Tyson Fury is a giant bum, a big fat parody of an elusive fighter that looks utterly ridiculous trying roll punches with his big fat 7 foot frame. He's going to get flattened tonight then hopefully go back to the WWF circus where he belongs.

The worse defeat last night was Eddie Hearn, he is no longer on the top table for negotiating a fight for Joshua. Can he sell 70k seats for a Joshua v Pulev fight when he is no longer unbeaten and a plastic belt holder ?
Hopefully the Joshua fight gets made , can't see Wilder wanting a 3rd fight and after those 2 who else could interest Fury in a fight ?
If Hearn is really willing to orgaize it, this fight will happen. Team Fury will take it for sure, in any case. The problen can go only from Hearn's side.

No mention of a burst ear drum in the press conference.
Talk from the Wilder camp was a cut inside the ear that needed a couple of stitches.
He had a cut inside his ear that needed stitching but that's all his team said.
There was a lot of blood coming from his mouth between rounds too,he was in pain from about the 3rd onward and appeared to have balance issues,indicating a burst eardrum
Fury just wasn't gonna be denied last night. Went after Wilder from the off. Wilder was like a rabbit in the headlights most of the fight. He was visibly worried and looked like he didn't want to be in there. Was pretty satisfying to watch tbh. Over the moon for Fury. He does the same to AJ....

That's what i thought at the time mate. Possibly was burst. First KD seemed to scramble his senses and that landed round the ear.

Don’t know what you’ve seen in Fury that makes you think he’s capable of steamrolling Wilder, all thing considered I can’t see past a Wilder ko myself, the weigh in (live on BT YouTube at 10.30pm) may be interesting, be a bad move for Fury to come in heavy.
Not saying im nostradamus or anything like but.......i also picked him to beat WK too

totally agree.
Provided he's mentally right he's on a completely different level to both

Credit to Fury. He's done better with his career than I thought he would when he was getting knocked on his arse by Cruiserweights on Channel 5.
Wilder was too passive in the fight. He needed to have a war in there the way Fury was fighting but he allowed Fury free reign to come forward all night. Fury just had more balls and was willing to take shots to get his own off.

Just watched it. Fury bullied him and beat him up. Corner could and maybe should have thrown the towel in the 5th round. Wilder was brave and tough but took a pasting.
On the ref, he had warned them both and maybe found it easier to take a point from Fury cos he was so far ahead. Ref had to break them up a lot and was right to do so. Fury was pretty dirty (smart dirty), picking wilder in the face a lot, few head locals too. Though he was gonna drop a ddt at one point. And I’m not having Wilder was scared/not prepared. First two rounds Wilder was game
If Fury can be fit and ready he should handle AJ too. He’s the best boxer of all the top big guys and knows how to use his size and reach. Plus he knows he can take a whack too so got the confidence to go at them. His game plan end execution was superb and he deserves all the plaudits he’ll receive. Proper up and down career, it’s good to see him achieving what he’s achieved. I never thought the guy who got out boxed all those years ago by McDermot would be the number 1 heavyweight in the world
I was like most others. Either Wilder KO or Fury points. Couldn't see any other outcome!
Crazy gameplan from Team Fury but that's why he is a Champion and I just like watching.
The punch behind Wilders ear was a bit like the one that scrambled AJ's senses vs Ruiz in the first fight. Never recovered and looked a bit confused and unsteady after that.
This will go down as an all time great win. A boxer going toe to toe vs one of the hardest punchers seen in the sport and having a shoot out! Seems suicidal from Fury!
Fair play. Beating Wilder away (arguably twice and two different ways) and ending Wlads 11 year(?) reign also away from home is super impressive!
Goes to show really. Wilder won a bronze medal and could’ve then developed his skills learnt at that level as an amateur and fought some decent level opponents and been a seasoned fighter with a great right hand. Instead, he let Haymon, Finkle and the likes protect the fvck out of him, destroy 38 absolute tomato cans who’d all probably lose on the same day to Dave Allen or Chisora and grow his ridiculous ego to the level that one punch can beat absolutely anyone in the business. Fast forward ten years and after an enormous 42 fights, he’s learnt absolutely nothing, throwing the same one punch he threw on his debut and got given his first boxing lesson. Ridiculous career
