    I cant stand Wilder and Fury won the fight.

    But I must admit that Wilder did much better than many of us expected.

    Now he has proved to be a top tier fighter for real. I also lost alot of money today and it sucks.

    Fury ducked under the right swing in the same pattern thru the entire fight and I said to my friends that this would be dangerous because Wilder started to adjust his swings downstairs aiming for his head.

    Still I see the bout as 116-110 in favour of Fury. But yeah Wilder has now showed us chin and smarts in the ring.

    Still think that Fury will come back stronger and he is the favorite in a rematch scenario.

    Wilder lost but he is not by any means a hypejob in the eyes anymore.

    Credit to both fighters.

    Fury made the fight more difficult for himself . In hindsight will Wilder be 212 again ? I highly doubt it as now he played with fire twice at this weight of under 215 and almost losing both fights to Ortiz and Fury.

    I'm non partisan and I was quite shocked at how amateurish Wilder was in there. Seemed devoid of ideas. Great power though. Mythical

    This is the best criticism I've seen of DW on here. No bias, no bs just facts. I completely agree. Skill wise DW is very limited and really can't make adjustments and you can out think him in there. DW success is built on two things 1. His power which is the great equalizer and 2. His athleticism. His athletic ability covers up a lot of his flaws and his power covers the rest. He is a one trick pony but it is a very dangerous trick that has made him a world champion and one of the top two guys in the division. Could you imagine DW with that power and athleticism being able to box and move like Fury? He`d be the perfect hw specimen.

    Lol a fighter knocks down a guy twice and the other guy is only able to get to his feet with 1 second left in the count.. and you are mystified at how I could possibly have the KO artist winning the 2nd fight..

    On the flip side Wilder hit him with his best shots and his supposedly phenomenal power wasn't enough. If Wilder doesn't have the power to keep him down, how does he win?

    hurr hurr power hurr ko hurr

    After another full camp Fury will be even sharper. Wilder's so called "equaliser" couldn't keep Fury-at-60% down.

    The fight wasn't even close, Wilder got taken to bandcamp and missed the bus home.

    Is he better than expected? It's a stretch.

    We thought he was crap boxer, and only had power. It proved to be mostly true. Maybe 10% better than expected but not much.

    ...yet he still got up and then slapped Wilder about for the rest of the round. An inactive, not fully fit man, got up from a Wilder right hand in the 12th and continued to beat your boy up.

    Sorry bro you ain't fooling anyone.

    I agree. Wilder will just go for it earlier next time.

    He was walking down Fury numerous times.
