Great fight. Fury is cementing his place in heavyweight boxing history, he’s got to be up there with the all time greats now.

Fight of the year contender.
Looked like Fury was gone at one point. Credit to Wilder, showed amazing heart and could have won.
But what can you say, Fury is an unbelievable boxer. The extra power he has gained is really impressive.

Surely the closest to Ali in modern boxing
Well that was one of the best fights I've seen in years.
Joshua knocks Wilder out IMO and easily too. Fury’s volume over power allowed Wilder to survive longer than e should have imo.
wilder literally didn’t box for 3/4 of that fight and just took shots to the point his ability to get beaten up is being praised
yeah they shoulda all just boxed the head off each other for a few years. They couldn't, fury and wilder boxed the head of each other three time while josh lost hist belts twice, says it all
He’s not a bad singer you know
Fury vs Usyk unification bout next year?
Tbf wilder took Fury because Fury looked like easy prey. Then he lost and was in too deep.
Fury.
Even though they never fought a few years back, it would still be a good fight imo.
well done fury, he's a machince
I beg to fecking differ after that mate
I wouldn't like to eat some of those haymakers. Wilder looked fecked.Credit to Wilder. Thought he was done most of the rounds but he kept coming back. Great fight
not getting involved in that nonsenseTbf wilder took Fury because Fury looked like easy prey. Then he lost and was in too deep.
It depends on how long that list is. He isn't even in the conversation with Lewis, Tyson, Ali, or Foreman.
I don't know how much punch resistance this fight has taken out of him (he's shaving years of his life/career with these kind of damaging contests), but you can say for certain Joshua would have to match his stamina and endurance and resilience, which we've seen no evidence Johsua has the kind of chin we've seen from both of these guys tonight.
I don't think he's got the heart or resistance for a fight like this with either of them.

Tyson doing his best Marc Cohn impression. 
Not that bad to be fair.

Fury had me worried a few times but he showed his dominance again in the end. Great fight though.
What a fight, thoroughly enjoyed that!
Wilder sounds like a dick. Jesus
Well worth staying up for. Both for us watching it and for Wilder earning some respect for getting as far as he did.
Yep, you’ve nailed it on the head
Well that was entertaining. Fury made it harder for himself by nearly getting knocked out.
Good Lord, Wilder needs a stun gun to the temple to be put down. He’s like a zombie. Credit to him but he’s probably got himself brain damage with that type of punishment.
Not a very technical fight but my word… were you not entertained? Glad I stayed up for this.

Deontay Wilder is trash as a boxer and as a human. Garbage sportsmanship.
Brutally exposed for the third time and deserves nothing.
Fury - lost for words. What a fighter.

Love Fury! What a guy!
Great fight and yet again, a well deserved win by the Gypsy King.

Wilder coming back like the Undertaker time and time.
poor sportsmanship from him though.

What did Wilder say this time?
Wilder doesn't come across well. His behaviour is sometimes less than completely classy.
Needs more than just a single solitary belt first.
Exactly! His weight gain was a disaster and he reverted to type about 1 and a half rounds in. He didn’t show any improvement as a boxer and the fight should have been stopped long before it was. I’m not seeing where this praise is coming from. Fury doesn’t dominate any other top HW like this because Wilder is so technically poor.
I just think if he was a big hitter that really sat down on shots it's never going that far despite the impressive finish. If you think about somebody like Klitschko, Lewis, Wilder himself, a Tyson, Foreman, any big heavyweight hitter it ends a lot earlier. Wilder looked spent after 3 or 4 so to go that long at heavyweight is unusual. It was worse for Wilder taking a beat down like that than just getting starched. That's a career ender, potentially.I beg to fecking differ after that mate
It's not a criticism because everything he does is superb it's just never been Fury's forte as he was a mover and he's only recently transferred to this aggressive style.
Yeah I know what you mean. Wilder has a good chin to be fair to him, some of those shots would have put most HWs down.
You're bias is showing and you're not being objective. Wilder quite clearly stuck to, and executed, the plan perfectly until he gassed; Fury is the best heavyweight on the planet and had to work out what was going on where other boxers mightn't have gotten the chance. Once Wilder was tired, he reverted to type, which is to be expected as he's then fighting on instinct, but you can't just throw out how he started the fight and how he was until the tank flagged.
The weight gain backfired, but the strategy he came in with was winning him rounds, initially. A fighter like Fury is going to work it out and he's a better fighter than Wilder, so it should always logically then only go one way (if Fury didn't have so much animosity and want to K.O. Wilder ASAP); there's more garnered about Wilder in this fight than any other he's had as a fighter.
I woke up and missed half of the fight but did find it odd that the commentators we heaping praise on Wilder yet when they showed punches landed, Fury landed twice as many.
Of course it helps in one boxing match but being able to take so many punches and stay on your feet can't be a good thing.
Back to sleep now and hopefully the full fight is on BT Sports youtube when I'm up.

Brutal
Ditto. Wilder getting praised for being beaten up again, by a weak puncher no less.
Absolutely terrible boxer.
He stayed in there because Fury doesn’t have a big punch, it’d have been lights out early doors against the likes of Wlad.
it must suck never losing and then losing 3 times in a row.
Fury went over to his corner to show some sportsmanship and Wilder told him to go away. Left the ring shortly afterwards without an interview.
Yep. His whole career is based on fighting tomato cans and using his devastating single punch KO power to make up for his deficiencies. I think he beats AJ though.
