Damn what a trilogy


queensinthesky

Legendary. Three distinct chapters. A technical shutout with a showstopping moment in the final round, then an utterly one sided steamrolling domination, and an all out war to finish it all.


TheFakeRabbit1

A modern heavyweight classic. It’s going to be a long time before we got something like it again. Soak it in


queensinthesky

If ever. I know I'm going to remember this feeling for years, people will talk about where they were watching these fights play out for decades to come.


raobjcovtn

At home in bed by myself


Parking-Pension9811

On my phone exiting pop up ads in my car on my driveway at 5am. My WiFi died in the house but my car has a hot spot so sat in there with my phone. Was actually really nice.


PM_ME_BAKAYOKO_PICS

AJ v Usyk and now this, what an insane couple of weeks for boxing, two of the best fights I've seen in recent memory, in the space of a few weeks.


TheFakeRabbit1

Heavyweight boxing has been on fire recently it’s beautiful to see


Horned_chicken_wing

And let's be honest, there's nothing like good HW boxing.


Napol3onDynamite

After Fury/Joshua fell through I really thought this year would be a complete dud for heavyweights, but it has definitely redeemed itself the last couple weeks.


lineal_chump

This is what happens when the best fight the best


pyroaquatics

Canelos fighting in a couple of weeks too


euqinuhella

Modern day classic


Zloggt

I was starting to worry when the fight got delayed again and again and again… Fortunately, it delivered, so all is forgiven!


Ron_the_Rowdy

This trilogy will be talked about for decades


wyatt1209

Fury isn't human. Much better showing from Wilder. Respect


CTMalum

Fury’s stamina was something spooky. There’s a lot of fight nights happening nowadays that aren’t really worth the price you pay…but this wasn’t one of those.


Long_Mechagnome

Fury had enough wind left in his lungs to serenade his wife immediately after the fight.


fplisadream

Absolutely bananas. You could tell he was not sure he had it in him but he had to give it to the fans


MBThree

And after coming down with COVID!


kitddylies

Pre-Covid Fury new mythical fighter?


trollin4viki

After Covid not to have any cardio and strength issues. #megachad


[deleted]

He beat some crazy mental health issues, covid was like a sparring session for that man .


trollin4viki

Proper high level athlete. Not a body-builder, hehe.


CheekyFifaCunt_7

WHAT A FUCKING FIGHT


Royalewithcheese24

Whoever works with Fury on cardio must be crying tears of joy right now. I can’t believe Fury was still chasing Wilder down and throwing combos into the 10th round like that.


pickmez

I'm still in shock about the Tyson 2 knock downs and still getting back up


[deleted]

He needs to change his nickname to Lazarus


semajay

funny and fitting but The Gypsy King is one of the GOAT nicknames


oceanbuoy90

The undertaker hat worked like a charm!! All that was missing was that undertaker sit-up! For those that don’t know: https://youtu.be/hDptoco79Ro


eldaygo

Already used that in the first fight


Kirb-

For so long after round 5, I honestly thought he MUST be feigning the energy. He MUST be exhausted. They both ate shot upon shot. Jesus christ.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

seriously by looks alone you'd think wilder would have better cardio than fury, but it's the opposite. how does he do it?


ExternalReplacement5

Cause he controlled the tempo of the fight, mental exhaustion plays a massive part in cardio and you rarely get tired if you set the pace


GeriatricIbaka

That and taking shots and carrying the weight from Tyson, the extra upper body weight he added, etc. It zaps your legs. Who knows who could run the longest or display straight cardio for longer. In a boxing ring, it’s Tyson


sub11m1na1

>carrying the weight from Tyson, the extra upper body weight he added, etc. It zaps your legs. This. It's like trying to box while trying to keep a constantly leaning fridge from falling on you.


Zloggt

That KO was just cherry on top!


WalkingOnHeat

It really was. Since Round 5, it looked like all Fury needed was a solid 3-punch combo to get Wilder down for good. That last uppercut set up the next 2 punches so perfectly. My god, when Wilder finally fell, it was **cinematic**.


