Had it about the same

It was a boxing clinic.... Made Wilder look amateurish big time.

A lot of wise words in that article by Cooney. You'll walk away learning something new if not a new perspective on things you know today, boxing wise. Certainly doesn't happen for me every day anymore, was refreshing.

Great read.

Fury is definitely like a real life Rocky story.

Cooney was baffled by Larry Holmes but somehow the referees had the fight much closer than I had it. Cooney was the aggressive puncher and was out boxed. Two of the judges had it 115-113, the only difference was that Conney was the one dropped a couple times.

[True That]

Yup, I agree with you Cooney 100%

[SinderellaMan]

Spot on by the legendary Sir Cooney

[aboutfkntime]

that is exactly how I saw it..... King Fury, the real-life Rocky

however I totally disagree with the AJ fans who have taken the opportunity to dismiss Wilder LMAO

Wilder dropped Fury TWICE, and a lesser man would not have climbed off the canvas in the 12th

is AJ a lesser man than Fury..... ?

he is pretty tough, but he has been rocked/dropped before

not sure

but he is certainly not as slick as the gypsy king

I am sure Wilder will land that same punch eventually

so are Team Joshua, which is why they avoided that fight

1000% agree with Cooney. What do they work on in the Wilder camp. He needs a real trainer in his camp. He is so deficient. All he has going for him is his power and natural athleticism. But you need sound fundamentals in boxing to be a great champion long term. With his stature he should have a good jab like Holmes and with his power, a body attack like Holyfield. A remember Foreman saying, when your a powerful guy, a stiff jab to the body hurts you over the course of the fight, especially when your opponent isn’t in the best shape down there.
