I like Fury. He's genuine, unashamedly un PC and does not give a single fuck. A really nice touch to thank Wilder afterwards for the opportunity and the fact he was even coherent after that second knock down proves how tough he is. That showboating could have really bitten him in the arse but he came out looking like a champ.
Wilder can hit though, @raznomore wasn't exaggerating, unbelievable power for a guy of just 96kg.
He’s a racist fluffybunny but good for the sport.
He's a gypsy Hooroo, you can hardly blame him for that, besides he blatantly kissed a black man on TV after punching him for 12 rounds. If that's not love I don't know what is.
Oh sweet. It’s all good to be a bigoted fluffybunny if you are a Gypsy and you have a mate that isn’t white? Cool man
You're getting very, very triggered and taking the fern far too seriously these days hooroo
Just never liked racists

Would love to see Fury win.
Everything is pointing to a DW knock-out, but if Fury can box from distance he can bamboozle DW.

Whilst quoting yourself may be crass this is how it played out.
Great fight, shit judging.
Fury won that despite the knock-downs. Totally outboxed Wilder. And this is a boxing match not a slugging match.
Class from Fury in the presser

If Joshua and his team truly believe that AJ is the best Heavyweight out there then they should be making the fight with Fury first - no belt - and taking his '0'.
Then Wilder for all the belts and his '0'.
Unfortunately it'll be this time next year at the earliest before he fights either of them

Brilliant fight in terms of a spectacle to watch. Both of them are showmen in the ring.
No problems with the result either for me. A lot of close rounds and I would have scored in 114-112 to Fury but can see arguments either way. Difficult to win a fight when you get knocked down twice but Fury almost did it.
Would def watch the rematch!

There is an interview online where Eddie Hearn is giving advice to Mickey Garcia ,
And he says , no need to fight Errol Spence yet , take your time , no need to take risks until you have to, plenty of other fights out there in the meantime,
He pretty much revealed his hand on what he is doing with Joshua .

Great movie. Absolutely no way it would be made today.

@raznomore said in Boxing Thread:
Only got to see snippets in the end. I have no idea how Fury got up in the 12th.
Wilder himself said , paying tribute to his toughness , i saw his eyes roll into the back of his head , I thought it was all over , only god knows how he got back up.

This
Mad Gypsy Bastard
Thought Fury was Pantomime despite his win over Kltitschko.
Happily proven wrong, he's Grand Opera.

I have only seen clips as well but looking at those scorecards the judge that had a Wilder result scored rounds 2,3,4 and 8 all the opposite way to the other two judges but he also gave Fury 7 when the others gave that to Wilder.
Does anyone know if he was on a 'different side' to the action and had a different view? -
Fury press conferences are a different experience
-
ha ha he is a legit GC and mad as a cut snake. He does a really good job of jumping between the entertainment side of things and boxing insights. Dude does not know how to lose though, holy shit he just shook off that last knockdown like a boss.

Fury has gone from villain to hero.
Joshua not wanting to fight in the US is looking like a smart decision.

He'll always struggle to an extent in the UK as he's a traveller. And this section of society is truly hated by most (including by me).
And for bloody good reasons.

Plus they were patting themselves on the back for a crowd of 17,698
Makes no sense for Joshua when he can get 75,000 in Cardiff and 90,000 in Wembley.

It would be interesting to compare the PPV numbers though. A US fight will add some local audience to the paying UK audience that may out weigh the bums on seats.
Edit: Have found that AJs last 2 fights attracted 1.5m PPVs (Kilitscho fight slightly higher than JP fight) easily the highest PPVs in UK boxing history.

Yeah I think overall a UK based fight makes sense.

Had Fury winning 114-112 myself. Still, he got careless and paid for it.

Watched it again , that’s about what I thought ,
Had fury winning 8 rounds by 1 point , wilder winning 2 rounds outside the 2 knockdown rounds by 1 point , the two knockdown rounds Wilder winning by 2 points ,
2 points differential , win to fury imo .
But it is closer than many are saying due to the knockdowns

Not having a go Rage, but you've just committed a crime in modern Britain.
