To say i'm excited would be an understatement, there's nothing like a big heavyweight clash such as this. If you ain't interested, you bloody should be!!! A tough one to call really. Tyson never manages to get fit enough, always looks like he's come straight from the pub. A shame for a man is such a position, you'd think being world champion would be sufficient motivation to train hard. Especially when it only takes one punch potentially from a man like Wilder. Obviously Tyson is twice the boxer, though, as the British fighters usually are.
Ps I'd put my money on Tyson's Dad John in a fight with either of them.
Pps for those who don't already know, Tyson is actually decended from Bartley Gorman and Uriah Burton, two of our most famous bare knuckle legends. This is Bartley Gorman, a beautiful clip of a tough man...

Just watched the highlights - wow - Fury absolutely destroys him. But Wilder's corner didn't really protect him, that fight was over in the 5th. Wouldn't imagine Wilder has much appetite for the 2nd rematch, apart from the purse. Should be Fury v AJ next, but no one's going to want to take on Fury right now.
As with all these things, you hope he’s being well managed and advised, and we don’t read a heart wrenching story of exploitation further down the line.
For now...good on him!!
'Always In Motion' by John Honney available on amazon.co.uk
I watched the fight and was shouting at the TV for Wilder's corner to pull him out in the 5th. His eardrum was shattered, his jaw was shattered, his ribs were broken. He was just bravely standing there on instinct. Once Fury found that left ear and jaw of Wilder he must have hit it 20 times by round 5. Terrible management by Wilder's corner as Wilder was very seriously hurt and he could barely stand up.
As for Fury, hats off. Have never seen him fight like that. I thought he would pick Wilder of at range and avoid the right hand. He did exactly what he said he would do, he beat up the bully. Absolutely destroyed him. It was all over from round 3 but from mid round 5 there was a huge risk to Wilder's health and that was difficult to watch.
If you are AJ you look at that and wonder how on earth to fight Fury. The only way is out of range but if he lets Fury come at him then the same fate awaits him. Fury has proven he can not only out box the best, take their best shot, but also completely physically dominate them.
I am fearful for Wilder. He comes across as a good guy. Clearly a big hitter but there must be a question as to the extent of damage to his ear and eardrum. It exploded in the 7th. Not sure you can box after such damage. May be it for him. I wouldn't take the 3rd fight if I was him. He's a rich man. If he does Fury will find that ear again in the first round and he'll be in terrible trouble.

Wilder has 30 days to activate the re-match clause. He needs to recover and reflect with his family for a couple of weeks before making a decision. For the sake of his health I hope he doesn't take up the option but the vast sums on offer may prove difficult to resist.
As for AJ, I see Eddie Hearn has called Fury's camp out. Time will tell if AJ seriously wants this fight or if Hearn is simply talking big because he suspects Fury-Wilder 3 is on the cards.

Phenomenal performance, bullies the bully. Pretty much every half decent fighter wilder has faced has outboxed him till they’ve been detonated, but that’s the first time anyone has full on beaten him up. Joshua is a much better boxer than Wilder, though doesn’t have the one punch power Wilder possesses. Will be a different ball game, but hard to make Fury anything other than favourite after last night.
If not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled. PG Wodehouse
I fancied Fury to win but I never thought i'd see a performance like that, he was out of this world, one of the best performances I've seen since Lennox Lewis was in his prime. He won every second of that fight and seemed to have plenty left in the tank.
Hopefully thy put on the AJ v Fury fight, I think Fury wins that but what an occasion that would be

yep, I was asked at work how I saw it, I said fury ko in the 7th, for once I got something right! wonder what the odds were? great fight, fury goes to the top of a few lists now, wilder was gone from the 3rd but looked worried from the off...anyone notice him clutching his wrist from the 4th? fell badly or injured? whatever fury was top class from the get go. Britain rules the heavyweights.

I thought I saw fear in his eyes from the start.
I think it should have been stopped in the 5th or before, maybe lasting damage to his ear and health.

Yes, a top bloke there is so much to like about him. That was a nasty beating today, don't see him wanting any part of that rematch, Tyson is a level above. Full credit for Wilder, i think the likes of David Haye or the Klitshkos would have been staying down and getting out of there after the first couple of rounds, at least he gave it everything he had. Tyson just a different class.

No wonder Wilder looked knackered given the size and weight of the gear he wore into the ring! Fair play to Fury who took advantage of a poor Wilder. AJ is a different prospect. Fury will not be able to land similar bombs on AJ as he did to Wilder. His weaknesses as discovered by Wilder in the first fight is he can be floored and given his preference to be on the front foot he will give AJ a few chances to knock him out. Also, will he fight AJ at his current weight?

I don’t see why not.
However I doubt we’ll get to find out for a long time while Hearn tells the world the real excitement is in Joshua v Povetkin completing a trilogy and moaning that Fury was only offering him half the purse when he deserves 99.9%.

On the other hand, Ruiz showed that AJ can be dropped and you wouldn’t bet against Fury doing the same if he shows the aggression he put on Wilder.
It’ll be interesting to see how both Fury and AJ approach the fight. I suspect it’ll be much cagier from both fighters.
Not that I’m expecting the fight to happen any time soon. I reckon summer 2021 at the earliest.

chisora fights uysk soon, big launch for either...chisora will let uysl know if he really is a heavy. dubois is a while away from world shots but tasty. whyte will be banging on every door for his shot, povetkin may fancy one last hurrah, there's talk of wladimir wanting to return, wilder isn't over, joe parker may fancy his chances too....could be a great era if they get it on.

He's actually seriously used that as his excuse!!!
"Fury didn't hurt me at all, but the simple fact is that my uniform was way too heavy for me,"
They've fought 19 rounds now and Tyson has probably won about 17 of them...

Just watched the full 7 rounds. Undoubtedly a great fight by Fury but can't help feeling that Wilder was as poor as Fury was impressive. The excuse of the costume is ridiculous but I'd actually like to see a 3 and it looks like that's gonna happen as Wilder is already saying he wants to invoke the 3peat clause in his contract. That should, in theory, be the best fight of the 3.
Somebody asked the question earlier in the thread about where Fury stands in the list of heavyweight greats but unfortunately nobody has answered yet. Would be interesting to hear points of view from followers of the noble art....

Without a doubt the best heavyweight this country has produced imo.
And before anyone mentions Lewis, Lewis was produced in Canada
