    Title says it all. Fury was brilliant today especially in rounds 3, , 9, 10 etc. but he was also somewhat complacent and sloppy in the 4th round. He got caught not because Wilder did something extraordinary. He got caught because he got sloppy. He should have continued to jab Wilder and set him up for another powerful right.

    Overall, a good but somewhat sloppy performance at the same time. I don't think this version of Fury could beat Lennox Lewis or other recent all time greats. However, it was obviously good enough to beat a tough but limited slugger in Wilder.

    Fury needs to go back to being more elusive with his head movement, jabbing and moving more, and properly setting up his right hand. His right is a fantastic punch, and prior to Wilder 2, i didn't realize he packed so much power in his right.

    Agree. One mistake in the 4th made it more competitive and also proved how unbelievably dangerous wilder is.

    Fury is obviously done with fighting wilder and showed contempt towards him

    Fury good but Lewis would bring hell to Fury. Fury would be hard fight for Lewis though

    And Usyk is 2 levels above Wilder

    Usyk schools Fury

    Wilder would not say to Fury the better man won on the night when he went to his corner.
    Very sad this.

    Wilder would deal with the Joshua I saw two weeks ago.

    Narcissism is a mental health disorder. There by the grace.

    If Fury is allowed to lean on Usyk, he will wear Usyk down. Period.

    Fury is more confident moving forward than Joshua. Joshua was scared to move forward after getting clipped with Usyk's powerful left hands. Fury, however, will continue to press forward.

    Of course Usyk is the most skilled heavyweight in boxing. I am a fan of both Usyk and Fury. I do think there is a chance that Usyk decisions Fury but atm, i favour Fury to win.

    It was a great right hand by Wilder, he took it flush on the forehead. Fury's a great fighter and he showed he can take a punch and keep fighting. Gonna be hard for anybody in the division to beat Fury.

    Fury to big & beats Usyk he will lean on him like most heavyweights do,plus Fury is also very skilled.
    Fury would cut the ring away from Usyk.
