The Best Fury

[Rusty Tromboni]

I told all of you here after the Dec 2018 fight that the Tyson we saw was "the best Tyson Fury you will ever see".

I explained that the Fury that Wilder fought had been in the gym a year, had the benefit of 2 tune-ups (possibly vs tougher competition than he has fought since Deontay), and had over 2 months of prep time since losing weight was no longer an issue by August.

Some of you scoffed at my take.

I wonder what those of you who did so think now.

I wonder what those of you who denigrate Wilder's skill level and resume would say if it was Deontay in there last night, getting bloodied and going 12 rugged rounds with a guy not even in the top 45.

Takes all kinds I guess...

Please expain to me how Wallin fights anything like Wilder, or anyone else Fury's fought, other than Cunningham.

Please explain to me how Fury, notorious for becoming disinterested and unfocused, had any of the fire or motivation he'll have when he beats Wilder again.

Also, do you really think Fury wasn't sandbagging it that fight?

It's not like Wilder got better. Fury got lazy/tired/****y. When he got back up from the KO, though, he completely dominated Wilder. Sure, no knockdown, no standing TKO. But it was clear, when the lion had been roused, who the better man was. And he didn't need his defensive skills to prove it.

His own father knows that last night won't cut it.

If you are a fan of Tyson (and I am) you want better than this for him.
