What a legend. Lineal Sauna Champion.
What a legend. Lineal Sauna Champion.
Easily my favourite sportsmen.
He should get right back into the homophobia now he's got credit in the bank.
He's actually nuts.
There is some weird strain of evangelism amongst the gypos that he's right into, and when he first got a bit of prominence (and went mental) he was coming up with all sorts of lol quotes about women and paedophiles and that. He's probably saving the heel turn for the Anthony Joshua build-up.
It's crazy. He shuts AJ down too. That fight is easier on paper than Wilder.
That reminded of McGregor-Diaz, in that Wilder got hit with one on the first round that just seemed to take everything out of him.
The post-fight from wilder sounded interesting . he mentioned some personal stuff or something. No excuses sir.
Fury
Backed up all his chat 100%. Wilder looked dead from about round 4. Impressive commitment to the cause from the ref to try to start docking points, was never going to work mate.
Fury now has two legendary dethronings with Wlad and Wilder.
I don't care about boxing and I despise Fury, but the injection of seething American bad losers into my twitter algorithm has been Ryder Cup esque, a true thrill.
Oooff.
Mate.
His post career documentary's going to be more disturbing than Mike Tyson's.
Wilders trainer stated that potentially, his outfit which was great by the way,May have been too heavy and caused massive fatigue.
The commentator on the stream I had was going right into 'HE'S TASTING HIS BLOOD!', when really he will have just been calling him a fanny and taunting him.
AJ is lucky to see out the first round against Fury. Luckily for him it'll never happen.
Watching it now (I have had the result spoiled though), Wilder lost by coming out in that gimpy costume.
And I'm done.
Fury was absolutely brilliant throughout the fight. Seems that the hit that burst his ear drum was huge, really fucked Wilder up.
He absolutely destroys AJ if they do fight.

Would Fury / Joshua be that one sided? Genuine question, I don't watch any of it and am clueless.
I think people underestimate Joshua now. They say he looked poor on the inside against Ruiz again (which he did), but I think that was as much to do with him being terrified to get in there as he knew it was the only way he could lose, as it was anything else. He's a more complete fighter than Wilder and let's not forget he KO'd Wlad in a right old tear up. I still think Fury wins as he's a more complete package, but I wouldn't see it being a walkover. Wilder probably runs him closer next time as I think he's gone into this massively underestimating him and basically been ambushed. Once things start going downhill in the heavyweight division it's almost impossible to right the ship even if you are lucky punch knockout merchant.
Hopefully Fury just lols his way through the division. No rematch clauses. I want to see the battle of the fat men Ruiz Jr v Fury.

Just finished the fight and it may have been a little bit different if Wilder didn't burst his ear drum. Fury is magnificent though. I'd love to see the match up with Joshua.
I think Fury would get into Joshua's head which would make him fight the fight Fury wants. Then he should outbox him (would anyway). Joshua has the dig though so be an interesting match up.
I rated 'AJ' but the absolute shit show he had against Ruiz in the first match has marked him out as a bit of a fraud. Anyone can get knocked out by a lucky punch, so great boxers can lose, but he was completely out-boxed. Nobody that loses that easily to an emergency back-up stands a chance against someone like Fury.
It should also be pointed out that the Klitschko that 'AJ' beat was a very different animal to the one that tucked David Haye and his poorly toe into bed. He was a long way past his best.
I also like how he said he didn't want to make any excuses for losing the fight in the post-fight interview and then listed a load of excuses.
That one is lol though.
Surely that wasn't the first time he put it on the costume...
How heavy would it have to be before it became a legit excuse and not just a straw being clutched at?
Its not like he is built like some frail schoolboy. He is a 230-pound sculptured African Mandingo. These excuses are embarrassing.
He could have sought Triple Haitch out for advice.
Short of gobbing all over his wife I think he covered all the bases.
Hunter would have gone fifty minutes (half of it on his arse) and arranged a Wladimir Klitschko run-in.
I wonder if people still run with "the Dog ate my homework"
What an absolute bellend. He appears to be claiming that his corner are under strict instructions to never throw the towel in too, which is also ridiculous. This isn't Rocky IV mate. Nobody is here to see you get the Apollo Creed treatment. Grow up.
Fury absolutely nailed it Saturday night. Clinical. It's a little bit awe-inspiring when you see a big man get it that right. The combination of movement and throwing his hands that well, scary stuff when it all comes together. I saw some ringside footage from one of the knockdowns and it both looked and sounded absolutely brutal.
I've almost zero interest in a third because (a motivated) Fury just does the exact same again. Wilder would need to make some serious adjustments to his style to compete (i.e. have more going for him than just a jackhammer of a right hand) and I don't think he's young enough or open-minded enough to make those adjustments. It's still going to happen though, isn't it.
Once Fury got that clean shot and busted his ear open his equilibrium was too fucked to get any power behind any of his punches and, as a one trick pony, that was all she wrote.
It was almost uncomfortable the last few rounds because Wilder was clearly going through the motions at best. Corner did the right thing, unfortunately for him.
Fury did exactly what he needed to do. Bell rung and Fury literally sprinted at Wilder, probably throwing him off entirely from the get go. Once he got Wilder on his back foot it was roses.
I'd love to see AJ-Fury, which is ironic considering I feel like two years ago Wilder-AJ was going to be the most hyped fight of all time.
Hopefully, Fury stays composed because we all know what happened when he was on top of the world after defeating a reigning champion
'Tears'll be rolling out of his eyes like marrowfat peas.'
Take it to the bank.
Let a big gyippo spark you out.
I reckon he could probably beat you up Bam.
The laugh about 4:40 in genuinely set me off.
Dillian is a TOP lad. I wasn't a fan of him until he went on Celebrity Masterchef.
Tyson Fury may have cheated they are now saying. His glove was flapping around like the lips on the underneath of Giggles missus
Lol at Wilder sacking his corner man.
Well he's right, how dare the guy try and stop him from getting seriously hurt.
He was only bleeding from his ear and having trouble staying on his feet. Barely a scratch.
