He was on the fight the first three rounds, although he was clearly losing the third round, the 1st and 2nd were pretty close and I have no problem with someone scoring the 2nd one for Wilder. He landed like three good right hands.
Unfortunately, third round he tries to avoid a punch and it hits him appearently on the back of his head. Such bad luck for him because it was a very heavy punch. Tyson didn't do anything wrong there. In fact, on the first fight, the first KD was also a punch to the back of the head of fury, and it wasn't wilder fault, tyson put his head in that position. **** happens.
Now seconds after that... he ate another big right hand and the fight was basically over.
If you pay attention to the first and second round, Wilder was moving strangely. Like one of his legs (left one maybe) wasn't working correctly.
And Tyson was a bit dirty there... how many headlocks? at first I thought the point deduction wasn't ok but then I rewatched the fight and it was ok.
Any way... the right man won but let's not disrespect Wilder like that.
I understand he got "lucky" with judges the first fight, and he was also protected in the seventh round against Ortiz in the first fight. But still, he's a clean fighter. He lost, but that's it.
I hope he recovers and does well again, before retiring.
Great post mate...
No shame in losing to the best HW in the world.
Full credit to Fury for his performance and no criticism to Wilder for his effort and the heart he showed.
