Here we go for the next 6 months listening to Wilder's excuses on why he lost. The funniest one I've heard is that Fury's team had people with laser pointers hitting Wilder's eyes right before punches to assist him. hahaha. Right, so they're invisible laser pointers right, and they go through the back of Wilder's head when his back is to them and don't affect Fury at all.

Can't take the loss.

Maybe he is like homer and has a natural brain helmet because holy shit to get up from those knockdowns.

What a fight that was...

Both fighters showed tremendous heart and a warrior spirit.

I think Deontay Wilder is a true warrior and stayed in the fight way longer than he should have and sometimes came out of the shadows with really inspiring stuff.
Fury's Cardio was insane as usual and it looks like he was getting better as the fight went on ! he was moving faster, making better decision, I have no idea how he does that.

Fury showed once again he is the best heavyweight in the world, He showed courage, listened well to his coach and adapted to his plan, and he never gave up.
I don't think there is any heavyweights that are good as these two were just then.

Sure we'll maybe get an unification fight but none of the other fighters showed what was just achieved in that ring.
Probably the best fight, I ever saw this year for sure.

I didnt see the first fight, but the second and third were similar in that Wilder cant get away from Fury doing his leaning and bearhugging thing where his giant ass 270 lb body drains energy from opponents who cant get away.

If Wilder tried a more stick and move plan, maybe they would work. But then again, his cardio loses steam fast compared to Fury, so that might not work either.

One thing that Wilder is predictable (and this is just from me watching his two Fury fights) is that he's got powerful punches, but predictable in that they seem to be from big swings he has room. In both fights, he has no inside game while Fury (tall gangly guy with giant wingspan) can still somehow punch in short hooks and uppercuts in tight quarters.

Wilder couldnt do that against Fury. I dont know if that's an overall thing with him, or just he couldnt do it against Fury.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

I read a comment on a youtube video saying that wilder's excuse is he was fatigued before the fight because of the L he had to carry

gonna have to wait a bit

I'm always ok with joshua getting beated.

 

[GymWolf]

That fight is going to be insane. They are both such talented boxers, it's really hard to call.

I'm really glad Fury is past Wilder now, but I can't deny they definitely produced some memorable bouts in their trilogy.

It's not gonna be easy for usyk, the different in size is even bigger than with joshua and fury is a much better boxer, i really don't see a path of victory for him...

I'm not even sure if usyk can even beat wilder since he can't lean on him like fury to drain his stamina.

 

[pesaddict]

WBC mandatory is Dillian whyte wouldn't mind seeing that

 

[acm2000]

wilder got absolutely shit mixed outside of round 4. if you look at both of them, you wouldnt pick Fury as the stamina king but those pies are packed with calories.

 

[MaestroMike]

I'm always ok with joshua getting beated.

joshua is gonna bulk up for the 2nd one and be chunky like tyson haha

joshua is gonna bulk up for the 2nd one and be chunky like tyson haha

First fight wasn't a size problem, he was already much bigger and stronger than usyk, so if this is his tactic, he is gonna lose again.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Wilder being classless post match

I'm glad this is out for people to digest. I wouldn't have believed it if I didnt hear it myself.

Respect for the fight but not for this.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Okay my last post may have gone ignored but damn it this is good shit right here

Yeah that's pretty insane, Everytime im like no way he gets up and he's like 'of course I'm ok' to the ref
