Where are all the people who thought Fury was a joke? The people who thought he was just cashing out? You just watched the best heavyweight in the last 3 decades.
Where’s Eddie Hearn’s apology to Fury. The sheer disrespect Hearn has shown to Fury throughout the build up after trying to sign him is a national disgrace. I want an apology from Hearn to Tyson.
The closer the fight got I knew he meant business. Really really hope he sticks with it. Let’s hope he’s never back in the US, don’t wanna see his hard work go to waste.
ill admit, before wlad i thought he was a joke. still think wlad would've won a rematch. but i called this one correctly. fury is legit.
I didn't doubt his skills but I did think this was too soon and that would come back to haunt him. I'll take my humble pie with ice cream please.
I had my doubts re Fury, however Fury put the doubts out there himself, jive and trash talking about him being ready to fight there and then any champion when nearly 400 pounds in weight etc. I for one want boxers to do their talking in the squared circle not on social media. Fury should now have the WBC belt in his posssession, but sadly for him and to the embarrassment of the sport he does not.
I didn't think for a second it was a cash out. I knew Fury was coming to win I just didn't think he could pull it off giving the circumstances regarding everything he's been through: the inactivity, alcoholism, drug abuse, mental illness, him not having fought anyone with a pulse in 3 years and looking like garbage in those 2 tune ups against scrubs. I thought it was a terrible idea to rush into a fight against any of the elite fighters in the division given everything he's been through and especially considering there was absolute zero need for him to do so as he could've easily waited another six months and had a couple more tune ups first to give himself the best possible chance of winning and had he done so there is absolute zero doubt that even those scumbag judges wouldn't have been able to rob him of victory.
Coming back after three years to win part of the heavyweight championship is a great achievement. Well done Fury. Joshua next.
Props to Fury I didn't think he was ready yet, but he proved me wrong and honestly I'm not that surprised. Fury is a class operator and has proved me wrong time and again for him to do it again is almost expected lol. He was schooling Wilder at times which I expected, Wilder is a terrible boxer but Fury showed more than the boxing skills we've come to expect from him, he showed crazy powers of recovery how he brushed off those two bombs in the 12th I'll never know.
For the last few years I was a big time Fury detracted. I called him nothing but a sideshow and he made me eat some serious crow. He is a very impressive talent for someone his size and coming off that layoff with all the issues he dealt with. I think he wins a rematch if he stays focused and in shape.
I never had any doubt that Fury was a highly skilled defensive boxer and very hard to hit, but I felt he taking this fight far too soon and should have had another year to get back into fighting form. I'll admit I under-estimated the man. I'll probably never like him personally becuase I think he's absolute tit but, you know, he kind of demands respect as a boxer whether you like him or not.
Just dropping in to say that it’s nice to see people giving props where it’s due, and also not being too proud to admit that this was a great performance, whether expected or otherwise. Respect to you all. Good stuff.
