10/9 ESPN & FOX PBC PPV: Deontay Wilder Vs Tyson Fury III (WBC Heavyweight Title)

[lib123]

Being lighter weight means a bigger fighter holding/leaning on you will just tire you out that much faster; it's a big reason why the first fight ended 4 rounds earlier than this one did. Fury just has the ability to eat punches and get up from knockdowns that 99.9% of human beings on earth would be rendered comatose from. At 35 years old there's no magical technical evolution or physical transformation either way that would be feasible for Wilder to make at this point in his career that would've made a real difference.

Understood but didn’t seem like Wilder was effectively taking advantage of his lighter weight to move around more. Fury wears down Wilder by leaning on him and gets mini-rests while doing so. Maybe Wilder would’ve been better off constantly moving, making it harder for Fury to lean on him and using his reach to go for knockouts instead of trying to win rounds.

Seems like Wilder fights to Fury’s strengths.

Really the only rounds Wilder definitively won were the rounds he managed to knock Fury down. Every other round was Fury giving a boxing lesson. All Wilder has is power.

but everyone knew that though. Wilder's plan wasnt to win on points.

Idk what yall were expecting. He was never going to outbox Fury or even attempt to, hes not that guy. It was either end him with the right hand or die trying. Its his only chance at victory. It nearly worked but it didnt.

What was the wager

Too explicit to say..

 

[4-Rin]

For me
1. Fury
Gap
2. Wilder
3. Usyk
4. Whyte
5. Joshua
Same for 6-10.

No one in the HW division can beat Fury. Wilder is the best remaining. Usyk will struggle with Wilder power, athleticism, and length. Joshua could have maybe 4-5 years ago but he's looking like a shell of himself of late. He doesn't have the extreme confidence anymore. 4-5 years ago, Joshua was looking like a ATG candidate. Not no more.

I can't put Chisora above Joyce but I agree with your top 5.

 

[Methodical]

he looked like shyt

and Wilder not?

Fury's boxing skills and IQ>>>>>>>Wilder's boxing skills and IQ

 

[#1 pick]

This shyt wasn't no masterclass. It was a grueling fight between two guys who got a shyt load of heart. Fury's defense was trash. Wilders was just worse. Fury's gameplan was just to bumrush Wilder and wear him out. And it worked in the end but I didn't see any elite boxing tonight from fury. In fact he looked out of shape and riped for the taking. Wouldn't be surprised at all to see usyk give him a boxing lesson.

Lol, you get hit by Wilder. He adjusted to body shots, stuck with a gameplan, understood when it was time to hug, bear down and realized the improvement Wilder made to his gameplan. Ya'll sound silly. This ain't a Floyd match. These nikkas can kill you with their hands even as a professional with one shot. For a HW fight, was a masterclass for Fury.

damn you must have saw a completely different fight than the one I did…

maybe I was watching the wrong shyt

 

[O³ (O cubed)]

I'm looking for a certain poster. Apparently he's M.I.A.

 

[klutch2381]

The gap in skill is just too large for Wilder to ever have more than a puncher’s chance against Fury. Wilder is never going to be a fluid boxer or combination puncher. Those guys that start boxing late rarely are. Eje is another example. Dude showed a lot of heart because he took a lot of punishment in there. I watched it in the theater and shyt was lit!

 

[Screwface Exchange]

Whole joke is wit dis fight wilder really one. Go back n check dem counts on the knockdowns. Ref was mad ass slow. Shldve been a 10 count easy.

And ward called in during the fight too it was a slow count.

 

[lib123]

If he lowered his weight, he'd have less to throw behind his punches. I don't think any weight change would've ended in a different result. Fury is just a definitively better boxer.

Fury definitely is a better boxer. Wilder should’ve just made it about moving around and periodically going for the knockout. That’s the only way he could win.

 

[-Quikness-]

Usyk should be next for Fury... Let Joshua go fight Ruiz or somebody and maybe get back into contention later on.

Ain’t no way Joshua fights Ruiz for a 3rd time dude, wtf

 

[Alvin]

Wilder came out too strong in the first imo, fury got that strategy.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Usyk giving up like 50 pounds and 6 inches to Tyson.

Yeah but he deserves the match. There's nobody else for Fury except him..

 

[GzUp]

Looked like fury didn’t train for this fight, maybe 3 weeks.
