What a fking fight. Best boxing match i've seen in a long time.
Had everything, controvasy , drama, and pure heart.
When Wilder went down first I thought that was it. But then he drops Fury twice in the next round.
Then I thought that was it, but next round again, he eyes were clear, that man has some unreal recovery
Then he just ground down Wilder and dropped him again.
I hope thats the end of this rivalry, Wilder is a classless bum tbh.
I think they said Whyte is next for Fury, which is shit but WBC are demanding it, I want to see Usyk v Fury now, and I actually don't have a clue how to call that. I think Fury is just too big but Usyk is a boxer and a half two, but we'll have to wait for that. He got the AJ clause next. If AJ wins, has to be the following fight, AJ vs Fury.
Anyway, I am still buzzing after that fight, was awesome.
Unbelievable fight. Up there with some of the best Heavyweight fights of all time.
Wilder was classless with his comments at the end and has really shown what type of person he is. However, he showed heart. If Fury didn't smoother his work so much and took a step back, he would've been able to get more shots off following the right hand. He could've got him out of there sooner.
Totally classless, was disgusting to see.
I question now how effective that right hand is, because twice he dropped Fury and Fury got up.
Did he break his hand ?
Oh, the right hand is legit. If you notice, the first one that dropped Fury with the delayed reaction was right on the forehead, the hardest part of the head, and it still scrambled him. Fury has a good chin and recovery powers. Fury is also good at taking the sting off shots with his upper body & head movement, although, he was much more stationary this fight. He also does the right thing when he goes down, he takes his time and uses the whole count, which is what you should do. I've seen so many fighters jump straight back up and their legs are gone. Zab Judah against Kosta Tszyu springs to mind..
I saw that with the right hand, Andre Ward on commentary said it's a habit, he does it in most fights. Leo Santa Cruz has a similar tick, he shakes the right hand after throwing it. The problem with Wilder, was either loading up too much, or telegraphing the right hand. He started off strong with the jab to the body in round 1. He then deployed it from round 2 and started to look tired.

Just seen that Wilder wants Joshua next.
Would make a decent undercard for Fury vs Usyk.
Eddie Hearn wouldn't want the Wilder fight. Too risky with little reward.
However, if we are talking hypothetically. I would love a double header like that.
It was tongue-in-cheek, as in it's no longer worthy of a main event now that they?ve both had their reputations damaged by recent outcomes.
It's true that I read an article with Wilder's trainer saying that, though, re: AJ.
But nobody will be interested in the Wilder vs Joshua match anymore. Not as much as they once were anyway. The heavyweights are all between the ages of 31-35, so there won?t be time for them all to box each other now.
Fury, Usyk, Whyte just get on with it when it comes to the matchups, and that is the attitude the fans will will want to see for now.
I don?t blame AJ, though. He's decent. Eddie Hearn has just overestimated his mileage and got it wrong.
It's not the end for AJ, but he/his generation has been overshadowed by Fury, so he can only realistically claim back pride now, rather than top spot.

Bivol was superb last night. Proper disciplined performance. Landed clean shots, patient, kept his shape well, excellent jab. Canelo was out of ideas. Beaten by a well schooled Light Heavyweight.
