Nelly Terraces Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Great to wake up & hear Fury won this convincingly. To come from the depths of where he was only a few years ago to where he is now is an amazing achievement. Fair play to the fella. Plus it's always good to see a Brit flatten a gobby ceptic tank - especially on their own turf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gashauskis9 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Just watched it (recorded it). I don’t consider myself to be a huge boxing fan or know much about it, but that for me (by a distance) was probably the best performance you’ll ever see from a British boxer. Unreal. That was a master class. I remember (stupidly) wanting Wilder to win the first fight because Fury was getting on my tits, but massive respect due for that effort this morning. It’s actually quite frightening to imagine how good Fury could be if he stays in shape physically and mentally. Probably the most in-ring intelligent boxer we’ve ever produced.

Ray Gin Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Some performance by Fury. That ear injury clearly badly affected Wilder. I've had an inner ear infection before that was horrendous for my balance. I felt like I was on a boat sailing on choppy waters constantly and vomited frequently. If the ear damage Wilder had even caused 10% of the effect of what I experienced with the ear infection, he had absolutely no chance.

jack D and coke Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Quite an untidy fight though I thought. Fury just used his weight and bulk and really bullied Wilder.

Never thought fury had that type of bully boy fighting tactic in him. He horsed wilder around the ring like a ragdoll last night. Obviously didnt trust the judges to give him a decision this time. His comeback story is now complete. If he goes on to unify the belts then surely he goes down as one of the best british heavyweights of all time?

But who knows how much Wilder getting the burst ear drum knocked him off balance. He certainly looked a bit dazed at times and unsteady. Really hope he sorts a fight with AJ.

AlimOzturk Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Have rewatched it and the first couple of rounds Wilder was just typical Wilder. Losing the rounds but trying to tee fury up for that huge over hand right punch of his. The third is where it all went wrong, the knock down punch I am convinced was the one that perforated his ear drum. There is no way any boxer can fight on with that as his balance would have been absolutely ****ed. Would not count wilder out in the trilogy fight but it is more like a 80-20 split in Furys favour now. He has Wilders number. Think Wilder knew he wasnt a match for Fury going into this one. Would rather see Fury fight either Joshua, Ruiz, Usnk or Whyte before the Wilder trilogy TBH. Wilder needs to regain his confidence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 The more I think about heavyweight boxing the more I think it needs looked at and super heavy becoming a thing. I doubt the authorities would do it as it’s seen as the ultimate in terms of prestige but it’s becoming unfair as the fighters get bigger and a lot of potentially amazing fighters just unable to win a belt. It still starts at 14st 4lbs. Then look at the weight champions generally are nowadays. Someone at the lower limit would have been giving away over 5st to Fury last night. Great champions from the past like Tyson and Holyfield would have looking like middleweights next to these guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people think it's just a matter of time before heading is banned in football and against that background you can't imagine that a sport where knocking out your opponent is the main aim will survive long term.

Diadora Van Basten Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 It really was a masterclass by Fury. Wilder was done after the knock down but Fury was smart and used his body weight to drain Wilder when he tried to hold on then used his jab to keep Wilder from landing a big shot and dished out some big body shots. Wilder looked like he might have been able to Weather the storm and avoid the knock out but he was incapable of doing any attacking so was just a sitting duck.

I remember listening to a commentary with my old man when Rocky Marciano beat Don Cockell who was British Champion . Marciano was undefeated and considered the all time best alongside Joe Louis. The Broxton blocbuster was around 14 and a half stone and Joe Lours not much heavier. Almost cruiser weights in today’s equivalent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJGJ Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Fury v Wilder 3 to come it seems Deontay Wilder has blamed his elaborate ring-walk costume for his WBC heavyweight title defeat by Tyson Fury. The American, 34, said his costume was too heavy and as a result he "didn't have the legs" for the fight. Britain's Fury, 31, produced a dominant display to win the title in Las Vegas on Saturday when Wilder's corner threw in the towel in the seventh round. Wilder also told US media he will exercise his rematch clause for a third fight against Fury. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/boxing/51623455 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
