    Yes, my prediction was that. But I did say that Fury’s best chance to win was to go and take the fight. Wilder is vulnerable and chinny..

    Havent read any of the thread as I was too engrossed in the fight.... but to my mind Kenny B was way too quick to jump in and try to break them up...
    But a marvelous, tactical masterclass from Fury...well done!

    I actually thought his corner were going to pull him out earlier.

    I know he has huge power, but it was obvious from very early on that he was so beaten up and tired that there was absolutely no snap to the very few punches he threw.

    Haye...what chance has Wilder got in a rematch?

    Is he serious?

    Fair enough. We did agree on that as painstaking as it was to communicate that to one or two others. Wilder has been asking for it for a long time

    He covered himself by saving could. :pac:

    Sure if my aunt had wheels, she could be a bike.

    To be fair to Wilder he didn’t look for a way out he’d have fought on


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,919 ✭✭✭simongurnick


    American pie. What a guy

    Better exit song anyhow!

    disappointed.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,372 ✭✭✭Dick phelan


    What a performance, battered him from pillar to post. Fury went up another level tonight, I knew he was great but I didn't know he was that special. The clear no 1 in the world right now and it ain't even close.

    Never seen anything like that before, he'll be the biggest name in heavyweight boxing since Ali after that. Great performance in the ring and then singing a song like that, just so entertaining.

    Did wilder look alright from the start?

    Or did the punch for first knockdown do him in?

    Brilliant hand speed and accuracy. Footwork excellent. So brave to back himself and utterly negate a dangerous puncher.

    Sober up! Great performance though

    Looked like he always does until he got hit.

    Even Ortiz was giving him a boxing lesson the last time.

    People on about how good his jab is???
    He'd have nothing only for his knockout punch.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,610 ✭✭✭iebamm2580


    best by far he has ever boxed, he showed decent power too, and some lads saying he cant punch, hes 19st ffs


  • Registered Users Posts: 461 ✭✭DaithiMa


    Fury is the man. When will he get the credit he deserves. The ear damage was caused by a legal punch. He was destroying Wilder before that anyway, he was spitting blood in the corner after the 2nd. Hopefully Fury keeps it together now, doesn't go on a bender and schools Joshua in the summer.

    No, it's just that Wilder just isn't that good!

    I've been harping on about this for a long time. The problem with his previous opponents is that they gave him way too much respect, once any pressure has been put on him before he never looked comfortable. His boxing skills are poor.

    Fury went and won that fight....and in doing so, neutralised Wilder completely...

    Just as I thought could happen..his aggression and offence and range was his best defence here. Wilder couldn’t get a second to set..

    I don’t think any agreed with me when I said so..

    The only man who could be proven right no matter what happened , fury is the king !

    He will break aj up as well

    Wilder underestimated furys power, u get smacked by a 270 pound guy, you're gonna feel it, wilder was done after the 1st knock down fury had wilder done; chuffed for Tyson but deontay is a warrior, respect

    Wilder has been on borrowed time for a long while now. He’s bluffed by fighting turkeys even though he’s game himself. Ortiz was a very safe option for him. He has power and speed but compared to fury zero ring craft.
    Don’t get why the commentators don’t think he will exercise the rematch clause. It’s still a huge fight and short route to a belt. At 34 he’s suddenly aging too

    Great result for tyson
    His decision to change trainer seems vindicated - he knows what he needs and wants to do pre fights. Same as he knows when he's going to fall off the wagon. I hope he stays focused and fights AJ next and soon. Well deserved win - best come back story in boxing - if not definitely up there. Not only is he winning fights but he's bringing new fans and fans that supported him all along on one hell of a journey. Chap is such an entertainer
