    These dudes put on some of the best heavy weight fights if all time.

    I don't even know what to say about this fight. I feel bad for Wilder he was just relentless and no giving up. Seriously I feel bad for the guy.

    Awesome fight, amazing series, sad that it’s over.

    The tub o lard having such a big gas tank is absurd and wonderful to behold.

    They should have thrown in the towel earlier.

    He looked pretty gassed most of the fight.

    Worried for Wilder and hope he's okay, he looked concussed for most of the fight tbh...

    Fury outclassed him again though again, Wilder has ton of heart but most of his stuff is wild and without much plan. I was hoping he'd get an out of nowhere KO because that would have put the fight in contention of one of the greatest of all time and straight out of a movie.

    No one has taken as much punishment the last year or so than Wilder.
    Might want to slow the **** way down for his long term health.

    Great fight despite a ref that really wanted to be part of the fight. At some point i really do hope they can make a Fury v Joshua at Wembley. An event that big would be a massive win for the sport.

    Gypsy King bandwagon fan. Clearly the better boxer, better conditioner and showmanship.

    Can't keep taking beatings while hoping to last 1 punch... Honestly his last 6 or 7 fights , he's taken beatings ..... Dude has an iron chin but no boxing acumen whatsoever... Take the money and sit down

    Would be much less appealing than Fury-Wilder, Joshua would get schooled and doesn't have the one-punch threat that made this trilogy so awesome.

    And I also don't see him beating Usyk unless he sacks his entire team and completely starts over.

    Feel like many boxers went into a coma or died from less blows, this was incredibly dangerous and the doc was a Muppet.

    I don't know how fury has such stamina being as fat as he is. I guess skills pay the bills. Wilder looked like he was trying to box the 1st round, but seemed to abandon it soon after.

    I was extremely impressed with Wilder's round1 as well, but it afterwards turned into a classic example of:

    Him and AJ always return to instincts once things don't go their way, it's what clearly separates them from the greats who stick to their plan or have the ability to intelligently adapt.

    Same way all the greats have a big tank. Calmness and skill.

    Can’t believe Wilder doesn’t do roadwork. I mean, I can believe it because he has zero stamina, but I can’t believe he doesn’t think he needs to run/jog during training.



    Even flabby Fury knows you have to run to fight.
