Wilder made some adjustments that made him more competitive than previously
But he had to get fury out of there to win ,
Fury is a big hearted warrior and he just ran him over like a truck in the end
Was a good fight
-
@dice yeah looked like Fury coulda gone in for the finishing punch several times but was wary of that right hand of Wilder.
Was a bloody good fight, at one point looked like it'd be over in 6 or 7 rounds, 2 bloody tough men out there!

@mn5 eh? he had a beard in the fight
Fucken hilarious.
I went round to the old mans place to watch and had already had a couple of brews….had a few more ( as you do ) then watched the ring entrances. In our steamed states as Wilder lost a ‘second’ time due to his corner throwing in the towel none of us realised that we were watching the second, not the third, fight!!!!
Hahahaha. Absolute drongos the lot of us.

Can't blame Wilder for being extremely disappointed and not showing grace at the end. His career is now basically over.
Time for Joshua to step up. See whose the real boss. I suspect it will be Fury.
He (AJ) has to get past Usyk first

AJ wouldn’t have lasted with either of those guys yesterday.
Stupid boxing politics etc meant that he could go on claiming being good when the two toughest guys battled their own championships out. -

Anyone else excited about Fury/Wider ?
I actually am, Fury is savvy and the most skilled unco bloke I’ve ever seen in any sport. But Wilder will ALWAYS be a punchers chance with that power he has. It’s gonna be intriguing.
I genuinely like both guys when I see them interviewed so whoever wins I won’t be too despondent.
Def excited. This fight has the potential to offer a lot.
And it offered a farken heap eh! Great watch and possibly the fight we all needed.
Hard not to like old Tyson Fury eh.

Joshua has activated his rematch clause with usyk , that will keep them busy for a few months , and rules out any potential fight for either with fury next ,
If Dillon Whyte beats wallin on October 30th , it’s looking almost certain the wbc will order tyson to fight him as his mandatory
Winner of that should fight the usyk v Joshua winner in a massive fight
-
@kiwiinmelb Can't stand Dillian Whyte but kinda want him to win as I would like to see him in against Fury. Wallin was very good against Fury but I don't really wanna see a rematch between the 2.
Will be the only time I support Whyte in a fight.

Extremely. Boxing needs characters to stay relevant and he is certainly that !

Boxing fitness is a funny thing, at the start of the fight, I wouldn't have pegged Fury as the one with better endurance, I guess getting the shit knocked out of one's face does affect stamina somewhat..

The build up in a fury v Whyte fight would be hilarious at least , both of them love a bit of sledging

Fury is somehow simultaneously humble and arrogant at the same time. He thanks God, pays tribute to Wilder but then mentions how he took the punches of the hardest hitting heavyweight in history ( off the top of my head I think Liston, Foreman, Marciano, Shavers and Baer hit harder but still ).
I’m also not sure how Wilders career is supposedly over ? Sure he’s lost but he fought amazingly well in the trilogy. I still think guys will continue to duck him because of the danger he poses.
