That was the best technical display of boxing I have ever seen, certainly in the heavyweight division. Wilder is a good fighter, but Fury did what the best Gypsies do; he stopped his opponent from using his own strengths. That is why the older flabbier Gypsies are often able to hold off the younger fitter ones. He trains to fight, not to look good, and he uses what he has perfectly.

Fury always seems to know what he is going to do before he gets in the ring and is smart enough to work out if it will be enough. Most importantly for me, because he is well planned he suffers much lower attrition in the ring than most fighters. From the way he bruised up after the fight, I do not think he takes many punches to the head in his training either.

On the second knock down (I thought the first was more of a slip) he was not ever out, but he was close and very dazed for a few seconds. The thing that was amazing was not that he got up, it was how he got up. His legs looked a tiny bit wobbly for about two seconds. Within 10 seconds he was back, feet planting no problem and his legs looking fine, like nothing had happened. That was pure Gypsy genes, a particular kind of robustness.

Also, the count was fine. Fury won the fight by miles, and Wilder knew it. It is unusual for a fighter to not raise their hands in victory even when it is an obvious loss, so I think he thought he was well behind and needing the knockout. Wilder was totally resigned to the loss at the bell.

I was never a fan of Fury, all I tended to see was a big unathletic out of shape slob.
I obviously wasn't watching or paying attention.
He opened my eyes against Wlad, fair enough it was a boring fight, but at the end of the fight I'm thinking, f***ing hell be actually handled Wlad with ease.
Watching that the other night how he moved, how light on his feet he was, how he evaded the shots, all after losing 10 stones in 12 months without a meaningful fight in 2 and a half years, fuckin astonishing.
 
Fantastic by Fury tbf. Rochin should be investigated for giving Wilder those first four rounds. Should be sacked if not for fixing then incompetency. Still think that Joshua wipes Wilder out within the distance. Fury? Different kettle of fish. Genuine pick em.

The more I think, I want AJ to smash wilder and then have a fight with fury
 
just watched it again(sober) and while i respect tyson for his effort, he didnt do enough IMO. a world class fighter with height and reach advantage, and a 44 pound weight advantage really should have destroyed Wilder, but he didnt really trouble him. fair enough he notched up the rounds, but he needed to take Wilders belt away from him with power, but he couldn,t beat him beyond doubt. Wilder wins re-match all day for me.

First 4 rounds slipped by and nothing really happened.

Disagree about the rematch though.
 
Terrible decision, but not the worst I’ve ever seen, truth is if Fury didn’t get floored twice he would have won, if Fury had any knock out power he would have won.
