Fury getting complacent is the only thing I can see changing the outcome of this fight. There more than a small possibility that could happen.
5245789 posts before and after the fight that Wilder is a fraud bum cannot box cannot fight everybody in the top 200 can beat him........ It took the best man in the division to fire his team, change his fighting style, land the once in a life time fight ending shot behind the ear, legal btw no excuses and needed two tries to get it done while getting almost stopped with a less lenient Ref...... So the best heavy had to pull out all tricks to win against a "Bum" and a "Fraud"......... I can assure you that Tyson Fury takes Wilder a lot more serious then you clowns. Also, until the 3rd , there was no dominance form any fighter , it was fairly even..........yes fights are not won in two rounds except by KO but this was no blow out from the beginning. Most of you do not have a Fighters mind set.......in Wilders mind he was not stopped or counted out...he did not ask for the towel ......that guy half dead still thinks he can land his hay maker.......the chance that he gets hit on the ear again is slim to none........he took Fury best shots up and down without getting counted out........ If the foot would be on the other foot this board would scream and demand that Fury fights Wilder again ......... Options for Wilder? Big Tids Whyte......looked like shid first time off PED's.......stone old Povetkin who never delivered.....the Tame Samoan.....without a belt Hearns will not let AJ near Wilder......PED Miller.......Fury is the best option George Foreman was man handled similar by Ali and counted out......almost counted out against tough guy Lyle......clowned by Young......took him ten years to find God.........after his comeback become now is considered one of the best Heavies in the sport despite having one of the most padded record on his ledger Conclusion: Top Fighters with huge egos will come back from defeat. End of. Now, if Wilder lands a peach of a shot in the trilogy, Fury got ko'ed by a Fraud and a Bum.
Assuming the contract is sewn up tight in the ex champ's favour (which it ought to be), then he has no option but to enact the 3rd match / rematch clause. If Tyson decides to sit it out and take it to court, then both fighters are forced to become inactive for a period of time (a year I believe) till it's settled and no-one wants that. PBC have lost all of the heavyweight belts in 3 months and it's amazing to think that's happened. Of course Warren thinks the trilogy is bad, because there's nothing there, other than less money and the risk of giving back the only belt Tyson holds. As far as the 3rd match goes and as dominant as Tyson was last week, I would not be piling in at 4/11.
They've officially triggered the rubber match. Despite the great numbers for the rematch, I personally don't think the trilogy is an easy sell but what do I know. Finkel/Haymon obviously think it can do okay and they know more than me.
With all due respect, what difference does it make what numbers it does? Are you a fight fan or a accountant who gets paid off the Gross ? Hearns is not letting AJ near Fury anytime soon, gotta milk that cow some more. Punchbag Whyte ? Have you seen his last fight ? That fight only sells in the UK, dead in the US $$$ wise... Arum/Fury are US bound, thats where the money is so it is logical that they rematch Wilder. Has Fury made a statement i n regards to a third fight ?
It gets delivered to your door in the same way Fury was delivered to the ring for the rematch, it also weighs more than Wilder’s costume.
[QUOTE="Has Fury made a statement i n regards to a third fight ?[/QUOTE] He made quite a statement regarding a third fight throughout the 2nd fight !
It takes a lot of investment to put on Wilder/Fury with the fighters on different networks. That's why I mentioned the numbers. I'm a fight fan and I don't want to see Fury/Wilder 3 because I think it's a waste of a fighy for Fury, who will likely only fight twice more.
If I am fury I am making up some injury to delay the fight past July Otherwise its going to be mentally hard to go straight into another training camp for a guy you have just knocked out.
With Big John Fury in his ear, he will never be anything less than 100% focused again when he fights.
Fury's learned his lessons and has just two fights left in his head. Between John and Shane, surely he'll get preparations for both fights correct.
If we’ve got to have instalment 3, I want Wilder to come out Hagler/Hearns style for a three round fight. No point being patient when you have so little boxing ability. Go for broke, pray you land big or fail and go out on your shield like you wanted to this time.
