Got around to watching the fight.
Punch was more so on the side of the head then back of the head, it landed cuz wilder kept turning his head and that punch landed in the same location all through the fight.
Tbh that punch always lands in fights.
Fury didn’t just beat wilder but he exposed him, don’t be at the end of wilder punches and back him up. We will see if anyone does this and if they are successful.
No way wilder beats fury unless of course he lands that punch but it’s looking highly unlikely.
I wonder if wilder will ever be the same, he took one of those beatings, it wasn’t even a competitive beating like broner had.
Also i just want to say re: Wilder i actually used to be a big fan of his. There was a period around 2016-17 where he was virtually unknown everywhere(mainstream wise) despite having had dozens of fights and he saw heavyweight boxing in the uk was on the comeup, so he came over here and did quite a lot of tv with sky sports, he came across as a really humble and good guy. He even commentated on the Joshua/Klitschko fight and did a great job, was complimentary of Joshua. Became a fan of his. But somewhere after that he went in to shouty mode and started all the double talk and ducking talk(accusing AJ when he clearly wasn't) and sorta bought his own hype.
Also I know about his commentary on the AJ/Klit fight because i re watched the fight just last week, and let me tell you something, Klitschko came in to that ring with the exact same tactics as Fury did with Wilder last night, walk him down and impose your will. That's why AJ being disrespected like he is in here is disgraceful. That Wlad from that fight would have murdered Wilder, and AJ said fukk it and went to war with him and came out on top. He is another level of boxer to Wilder and is only getting better and learning from his mistakes, something which Wilder has never done. IMO AJ's Ruiz rematch was maybe his best and most telling performance, it proved he can adjust and stick to a gameplan, it showed how good a boxer he is(obviously Fury is better still).
That said i do hope Wilder can come back because the division needs him. Whatever you say about his skills(you can say a lot) he's a warrior, hope this fight hasn't taken away too much from him.
Lol I never understood how AJ can dance but is considered stiff while Wilder looks like he can’t move anything but his arms and gets called athleticwe know josh is the better craftsman but son is stiff and robotic..
come on..
Yeah that’s gonna be tough for himHe will never be the same because his whole gimmick was he was undefeated and unbeatable.
Oh shytWilder getting exposed feels a lot like Ronda Rousey getting exposed
Yeah that’s gonna be tough for him
That whole aura of being a killer and unstoppable is gone. He was literally scared of Fury for most of that fight. Even when Ortiz was beating him, Wilder never seemed helpless like this.
But the division is trash so we might never see another boxer press him like that again.
His jabs looked powerful wilder was backing up after the first punchWatching the fight yet again, Fury was knocking him back with jabs. His jab was taking Wilder off balance. Fury's jabs looked really heavy.
If they have a 3rd fight wilder cant even trash talk as much as he did for this fight
No knockdowns from wilder but "pillow fisted" Fury knocked Wilder down and got the cleary victory
Fury is going to clearly be in his head for the 3rd fight.If they have a 3rd fight wilder cant even trash talk as much as he did for this fight
No knockdowns from wilder but "pillow fisted" Fury knocked Wilder down and got the cleary victory
That's the thing, how would they build this shyt now? How will he do all the press? He's been humiliated, all that tough talk which was his style and false bravado is gone now. What can he say? He lost twice now. If they box again the numbers may not be as good, people will think more of the same. Might be worth going a different route.
