I wouldn't pay for it I'll watch the replay but it's still an intriguing fight. As lame as Wilder's boxing skills are, as long as he's still on his feet he can land a hail mary.
I thought the Wlad fight while not impressive from a physical standpoint, was an impressive mental battle and a look into some of the deeper aspects of war. Took Wlad a dominant champ who was reigning for over a decade was completely mindfu<ked in the ring even tho the actual bout was a snoozer
Wlad was almost 40 years old...it really wasn't impressive at all performance-wise (does anyone actually watch that fight and ooh and ahh over Fury's goofy, awkward performance?). The Wlad of feven four years before would have knocked the bejesus out of him.
Wilder is very hungry for this fight in comparison to Fury. He has nothing left to lose. I have a gut feeling he will redeem himself in spectacular fashion
Ok, so why did the ref call for a break? Oh yeah, Fury was holding excessively. The root cause was holding.
The Wladimir Klitschko that was beating total knockover jobs like Leapai, Pianeta, Brock, Mormeck, Thompson et al?
Lol i preference it by saying the actual FIGHT was forgettable, but an even older 2 years out the ring Wlad almost knocked out Joshua so yeah the fact that Fury made him look like an old man when nobody in decades before or after did… was impressive the fight not so much
I agree, not watching it either. Already know who will win anyway, and don’t want to watch the same fight, or and over again.
This is a strange take, I don't really understand people who would not want to watch a fight between two of the top heavy weights currently? Particularly with probably the two most unhinged boxers currently..... It's guarenteed fireworks.
I might give it a watch, just to see Wilder go ballistic at the timekeeper and blame him for counting too loudly thus he couldn't hear his corners instructions whilst flat on his back!!
More interested in the Kownacki Helenius rematch in the undercard than this 3rd fight. ------ Wilder should have recovered mentally since the 2nd fight was 18-19 months ago. If they had fought after 4-6 months, Fury smashes him easily. We will see if Wilder has added anything to his arsenal, and/or can find a way to not allow Fury to press the action.
My view is that Wilder sticks to the gameplan early, but as soon as he cops a few hits - he's going to crack at the seems and will go quickly. I've put money on Fury KOing him within 6.