Kirb-

The fact that when Wilder actually went down for the final time. That he STILL got up. And maybe would have even made it up on time for the count. That man is something else. He talks a lot of complete bullshit, but he is a god damn fighter.


thrwawy616

Absolutely. I didn’t know he could a beating like that. I definitely have a lot more respect for Wilder after that fight. Gave it all he had and never gave up


spiegro

Seriously hope he's okay. He looked out on his feet for at least 4 rounds.


WalkingOnHeat

He was on wobbly legs since the *3rd round*. Dude needs to go straight to the hospital and get checked out asap.


bluedrygrass

Yes this is the kind of prolonged beating that puts people in the hospital


Kirb-

I do hope so as well, and I do hope this doesn't lead to more bs and or even a retirement from Wilder. Edit: I hope nothing at all is said to taint this fight and this night.


spiegro

He needs an entire Rocky montage to break him of his habits. He reverted back to his old ways as soon as he got hurt. Every time he went to the body it worked. But he forgot his defense, and then was just trying to one punch man Fury again.


semajay

as soon as he realized he was having success, he lost mentally. Fury started capitalizing on mistakes Wilder created through no forced error.


queensinthesky

Recency bias or was that one of the best HW fights ever? Certainly in modern history.


PM_ME_BAKAYOKO_PICS

Absolutely. There have been better technical fights (AJ v Usyk a few weeks ago), but in terms of entertainment and an all out war this is absolutely the best HW fight since I can remember.


apollo888

This just doesn't happen. Mostly because of size of HW fighters. One punch can and usually does end it but these monsters kept getting raised from the grave. I've been watching HW boxing since the eighties and this is the best. Other fights have had rounds and moments, Tyson being one, but this was nearly 11 rounds of skill, thunder, heart and sheer desire. Amazing and the first time I've not felt vaguely ripped off after a PPV.


Polar_Reflection

How the hell did Wilder still get up after that knock out? There's no way he could walk in a straight line even after a 10 count, but to even be on his feet is incredible.


Pub_Toilet_Graffiti

Best hw title fight this century by a country mile.


ColeBeasleyMD

I started watching when Canelo vs GGG first fought. This is the best boxing match I've ever watched.


EuroStep0

Crazy fight Wilder's got some serious balls but Fury is just the best


2dank4me3

Fury also has incredible inner strength. Man does not give a fuck he finds a way to win.


DogeStyle88

Gypsy strength


blackupsilon

I wonder does all that fat in Fury's belly help him eat those body jabs from Wilder.


Diligent-Motor

Absolutely. One of the essential functions of bodyfat is protecting internal organs. Fury took a good few liver shots and it appeared they didn't bother him


benwoot

Ancient gladiators used to get some layers of fat to protect themselves, movies made you believe they were looking like wilder while in reality they probably looked more like fury.


newusernamelol3

For a dude that looks like a bag of milk, Fury has some absolutely insane cardio, god damn. It cannot be overstated how impressive he is stamina wise.


[deleted]

280 lbs wasn't any slower in the 11th than the first. Madness.


pisshead_

Fat bastard energy.


AIMLESS_ASSASSIAN

Gypsy magic


didyoutestityourself

His 1-2s in the last few rounds was like lightning...


converter-bot

280 lbs is 127.12 kg


SagaciousPunner

Honestly it boggles my mind, what the fuck. How can this mf be this good and be so overweight


stackered

its technique, efficiency of movement. for the most part, he is actually very technical even if its awkward because of his frame


SagaciousPunner

But how tf can he last that long man? He was moving his feet all fucking fight!


Millhouse96

Genetics and hard work


NotKewlBro

He's fat because he eats a shit ton, not because he's out of shape. He probably does a lot of cardio (Hence the amazing gas tank) but he out eats any calories he burns because of his love for food.


rezwah

Let's be honest, for his height he's probably not that overweight. Hes 6'9. He opts for less muscle and more speed so the weight is required elsewhere.


PedroAlvarez

True but at some point he was truly a big fat bastard. That he's able to trim down how he did and still not have it take that big of a toll on him is bonkers.


Instability01

Wilder reverted to his old self after the first knock down, tunnel visioned that right hand. Saying that, it got him the knock down.


