Wow. That was one of the best HW title fights of all time... Damn

[jeff7b9]

Both men got up off the canvas TWICE.

UNBELIEVABLE show of heart.

Felt like it was 1 punch away from history for 9 straight rounds.


Tonight was a great night to be a boxing fan. I hope you all enjoyed that battle as much as I did. Respect all around. That was a WAR!!


I would have liked to see a count. I don't think it would have made a difference, but Tyson got the full 10 seconds in the first fight, Deontay deserved the same opportunity.

Curious if there will be controversy on the slow count on the 2nd time Fury went down.
Also curious to see if Wilder accepts the results or if we get another wave of excuses.

Good effing fight!!!!!

 

[thorcorm]

One guy beat the piss out of the other aside from getting caught in the 4th round.

 

[Biggamer86]

The beating Wilder took is possibly the worst beating I've ever seen someone take. I legit hope he has no long term repercussions from this fight.

 

[Espresso]

Ive been telling everyone.

History

 

[Venom]

Beautiful highlight reel worthy knockdowns...

Like, historic reels.

 

[theaustrianoak]

Great fight. No need for a count in the 11th, Wilder was on borrowed time for a while

 

[snugglecakes]

Sooo… now what… who do they each fight next?

 

[struckus]

amazing fight..man was it good..

 

[Gas121]

Heart of a lion. Big respect to Wilder that was incredible how he hanged in there.

Ref was doing a slow count all night long, all of the counts were well over 10 seconds.
Then on top of that he wasted more time than usual when doing the "hands up, walk to me" test.

 

[Noveltymortar]

Best heavyweight fight I can remember in at least the last 20 years. Credit to Wilder because his power is unreal and he has heart for days, but Tyson Fury is just special. What a fighter.

 

[Zarathustra611]

Great fight. Both had some big moments.

Fury showed again he's the only man who can get back up from a Wilder right. And he gave Wilder a pretty solid beating in the later rounds.

 

[ICHEERTHEBULL]

Sooo… now what… who do they each fight next?

Officially Fury fights the winner of whyte/wallin that would be the mandatory but he might get a voluntary before that. Wilder I’m not so sure, can see him taking a long break

 

[jeff7b9]

Sooo… now what… who do they each fight next?

Ideally...

Tyson Fury vs Usyk for undisputed unified king

AJ vs Wilder bronze medal/consolation match
(And title eliminator *IF result does not lead to fury v wilder 4)


But it's boxing so we will have to wait for Usyk vs AJ rematch and probably some fucking pointless mandatory and MAYBE if we are lucky we get a true unification late 2022 IF Tyson doesn't lose/get stripped, etc in between.

Yeah. Not a fan of these 20 second knockdown plus recovery time and concussion protocol slash excessive break time.

And it seems to be the way things are going.

 

[Badr Hari]

Sooo… now what… who do they each fight next?

Fury fights winner of Whyte vs Wallin while Usyk fights Joshua. If both come victorious Fury vs Usyk is THE fight to be made a year from now.

I hope Wilder doesn't retire.

 

[Lots]

Fury is one of the best heavyweight boxers of all time. Top 10 easy.

 

[Zarathustra611]

AJ is going to be rematching Uysyk in April.

Tyson probably fights the mandatory within a month either side of that.

Then Fury v Usyk/AJ for all the belts around October next year.

 

[TGArthur]

It was a special fight. Wilder had me thinking a few times in that fight he would pull it through
