    Neither guy looked good in there tonight. Wilder was Wilder, sloppy and winging shots, and lucky for him, a few landed to put Fury down. Fury, well, I believe the reports that he didn't train much at all, because his reflexes and head movement were horrible. At the end of the night, his boxing experience won him the fight, although he could have been taken out himself. Yes, it was a great fight for all the drama and excitement, so I'm happy. But Wilder needs to contemplate a whole new training team or retirement, and Fury needs to reflect on his lack of discipline to train and stay in shape. Usyk would beat either man that fought tonight, and that's a crazy thought, seeing how big these boys are.

        Definitely not.

        Most of the fight wasn’t even competitive. Lots of leaning and holding.

        Wilder was running off fumes after 4 rounds

          Action wise, probably. The skill level was more unevenly distributed in this though. Wilder was pretty much a heavy bag that occasionally throws a speculative right hand.

            Wilder looked better than I thought he would and Fury no where near of what I think he can do but he does come in heavy for a war like this cause he doesn't want a box around the ring and another weird decision


            Obviously both fighters showed great heart a great war maybe top 5 heavyweight fights ive seen, but it was a bit sloppy, Fury could do much better than this

            No i dont think it was better than Wlad vs AJ, but i haven't seen it in a while,


            What a great war and it looks like theres a lot of casual hype over it, great for boxing

                No. Wlad vs AJ was genuinely competitive and swung back and forth throughout the course of the fight.

                Apart from the 1st round where Fury was taking a look at what Wilder was gonna do, and the 4th where he switched off and got hit with a big shot that led to the 2 knockdowns, Deontay took a bad beating. Worse than the 2nd fight.

                  Action-wise, yes.

                  The Klitschko fight was way too late in his career. The guy practically came out of retirement for a fight with Joshua and it showed. No matter how great of a boxer you are, your age really shows unless you're a Foreman and even his age showed. It's like Lewis-Tyson which wasn't competitive but both made good money from it. Mike was done at that point and so was Klitschko.

                    Wouldn’t say they’re really that comparable, both highly entertaining in different ways.

                    Would say Wilder vs Ortiz 1 was more like AJ vs Wlad.
