I had no dog in this fight, but after Fury's ring walk, WTF was that? I'm cheering for Wilder now. :lol:

This is a great fight. Both guys throwing bombs, neither backing down.

It’s crazy to me wilder has such an insane record. He’s really not that skilled.

Yep, just absolute **** lethal power.

This fight is insane. But Wilder looks like he might have long term damage. He has too much heart for his own good.

Wow, what a fight.

Wilder took way too punishment. Was never a fan of his, but damn. Dude has a lot of heart.

Fury Usyk please.

Wilder is tough, should've gone away way earlier. Hope hes alrite. Fury is just a beast and talented technically.

Fury is the best heavyweight since Lennox, easily too. So big and so skilled.

He outweighed Deontay by 41 pounds at the weigh in. That's a huge advantage that is compounded by him being the better boxer with an amazing chin. Ortiz was bigger and a better boxer(not to the extent Tyson Fury is), but he couldn't handle the power when Wilder connected.

Tyson presents a bad match up.

Impressed that Wilder was able to knock down Fury twice and made it a great fight, but Tyson's strategy worked like a charm even after that shaky 4th round. Really impressive fight that honestly should've been stopped by the doctor as Wilder looked out of it.

It really speaks volumes to how flawed Deontay is as a technical boxer due to the fact that he was able to use that right hand and occasional left hook to knock people out that he completely neglected to develop the fundamentals needed to adapt in the later rounds to conserve energy such as establishing a proper jab or using combo 1-2-3 punches. This inability killed him in the end as he just looked gassed and those punches that had power earlier was gone. Plus it didn't help that he kept on clinching with Fury who threw that extra 40lbs to lean on him resulting in him slowly being worn down.

Fury's ability to operate in the corners and tight quarters is damn impressive and quite frankly him switching trainers to get him more aggressive was amazing. His footwork, head movement and ability to develop angles and corners and create something that otherwise wouldn't be there is a match up nightmare. That's before adding to his goat personality who has the gift of gab and the ability to sing nicely.

I wish Wilder could've just admitted defeat and give Tyson his props but sadly he couldn't even do that. He got the $30M payday but it's most likely his last and hopefully he saves his money and doesn't end up like Tyson and Holyfield.

Too bad the British fans couldn't come due to the pandemic. Otherwise it'd be an absolute riot in a good way.

Fury would murder Usyk, Big Usyk fan but hes giving up a massive amount of size

I missed the fourth round and was very surprised when they talked about fury being knocked down twice in the fight. All I saw was wilder get beat up.

Who isn’t he a bad matchup for? He’s got to be the largest elite boxer ever right? Chin, cardio, speed, power, technique, heart, reach… and he’s capable of switching styles and fighting all types of matchups.

I dunno man, he’s a tough out for anyone. As more of an MMA guy than boxing, his clinch technique is so impressive.

Dupp · Post #2237 » by **Dupp** » Sun Oct 10, 2021 6:25 am

Wilders legs and foot work also seem completely erratic. I know he probably concussed and whatever but he looks like head walking on ice

Usyk would carve Fury up if he fought so recklessly against him

Wilder has heart and a monster right but no boxing skills

Usyk is a different level and wouldn’t back away with his hands down & chin up

He’s also every bit the psycho that Fury is plus he doesn’t speak English so you can’t mess with his head

He’s also not small

Fury is very smart & picked his target

Usyk is not a guy to be messed with and I won’t be surprised if they never fight

Fury will be targeting AJ not Usyk

Tyson legit has 10cm on him and 22 kilos, in what **** world is Usyk not small compared to Fury? Im a Usyk fan as well

What the **** are you talking about? Usyk was fighting at sub-200lbs a couple years ago. Tyson is 275.

Even if they were only 15lbs apart, Usyk would have trouble with Tyson's style.
