Like I said. Not by impressive on the casual eyes but technically 1 of the all time greats.
A freak of nature.

The corner made the right decision. Wilder was in a bad way, blood coming from the ear is never a good sight.
Fury upped it big time from the first fight, you could see the training & small changes they made worked. Great to see Andy Lee so prominent in his set up.

After 3 rounds, Wilder looked like he'd fought 12 he looked that tired. His balance is bad at the best of times so he was always going to struggle with the burst ear drum.
Great game plan and execution by Fury and his team. Wilder has 30 days to demand a rematch.

Without a doubt, plenty of other big pay days ahead of him.

Wilder would be crazy to demand an immediate rematch. Has to take time off, flatten a few cans and then come back swinging.
Hearn can't weasel himself out of the Fury fight anymore. He doesn't give a sh*t about UK fans either only money so will try and get the oil diggers to pay up and do everything to get the fight on there. Would be a crime if its not in Wembley.

He can and he can't - Whyte is the mandatory challenger under Hearn's stable so you're technically right but not under the impression you're hoping for. I read an article there was a rematch clause for a 3rd fight but that's never been confirmed.

What a display from fury. He had an answer for everything, Wilder did not. I actually had a concern for wilder’s health watching that. His team did the right thing throwing in the towel in the 7th, although he sounded ok after the fight.
Gyspy king, what a bloody legend. Great post-fight as well, he is box office

His team said no busted ear drum and it was a small cut on the ear. He was wobbling because he was rocked. Fury smashed him.

Fury is only 31 so could dominate the division for a number of years....IF he wants too and only he will decide.
They need to take a break before Fury v Wilder #3 which I’m sure will happen. I’d like to see Fury take on AJ first. I think Joshua has a much better chance v Wilder tho. Be good to see this fight too.

There's zero chance of Whyte taking a money fight in place of his challenger spot.
Even Fury labelled Whyte as Hearn's puppet bitch for taking easier fights instead of rematching AJ which he's been entitled to in the past. More interestingly Pulev is managed by Top Rank (same promoter as Fury) if the unthinkable happens then every Heavyweight belt will be gone from Hearn's stable, what a scenario

Super performance from Fury, literally boxed the ears off Wilder. He beats Joshua now for me and I wouldn't have said that a few years back. He's very good technically even though he looks awkward. Echo the props for Andy Lee's involvement in the set up. That performance had the great Manny Steward's fingerprints all over it.

I've always gotten the impression that his head trainer (Jays Deas) was a complete and utter spoofer and yesterday confirmed. He's criticising the assistant (Marc Breland) for throwing in the towel, which everyone else seems to be in agreement that it was the right thing to do. No need for Wilder to take any more unnecessary punishment.

WBC title holder has until February 2021 to fight Dillian Whyte regardless when it was won etc.
Joshua has 2 mandatory fights against Pulev and Uysk - The latter Hearn is keen to avoid as he'll probably fold Joshua in half. Fury has 3 fights on his contract, a possible rematch clause with Wilder if he exercises it and a mandatory against Whyte. Unless alot of hush money is paid off for the #1 challengers to drop their mandatory challenges, timeframe wise Fury v Joshua won't happen until Fall 2021.

Fury said in an interview I was listening to earlier that he will do two more this year and one at the start of next year. The interview was from before the fight though not sure if that makes a difference.
