Tyson Fury versus Deontay Wilder - The Closer - End Of!
After two incredible fights which saw Fury lose on points to Wilder in the first clash, before demolishing him in Vegas under a barrage of excuses by Wilder. Either that his costume he wore into the ring was too heavy or that Fury cheated with rabbit punches and finally that his ring side team shouldn't have thrown the towel in, despite probably saving his life, this was going to be the closer, and what a fight it would be.
Some commentators were even calling it the GOAT!
If you want to copy the links for all 3 fights then here they are:
With Fury's potential next fight against Anthony Joshua getting tossed up into the air just a week before due to his loss, the fight in Vegas to end the Fury v Wilder trilogy may not lead to a unification fight but it would still be a great fight to watch between two great UK boxers.
Whether AJ has the skill to train and then beat Usyk before Tyson retires I don't know but you can watch the fight between AJ and Usyk here, and comment on whether you think AJ will have a rematch or go for a fight with Fury instead.
Despite AJ losing to Usyk we have at least one UK heavyweight champion, as once again Tyson Fury managed to beat Deotany Wilder in the ring at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Both men went to the ground in what some commentators were calling the best heavyweight fight of the century. In a truly unbelievable third round, Fury dropped Wilder before being dropped two times himself.
And the Bronze Bomber would be knocked to the ground four times before eventually succumbing to defeat in the 11th round before being taken to hospital.
Wilder had certainly improved his skills since being demolished in the 2nd fight, but he still was relying on his strong bomb which worked a couple of times but Fury was the much better boxer taking Wilder to the floor as well with more skill and conventional boxing, and there could no claims of cheating by the Wilder fans after this fight. No heavy walk on suit to be blamed and no towel thrown in by his corner, he was laid out in round 11 and the fight was stopped by the referee.

The Aftermath
Immediately Wilder left the ring and was taken to hospital which was a shame, as it would have been nice to see these two warriors congratulate each other after what has been a brilliant trilogy of fights over the last couple of years. I am sure if the positions were reversed Fury would have gone over to congratulate Wilder, as that is the sort of man he is.
He even praised Wilder in the interview and his wished him all the best, something I doubt Wilder would have done in the same position.
So it was a shame not to see these two fighters who had 3 dramatic fights, and nearly going 12 rounds in their last put any differences aside and just hug like we have seen fighters do so many times before. Forgetting all the promotional trash talk and just congratulate each other for being warriors in the ring.
Whatever you think of Wilder not shaking hands after 3 great fights, Fury did pay homage to his worthy opponent and a transformed boxer from the 2nd fight.
Tyson Fury roared:
"Like the great John Wayne said I am made from pig, iron and steel baby!"I was down a couple of times and hurt and Wilder is a tough man too after he got up a few times too."It was a great fight tonight, worthy of any trilogy in the sport, I always said I am the first best and he is second.
"But I went over to show love and respect and he didn’t want it to so I will pray for him"
The Questions....
The question is, whether or not Anthony Johnson after just losing all his belts to Oleksandr Usyk by unanimous decision just a week before the Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder fight will have regained them in time for an all UK re-unification title fight or whether Fury will have to fight Usyk instead.
Who would like to see Fury fight next?
Should he wait until AJ has a rematch and possibly reclaims his belts or just fight Usyk instead?
Or should he just fight AJ in what would be a great UK heavyweight fight in our country for once?
Finally like some of the commentators, did you think this was the GOAT, or the best heavyweight fight of the 21st century?
Let me know in the comments.
Good fight
ReplyDeleteI always said Tyson was the better boxer, but you go in the Boxing chat rooms and it seems anyone who is black just cannot admit it, they all love Wilder, whatever he does, whether he sacks his whole corner for saving his life or for blaming his suit being too heavy in fight no 2. Fight no 3 was the decider, both went down, great fight it was.
ReplyDeleteThat was an eplic battle both fighters had a real fight, shame Wilder is such a prick he couldn't congratulate Fury, Fury showed what a man he was by saying good things about Wilder despite him getting blanked by him at the end of the fight, shows how us Brits can have a good punch up, and be mates afterwsrdsm that's usually how we make friends at school, have a row and then become mates/
ReplyDeleteFury was the man, he showed that he could put the feud between him and Wilder behind him at the end, Wilder was just a sore loser, again, yet still his fans will call him the GOAT despite his lack in boxing skills.