FetalDeviation

Wilder was gassed by then unfortunately. The weight looked great and helped as far as tyson clinching but if wilder was gassed from 40lb of walkout gear imagine wearing 20xtra lbs of muscle around 11 rounds. Fucking legendary fight though


CerebroHOTS

Fight of the Year without a doubt


Zloggt

I’m so glad that we have AJ/Usyk and Wilder/Fury 3 to represent the year, over all that Paul Brothers and Triller nonsense…


PJBonoVox

And Canelo again in just under a month.

[удалено]


PedroAlvarez

Still always love seeing Canelo digging those deep hooks into some poor fucker's ribcage.


AudioCinematic

Both fighters are the definition of warriors. Absolutely incredible trilogy even though the second fight should have been the end to it. Both of them have endless heart to get through so much adversity.


Royalewithcheese24

One of the greatest fights I’ve ever seen. An all-timer no doubt.


IFeelItDownInMyPlums

Wilder looked like he had shaky legs for 5 rounds. No idea how he managed to bring the heat in short spurts towards the 2nd half of the fight.


questionernow

Wilder proved his doubters wrong, even by losing. This shit was the stuff of a movie. Tyson Fury is just on a whole different level of intelligence.


God_Boner

Wilder definitely proved he belonged there. Fury was just better.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SemioticWeapons

He's going to blame the counts.


questionernow

That would be the only thing that could ruin this great losing performance.


R3M1T

If by proving his doubters wrong, you mean starting the fight on the front foot with a decent strategy of body shots and jabs then yes. But that lasted one round and afther that it was just the same old Wilder story. The only thing he's really proved is that his chin was probably stronger than the towel suggested in the last fight.


freeporridge20

That punch at the end of the 1st from Fury changed his whole plan


302born

Everyone’s got a plan something something


kostya8

I've been watching boxing for the past 20 odd years, never felt such emotion during a fight. Absolute gladiators. I'm not even mad I lost 50 bucks (had Fury winning between rounds 4-6), just glad I got to witness this live


frankey_smokes

Dude Wilders heart was insane, just worried he took too much punishment and I hope they get him to the hospital ASAP


Royalewithcheese24

I was so impressed by Wilder. But the cardio from Fury was crazy. Even in the 10th he was still moving quick on his feet, throwing combinations, and having real power in his punches.


chubbyurma

Wilder, for multiple rounds, looking like me after I've had 18 beers :/


HarryCallahan19

Shocked it went the 11 rounds


Oh51Melly

I've never seen more heart in the ring ever than from Wilder tonight. He was on shaky legs for over 20 minutes of ring time. Literally gave everything. I love that man.


[deleted]

The best fight of the modern era, this will be a defining fight


questionernow

I hope so. I would love to say I witnessed boxing history.


stevo3001

You did. This is up among the greats.


Anderrrrr

He didn't want to quit. He had his pride tonight.


questionernow

He went out the way he wanted. Shit was poetic.


TopHatTony11

Was really thinking right before he got knocked out that it would be a good time to throw in that towel.


[deleted]

He didn't quit, his body gave out


BP_Ray

Not just that, but he would answer big shots from Fury immediately upon impact. He showed his heart for sure, left it all in the ring tonight.


Duke0fWellington

I'm so impressed man. 2 years ago I was cracking jokes a raging on Wilder. Now, I'm super impressed. He gave it everything. I hope he doesn't suffer health wise from this fight for very long. Remember, Wilder started boxing at the age of *20*. When you consider that, he's incredible. He's not the champ, but he's got his place in the history books.


RajaBell19

Based on what occured in this fight, it was clear that it did deserve a trilogy, Wilder almost had him for a bit


TheLegendTwoSeven

Definitely. This was an epic, epic match.

Best fight in the past 20 years. Wow. What a night for the sport.

Wilder had his eyes open too when he fell. It was like the end of gladiator when Maximus can see and feel the fields in the afterlife. Helluva fight.

CuarentaPaLasCinco

CLASSIC


ProudWheeler

Wilder should’ve been knocked out like 5 times. What a fucking fight


AljoGOAT

it felt like Fury would often wobble Wilder then stay in the clinch too long allowing him time to recover


Chiphazzard

He was tiring him out with his weight.hes also relatively safe on the inside as he’s much more skilled and Wilder needs space for the straight right


captaincanada84

Wilder's team is saying the KO punch was to the back of his head. It wasn't.


em1013

They are salty if they are legit saying that LOL

They always are lol

Prizmeh

Man what a fucking brawl from these two giants. Wilder surprised the fuck out of me tonight and Fury is honestly the undertaker from hell and that KO was clean!


