    Did anyone get the sense that

    if Fury pressed the issue and threw the over hand right again and again and again that he might’ve either put Wilder down or stopped him.

    He landed it and then stopped throwing it for some reason.

    As a fan you root for your guy, but the instance you see what the other guy can do...you start to see flaws.

    Wilder was open for the right hand. He’s still open for the right hand. This was the best I saw Fury throw the right hand, and Wilder felt it. Fury threw it again and then he just stopped.

    Wilder was tkod in the AMs by a guy who threw the right hand and kept throwing it. I think that he’s still open for it.

    Wilder sets traps by inviting the straight right, and maybe because of his length......nobody has been able to reach him.

    Fury reached him. He just didn’t throw it enough.

    yeah i think wilder was there to be stopped but he was too wary of his power. i predicted fury to knock him out in fact so he did worse than i expected

      I dunno I guess he was just confident he could see the punches and didn’t want to get greedy

      Can’t remember when it was. Maybe the 10th when Fury could have gone for it. But he’s probably still a bit circumspect about his own stamina at this stage.

      He only went 12 with Pianeta who wasn’t good enough to do anything to him really.

      Wilder is a superbly conditioned fighter he went all in himself a few times and recuperated. I don’t think a Fury having lost a 100 pounds would have that same luxury

        Both fighters looked tentative for much of the fight.

          Wilder is a risky guy to commit to a KO but I think had Fury stepped it up more he'd have gotten him out and would pick that in a re-match. Maybe he injured his hand? Maybe he had doubts about his stamina given his layoff and went with a more economical "sure thing" approach?

            Also think he was quite tired and weary of gassing out.

              I think he was smart to play it safe with Wilder's power

                The rematch is a fight where I don’t know who will win. Wilder may come in heavier. He may come forward more. Fury might jab a lot more and throw more punches.

                It hit me that Ward would stop Kov in the rematch. It hit me that Martinez would ko Williams in the rematch and that Williams would ko Quintana etc etc.

                With this possible rematch there are too many scenarios for me to pick a winner. It hasn’t hit me yet.

                  Agreed, Wilder was there for the taking but Fury was concerned by the power!!

                    i don't think wilder looked in too much trouble during the fight sure the power was enough to keep him honest he clinched a few times but i couldn't see a ko happening for fury at any point
