Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury Smiles: Not Bad For Someone With Pillow Fists!

[b Murphington]

Fury deserves respect for doing what he did but a lot of people are being fools in this thread. Wilder never looked right in the this fight. A loss is a loss but he is better fighter than this. It's like when people said it was over for AJ after he lost to Ruiz. When it was clear AJ fought terrible and looked gassed.

I agree. I suspect he had a bad camp. Something seemed very off to me. He wasn’t fighting the way he normally does. He looked competitive up until the first KD on the ear. I think it was a freak punch that while landed clean, obviously caused an injury to his ear that affected him.

His legs and balance were gone. Wilder was never known for great balance, so the punch that took out his equilibrium was very noticeable. Maybe the extra weight Fury put on tired Wilder out.

I suspect it was a bad camp, with a damaged equilibrium. I really do think that Wilder is better than that.

Boxing fans are too quick to write a boxer off after a bad performance. Just look at A.J. And let’s also remember, Fury was not only bigger in weight, but he had a reach advantage and is taller. Not many boxers are taller than Wilder, so he is not used to punches coming from up top. He almost always sees punches coming in from below.

It’s really a tough match up for Wilder. Fury, on top of being a very good boxer, is taller and bigger than Wilder.

The blueprint to beating Wilder is to make him fight off of the back foot, but you need the right tools to pull it off. You need a big size and strength advantage. Shorter and smaller boxers will have a hard time pulling that off.

This was the easiest fight in furys career. The ****** hype job has now been exposed for the limited pseudo boxer that he is. One-two in your tool box is does not make you a mechanic!!!

After being sick last time, now Wilder says he had a leg injury for this fight. So I would imagine he'll be crazy enough to go for the 3rd fight... thinking he still has a chance. Which will be more destructive to him than the other 2 were. Dad always told me to never go into boxing... "You'll be tipping your hat to telephone poles, son". That line will be Wilder in 20 years if he makes the foolish decision to go into the Fury Dungeon Of Destruction again.

Oh so black Americans can’t celebrate black history month?

Are you a very sensitive millennial?

Fighting stablemates for years cost Wilder. He has never really been exposed to HW outside PBC. Now, this is tragedy, so great!

[LoadedWraps]

Fair play that was a pasting !!!

Fury pillow fisted the shid out of him

Fury might have broken his jaw.

seemed like that method of soaking his hands made a difference, u could see from the first jab he landed that they were hard as hell

Wilder was expecting a fight with Fury punching and him punching back. However, looking at Foreman vs Ali, Ward vs Kovalez and Tyson vs Holyfield there are other ways to beat punchers. Leaning on them, hitting on the break, turning them around and roughing them up are other ways to get the job down in the ring. Backing a come forward fighter like Wilder was one way Fury took him out his game. Leaning on him a lot tired out Wilder a lot. Tying him up on the inside was another way. All Fury had to do was look at the previous fights mentioned to learn these tactics.

I think Wilder is a good fighter but he just met someone who had more in his arsenal than him and used old school tactics against him. Wilder should have worked Fury’s body more and stop head hunting. If he can’t make the proper adjustments then he will keep losing to Fury.

Wilder and his power so overrated!! KO’s 40 cans and Old slow Ortiz and all of sudden he the hardest punching hw of all time...?? Gtf outta here!! Any top hw of the past and present could knockout that list of bums! Weak of Bumsquad to make excuses afterwards....especially after claiming he was only 50% for the 1st fight!

[Chaos]

That, for sure, was a physically damaging fight for Wilder.

Besides, that kind of prolonged beating - rather than a one-punch knockout - is what destroys brain cells on the long term. My inkling is that Wilder will never be the same after this.

I remember Khan saying that after Canelo and everyone here laughing at it.
