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.

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.
He blocked and avoided the majority of Fury' s assault. He countered well.
Not master class but decent skills

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.

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.
