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

[OscarAcosta]

Yea, we have to also point out that Wilder is 35 going on 36 later this month. It's more a matter of how long this break will be, how many tune up fights does he need, and his physical shape. Unfortunately he is getting older, but if he can take care of his health, both physical and mental, work on his schools while learning new skills, he can most definitely bounce back. It's on him, though.

Yep, and I think that he has more to lose than to gain by fighting on, but so many fighters are terrible at knowing when to bow out, and Wilder seems to have that fighting spirit coursing through his veins in abundance.

You don't want to be getting into wars in your late 30s, especially in the HW division. As much as I have enjoyed him, I'd like to see him get away whilst he can still enjoy himself, his family, and the lifestyle that being champion will have afforded him. I would be happy not to see him fight again.

 

[dreskii]

is it wild for me to think Andy Ruiz is the only current contender who could actually beat fury?

 

[smitty22]

Definitely sounds like something that bozo @smitty22 would say.

You lying b*stard

Yep. Like I said, I'm not telling no one that fights for a living to retire from the sport that puts food on their table and in their kids mouths. But at 36 years old with 45 fights, reigning heavyweight champion, alot of money made, I think I'd be satisfied with knowing 2 of my losses and 1 draw came from 1 man and nobody else. That's just me, though. If he wants to continue to fight, he can, if he wants to retire, he can.

 

[Eddie Brock]

Just got done watching this. Wilder had absolutely zero head movement, stayed flat footed and didn’t have his hands up the entire fight. Recipe for disaster.

 

[Big Boss]

It seems like mainstream hip hop don't fukk with Wilder. First Drake and now I see lil Wayne supporting Fury. What's going on here?

Lol they mess with Tank

 

[TheDarkCloud]

We gotta let go of the race shyt in boxing. Fact of the matter is this is the one sport where race really doesn't matter. If you're good you're good. If fury was black he'd be worshipped by the black community like Floyd was. I'd be with you if this was UFC, where Maga runs wild, but it's not like that in this sport.

I agree with you but boxing is always going to have tribalistic origins. This goes back to even the Jack Johnson days. It's always going to be people rooting for their own people.

I guarantee you - as nikkas on this site speak about their hurt that Wilder lost, cacs are out here celebrating this as W for Yt people as a whole.

It's the nature of the game.

 

[noodles]

Fury don't impress me...

 

[Guile]

That's a dumb take. He lost to the best HW in the division. The other HWs are not going to replicate what Fury did against him.

Look man I'm trying to find excuses.

 

[The Wall Is Undefeated!]

Well done to Fury. He was the better fighter.

Respect to Wilder for his heart. However, rejecting Fury's handshake was a major dikk move.

 

[Rev Leon Lonnie Love]

overslept once again , might as well give me my ticket to the larry holmes gardens

Anyway, heres the replay for those like me:

 

[Conscious Pilot]

Great story and career from Wilder. Made something outta nothing and got a Bronze Gold Medal starting boxing later than most as well tying Muhammad Ali with 10 consecutive title defenses is commendable . Respect for going out on his Shield. His HW stature is solidified as an all Time KO Artist in Heavyweight History…

Sometimes… there just someone’s that’s got your number.. and it being a 6’9 260+ monster who moves better than most Middleweights , It’s really nothing to hang your hat on

What? Where did you get this idea from?

 

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

Fury don't impress me...

Then boxing is not your thing.

Coli in shambles. You love to see it
