With Fury, NO ONE gave Fury a chance. He was a coke-head fresh off of a binge. Amazing!!
See, when you say “SHOCK”, Fury v Wilder wasn’t a massive shock.
For the reasons we know about coke head, weight loss, etc. It SHOULD HAVE BEEN the biggest shock, but the truth is that Wilder ain’t that good and hence it wasn’t a big shock.
I don’t know how old you are, whether you lived through the Rumble in the Jungle, but the reason it was a massive shock is because what Foreman had done to Frazier.
If that happened nowadays , it would be so hyped, they would make Foreman fight 3 guys on the same night.
