    Like other poster said the 2nd shot was legal. Fury may have been falling but he didnt hit the canvas, aka, no knee touch or gloves.

    Lots of knockouts happen this way. Go rewatch Morrison vs Mercer. Dude was stood against the ropes knocked the **** out and Mercer kept swinging.

      You can't hold it against Wilder instincts just kick in. It's split second stuff. If he doesn't throw that second shot and Fury hadn't been going down from the first then he let's Fury off the hook in a world title fight.
      Thanks for answering about the first one.
      I don't hold it against him as I noted it was legal. And Fury doesn't either from the kiss. [Unless he doesn't know he got hit twice.]

        That fight you cite is def not the same. And the OP--me--said it was legal. That's not what I was asking about.

        The fight you mention was poor refereeing as Morrison was out and ref should have jumped in sooner. That could have been a redux of Benny Paret. Refs gotta be aware of when a KOed fighter is held up by the ropes and jump in asap. That's a whole nother kettle of fish. The somewhat analogous thing was Ali-Foreman ending.

          What I loved (someone posted a full gif after the fight, I will look for it) wilder looked surprised, then he smiled at Fury. I loved that. Was a smile like “good for you, let’s do this”

          Made me wish we still had 15 rounders!! That fight was just getting started!!

            Fury fan, no issues whatsoever with those shots.

              If we're talking about rules that were broken there was a fair few...but seeing as I don't have any love for Wilders people I'm going to point out these.

              1. You cannot hit with open glove, inside of glove, wrist or side of your hand.

              2. You cannot punch the back of head or neck.

              3. You cannot hold and punch your opponant at the same time.



              1.Most of Wilders punches are either with the inside of his glove or the wrist...especially when he's windmilling, but that never seems to be an issue.

              2.Well the first knockdown was back of the head...it's clear as day, so it should have been called no knockdown.

              3.I don't know if others have noticed but wilder will throw a jab but instead of it being a punch he turns it into a grab to pull the opponents guard down and throw in the right. He done it against Szpilika , Ortiz and now Fury...it's illegal but who cares about actually boxing right?.

                The KD was scary Wilder already doing his dance , but the fact that he got up and his legs weren't wobblying scared me. When the ref said walk to the corner/left and he did...I was like this guy is on drugs.

                      When I saw him go down, I said “**** it’s over, Wilder ****ing did it”

                      When he got up, I was blown away. It’s why I argue against home cooking. I’ve seen many “UK stoppages” in my life, and I don’t think anyone would have complained if the ref waited that off before Fury sat up.

                      But I’m glad it went the distance. These guys like and respect each other and that’s such a breath of fresh air in boxing.
