We are saying fair play because we know how big a fan you are of Wilder. I must admit I am eating some humble pie regarding Deontay myself. He's shown me things in his last two fights that I didn't think he had. His power is legit, he has the heart of a lion, and he seems a likeable guy when he's not putting on that ridiculous bronze bomber persona.
I'm a Wilder fan and scored it 9-3 for Fury. I think the KDs make a draw not a *robbery* (i.e, you can't find the rounds for Wilder), but I do think it's giving him too much benefit of the doubt and thus a bad decision. At any rate, props to Fury for being professional, and here's hoping there's a big payday for both of them in the UK.
Pro-tip, you have to take the belt from the champ, not twitch your gloves, get KD'ed twice and expect a wide decision.
My best dream for the future right now is for Deontay Wilder to go ahead and beat Joshua. Beat that cowardly son of gun, and then Fury comes back - beats Wilder in a fair and square fight to take back what's rightfully his. I didn't want Fury to win even though I liked him better and is better impressed by his boxing skills, cause I really want somebody to knock that motherfukin Joshua back into the ground. Cowardly ducking chicken ****.
Even with the KD's it was enroute to be a wide decision. I take your point - Fury should have gone for the kill, though I suspect he knows he doesn't have that sort of power to finish a guy off.
Well i picked Gvozdyk to pick apart Stevenson & Fury to get robbed versus Wilder so im feeling great ellerbe
Have a day off mate. Sick of hearing all this 'have to take the belt from the champ' BS. For a stsrt he did take it, boxing is 12 rounds, he out boxed him over 12 rounds and lost a couple of rounds 10-8. That's all there is to it. Scoring a boxing match ain't rocket science.
I had the fight 8/4 Fury the two kd’s were nueralizers if you gave Wilder an extra round....hate to sound cliche here but it was an excellent HW fight both men sorta lived up to their respective hypes. Wilder with a 40lbs disadvantage showed he has shocking power and heart, Fury’s boxing skills are top notch for his size. I’m not mad but appreciative of the drama. Joshua has taken a back seat in my opinion.
I’d have a hard time saying any fighter “schooled” a guy who dropped twice. Did enough to win, sure. Saying he schooled Wilder discredits Wilder’s effort and mild success.
And had he not managed to comeback from the dead from that KD it would've all gone pear shaped for him. Even one more tune up would've guaranteed him victory. But the man is godly to do what he just did given everything he's been through and had to overcome and I have immense respect for him.
He made 3 mil tonight, probably way more in a hotly demanded rematch. Overall he picked the right time for the fight. In a sport all about the W it works out perfectly, Tyson still has the goal that pulled him out of his depression and he's a rich and richer man for it. Still haven't seen the fight, but I suspect having Deontay still in his crosshairs is no bad thing for Tyson. A draw was a blessing in disguise.
