Comments Thread For: Fury: F***ing Great Performance; Crowd Loved Every Minute!

[PBR Streetgang]

I don't think Fury was trying to get Pianetta out of there and I do think he was trying some things out in the ring. Im not sure how much he carried him however....I just don't think a stoppage was a priority whatsoever (his fight with Wilder was already signed). He looked rusty and I saw defensive lapses that a fighter more skilled or agressive than Pianetta could have taken advantage of. That's to be expected.

It sounds like Fury reached out to Wilder to make the fight. That tells me a few things; he sees things in Wilder's game that he can exploit and that he probably feels he needs a big fight to truly motivate him and keep on the proper path.

I also think it's interesting to see that there is mutual respect between Wilder and Fury. Even when the theatrics come out when they are together both men dont see to dislike each other. After the fight they we're both smiling when calling each other names and making bold proclamations, they didn't even pretend to take offense to any of the bravado thrown their way.

The crowd was BOOOOOOING because it looked like a fake ****ing fight. Pizzahairnet looked like he was pulling his punches.

Wilder ends this fight, an this come back, ugly. Then the crowd will cheer for sure.

Obviously a bunch of pissed up Irish are going to boo if they don't see a brutal KO. That's the problem with a lot of boxing 'fans' they can't appreciate the sweet science.

what do you know about Irish fans?

Do you think that was a good fight?

So why were they booing?

Probably booing p ianeta.
But fury won't want De ontay to see 12 rounds as he can put fury to sleep at any moment. But I wonder if Fury can get rid of ring rust by holding an opponent like pianetta?
Fury never puts people who ask for selfies to sleep. I'm sure pianeta got furys autograph after also.

Lol don't sink to the levels of the hipster rigo fans mate

When was Fury last in an exciting fight?

'hes too good to be in an exciting fight' right?

I saw a video of Fury going off on Radio Rahim for saying the fight wasn't exciting. Was pretty funny.

He also asked Fury his tactics for the Wilder and Fury was telling him he wouldn't tell him as he'd run back to Wilder with the info. Radio Rahim handled it well though, he's a good interviewer IMO.
