Some say his eardrum is busted and his balance was obviously gone, so not much you can do with that. I thought Fury landed an illegal shot and it changed the entire fight. Wilder was fine for nearly rounds and only then did it change. He was brave for continuing when he knew he was messed up.

I think Fury just took advantage of the situation and thus looked good. Do it again minus the rabbit punch and see how it goes. Fury still couldn't stop an obviously lucid Wilder who to be fair should be saved for another day as he is better than that.

To be fair, I was rooting for Wilder and thought he had a pretty good chance tonight. But rabbit punch or no rabbit punch I think Fury's strategy of coming in aggressively and using his considerable weight advantage to wear down Wilder worked like a charm. Wilder was never the same after that first KD, so I think there's something to the theory of having busted his eardrum. But Fury was just the better man tonight. I still think Wilder sweeps the floor with Joshua.
