He looked like he could of gone 15 roundsThat's the thing though... can Fury go 12 rounds without making a mistake? He didn't last time. Wilder really only needs one shot.
"Wilder cant box for shit, got easily outclassed and outscored almost every round last time and only got to keep his belts via crooked judges, so I'm gonna go for Wilder."
If Wilder wants to come back from this he definitely needs to change camp and focus on getting a few more cards in his pocket, his one dimensionality really was exposed.
It looks like Wilder's eardrums were ruptured towards the end of R2, maybe early R3. Once his corner saw the blood coming out of his ear they really should have started to consider stopping the fight. When they realised he didn't have his legs under him, they definitely should have stopped it. It also looked like they knew something was up with Wilder's jaw at the end of R6. Completely clueless on how to manage the damage as well.
Totally comprehensive by Fury, probably lost only 2 rounds over both fights so why would he even entertain a rematch? Unification fight has to happen now, but Joshua won't want it. He will lowball Fury with a derisory purse split and wreck any chance of it happening. Joshua will continue fighting nobodies and maintaining the image that he is an elite boxer, when in all truth he isn't. Got lucky beating an over the hill Klitschko, beat a joke of a champion in Martin and got shown up by a fat no hoper.
No chance he beats Fury and he knows it.
They confirmed on UK radio this morning that the rematch is for the loser (I.e. Wilder) to enforce if he wants it, with a 60/40 purse in favour of the winner.Totally comprehensive by Fury, probably lost only 2 rounds over both fights so why would he even entertain a rematch?

AJ is gonna kill both of them, Pulev already lost to Klitschko years ago & hes not any better today & Usyk isn't a proper heavyweight even though hes a very good fighter, it seems Hearn just wants to wait until Fury runs off into the WWE for that easy money.Lol nobodies. AJ has mandatory defences. He has to fight Pulev or he loses a belt. His then got Usyk as a Mando who was unified CW champion.
AJ has no easy ride in the next 12 months. Usuyk won't be easy at all.
Obviously a unification fight can replace a Mando but that's all on if Wilder doesn't activate his rematch clause.

He got exposed the last fight with Fury, Fury just lacked the power from his 3 year lay off in the first fight, yet even then Fury unofficially won that fight.Wilder got exposed big time. Great performance from Fury but boy Wilder really can't fight when someone is up close with him.
Fury very AJ would be different. Fury would fight at range as AJ can actually fight inside and has much more punch variety than Wilder.
I really hope there isn't a third fight as it's pointless now.
Wilder needs to take stock and try make some improvements.
Well impressed by Fury, especially after his last fight.
Well impressed by Wilder's shoulders too.
Him and Fury will knock AJ the fuck out.
This whole Wilder vs Fury episode should have taught everyone by now that styles make fights and that winning impressively vs one boxer doesnt automatically translate into winning the same way or even at all against another.Well impressed by Fury, especially after his last fight.
Well impressed by Wilder's shoulders too.

