I wasn't going to watch this but something made me PPV it. Glad I did. Been a lot better fight than I thought it would. Tremendous heart by Wilder. he's copping plenty here.

It was the best undercard I've seen in years tbh. One of the few recent cards that's actually worth the PPV.

**** me that 10th round was ah-mazing. How the **** did Wilder finish it stronger?

Wilder has been amazing given he was out on his feet after the 6th round. Some heart.

 

[Burgey]

And there is it. Terrific fight. Wilder couldn't have done much more. He's very limited defensively but put on a great show.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Wow, some finish.

 

[hendrix]

Wilder is a ridiculous physical specimen. He was out on his feet since round 2.

 

[Niall]

Yeah some fight.

Wilder has his money made, but hopefully we get some fights from him, he v ruiz, whyte would be good fun.

The real question is what Fury does. That's the first defense of his belt. Does he fight his mandatories? Lots of different styles in the top 10.

Whyte is fighting Wallin (which is a fight he could seriously lose) and the winner of that fight becomes the mandatory for Fury.

Well deserved win for Fury in the end but fmd I wanna see that count Fury took again.

He would wipe the floor with White, hope he fights Usyk but think he won't fight him yet.

If Fury fights that recklessly against Usyk, he will get carved up

Looked dodgy, think he was ok as he was getting up but it was still slow. Don't think he wouldn't have made it but he used the full 13/14 seconds the ref gave him.

These ****ing god botherers never thank Jesus for giving them strength when they get sat on their arse.

I don't want to see Fury v Whyte, but if Whte has a dominant win then its very easy fight to market and Tyson might consider it easy money.

I dunno if he is really keen to fight Usyk at all sadly.

He could also go on a break and pray Joshua beats Usyk in rematch and then next summer he v Joshua for fortunes.

Can't see him fighting till next summer whoever it is, he may be happy to wait for that rematch to fight Joshua as he'd take him apart.

Agree. Whyte is a shot fighter and his chin is gone, and was never much good to begin with. Still, hard to deny that he's earned a shot.

There's interesting guys hungry guys out there. Even sore someone like Frank Sanchez (a bit soporific but skilled), Michael Hunter (good mover), Joe Joyce (always looks rubbish but can't deny the tank and the resume), etc etc.

Wilder got his gloves up to defend once in the last 3 rounds. But threw some serious heat. Wafg

Even AJ knows how to time a guy coming in like that, and can get off the line of a straight right, and won't get beaten up on the inside like that.

 

[hendrix]

Why are these moronic UK commentators just completely overlooking Usyk.

 

[Burgey]

Who was the real blow hard Yank on the coverage at the end sitting next to the Pommy bird? Christ he was awful, I didn't really catch it but could here the over-emphasis ON EVERY SINGLE WORD from the next room.
