    I honestly believe I punch harder than that version of Fury, I'm not joking either.

    There is no way Wilder would be getting in the ring with the Fury that fought Wlad. Wilder thinks Fury is over the hill so sees it as a safe fight.

    Fury gassed in the 4th in his previous fight, I thought he might do the same tonight but he seemed fitter. In an ideal world he would take a few more fights and up his level of opponent.

    Fury is taking a risk, I was thinking Wilder might be a cash out fight for him but who has Wilder actually got? an old Ortiz?

    If Fury improves his fitness and tries to get in Wilders head before the fight, there is no reason why he wont clown him.

    Edit to add: Wilder looked like he **** his pants when he saw BJS as he came into the Arena when he was on his own, didnt make eye contact at first. It was very awkward to watch.

    Much improved from his last fight, however he still looks like he has 2-3 fights and another 6-9 months of hard work to go.

    He can beat wilder, just not this year.

    I don't know why he is rushing into the wilder fight.

    He never punched harder, he was knocking guys out due to exhaustion and accumulation, he was holding back
    against Pianeta to get all the rounds, it was always crystal clear that he won't knock Wilder out unless you overrated him which a lot of people did based on the reaction after his fight against Pianeta.

    Take into account his opponent was ranked around 140 in the World and went the distance....let's just think about that for a minute before we get to excited....

    I thought he looked fine, looked more intent on getting rounds in and trying out new things whilst looking in no trouble. Would rather he had a few more tuneups but if he feels he's ready then lets get it on.

    He looked like a man who had been inactive for a few years, and made no attempt to stay in shape during that time. Like a man who abused drugs and had mental problems.

    In other words, Tyson Fury looked like a shadow of his former self.

    Tyson Fury has become the kind of opponent Wilder likes to fight, like poor old faded Stiverne, poor shot Lyakhovich and poor shop-worn Arreola.

    There are some saying this is how he looks when he's in top form, and this is how he looked against Wlad. If this is true then to use a partial quote of Ken Shamrock Wilder is gonna windmill Fury into a living death.

    I cant believe people think Fury has a chance against Wilder after these two comeback fights. he looks so ponderous its painful to watch. If he doesn't get a few more fights in he is looking at an ugly KO defeat against Wilder.

    I agree, I can’t believe that he would take this fight now. He needs 2 fights at least against a Breazeale or Takam etc to get loads of rounds in then go for a big one. What the hell are they thinking? I think all this **** is happening because DAZN has put the **** up Showtime so they are fighting back. How many PPV view buys does it do in USA at $100 a pop? 250,000? Do not get it on any level. (I do think it will do decent, if not Hatton 4am numbers on PPV in UK)

    What I saw from Fury tonight was a mixed bag. Slightly more negative than positive. So first the positives- his hand speed is still good. Two his stamina is still really good for such a large man. He moved a lot in this fight and never tired.
    The bad - he can’t crack an egg. He never could punch but his punches totally lack steam now. He is easier to hit today he has lost a step from the version before the layoff.
    The fight was basically a sparring session as Pianeta was completely awful. Slow of hand and foot and virtually no punch output.
    At this point you would have to favor Wilder but Fury is always confident and a far more naturally smooth fighter and boxer. I just don’t know how much he has left at top level. His partying and issues have clearly diminished him beyond his age.

    My main takeaway was Fury is throwing tickling sticks.

    I predicted exactly what would happen in this fight and its aftermath:

    Good lord, could you Wilder nutsackhuggers not see that the guy was giving about 1/3 of what he has got in there?
