In London, was it? That's one of the few Harrison fights I didn't watch live.

Yeah. Gone in 60 seconds or close to that.

Yeah, it feels unlikely. Same as Fury and Joshua agreeing terms. I expect Wilder to look for a decent opponent next time, with the plan of staying close to the sharp end while working on his pacing. Then the rematch after.
When I say that Fury won, I mean mentally. Lots of people believe that he did win, so why should he risk a rematch when he can take a crack at Joshua to try and become the era's greatest. Joshua-Fury's the natural next step, with Wilder contemplating his approach against Miller. Or he could fight in the UK for the first time against the Whyte-Chisora winner.
Wilder now fought someone who can take his power for the first time, albeit depleted. Must've been a bit of a shock for him when Fury got up. I don't think he'll lose faith in his power, but he must now realise he needs to add more to his game.
Wilder fought harrison in the uk
Could you even call that a fight

Huge credit to both of them. Both v gracious in the press conference. Ace fight, I thought Tyson shaded it but I can see the draw too with the 2 knockdowns. Rematch should be good,

He's a bum. Lots of heart to get up from the knockdown, but he's boring as sh*t.
What’s your issue with Fury? He’s taken on the man Joshua has avoided after 2 low level comeback fights.....and still held his own.
His fighting style may not be to your liking, but he continuously delivers on his word

The ref the real MVP, British referees would have stopped that fight as soon as Fury went down

Big up to Tyson, he's still got it. That was my main concern. I hope he can keep himself together now.

I enjoyed the fight, it certainly had it's moments, but it was no classic.
For Wilder to get a draw he had to win 3 rounds outside of the two 10-8 knockdown rounds.
I gave him two and so had Fury winning 114-112.
Amazing heart getting up from that knockdown. If Fury had more power he would be virtually ipossible to beat.
I see people complaining that if this was in the UK or outside the US Fury would have got the decision.
If this fight had been in the UK then Wilder would have won by KO in the 12th. Don't know of many British refs apart from Tezza O'Conner who would not have waved that off.

i really enjoyed the fight
Fury was robbed. simple as. He deserves massive credit. How he got up the 2nd time ill never know, i swear he was asleep at 6!!
boxing will remain corrupt as long as the promoter selects officials, wines and dines them and pays their 'expenses'........straight into their sky rocket i should imagine.
the only way forward is for a small % income to be generated from sanctioning fees or fighters purses to allow the officials to be selected and 'entertained' in a straight manner. a central body should select them and accommodate them.

Like him or hate him (Gilgamesh
) you got to respect him 3 years out and he just beat a man who's being avoided by the so called best in the division. Fury will get all his belts back. First real fight since Klitscko what a man
He gave a commendable effort certainly. I don't think he won. He'll probably pick up another strap at some point.

I’m really choked for Fury.
But now I can’t see any way he doesn’t make a vast improvement again. Surely his next fight he will be 5-10lbs lighter again and much better in reflexes speed and power again as he gets himself back after such. Long lay off.
I only gave Wilder the KD rounds and round 1. And I thought there was a case for a 10-9 round the first knockdown round.
