11th, is somehow great?

              There was a much better fight on the undercard.

                Both fighters hurt badly, both refuse to quit and show incredible steel in failing to give in to a guy they can't stand, both landing hard punches on one another with big swings in momentum either way, often in the same round, and either man looking like he had a chance to land a big shot and end the fight until Fury managed to land that huge shot and tie it all up with an emphatic knockout to put an end to one of the sport's most notable recent rivalries. If you can't appreciate a fight like that then you're not a real boxing fan.

                Of course, we all know that the quality of the fight has nothing to do with why you're pulling your face like a kid that's just dropped his ice cream. It's because Fury (and even to a lesser extent Wilder) has elevated himself once again in the esteem of the punditry and the fans, right after Joshua's just suffered another humbling defeat, and this is your sad attempt at damage control. Compare the steel both of those guys in eating huge shots, getting knocked down and getting back up again and refusing to give in to his rival, to Joshua wilting under Usyk's punches on the ropes in the 12th round a few weeks ago. Sad, sad, sad.
