Please. You fantasy boy couldn't do it before. What makes you think he is going to do it next time? Fury has now been though a much tougher fight against what objectively looks to be a much better opponet. Deontay can't match what happened in there tonight?
He clearly outboxed Fury for the first 6 rounds before he gassed and Fury wrestled him into exhaustion. I had Fury winning by 1 round. Hardly clear. Wallin had Fury out on his feet in the 12th but didnt have the energy to mount an attack. Prior to this fight, his toughest opponent ever was perennial losing journeyman Zumbano. With a solid 12 rounds now under his belt in a big fight, Wallin could win the rematch. He'd take on much tougher sparring and conditioning for the 2nd time round. Wallins style was a nightmare for Fury, even before he was cut, the Swede who hasnt fought a live body in his life was out boxing the so called King. Both Fury and Wilder dropped in my rankings tonight. There is a reason these pair have avoided genuine contenders most of their careers. Wallin showed hes a dangerous Southpaw to be reckoned with in the future. Id pick him in the rematch.
I love it how Fury tells people you can't underestimate these undefeated up and comers and gets **** for fighting apparent bums, then he's crap if they turn out to be tough/dangerous fighters, not bums, and give a good fight. Every good fighter was untested at some point, so some of these 'fought nobodies' are going to turn out to be good. This guy had good amateur and sparring experience and was a euro champ, it was obvious he had skills in there. Let's be real, the cut was big and early, which changed the entire fight and isn't a good indication of what would normally happen. Fury fought in Plan B mode, like the Cunningham fight, but Wallin was tougher to stop. Still won more rounds and landed more jabs and hurtful shots in total. Wallin scores around here are silly, Fury was beating this guy up for most of the second half. Wallin doesn't deserve a rematch because despite being tough and giving a good account boxing wise, he's a dirty piece of trash for reaching over and raking Fury's cut at the end of a round. It was a blatant scumbag move and no way should he be rewarded with a rematch after that disgrace.
116-112 to Fury was the correct score IMO. And yes, Wallin does definitely deserve a rematch. And more big name opponents. Parker / Ortiz / Chisora / Pulev / White / Takam level dudes.
Still number 1. Joshua faces the most consistently tough competition. Every champ deserves the benefit of the doubt. Joshua is number 1 unless Ruiz beats him again to prove hes top dog. It asks questions. Put it this way. Out of the 10 best contenders/heavyweights in the world, Joshua has fought half of them and Wilder and Fury haven't fought any of them except each other. If Wallin can do that to Fury who is notorious for his soft face/chin, what do you think guys like Whyte/Povetkin/ Hygovic/Uysk/Hunter/Ruiz with more sting, class and experience would do to him? If Wallin had a bit of experience in tough hard fights against a couple of fringe contenders before tonight, he would have beat Fury. He performed admirably regarding he was taking such a huge step up in competition. Have to remember his toughest opponent was Raphael Zumbano before tonight. Fury was the first live body Wallin had ever faced and he almost won. It's interesting to note that both Fury and Wilder severely struggle against Southpaws whereas Joshua mopped the floor with Chuckles.
Does fury go off the rails after tonight....that could damage his ego enough to reach for the lager and booger sugar
