I’m saying it all day! In all 3 fights he led with the nut, used it a bit like Wlad used the clinch. If you do that and you’re stronger then you win. Fury came through a war last night but saying that Lewis would beat him isn’t rubbish. I can see why some would argue that Lewis would obliterate him too. I don’t agree with that but I’m not full of confidence on my perspective. If Wilder could find a home for that big right then it would be hard to escape Lewis. Lewis jab was insane and figuring out fighters and how to beat them was a big thing with him. I’m a Fury fan but I think people are getting carried away with things.
I think what Wilder said post fight is fair enough. This is coming from a man who made David Haye’s explanation for a loss look sensible.
The jabs to the stomach worked well for him and that’s what gave him the opportunity in the 4th. Fury just knew exactly how to wear him out. I think his management team were exactly right in making this fight. Where else would they have gone? One way or another he was a whisker away from winning both fights 1 and 3 against a far superior fighter... that’s not a mismatch.
If Fury were to unify then retire he got to the top of the mountain and then walked away. That’s ok and he’d have a great legacy but that will take at least a year I’d think. In that time there will likely be new challenges to the elite end of the status quo.
I don't think he's particularly a dirty fighter bit he led with the head towards the end of the fight, surprised it wasn't even mentioned
Still elements of excuses there!!
A deflated 'Bronze Bomber' has now broken his silence admitting his best just wasn't "good enough" on the night.
“I did my best, but it wasn’t good enough tonight. I’m not sure what happened," Wilder said post-fight. "I know that in training he did certain things, and I also knew that he didn’t come in at 277 pounds to be a ballet dancer. He came to lean on me, try to rough me up and he succeeded.”
Whyte would pose more danger than aj imo, he will go out all guns blazing regardless. Like whyte, no bull **** about him. Id be happy see fury beat usyk for all the belts then retire, whats the point in boxing on, his legacy will be well and truly cemented.
I watched the broadcast video but this ringside amateur video angle really shows more effectively how Fury was brutally teeing off on Wilder at the end
Fury actually knocks a slumped Wilder back upright at 9 seconds with an uppercut so that he can cue off on him to put him down at 11 seconds for the finish 😱
Or years even 😯
I reckon he probably would like to.Late spring is 6 months away
then again, he could take it eazy for months..
And new Lineal HW champion of the world!!😝😝
What makes you think Fury will fight again so soon?
Wilders body shots in the opening rounds hurt fury, I was suprised he didn't keep at it after the fourth round. Credit to both fighters, fury for coming back and wilder just wouldn't give in.
Brilliant night of boxing.
That’s the way it’s looking alright
If Whyte gets past Wallin we can expect Whyte/Fury late spring.
be some crack if Whyte got the job done!
Isn’t he fighting Whyte/wallin as mandatory ?
You don't think money talks?
I don't see Wilder retiring but it's anyone's guess what his management team do from here. They did him absolutely no favour making this third fight with Fury and their next moves will probably be just as stupid.
The best thing for Wilder would be to disavow everything he said after the second Fury fight as mind games and acknowledge Fury has his number.
Then he needs to go knock out a tier 2 guy like Andy Ruiz or Whyte and show he still belongs with the elite. Then go make another mega fight with AJ or Usyk.
I don't think that's what will happen but I do think that's what he should do.
Ruiz ever get a crack of the whip again?
Thanks.
If Johsua wants to fight Fury then he first has to avenge his defeat to Usyatk, it is not up to Fury to beat him before he fights Joshua, for me Fury beats both of them easily, he is by miles the best Heavyweight of his generation by a long shot..
Just current COVID restrictions. No direct flights from Britain.
Hard to look at any fighters from the past and see then going toe to toe with Fury over 12 rounds and coming out on top. He's that good.
How come there were no British fans? I'm sure, if I'm correct, there were many for the Canelo v Saunders fight?
Relax. It’s just a debate… folks been discussing era v era for years and years…
This is rubbish again.. You can only beat what is in front on you, talking about fighters from different generations beating each other is pointless, everything about the game of boxing is different today than it was 10 years ago, never mind 40 years ago, you seem to love Lewis, but a prime Foreman with the training a Lewis of the 90's has gets battered inside 3 rounds. As Tyson said in his presser after the fight, do not compare fighters from differnet era's just enjoy what they All brought to the sport........
I hope he doesn’t and I don’t think he will. Lots of big fights out there for him he’s still a big draw. Getting a title fight again now is a stretch though unless there’s a fragmentation somehow. If Fury were to obliterate aj and Usyk then the fact that wilder went 30 rounds with him would measure up quite well. He also came so close in both the first and third fights even if he was well beaten in the end.
on aj I’m not sure adding weight is the issue it’s that he has no confidence in his chin and he’s nervous which leads to him losing stamina, bit like price. He’s very lucky to have got to hold the belts after winning them cheap enough. Sanchez would be a big addition to his corner
Mm

Fantastic nights boxing.
I hope Wilder doesn't retire. Would love to see him vs Joshua.
AJ might be done but I'd like to see him switch trainer, preferably to Abel Sanchez. Sanchez will improve him anyways.
I think he needs to be bigger, the slimmed down version might have worked in Ruiz 2 but he's definitely better as a bigger guy.
This is why Usyk wouldn't stand a chance against Fury
