Deontay Wilder vs Tyson Fury Rematch. Who you got?
- Thread starter DJwest
- Start date
yes, the loser has 30 days to ask for a rematch
next fight would be 60/40 purse split to whoever won tonight
Fury leaned on Wilder the entire fight which made Wilder alot more tired.
Fury perfect plan. But also that bust ear effectively ended the fight as soon as it happened.
Yup. I was expecting a straightforward 10-9 for Fury pretty much for 12 rounds because Fury is such a better boxer and then the drama of whether the vegas judges would do some skulduggery, but I wasn't expecting this total one-sided dismantling.
Fight was over with that ear shot. Wilder was never the more technical boxer, and was only ever going to win with power. Having his equilibrium rocked like that completely take away his power. Had absolutely no stance under him.
Good analysis from Lennox Lewis explaining the stoppage.
The ref was protecting Deontay.
The heavy weight strategy from Fury worked without a doubt. But Wilder had no new ideas from the last fight. He was beaten by an incredible boxer and Fury's reach and height and weight advantage was always going to be difficult to overcome.
Now, for all that is good and holy....
...we need to hope AJ defeats evil!
(Probably won't tho... :'( )

He got punched in the ear and his eardrum ruptured. Fight should've been done a round later.
Really close to the same punch that fucked up Joshua, except Joshua just looked completely lost afterwards. Wilder was still mentally in it, but just couldn't do shit about it because his legs were done.
The ear shot. Was bleeding from inside the ear. See you later balance with ear problems.
If Wilder begs for a rematch then Fury should demand a home soil fight in the UK to cement his legacy
Yeah, it was basically a handicap match from that point on. Probably would've been another good fight if that hadn't happened. Sucks.
They'll defo fill wembley for AJ vs Fury after that fight.
And Fury would clearly have to go in the absolute favourite to unify

I think Fury is undeniably #1 now. He arguably beat Wilder the 1st time and bodied him the 2nd time. Joshua lost shine after the embarassing loss to Ruiz, I think Joshua is #2 atm.
For the sake of good boxing, I hope him and Joshua hash out a deal to fight, all belts+lineal title on the line, unify the division

AJ won't take that fight.
Wilder would knock AJ out
Joshua is going to run and avoid. Dude got clocked by Ruiz. Fury is stronger, taller, longer reach, more technical, etc.
Had to be because of his height. 270 is kinda considered thin/fit for a 6'9 dude
How proud the Irish Traveller community has to be, to have the greatest HW in the world. Fury really showed out, so impressed.
I do too. He's a warrior and a standup guy. His corner saved him from himself though for sure. He got mauled.

It really felt like Fury and Wilder were both not even there. Wilder was not his usual self, and Fury was in complete control.
Seems it was just the perfect gameplan.

LMAO, the ref saved him. The corner should've stopped things much earlier but I get why they didn't
