Cannot see it lasting 4 rounds either way, gonna be explosive from the start

 

[beats1]

I wish I could unsee that

 

[midoshairband]

get down you dosser!

 

[midoshairband]

oh shit.

Incredible first five or six rounds. Fair play to wilder, he did better than I thought.

Cracker of a fight. Sometimes these kinda fights can let you down but from the off it was a great fight. A different fight than the Usyk AJ one. This was just hammer and tongs at each other

Incredible fight. Fair play to Wilder, staggered he lasted that long. No doubt Fury is the best heavyweight out there imo.

Respect to Wilder for staying on his feet for the last 5 rounds but he was legit out on his feet for them until he finally had enough. Surprising ref let it last as long as he did. Let Fury get the final nail. Systematic domination outside of round 4 where he was knocked down twice. But still. Cant say enough about Wilder. Incredible heart from him.

Also that was an incredible fight. One of the best in a while even as lopsided as it was. Well done, congratulations & thank you to both. That was so awesome. I couldnt keep my eyes open as the fight started but now I cant close them to go to sleep. What a fucking fight.

Schooled him again

great fight, great heart from both. i sort of like that there isn't hugging and mutual respect afterwards, at least we know the hatred wasn't just for the cameras.

Wilders a ****. No respect to a man who’s beat him 3 times. Average boxer with a massive right hand. Fury is an all time prize fighter though

I mean. 95-91 seems generous to me. At best, Wilder & Fury split rounds 1 & 5 IMO. Could easily have been 97-89 when it was stopped.

fury the best boxer ever,l?

Had it 96-90, Wilder won the 1st and had a 10-7 in the 4th

I am not a boxing purist but i do love big fights like that but watching Wilder i was thinking that he is actually a terrible boxer. Technically that is. No doubt he has a few hard punches, particularly the right hand, but he is proper shit technically.

It was clear that he needed to knock Fury out within five or six but after that he looked gassed. Im not sure how someone who can look that fit and powerful can be so gassed within the five or six rounds... Fury has a dad bod i mean what the fuck. All I can conclude is that Fury clearly boxes clever and conserves energy.

I still love Lennox Lewis. Perhaps out of sentiment but would love to see fury v Lennox in their prime etc. Fury is awesome.

 

[dontcallme]

Does this open the door for Joshua vs Wilder?

fury the best boxer ever,l?

Best ever is subjective.

IMO Fury is a great boxer but I wouldn't put him in the same tier as Ali or Sugar Ray Robinson just yet. Ali transcended the sport while Sugar Ray won something stupid like 126 fights in a row.

Is Fury the best British boxer ever? Again I would say great boxer but not the best. For me Lewis reaching the pinnacle of being undisputed gives him the edge.
