Comments Thread For: Fury: Wilder Improved, Worked On His Boxing; Fight Was Much Different From First Two

[lion33lit]

The ref did ‘eventually’ let Fury be Fury: lean and grab all over again. But he was the best ref of the three by far. Wilder amateurishly kept lowering his head (coming in) giving Fury the perfect excuse to lower his armpit over the back of Wilders head/neck ……in one sense, why should Fury back up to accommodate his head - especially if he’s tired too?

Wilder almost got fury out of there within 5 rounds like malik scott predicted, just that wilder burnt so much energy and was anxious. If Wilder had been more surgical and composed, things would have been different.

Wilder was much better and the weight helped him until the mid way point when it became a burden,Tyson did well to put this one to bed

Round 5 was decisive, he was gassed after that, was only able to work in short bursts, he chased the KO in 5 and paid for it in 10 and 11.

How do you rate B-Hop? He was the master of dirty tactics aka Philly style boxing and he’s considered an ATG.
Two, when Fury and Usyk fight and Fury beats him up, will your sentiments about Fury change?

I've never watched a complete Bhop fight. If he fought like Fury I didn't miss much for my personal taste.

Fury won't beat up Usyk like he did Wilder. He's getting a knee to the groin if he uses those tactics on him. Usyk is every bit as crazy as Fury.
That's what Wilder should have done the first time Fury put him in the headlock.

Wilder has done well for himself with his skillset against a line of suspect opponents. I don't think beating him 3 times qualifies a fighter as great.

IF Fury beats Usyk(should Usyk win the Joshua rematch) and defends undisputed a couple of times,I would say he is a great for our era. Particularly if Joyce is one of the mandatories. I actually think Joyce is one of the few sleepers at heavyweight.
The problem is heavyweight is so weak overall it still wouldn't be that impressive. I'm not a Fury hater,just calling it as I personally see it. Obviously
a lot of other people see it from a different perspective,and that's fine too. Peace.

It was different because you couldn’t cheat again this time around. The REF was absolutely GREAT not allowing your patented Orca Lean, rabbit punching & grabbing to take center stage again.

Primarily, you weren’t allowed the use of your open palm compromised glove in this third encounter. Your nationalist Sweet Caroline intentionally blind fan girls will continue to worship at your PEDestal because it’s what they do…..But the fact remains: you’re a shameless cheat.

Congratulations, you arrogant sequoia, you won this one fair & square, but you didn’t give Wilder the chance in the 1st two meetings….you fake arrogant religious nut jobIt’s no wonder he didn’t acknowledge you at the end of the fight, he should have though, because you WILL reap what you sow - you get away with nothing. Regardless of how the guy who always tried to get it right - without cheating - feels.

As much as I like Fury and I think he's akmost unbeatable right now, I'd like to see him ve usyk since I doubt that the U-master will allow Fury to lean on him.

The man that fought him three times says this fight was different but some here say it was the same.

I think we all agree no one is gonna beat Fury right now (this exact point in time)- I really miss the mid 90s right now when the division was stocked - Tyson, Lennox, Mercer, Ruddock, Holyfield, Morrison, Bowe, etc etc. I mean who is Tyson gonna fight now that will actually make you want to fork out $100- Joyce? Usyk? Ortiz? Maybe I’m wrong- it’s just imo- I just think we saw something that was great and are in for some disappointment in the division for awhile

I respect your thoughts and I can’t really disagree, however, due to sheer size difference, I don’t think Usyk has a shot at beating Fury. The size difference is just too much. I think we’d be looking at a Haye-Wladimir scenario.
