Fury On KO Of Wilder: Shots Like That, They End Careers; He Took A Lot Of Punishment

LAS VEGAS – Tyson Fury felt the devastation when he landed the crushing right hand that emphatically ended his third fight against Deontay Wilder.

Fury got great leverage on a punch that landed directly on Wilder’s left temple and sent the former WBC heavyweight champion crashing to the canvas. Referee Russell Mora immediately waved an end to their epic encounter as soon as Wilder landed on his left side, obviously unable to continue in what was already a brutal battle at T-Mobile Arena.

The 33-year-old Fury’s convincing victory gave him plenty of profitable options early in 2022. Wilder, however, suffered a second straight technical-knockout loss to the gigantic Englishman and absorbed an inordinate amount of punishment in their ESPN/FOX Sports Pay-Per-View main event.

Fury was noncommittal when asked during their post-fight press conference if this devastating defeat will end Wilder’s career.

“I have not seen the actual knockout, but I felt it,” Fury said. “You know, I felt like he was getting tired and he was getting fatigued, and I hit him solid with a crunching right hook right on the side of the temple. And shots like that, they end careers. And I just hope that he’s OK, you know? He took a lot of punishment tonight with left uppercuts, right uppercuts, left hooks, right hands and yeah, he definitely took some punishment. We’ll see what he can do in the future.”

Wilder, who will turn 36 on October 22, will need a long break after suffering three knockdowns and taking numerous flush punches from the 6-feet-9, 277-pound Fury. Wilder floored Fury twice during the fourth round and appeared on the verge of completing what would’ve been a remarkable comeback from a third-round knockdown and a completely lopsided loss to Fury in their rematch in February 2020.

Fury (31-0-1, 22 KOs) recovered from those two knockdowns, though, and was the fresher, more effective fighter during the ensuing six-plus rounds. He knocked Wilder to the canvas twice more, once in the 10th round and again early in the 11th round.

Wilder (42-2-1, 41 KOs) didn’t discuss his future following another disappointing defeat.

“I did my best, but it wasn’t good enough,” Wilder said. “I’m not sure what happened. I know that in training he did certain things, and I also knew that he didn’t come in at 277 to be a ballet dancer. He came to lean on me, try to rough me up and he succeeded.”

Big Baby Jared Anderson who fought on the undercard might be our only hope.

I think you brothas in here should check out Dacarree "Mactruck" Scott. Dude is a problem. Obviously early in his career but could boom in the future.

I heard reports that Wilder broke his hand in that 4th round knockdown. Wish he would have used his usual gloves. He's so strong, the force he produces can hurt his without proper gloves.

Missing haymakers for 9 rounds and getting hit hard all the time is going to tire out the boxer. Obviously.

Now I sit back and wait for the official narrative of why Wilder lost.
The slow count seems to be ahead so far but we'll see, the "glove gate" didn't come until a few days after the second fight and it took Wilder a few months too before going with it. On a way, it's funny how the glove gate didn't even come from Wilder but from his stans but it's what gained traction after all. Wilder just said everything about why he lost the days after the fight and it has gotten crazier and crazier as time passed but first he was complaining about injuries, Breland throwing in the towel and the costume, not the gloves.

But for real... let's hope he loses with dignity now, he fought his heart out in the ring and gained respect for it, it would be a pity to fukk it up now.

That intentional rabbit punch was disgusting

Man fukk Tyson Fury. I mean he won and he is clearly the better boxer but I can’t stand that dude.

And the ref definitely counted slow but refs do that sometimes. by my count he still would have made it up by 8-9 as opposed to 6-7 and if the ref counted correctly and called it a KO based on that we would have all felt ripped off. He was up by 9 and ready to keep going. I’ve seen fights called when the boxer is ready at 9, and I’ve always felt cheated. I know it’s gonna be debated more and fair enough, it was a close count and I’m not mad if anyone feels it was too slow, but I don’t think they will be able to fight it because it wasn’t out of the ordinary

The ref told Fury to put his hands up and he couldn't do it. Took a 10 second delay for his brain to process. He was knocked out.

Just rag dolled and pummeled
Most one sided trilogy I've ever seen

Hitting on top of the head will hurt your hand. The gloves he used were puncher gloves, iirc, so Fury was getting the full impact.

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

This. People talking about heart but what praise is that if you are being beat senseless? Wilder didn't even look like he was competitive beside round 1, the knockdowns in round 4, and his rally in the last few seconds of round 10. He looked bad, imo. He was tired, breathing with his mouth, slow, couldn't get his footwork right, body language looked liked he was done
