StillUnknown Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 That was thorough If Fury takes care of himself in the interim, the 3rd fight should go the same way. Fury has been known to be inconsistent with his fight prep. As for Wilder, he was always going to be lesser boxer at this stage of his career, when the right doesnt land, this is what you get. Carrying 270lbs in clinches is taxing. He never truly recovered from that equlibrium shot. He gave it what he could, just wasnt his night at all. Interested to see how he bounces back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhd24 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Lewis and Andre Ward were solid on commentary. However, I miss HBO/Showtime. Their presentation is miles better. Paulie is the best commentator in boxing. Lampley may be biased, but he had chemistry with Roy Jones and Max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the only reason either of those two fighters are still fighting, they’re both independently wealthy. At least I hope they are. If they think it will sell well, then they have to do it. That said, Fury has beaten Wilder twice now. The draw set up a fun rematch but Wilder was out boxed badly in the first fight and caught a beating in the second. There’s really no reason to expect a third fight to go any differently. I’d probably watch it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhd24 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Max is really biased and has selective memory. On the post fight show, he's saying that Fury was robbed in the first fight (which he was). BUT. he said this after the first fight: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilder cant survive a straight boxing match with Fury, it's obvious now the first fight was a boxing match and Wilder survived, and almost killed him in the closing seconds. the dynamics of the fight wont change, but I dont subscribe to Wilder having no shot at all. the only variable is how does Wilder respond to that ass-kicking. fighters usually go one of two ways after that, not alot of middle ground after a beatdown like that Edited February 24, 2020 by StillUnknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I much rather would've preferred him getting knocked out. The way that went down and now this stuff, makes things very awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 How quick into the fight was Wilder bleeding out of his ear because I wonder if he had a ruptured ear drum from a Fury punch? He seemed wobbly on his legs almost the entire fight, like he was off balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely understand why Wilder feels that way, but his corner did the absolute right thing. It would be a terrible message to send if Wilder does dismiss him for that reason. It could have cascading effect of other corners in the game scared to save their fighter from themselves because they need the work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Oh no you're right, they absolutely should've stopped it. I'm just saying in a vacuum, it would've been better had he just got knocked out. That's really always been my view towards TKO's in general. They always leave little to no doubt, where as you can always catch a well timed/lucky hit in a split second of miscalculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksun247 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 12 minutes ago, StillUnknown said: boxing rarely surprises me, but blaming a defeat on your pre-fight garb being too heavy is a new one He did go all out. He had a similar outfit for the Ortiz fight. Maybe, he should just stick to the mask and robe. As for the trilogy, he loses again unless he lands a well timed shot. Fury ate a few rights from him early and they didn't seem to affect him. Wilder needs to drop back down to a more natural weight for him. Firing Breland would be DUMB!!! He has a better resume and is a better boxer than Wilder could ever hope to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Do Itch Big Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 From what I read. His eardrum wasn’t busted. He had a cut in his ear that required 6 stitches. He got his ass beat. 40 lbs. that ain’t ****. I carried more than that when I was born. Come on Wilder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
