    I didn't comment on the fight as a whole
    It was a back and forth fight
    Just didn't think it was a bad stoppage which is what I felt you were implying
    Do you think the stoppage was premature considering Wladimir had been wobbled and knocked down twice in the round already

    I've already addressed that. He didn't show signs of major damage, didn't take a knee or have his corner throw a towel.

    A bad stoppage? Not necessarily, but premature.

    You are saying it wasn't bad but was premature? Sounds a bit contradictory
    He didn't take a knee? He had just been knocked down twice

    He didn't show signs of major damage? Please define that.
    He was wobbled, and knocked down twice and then starting to take unanswered punches.

    What more exactly would you be wanting to see to make the finish not being premature or non controversial to you?
    Did you feel that he may have suddenly come back and turned the fight around at that point?

    I feel like I've already answered your question from my perspective and we've diverged from the original point;

    Fury's win over Wlad was better. He dominated him in his backyard and took his titles with zero damage to himself.

    Don't disagree that. I rate Fury's win as the higher win
    Never said anything to the contrary about that

    Tyson "Belly" Fury is still afraid to fight Anthony Joshua.

    The longer it takes to make the fight, the less interest from fans and so less money.

    Let's face it, even if they fought tomorrow would either of them get any credit?

    Still wasn't a British stoppage.

    ? Not really sure how that relates to my post.
