That was a great fight. Exactly what you want from a boxing match. It was like a thriller in some rounds as both fighters looked like they weren't going to make it and you didn't know what was going to happen next. People need to give Wilder his props as a boxer regardless of the shitty excuses he comes out with because like Fury said
I'm the best boxer on the planet but Wilder is the second best. There was a couple of times where Fury shook him and he was shaky on his legs lucky to remain vertical but Wilder was still throwing those bombs and a couple of them nearly took Fury out. Both fighters were saved by the bell a couple of times as well. Fight could have gone either way but Fury got the job done in the end. AJ wouldn't win a fight against either of them, though I'd still like to see it.
It's going to be interesting to see if Wilder just accepts defeat or comes out with more excuses. I'd actually like to see another fight between them at some point. I think Fury should go off and fight AJ, Usuk, Whyte, maybe Chisora again and then Wilder again. There's not really anyone that will challenge him like Wilder would.
This was an incredibly epic battle we witnessed.
That was one rubbish fight!Neither player could manage more than a simple ONE-TWO punch with Wilder just living up to his name swinging wildly with full arm's length swings that were never going to connect and were so badly telegraphed that it was obvious he was going to "stumble" at some point and the game would be over.
Fury likewise never really went in for the knockout choosing to stand back and let Wilder recover enough to keep going only for the players to then give each-other long hugs (which looked more like they were on a date rather than a fight!) Wilder was exhausted from about the third round, but when he got Fury on the mat early just let him get up and then did nothing more.
Both players need to do more than just a right-left one-two swing - they have no technique, no style and certainly no class.
You're a moron and don't know what you're talking about. Do you think fighters have infinite gas tanks or a reserve tank somewhere that they can magically get extra gas and power from for a Ko? Both were clearly exhausted at certain points and the 'hugging' they do is tactical. It gives them a breather and if you're leaning on someone the other fighter has to use a lot of energy just to keep both of them up. Sure, fans don't want to see it but it's easy to criticise world class fighters sat in your arm-chair at home when you're not the one getting repeatedly punched in the face.
