60% Tyson Fury made Wilder looked clueless!

I guess, Fury was fully fit or nearly fully. But he actually won and was robbed in any case.

Fury looked so much better for the Klitschko fight. I didn't think Fury looked great like I thought he did in the Klitschko fight. Seriously, I think that verison of Fury would've lost to Klitschko.

Lennox Lewis also predicts how the Wilder-Fury rematch would playout:

Just a comment. I find it weird when I see "Wilder got exposed"...Did people think Wilder had Boxing skill? He's a knockout puncher. That's it. He can't box for sh*t. Never could.
Re: After 3 years of abusing his body, King Fury still boxed Wilder! In rematch I hope Fury gets in better shape!
I thought that he held his own boxing last night. He made Fury miss the vast majority of what he threw and caught most of the rest with his guard.
Wilder gets no respect, for some valid reasons, but he is a much improved boxer.
Re: After 3 years of abusing his body, King Fury still boxed Wilder! In rematch I hope Fury gets in better shape!
Nah. He can't box for sh*t. Never could. He has good speed, and tremendous power, but looks like an amateur when he's trying to "outbox" a guy.

Wilder will never be mistaken for a master boxer. But his skills are far from $hit.gilgamesh wrote: ↑02 Dec 2018, 12:58Nah. He can't box for sh*t. Never could. He has good speed, and tremendous power, but looks like an amateur when he's trying to "outbox" a guy.
He blocked and avoided the majority of Fury' s assault. He countered well.
Not master class but decent skills

For all the skill Fury displays defensively, he always looks pretty uncoordinated offensively.tiny_acres wrote: ↑02 Dec 2018, 13:32Wilder will never be mistaken for a master boxer. But his skills are far from $hit.

C'mon, who else in the sport right now is going to jab a guy around a ring giving up 50lb in weight? Wilder isn't as bad as gets made out. His biggest flaw imo is an inability to counterpunch, but what he does is effective. He's never met an opponent he hasn't put on queer street.gilgamesh wrote: ↑02 Dec 2018, 12:58Nah.

I must've missed it when he jabbed Fury around the ring. He landed a few, but not all that many. Fury definitely landed more jabs.RKY wrote: ↑02 Dec 2018, 13:40C'mon, who else in the sport right now is going to jab a guy around a ring giving up 50lb in weight?

I totally agree, even though I felt he was outclassing Wilder for much of the fight. But you can't hide from power forever and that proved to be the case in this fight.

This is what makes him so exciting to watch. You know it's going to happen. You just don't know when.RKY wrote: ↑02 Dec 2018, 13:40C'mon, who else in the sport right now is going to jab a guy around a ring giving up 50lb in weight? Wilder isn't as bad as gets made out.

For a heavyweight title fight, I never saw so many punches miss by both fighters. Though Fury did a lot of clowning early on, I didn't think Wilder landed hardly any punches and Fury landed enough to win the rounds. It was mostly a crap fight for the title except the last 4 rounds. I think a draw is OK or Fury should have won by 1-2 points. Without the 2 kd's, Wilder did very little and coasted both rounds after the kd's knowing he automatically wins the rounds. He could have tried to take Fury out when he was hurt but was happy enough to win the rounds 10-8.
I miss the 70's and 80's when there were great heavyweight fights.

I think I even saw a Wilder jab. True, he is not known for his boxing but I agree he boxed well for himself last night. Hats off to Fury especially for getting up in the 12th.

Wlad could not landed on Fury because Fury did such a tremendous job to negate and nullify Wlad's jab and attacks, period.

Bottom line is that an unfit-rusty Tyson Fury pretty much outboxed a very fit Wilder.
Re: After 3 years of abusing his body, King Fury still boxed Wilder! In rematch I hope Fury gets in better shape!
I'm not sure he was all that unfit. Having ballooned up to 400 pounds or whatever it was, he's probably always going to have kind of a dodgy-looking physique.

There are still great fights happening between big guys. They just happen at the cruiser weight now days.

Wlad couldn't land because he didn't fight.apollo creed wrote: ↑02 Dec 2018, 14:56 Wlad could not landed on Fury because Fury did such a tremendous job to negate and nullify Wlad's jab and attacks, period.
You miss 100% of the shots you don't throw.
