[pittapatta66]

I honestly thought Fury running out to the center of the ring was one of the coolest parts of the fight.

same, took me by surprise

Wilder has the same punchers chance he's always had.

He’s got to bring someone else into camp, he’s going to have to hit the road work hard, he’s going to have to move his head, he’s going to have to circle instead of moving straight back, and his punch output will have to be what it was during in his title winning affair and before

Definitely. I thought any extra weight Fury put on was not on purpose. The T-shirt at the weigh in I thought helped confirm that. Though I thought his arms looked maybe a bit beefier. His running up to Wilder, exactly like he said he would was definitely the most memorable moment of the fight like u said. So many times nobody follows their promoted game plan. Big punchers are most dangerous early, but Fury obviously learned something as he didn’t fight like he did the first time. Was definitely a moment that will be ingrained in boxing fans.

Of course, Wilder has a chance, very slim chance to win the third fight. He couldn't fight like the first time because of two reasons.

Firstly, Fury was out of shape in the first fight and Wilder had the confidence that he could win that fight but he didn't.

And secondly, Fury was in far better shape in their second bout and adopted a total deferent strategy by pressing forward, bullying, instead of boxing on the back foot, and Wilder, with his limited boxing abilities, couldn't handle this.

Therefore, for Wilder to win their third he needs to learn how to box from mid-range and inside. That will be a tall task at this stage of his career and his age. However, he still has a chance, not as big as in first fight though.

Facts. People saying “Wilder didn’t look the same” or “he didn’t fight like he did in the first fight, there must have been something wrong” are just desperately looking for an excuse as to why he got bullied.

Wilder definitely was not in the correct mind frame for sime reason , after Furys performance against Wallin which Tyson was lucky for that not to be stopped on cuts, I think Wilder under estimated him. Wilder will be improved but time will tell if thats going to be enough.

ZEST AND CONFIDENCE, clearly what definitely left Mike in Tokyo with that Douglas loss.

What a fighter he was in his prime.

You don't beat up Spinks, Berbick, and a "not so old" so easely if you are not on ATG level of fighting.

Without Glove-Gate, it'll be interesting to see who's the better man next time. The thought that Tyson is level's beyond Wilder is ridiculous. He's just way bigger which gives decisive advantages.

Other than his size which affords him good defensive distance (hard to hit), and extra slop, which affords the ability to take a better punch, he's just cumbersome and a dedicated cheat.

Naturally I'd favor Fury simply because of the size difference. But it's hard to disprove he's feather fisted when he's not tampering with his gloves. Especially considering his fight vs Wallin.

Exactly, people have been fooled by Wilder's ko rate and they didn't take the calibre of his past opponents in consideration. And Wilder himself believed in the myth of being unbeatable. If Ortiz was between 30 - 35 old he could have ko'ed Wilder twice.
