    I think it was all done on auto pilot twenty,, none of it thought like hes making out..You don't think like that when out, your senses are recovering and he wouldn't be able probably remember what he was feeling..I love the man but I think theres Gypsy blag with his own version of the knocked down !

    You think, let's compare, there seems to be a find line between being said to be China chinned for just going down in the first place,

    Over the years there have been many examples of fighters going down heavyily spreadeagled looking unconscious then suddenly jumping up.
    I tend to think Fury wasn’t as hurt as it appeared.

    Going by the state of every other heavyweight that wilder has landed on like that, I'd say it wasn't worse than it looked. It was a savage couple of blows but Fury showed unbelievable powers of recovery, only to be swindled out the win

    They are both banging on about God bring involved lol....I don't believe in any of that fairy tale shite called religion.

    I also don't believe he waited and times it to perfection.

    I think he got hit, went down and got up as soon as he could and that's that.

    Well you’ve just killed the magic in this thread haha. In my head it was like a phoenix rising from the ashes, the perfect metaphor for his career...down and out, done and dusted, but wait...he’s climbed back up and he’s not only surviving he’s putting it on the proverbial dosser.

    You’re version is more factual though :)

    "Eddie Hearns said..." Fury rolled that punch

    now fanboys are saying Fury rolled that punch. You couldn't make it up.

    you couldn't make it up, but you just did. My observation was nothing to do with Hearn, the man hasn't got a clue :ciappa:
