    Shirley Winkle got knocked to the ground amid all that commotion and he definitely hit the back of his head on the floor when he went down. He could've got serious hurt there as he's almost as old as Luis Ortiz's great-grandson.

    Wilder lost it & it's not good that Shirley Winkle got knocked down as said.

    It's panto time in Sunny LA,
    As Tyson takes on Deontay,
    The stakes are high and so is Fury,
    Keen to ensure he writes the story,
    Finkel and Di Bella stay tight lipped,
    They want him following their script,
    But gypsy King is far too bold,
    To let his actions be controlled,
    He wants to make the evening telly,
    So better watch your head there Shelley,

    Another brilliant press conference. Tyson just hijacks the presser, grabs the Mic and does his 30 minute stand up show. Brendan Schaub tried his best to stay unbiased but in the end, he might as well have got on his knees and kissed Tyson's feet. Brilliant the world is seeing the real Tyson Fury. He used to enjoy playing the pantomine villain but I knew he was always a great guy. He's finally showing that, and what a stage to show it. Live on American primetime tv. He's gonna be huge in the states. They interviewed Wilder for two minutes after, Tyson for ten and he said some great things about mental health.

    Wilder lost his s.h.i.t. for real at the end. Tyson got to him. Warren went down which was hilarious. Hopefully Franky didn't break a hip. Great exposure for the gypsy king as I say. Underappreciated in his own country, I think he'll be a big hit in the states. And before anyone bangs on about his style, look at Floyd Mayweather. If you can talk the talk in America and keep the wins coming, you'll be a success.

    Embarrassing fake crap, but nowadays that’s how you sell a fight, especially for the American public.

    AJ and Eddie must be laughing on this clowns

    The buildup is an absolute circus. There's already a bit of a buzz about this fight here in LA and I bought my tickets today.

    I do think Wilder's too dumb to know its all a laugh to Fury and Fury feels a little slighted that they think they cherry picked him.

    Wilder didn't expect this level of WWE antics but he should of, the Tyson Fury stand up show rolls into town every time he fights.

    If all they cared about was selling tickets for the fight, this would be believable.

    But they each probably want to, you know, actually win the fight. And mind games can genuinely work.

    Fury’s antics with Wlad probably truly helped him win the fight by demoralizing Wlad.

    Seems like Fury would of course want to try the same thing with all his opponents.

    This fight sold $1M in tickets in 25 minutes.

    So maybe they aren’t the clueless ones?

    For real? Where did you get that figure? I've been looking for trending names online hoping to see Fury or Wilder and was dissappointed not to see either one.

    This SHOULD be a huge fight, but you just never know with US PPV audience and I was concerned there wasn't enough casual coverage of their press conferences here in America at least.

    I’ve seen it all over Twitter. DiBella, I think, for one.

    They got like 20 minutes on ESPN this morning (or maybe it was yesterday, I forget) on First Take and I’ve seen more stuff about it than I did Canelo-GGG until the week of the fight. (Not saying it will do Canelo-GGG numbers, just that the press tour has gotten lots of coverage and buzz.)