Wilder wouldn't last 4 rounds Vs AJ. AJ fights him on his chest he knocks wilder out probably with an uppercut.
AJ hits harder than Fury, Wilder would have been koed tonight if he was in there with AJ.Wilder wouldn't last 4 rounds Vs AJ. AJ fights him on his chest he knocks wilder out probably with an uppercut.
What do you mean? Fury weighed 400 lbs like 2 years ago. he a testament of great gym discipline.If I've only learned one thing from this fight is that my gym membership is going in the bin.
Ruiz and now Fury
Pie and chips for life.
This. I have been saying this for time. Their game plan seems to be for wilder to take hits to the head and hopefully land his right. Th haven't evolved his style at all and have took the approach of " if it's not broken, don't fix it", but this approach isn't going to work forever.Wilder needs a new trainer if he wants any more belts. The guy he has now doesn't bring anything.
I think AJ wants the fight in UK & he has said so, but his managing team is a different story, they don't want to risk losing that sweet dosh that Joshua's belt brings to the table.Hearn tweeted least night get the Fury fight done.
I don't know where this myth that AJ avoids fights comes from.
Whether one believes AJ wins those fights easily the point remains they are mandatory defences so he has to take those fights or lose the belts.
Wilder will still duck Joshua. If $100M didn't tempt the cowardice out of him then - there's no chance now because he ain't getting no where near that amount for any potential fight.
Wilder needs to fight Whtye who was his mandatory for over 900 days 😆
Though I can see him going for the grandpa on heart pills again if he doesn't take the Fury rematch.
Deontay is about to be a much more dangerous fighter if he takes the right lessons. He's still young.
He'll probably need a new trainer to balance out his natural talent. Find more tools to compliment his right hand. Wilder's corner looked shocked and didn't seem to have any advice for him as he was sitting there beaten up and spitting blood. Reminded me of Tyson's corner against Douglas.I don't see how you can feel ripped off by this fight. Fury exhausted him and seemingly out boxed him within his means. It's not like this was going to end in fury being knocked out of the ring. His game plan was on point. That weight was a weapon.
If you effectively neutralized the man and beat the hell out of him. That makes you rethink the miracle punch strategy.
Deontay is about to be a much more dangerous fighter if he takes the right lessons. He's still young.
One boxer fought with two hands while the other only brought his right hand to the fight... Every time Wilder threw a jab it looked sloppy and inaccurate compared to the stiff jabs that Fury were planting on him.
Fury looks like the best all round heavy-weight boxer right now, he has the technique, power and discipline to be aggressive and defensive when he needs to be.
I still think AJ is a far better technical boxer than Wilder, think if they fought in the amateur scene Wilder would really struggle, but AJ's more careful nature and lack of commitment to end fights hurts him in close matches.
its always satisfying when a racist assclown gets embarrassed in front of the world.Eardrum eardrum eardrum blah blah blah! The salt in Yank boxing fans is incredible. Wilder got thrown around the ring like the fraud ragdoll bitch he is, it was a complete domination, he should got back to fighting easy fights around the US for his paychecks. Fury absolutely schooled the shit out of him.
I think AJ wants the fight in UK & he has said so, but his managing team is a different story, they don't want to risk losing that sweet dosh that Joshua's belt brings to the table.
It stems from the fact that they offer massively low shares to the opposing fighters. They lowballed Wilder and that is why that fight never happened.I don't know where this myth that AJ avoids fights comes from.

I think people are overestimating Usyk's HW capabilities. I'd have to see him fight a gatekeeper like Chisora to get a better feeling for how he deals with heavy guys. AJ can go full Wladimir Klitschko and box very well from the distance. His chin is suspect to be fair, but I've yet to see any indication that Usyk can crack HW chins. I think someone with big power like Haye transitions better from CW to HW than Usyk, even if Usyk is the better CW.Mate, Fury had no issues with Wlad and he seriously got to AJ. AJ also had big trouble with Povetkin.
Usyk is very, very, very capable of beating AJ. Very capable. If you believe AJ is some sort of undisputed God you'd be dead wrong.

34I want to see Dubios vs AJ
Then Fury versus the winner.
Wilder Whyte would be a good one too.
He's 35 though.

Yeah his CW resume is excellent. But wait until he fights viable competition before you proclaim that he has a shot against a top 3 HW. The HW division is the strongest it's been since Lennox retired. Fury, AJ and Deontay are amazing, Whyte, Parker, Chisora, Ruiz Jr are pretty good and a huge stepping stone for anyone new to the division. People calling AJ or Deontay bums for losing matches are a joke.Not overestimating him at Heavyweight. But really he's so good size really won't be the barrier it would for other pure CW fighters. He's that good. He has a Lomachenko styled skill set that would defeat most. He's just had one of the most impressive string of fights a boxer has ever had in a division.
Lol AJ is not Fury. AJ has no heart, is flatfooted, and doesn't have Fury's lateral movement or head movement. Wilder would put him out.
I understand that the offer was 70-30 in Joshua's favour v Wilder. If you hold the key to unifying the belts are you really going to take what is essentially a sucker's share?Another myth.
Louis Ortiz turned down more money to fight AJ than he made Vs Wilder.
What we do know is Dazn offered Wilder $100 mil guarantee for 3 fights with one of those being AJ and he said no.
AJ never had huge problems Vs Povetkin. He had a couple rounds to figure him out but then broke him down with jabs to the body and slowed him down.
Lol AJ is not Fury. AJ has no heart, is flatfooted, and doesn't have Fury's lateral movement or head movement. Wilder would put him out.
Fury is way better than Joshua if he is off the drugs and trying.Lol AJ is not Fury. AJ has no heart, is flatfooted, and doesn't have Fury's lateral movement or head movement. Wilder would put him out.
People keep talking about the $100mill for 3 fights. Attractions don't take flat fees for fights. Both men in tonight's fight will clear over a piece $60mill with percentages you watch.
