    Wilder just got absolutely clowned for 10 of 12 rounds by a Tyson Fury who needed more tune up fights after 3 years out of the ring, drug abuse, alchohol abuse, ballooning up to 400lbs+ and suffering from a mental breakdown.

    Wilder also landed clean shots on which Fury just shook off, even the big right and left hook that put Fury down didn’t keep him down. Into the bargain Fury got off the canvass twice and dominated the remainder of the rounds.

    Wilder clearly draws great confidence from his much vaunted power but the question always remained, “would that power be effective against better opponents” ?
    The answer clearly is no!

    Wilders perfect record has gone! Despite avoiding defeat he knows he got a corrupted decision, the expression on his face at the scorecards was not that of a man who thought he’d won but ended up with a draw.

    How does this effect his beleif going forward, he now knows that he doesn’t have the power to stop the real elite fighters!

    same way canelo did: with the happy thought that short of getting ko'd, he will win no matter what.

    He just needs a Joshua fight to make 10m+ then he'll retire. That's a good plan anyway.
