Wilder's chin.

[champion4ever]

Fury is a fighter that gets TKO's by beating people to a pulp over many rounds with his skills.

Even Schwartz got up and had to be saved by the ref.

No Fury fan says he is a big puncher, but it's much worse taking multiple shots over many rounds..... that's why Wilder's team threw the towel in..... he would have kept fighting if he could have and even as a Fury fan, I respect Wilder for the chin and bravery he displayed, a true champion.

I agree. Everyone knew coming in that Fury was going to make it a very physical and rough fight by bullying Wilder with his superior weight and size and it worked. It helped wore Deontay down.

In all fairness, I believe that Wilder was more fatigued and tired than hurt by all the weight bullying and roughhousing tactics by Fury than Tyson's punches itself.

Fury would lean on the back of Wilder's neck every chance he got while sapping all of the energy and strength out of Deontay's body in the process. Tyson even got a point deduction because of it.

It doesn't matter though because Wilder faced a savage beating because he was willing and able too eat all of that shit just to land his equalizer. He is a soldier. The question you should be asking yourself is why couldn't Fury keep him down? It's because of combination of Wilder's balls and Fury's lack of punching power even after he outweighed Wilder by more than 40 pounds.

So does Anthony Joshua get credit too for taking all those punches from a boxer who outweighed him by 40 pounds??

Is AJ a soldier too?

It’s average, it’s still better than Joshuas. Wilder ate some solid shots from Ortiz, shots that would’ve probably dropped AJ. Fury hit him behind the ear, you can’t help that.

I am not sure if that punch landed behind Wilder's ear or head. I will have to go back and rewatch the replay again very closely.

In real time it looked like a slip. Wilder had lost his balance and Fury landed a punch on him as he was falling down. In any case, I believed that it was questionable knockdown at best but the referee missed it.

Fury did not use those tactics the first fight...... the leaning and other things is a part of boxing and I have been saying for years that Wilder has not fought any one that pressures him, and what would happen when he fought an elite fighter employing those tactics.

Fury pressured him last night and beat the shiat out of him...... Wilder just proved he can't take it.

No it was a legitimate knockdown because right after Wilder got up he was wobbly. He wouldn’t be dazed around the ring if it wasn’t a legit KD.

Fury is not a big puncher. Wladimir has no chin and he took a shellacking for 12. What does that say about wilder chin?

It's true Fury is not a big puncher but Wladimir took very little damage that night. One of the least violent fights in heavyweight championship history.

THe signs were out there that wilders chin wasn't good as he had been decked in amatuers and another pro fight that went lost that Indiana jones might struggle to find even.
So WIlder had kind of reinvented himself as a iron chin man somehow and people believed it. WIlder was laughing at josh being koed by ruiz, who at least is known as a hard puncher. Fury not so much, until now.

All I know is that he has a better chin than Joshua

Fuck no! Wilder was eating punches from the best P4P Heavyweight in the world. Where as Joshua ate punches from a handpicked, unranked, last minute replacement tomato can fighter with very little time to prepare.

Good chin, good recovery, great heart. He has proven all of this multiple times, all you gotta do is use your eyes, kids. Watch the fights. His chin was never the issue.