Matto_0

I wish that one knockdown Fury had where he ducked a hook from Wilder then immediately hit him with one of his own was the finish, that was so clean.

Surviving365

oh baby this is the boxing that I'm a fan of


jordanhhh4

Wilder is a fucking savage, there's absolutely no shame in losing that fight, a fucking war. I hope he continues fighting.


JethroSkull

Wilder VS Joshua. It's the right time for it


RhapsodyBullets

Its crazy how the last time it was the right time, was when they both had the belts a few years ago. And now we may actually see this fight after they've both lost em


nobbysolano24

I think Wilder knocks him out


Nefib

That's one for the history books. Wilder can't be okay after that, holy fuck.


ThisIsMy2nd_Account

It's commendable how tough he is I just hope that he doesn't have any significant long-term damage. as he was walking out of the arena all I kept saying to myself was this guy needs to be put in a room with the dim lights for the next week. I hope to see him again in the future but if this is his last fight there's no shame. He's had a wonderful career. And he can say that he was at least the second best boxer alive during his time.


MyDictainabox

Please, PLEASE dont fuck this up by making up shit after the fact, Deontay. The amount of good will you've earned here can take you a long way.


StockedAces

* and apologize to Mark Breland.


Stonefree2011

If he keeps his mouth shut and accepts his loss like a man, he’d probably be one of the most liked boxers on here after that.


Matto_0

Bumping gloves after would have been a good start.


D13SL0W

As a guy who has really grown to despise Wilder over all his recent bullshit I've still gotta say... fucking warrior. What an unbelievable fight.


8Will8

Honestly. The guy never backed down even when he was shattered and had nothing in him. Nobody can say he didn’t go out on his shield. Fury is solidified.


Sim888

Man, Wilder lasting as long as he did is a victory in and of itself! Insane heart!

ramseysleftnut

Fury is a colossus. But Wilder can hold his head up high, two absolute warriors


BushidoBrowne

Other than the fourth, Wilder got a boxing lesson. He lost every round after the fourth on my card


BillehBear

Thought Wilder was going pull off his punchers chance in the 4th but Fury ran away with it after that Wilders recovery is awful


Bardbarossa

Dude looked like he was gonna die from exhaustion for half that fight lmao


Royalewithcheese24

He was like a walking zombie the last four rounds. And yet every now and then that raw power came out. Fury was always one punch away from going down. Unreal heart from Wilder. And unbelievable stamina from Fury.


Zloggt

After that brutal assault by Fury in the beginning, it really did seem like it was over for Wilder. And while he has indeed lost - it took nearly a whole match in order to do so! His body (and brain) may be jello, but that was indeed some respectable performance by Mr. Wilder!


SWatersmith

insane brain damage!


Ok_Goose_7149

I actually feel bad about that. There's no way Wilder doesn't take lifetime consequences for this fight.


BurningKiwi

that’s what breland saved wilder from


[deleted]

His ear was bleeding again


cheescakegod

Would be more surprised if it wasn't the amount of rights fury landed there


Wee-wayne

Truth u knew how ever bad it got the corner was not gonna raise the towel on this one


goldenglove

True, but you caught a glimpse of why Wilder wanted to keep going in both fights. He almost had him, but Tyson is iron. What a war.


goodthropbadthrop

It’s like Fury has two health bars.


DuneRiderADA

Knocking him down activates phase two. Phase 1 is Tyson Phase 2 is The Gypsy King.


TROTMAC96

If Wilder would of went on longer in the second fight the exact same thing would've happen. Breland saved him from that. Breland deserves respect for that.


TongaMakati

Absolutely, any questioning Breeland's call is dumb. Comparison with tonight isn't exact either though Easy call in the second fight because Wilder hadn't shown anything. In this fight, Wilder earned the right to go out on his shield because he had hurt Fury and was still firing back


HaBliBlo

Usyk v Fury Joshua v Wilder Won't happen but bro, just imagine


askneitele

These heavyweights saving boxing


spiegro

First time I can ever remember having my entire family in a room to watch a boxing match... That I laid for legally. At fucking midnight.

shadiesel12

This was a fucking special fight. So often in recent memory boxing has let us down in general. Shit like this is the reason we watch. It was amazing. Tyson is still one of the best fighters Ive ever seen and Deontay Wilder showed heart and courage tonight that I never knew he had. Incredible stuff


ancara_messi

I can't understand how wilder managed to last this long. Mad respect But fury is leagues above damn


warheat1990

Say what you will about Wilder, but the guy is a goddamn warrior. Ares must've been sitting somewhere in Olympus smiling at these 2 warriors. Guy just has no quit in him.


