Tyson Fury v Deontay Wilder 3

[SlimTrae]

As always thanks guys for blow by blow. Tough spot for Wilder. I saw the highlights, wow. Fury is a warrior who can box. If Wilder only knew how. Strong enough to drop a 277lb guy is no easy feat.

In Turkey on holiday.

Got up at 6 to watch it and the bastard WiFi was off in the hotel.

Anyway just managed to watch highlights after knowing result - kind of glad I did as would have had heart failure in that 4th.

Fair dues to both. Was fury poorer or wilder just better ?

Fury seemed a bit subdued in post fight interview with Buncey. That will have taken a lot out of him.

Fight the winner of Usyk AJ rematch and get out Tyson.

Great fight.

A fight in which both fighters made the experts, armchair or ringside veterans. re -evaluate some of their opinions, whilst confirming others. Wilder is nowhere near as useless as a boxer as many had insisted, and Fury is not quite the genius craftsman many have claimed him to be. Both looked wide open to big shots for large parts of the fight (and multiple trips to the canvas confirmed it) and while you have to admire the heart of both big men, there was a lot of fundamental errors from each side throughout that smaller men would have paid dearly for.

Fury seemed a bit surprised and thrown by Wilders success in getting to him early on and could not deliver on his promise to end things early without risking not getting up himself. Wilder seems not to be as concussive a puncher as his record suggests when you pair him with a decent boxer, but neither does he look as vulnerable as claimed, even with those Bambi legs. I got a decent return on Fury finishing in in the 11th but there were moments when both sides looked like making it an earlier finish and Wilder was a little unlucky not to see the final bell. The big American looked much better equipped to survive this time out every time he shipped a big punch, but Fury seemed to let him off the hook at several points and is nowhere near the massive puncher commentators still insist on claiming, just because he is a huge bloke with big spades.

Usyk? Technically I think Fury struggles to shut him down and would have to alternate between swinging for the trees and bear hugging him.

Lets not have a fourth for a bit, but Wilder is not over yet and Fury has shown he can be a lot easier to hit than many are willing to admit.

Fury did briefly mention training camp disrupted this time, and it showed. His performance wasnt as good as the second fight.

Wilder redeemed himself somewhat with refusing to go away and still being dangerous close to the end.

I am sure Fury found it hard to motivate himself to get ready for Wilder as he has effectively beaten him twice.

Wilder was more determined in this fight and made a better effort of it in this bout than in all the others. The extra weight may have helped Wilder survive so long in the fight but he got tired quicker and once his legs were gone he could not generate the power to deter Fury.

Man... these guys need to fight again.......... Just kidding.

That's what you call a great night of boxing Gentleman (oh and Ladies, I wouldn't want assume anybody's gender)

I've rarely seen more heart in the ring ever than from Wilder tonight. From round five he belonged on the cast of the walking dead. He can find solace in the fact that he never quit and reinforced the standard of heart and courage in boxing, that often is lacking in world-championship fights. Some people do need to be rescued from themselves though - but alpha male millionaires have a way of imposing their will on employees.

Wilder is a brave man who would probably fight a lion. He had his eyes open too when he fell. It was like the end of gladiator when Maximus can see and feel the fields in the afterlife.

I think his brain was switched off for a second as he is falling his arm doesnt even react to the rope being in the way it just slides down as if he doesn't know the rope is there. Hopefully hospital gives him the all clear.

He had one big round but was battered by a fat man AGAIN. That's look in the mirror time.

Wilder has made a ton of money and then some. the brain is not made to be punched repeatedly. If I were some one he might listen to....mgr, friend, trainer etc......I would strongly encourage him to retire. Don't believe he will though. It is a hard thing for any one to walk away from all the adulation , the glitz and glory etc. takes a clear thinking person with more than a degree of wisdom to do it. Hope he does.

I started off focusing more on Wilder in this post because let's face it more than enough is gonna be said and written about Fury over the next few wks and months but for a dude that looks like a bag of milk he has some absolutely insane cardio, god damn.

It cannot be overstated how impressive he is stamina wise. I honestly believe Fury was buzzed a few times but he has a BRILLIANT poker face.

It's over. Fury is the king of Tuscaloosa. The king of America. The king of GB. The end.

That was an epicwar, this trilogy is up there with the very best in boxing history.
Would have loved to have seen Wilder offer Fury his hand after the fight instead of sulking then leaving the ring.
Wilder was brilliant last night and showed a huge set of balls to stay on his feet.
Fury was Fury and seems more and more half man half Terminator and impossible to beat if you try to fight/KO him.
I know Usyk is by a mile a tiny man with zero physical advantages but I do think he's clever enough to try and outbox Fury.
I've got more respect for Wilder than AJ after his performance last night, he's willing to have a proper go and let's his bombs go.
I'd pick Wilder to KO AJ if they fought.
Fury v Usyk looks very likely to happen in about 12 months for all the belts.
The Heavyweight division is properly alive and kicking 🥊
