Comments Thread For: Hopkins: Wilder Beat Fury - Will Knock Him Out in Rematch!

[PunchyPotorff]

Jesus people are really piling on Wilder. The guy fought right to the final bell and knocked Fury down twice. Everybody knew he isn't a great technical boxer but they are now running around telling everyone who will listen that "Wilder got exposed." LoL..

Haven't read thru all the blogs on all boxing sites... but if you think Wilder wasn't exposed in this fight you're just kidding yourself. He was embarrassingly out-boxed for the vast majority of the fight, a fact you can't deny. Yes, he got 2 KDs, but the big picture is just how bad Fury made him look.

I believe if folks can go out on a limb and score "even" rounds, then scoring the 12th round 10-9 in favor of Wilder isn't such a stretch.

Never said it was the norm, but it does happen. And should've happened here. But, yes, like you said, boxing isn't a fair sport. No worries, I would guess Wilder will have even less answers for Fury in a rematch. Hopefully it happens sooner than later.

I ran into Chris Eubanks Sr. at a amateur event the day after the fight . He said he saw the fight the same way Hopkins does.

Hardly surprising. He doesn't get along with Fury & Saunders and they have said plenty about Eubank Sr. and Jr. in the past

I had Wilder getting at least a draw. I had him winning rounds 1, 9, 12, 5, and possibly 2. I don't think he made Wilder look any worse than he's been all along. Everybody knew he wings wild punches and doesn't have good footwork. How was he exposed? A guy is exposed when you think he has abilities he doesn't really have. Are you saying your surprised he missed a ton of punches against an elusive fighter?

Scared to bet like a true bytch. Wilder is undefeated pussie and still to this day has the WBC belt. I pulled your hoe card f@ggot.

You know what's up! All that crying Wilder put him on his ass twice and still holding the belt. Crazy a so called bum fighter did that to your boy.

Scared f@ggot to bet. If you felt confident you would. Your bytch made though f@ggot

Is that all you've got??? Surely you've got some tougher words than that? Give it your best shot, son, because you sound like a prized wimp.

Pretty much all the talking heads in the sport agree he was exposed.... except for Bernard and a couple others. And Wilder knows well now that he is very limited. Why do you think he's been such a blowhard since the fight with a different excuse every day for a couple weeks after the fight? Fury is an excellent boxer, and Wilder has a punch. And the rematch will be even worse for Wilder.

That's all I need f@ggot. You're scared to bet and put money up like a true bytch. I pulled your hoe card pussie end of story.

When you grow some nuts bet me. Checkmate f@ggot

Sorry bud I watched the fight matter of fact I paid for the fight I’m sure u caught the replay.

I paid for it too. Been paying for PPVs for the past 10 years now...what's your point?

[MeanestNiceGuy]

I'm a fan of Fury & Wilder.
Fury failed the drug test.
Why would I be bitter after such an epic battle between 2 warriors.
Maybe you misinterpreted the context of my post.
If Fury wins the rematch, I will be happy for his success.

Man listen....it's been 5 day since my last post and I must say...I'm not even pressed about it anymore.

Truth is, I'm man enough to admit when I'm wrong and/or out of line...this time being one of them.

From the way it looks, I did take your post out of context. No sweat, mate.

[MeanestNiceGuy]

fury won more rounds yes... but those 2 kds hurt him....

and all you did was give that last round, which IS a 10-8 for wilder, a 10-9 for wilder cuz fury got back up and fougth back? again you dksab

and I scored the fight a draw btw mainly cuz of the last kd... has furry not fallen he woulda won the fight on points easy

Listen, the YDKSAB comment does nothing for you, me, or anybody here.

I have an observation and opinion, so do you. Let's keep it that way without the "YDKSAB" just because I don't agree with you. That's not how a discussion works.

Again, Fury fought back in that final round and wasn't necessarily fighting to defend himself as though he was wounded prey...he gave Wilder something to think about when he fought back and forced Wilder to step off the gas.

To me, a 10-8 round is when a guy drops another and MAINTAINS control of the lead he created...or you happen to drop a guy and there's not enough time in the round for him to recover and/or fight back. Fury had a good 2 mins to make his point and he did. If you're in there getting counterpunched and walked down AFTER you drop a guy, then your 10-8 round is up for grabs as far as I'm concerned.

At the end of the day, we all witnessed a great fight and that's just that. Both guys can implement a better game plan in the rematch.

And scoring it a draw one second then saying the other guy (Fury) would've won "easily" is asinine. Either you're winning comfortably, edging your opponent, or facing a draw...that's pretty much it.

Hope this helps you.
