    I thought the actual fight itself has become a little overrated to be honest. But it was an intense fight through-out and had the drama of that last round. Plus a guy getting up from what looked like a certain KO. So, it got the buzz it deserved.

      I thought it was a compelling and exciting fight because the favorite was losing and needed a huge finish of he had any chance of winning. The last round elevated the fight imo.

        There wouldn't be 1/10 the interest in a rematch if Fury wasn't robbed. The fight was supposed to be Wilders big party to put him alongside Joshua, he cherry picked and it backfired.

          Not a great fight non-stop but entertaining with a good flow to it and one of the must see fights of the year. I wasn't born when Holmes got up from that Shavers shot but seeing a moment like that in our era was special and will talked about and replayed for decades to come.
