Will this serve Wilder as a learning experience and improve him?

    I actually think he's already improved and that's the best version of him we've seen. His threw a couple of "windmills" and got caught plenty but in general his style was much tighter than usual and he didn't look like he would trip over his own feet.

    Watch his fights from only a couple years ago. The difference is dramatic. The guy really looked like some basketball player who laced up for a radio station charity event. He looks like a trained boxer now.

      Didn't Marco Antonio Barerra become a master boxer with a brilliant jab after more than 40 fights? It's improbable but not impossible

        I highly doubt it. However, I would like to see that happen. Always good to see guys improve, regardless of age or experience. If anything, I think Fury will be much improved in the future. I can honestly see him standing on top of the mountain when the smoke clears.

          Exposed in what manner? Has ever been viewed as a technically flawed fighter with outrageous power?

            Yeah. He has to learn to pace himself. He was very impatient and frustrated-yet he got two knockdowns and almost won by tko. He learned a lot. You have to fight boxers different. Last night he wasn't the boxer. Fury was.

              There is definitely a lot he could learn from last night. If he pays attention.

              He should also steal some of Fury's feints.

                He won't be able to learn to fight inside. He's too old. He should've paced himself better and went to the body more. Too much head hunting.

                  And being in against good foes should theoretically make you better. If you are an intelligent fighter and have an intelligent team around you.
                  Well, he pissed away the first 35 fights of his career fighting bums and this is what you get. He's 33 years old, had surgery on his biceps before and has had 40 fights. People need to stop the babying and mollycoddling with this guy, he's been given enough of a pass already.

                  And that's the thing. He's not an intelligent fighter and neither does he have an intelligent team around him.

                  He can't do it because the learning time has gone. As said above, people need to stop babying him, it's as though people want him to get a free ride to the top.

                  He's not Bud Crawford or someone as skilled who can make dramatic adjustments on the fly because he's just not that good.

                  Wilder is basically Pulev with power. Without the power, he'd be going life and death with Dillian Shyte

                    What a dumbass Joshua **** blowing response lmao.

                    He didn't piss anything away, he won those fights. Wilder has been given a pass? For what lmao.

                    And who's babying him?

                    He did make an adjustment yesterday which is why he got the knockdowns. Fury demonstrated that he was the better pure boxer. I thought that you knew that before the fight lmao.

                    And in case you forgot...the fight was a draw, and no amount of crying will change the decision.

                    And the Pulev and Whyte comment......that should get you banned for ******ity lol. And if I didn't have a **** then I wouldn't have kids lol...

                      I keep seeing people say he was exposed. Exposed how? He is exactly who we've always said he was. And he knocked Fury down twice ffs.
