Tuned in for the last 3.5 rounds on your recommendation.Geez, Crawford is defending the welterweight belt in a fight with 2 undefeateds, and nobody is watching? And it's free? Man, boxing is getting killed by UFC/MMA.
National pride? UK gets behind its fighters more than we do here.I just watched Wilder's last fight. He's a very entertaining fighter. What I'm not getting is why he's playing relatively smaller venues and Joshua is filling stadiums.
I think this is at least a fight too early for Fury. His last couple of fights were essentially paid sparring. A big step up in class tonight.National pride? UK gets behind its fighters more than we do here.
Also, Joshua was a fun fighter to watch for awhile but has regressed.
Initially, I liked Fury tonight, but after watching him a bit more, he’s got a bit of a weak loopy jab, and he seems to like to fight inside more than use his length. He’s slippery as hell, and has great footwork for a heavyweight, but I don’t know that he has the discipline or modesty to avoid Wilder’s power for 36 minutes.
The hasn’t fought anyone thing is usually a canard in boxing nowadays because there really isn’t anyone, especially in the heavyweight division. There isn’t a Lyle, Frazier, Foreman and Shavers out there for him to beat.I think this is at least a fight too early for Fury. His last couple of fights were essentially paid sparring.

Has Wilder sort gone under the radar as a money fighter? Over here, the talk tended to be, good fighter, explosive puncher...but that he hasn't really fought anyone.
Yeah, i noticed that, i think it was at the start of the 8th round. The ref gave him a wee breather.The hasn’t fought anyone thing is usually a canard in boxing nowadays because there really isn’t anyone, especially in the heavyweight division.

He’s very amateurish. Wide looping punches, not great defense. It makes him fun to watch, but I think most purists have seen him as a sideshow. I’m not sure why the public hasn’t embraced an American heavyweight who is good on the mic. He beat Ortiz, who is good, but old, and frankly Ortiz might’ve had him if not for some shenanigans with the start of the round after Wilder went down.
I wouldnt count on them fighting. Anyone on DAZN network is probably not fighting anyone who isnt signed there long term.Yeah, i noticed that, i think it was at the start of the 8th round. The ref gave him a wee breather.
D'you think he beats Joshua? I think it's the glamour fight in a division where there's slim pickins in that department. I guess the Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis era was the last time the heavyweight division was exciting.
I think he obliterates Joshua. Joshua is pretty meh. Old ass Klitschko almost had him. Wilder probably does serious damage to him. As would Ortiz or Fury.Yeah, i noticed that, i think it was at the start of the 8th round. The ref gave him a wee breather.

Eh, I thought he lost his last fight.Im guessing 830-9ish
Rest in peace, Adonis. He had him hurt but too old to finish him and instead gets slept
Not implausbile, but damn he’s coming in light.I'm going for Wilder in 5 rounds.
I know but, like i said before i just think this is a fight too early for Fury. Too big a step up in class...i'm not sure he'll be up to Wilder's pace and energy. And i wasn't impressed with Fury's ring walk. And I loved Wilder's - love his outfit. I'd love to rock that shit.Not implausbile, but damn he’s coming in light.
The thing to remember is Wilder puts a lot of energy into his punches. Fury is very relaxed. Wilder is no doubt in better shape, but the extra oomph may even things out. Fury has been working out hard for a couple years straight.I know but, like i said before i just think this is a fight too early for Fury.

He’s a legit boxer. Very, very skilled.Fury's hand speed is faster than I expected
I have no idea how to score this.who are the refs for this? Any chance we get anything resembling a reasonable decision?
I'm surprised. For a big guy he can move. And he's not tiring so far.Fury has been twice as active, especially with the feints and head movement, but has much more gas.
He’s just so relaxed. Barely expends any energy even with all that movement. And he’s a very, very good boxer. Best boxer at pure heavyweight since Ali maybe. Just ironically doesn’t have the power.I'm surprised. For a big guy he can move. And he's not tiring so far.
