Comments Thread For: Wilder: It's Only Right To Give Fury Rematch As Soon As Possible

[Marvlus Marv]

I fancied Deontay to take the rematch maybe later on but if he wants to go again then I tip my hat to the man. Trouble is, (if he keeps off the pies) Fury will only get sharper and slicker from here whereas Deontay looks like he might've hit his limit. I'll take Fury right now to skin him in a rematch, possibly even stop him late doors.

No, I do not think it did. I am fine with the thought of Fury winning. And I was in the crowd that said Fury was a name only, easy win for Wilder. I predicted a round 8 KO win for Wilder. But the fight is what it is: Fury came out, dealt with a set back in a knockdown, but was in control of the fight. Now, a lesser man would have wilted. Lesser boxers would have deflated. Wilder plain flat did not. He may only have a couple of tricks in his limited pony show, but he kept FIGHTING. He was rewarded with a gut check, completely exhausted, but still all in come from behind knockdown which was a whisker hair of ending the bigger, durable fighter who was winning. Wilder has given a ton of credit to Fury, and is willing to give him another shot when he does not have to. Just like when Ortiz was beating him around the ring, Wilder has shown championship pedigree in his ability to recover and go all in when challenged.

Fury's stock has risen, that is the bigger story here But that does not mean Wilder's stock has fallen.

I’m not a Wilder fan( well I am secretly) but what you wrote was spot on. Lesser fighters would be gun shy the amount of times he threw the right hand and missed. Yet he kept going. I have always stressed a great boxer beats a great puncher. It was a great fight nevertheless

He kind of has to really though, doesn't he? The majority of the boxing world are saying that Fury was robbed or words to that effect.

If Wilder didn't give Fury an immediate rematch then it would make Wilder look terrible publically.

Wilder needs Fury to accept a rematch so that Fury doesn't run off and get a fight with Joshua! A Fury v Joshua fight will do very well in the UK and reasonably well in US (I'm guessing). If Fury fights Joshua and wins, then Wilder will be back to square one trying to negotiate terms with someone who already beat him in all but the official result.

Wilder doesn’t have to do anything. That’s why rematch clauses only go to the champ. The reason people dispute decisions with the sanctioning body (like Fury’s camp did) is to get a rematch ordered. Lots of fighters would just take their belt and move on. Happens all the time, more often in lower weight classes where they can move up in weight to avoid it, but heavyweights can do it by just taking mandatories and ignoring the challenger.

And the fans would sit there with their fingers in their ears screaming “a side can do whatever! A side can do whatever!”

Hell, a more cowardly fighter would want Fury/AJ next so he can fight the winner instead of wanting to fight both.

So yes, I think wilder deserves a ton of credit for this.

Yes, you are right when it comes to contract terms but looking forward, if Fury fights Joshua instead, and Fury wins, Wilder is in no better position than he was pre-Fury and I do not think that a Fury v Wilder rematch will do half as well as it does early '19.

Credit, ok yeah, why not. I would bet that Finkel/Haymon have been whispering in his ear saying 'Get out in front of the media and be the nice guy'.

What he means is; "It's only right to publicly offer Fury a rematch (as long as it's on my turf again), to help coerce Eddie Hearn into offering me more money to fight Joshua in the UK. I ain't being the B side, away fighter unless I'm payed heftily for my troubles."

[Scary]

See that's why the fans like this man. He is fearless and he wants to test himself! Big up Deontay! BIG UP!

[Redd Foxx]

The soccer fans won't give him any respect for this.

Prediction proved correct.

[KTFOKING]

You must not be aware of the numbers a Fury fight of this level would bring to a stadium in England. Try to keep up. It's a very real scenario a UK rematch of these two.

Try to keep up? LOL, no trust me, I'm keeping up just fine.

[KTFOKING]

Wow did it do over 320k PPV buys? That’s pretty good. That’s a success in my eyes. I didn’t think it would even do 250

Yeah, according to Coppinger it did around that and again, that's not counting SHO app/streaming purchases.

[Removed Now]

The fact is Deontay Wilder nor any other heavy weight on this planet has the power to KO Tyson Fury. When I saw Tyson Fury splattered on the floor like a big gigantic dragon I knew in my heart of hearts that he was gonna get up. I couldn't imagine such a fine specimen of a man not to do otherwise. So Deontay is gonna have to learn how to box and I'm afraid he's not gonna have enough time.

Remember Deontay weight like 209 while fury was like 250-260. If he puts on more weight it could be the difference.
