Tyson Fury v Deontay Wilder 3

[sanatogen]

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.

P.S When Anthony Joshua sees Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury

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 🥊

My takeaways from the fight:

Credit where credit is due. I never liked Fury's style, ever since that sham of a heavyweight fight against Wladimir. But I gotta take my hat off to the man. First... he stepped in when Wilder and Joshua were doing their soap opera dance and decided to face Wilder instead (getting Joshua off the hook it seems). Next... he gets up from a HELLACIOUS combination in the 1st fight and goes on to finish the fight... arguably deserving the decision instead of a draw. He gave Wilder two more chances and knocked him out in both. I may not like when he faces the Wallins and Schwartzes of the world... but he's proven his mettle as a heavyweight champion.

Wilder has a lion's heart (so does Fury, BTW). He was stumbling around early in the fight but fought on. Even managed to get Fury in trouble himself in the 4th round, after being knocked down himself. He truly went out on his shield. IMO, Wilder can still KTFO most other heavyweights out there today.

The extra weight did him no good. I said as much before the fight. If anything, it took away his stamina. He was gassed from the 3rd round on. He didn't help himself by swinging for the fences early on... but the writing was on the wall. Fury's extra weight was more advantageous for him than Wilder's was for him. Although the ref was on top of it, and prevented Fury from leaning down on Wilder... just pushing Fury around was too exhausting for Wilder.

Fury takes a better punch than I thought. It's just that I remember him getting floored by some light HW named Cunningham years back... and I figured Fury had a suspect chin. Obviously the 1st Wilder fight proved me wrong... and the 3rd one did also. Fury takes a fantastic punch.

For my taste, I liked the job done by the ref last night. He was quick to separate them... and it made for a clean fight.

Finally... I think the stock of BOTH guys goes up after last night. It may seem strange to say Wilder's stock went up from a loss..... but Wilder showed he can make adjustments to his game plan. Early on he was jabbing insistently at Fury's body... and you could tell he's been trying very hard to rectify his boxing shortcomings. He wasn't the "Atomic Windmill" he used to be early on in his career. It's just that Wilder just CANNOT beat Fury. Too big... too heavy... too quick... too skilled. Wilder gave it all in there. He should be commended for that.

I will go against the grain and side with Wilder on the Fury-fat-gain.

Wilder finally responded- way too late- but needed- claimed he did his best. But it was not good enough.
He didn't complain, yet it was a horrible way to enda great fight. Refused to admit defeat. Broken hand or not.

Where I also agree is when he stated Fury did not come in at 277 to be a ballet dancer. I think Wilder knew early on- whenever they clinched-it followed leaning on him.

Stated Fury gained the weight with the intent of using it to lean on him, wear him out Wilder stated; He succeeded.
So the weight gain may have made Fury look a bit more vulernable, but the sacrfice in looking great, ensured Wilder would be so damn tired of all that jiggly fat on his back, his neck, he was tired as hell, that is why I think he fell with his eyes open. It wasn't just the punch, it was the fatigue from feeling that weight applied.


With that said, I have no doubt-IF Fury fights again/soon he will NOT come in at 277lbs.
I think that was the plan and it worked! He didnt undertrain, he calculated what it might do and Deontay said what Fury came out to do- he succeeded.

Tough watching Deontay flop around round after round. Where he gained my deepest respect- getting up, he lost a lot of that by refusing to concede.

If Deontay fights again that power will still be there, but I do wonder if he will ever be there mentally.
Meaning-IMO He knew he couldn't win after Fury got up twice, so that was fighting on heart. In the fire, he may just give up or go through the motions. I think that is a huge possibilithy based on how he reacted after the fight. Like a sore ass loser.

Sloppy ass fight. Bombs away. Little technique. Both down. 5x total made us overlook how unskilled they both looked at times.
That was because both men wanted the other OUTTA there!!! So I understand why both looked a little more flawed than usual.

Tim Witherspoon conveys my thoughts well. The people weren't really looking for skill they were here looking for a winner. It was sloppy, but again not every boxing fan wants to see skills.
Tyson was the more skilled, but not even skill. Deontay just sloppy. But it was a great fight, not high in skills.

I totally agree with one exception- I think Fury knew he wanted to slop it up, just like against Klitschko he stunk it up, all holding and clinching, but this one was bombs and clinch, bomb and lay on him.

Exciting. But not a very skillful fight between two HW,s IMO like Holy-Bowe or Mercer-Lewis or even Norton-Holmes, those were high octane HW champs fighting hard- with enviable skill.
No skills were on display, but hey when youy get 5KDS! LOL! I guess it doesnt matter!