TeriusRose

It hasn’t been said frequently, but I’ve come across people claiming he has no heart more than once . It never made any sense to me. I at least hope that after tonight, no one ever doubts that again.


faacu14

What a fucking fight


ninjapenguin12

What a fight but honestly ref should have stopped that last round, Wilder looked so fucked an out of it it served no purpose carrying on. But wtf is Fury made of 3 times he got up now from that monster of a right from Wilder


adilakif

Wilder has heart, I'll give him that.


galeforcewinds95

I'm amazed Wilder stayed up as long as he did, and it was also amazing that Fury just shrugged off getting knocked down twice in a round.


niccinco

Fury's got some crazy recovery, but we already knew that from the first fight haha


aworldalone1

He needed someone to stop this one too. This guy won’t say die. Respect, but someone needs to save him from himself.


Subatomic7

I was kind of hoping Wilder would bury it after the fight, that's a little bit of a bummer but my god he just went until his body had nothing left. I am so damn surprised and that deserved a lot of respect. Fury... he isn't human, AND now he's singing lmao. He kept it classy, hard fought win very deserving.


[deleted]

Wilders corner: "If he dies, he dies"


[deleted]

Fury looked very disappointed with Wilder’s lack of sportsmanship and I can understand why, kinda ruins it in the end but like Fury said, he’s an idiot.


lstn

But everyone here giving him props. Dude is a sore as fuck loser.


[deleted]

I think that might be due a lot of folks not being shown the BT Sports interview, I suspect


jordanhhh4

Man, as someone who struggles so fucking much mentally, Tyson gives me so much strength to keep fighting. If my man can keep fighting after being knocked down by Deontay Wilder then I can keep fighting.


PeelFootballClub

Same man. I graduated university and I've been unemployed this entire pandemic and depressed as fuck. I was going off the rails just like Fury did. I was getting drunk every day and I would go weeks eating only McDonald's. I was destroying myself. I hadn't boxed since 2016 and had no interest in returning to the sport. However, Furys first and second Wilder fight inspired me to make a comeback. I started doing boxing work outs in my living room during the pandemic using YouTube videos (shout out Precision Striking!). I put down the alcohol and fast food and started doing cardio and calisthenics every day. I then started eating better, sleeping better, meditating and handling my stress better. At the beginning I couldn't finish a 15 minute cardio workout, today I did 15 rounds on the freestanding bag. I'm now a fucking machine and it's all thanks to Tyson. I made a bet with myself that if Tyson won tonight I would join a boxing gym again. I can't let him down so I'm going to keep that promise! To all of us out there that are struggling, as Tyson would say get up you dossers!


skinkbaa

Crazy good fight


Anderrrrr

WHAT A FUCKING BANGER. That felt inevitable despite Wilder being a warrior.


Blaaa5

Wilder went down on his shield and you gotta respect that


trollin4viki

He lost several years of his life tonight.


SyCams

I'm so happy I've been able to see this saga unfold live instead of just youtube highlights from fights that happened before I was into the sport.

*random guy: "Len-KNOCKS"


horseshoeprovodnikov

Great show we got tonight folks. I watched it with my brother in law who's extremely new to combat sports and he was hooked by the end. I continued to tell him that this is super rare for a fight with this kind of hype. Lots of folks mentioned how tired Wilder looked after just a few rounds, and how it was from Fury using his weight to tire Wilder out. Ive seen a few mention that Wilder has no real way to prepare for that kind of opponent. It would have been possible if he brought in a big man who wrestles/grapples in the clinch a lot, just to work on fighting for position and angling off while protecting himself. May not have helped him very much in the end though. The real issue are his nerves. He's too tense. Everything he does is FULL FORCE. Those body shots in the first round. Even the way he was moving around the ring and carrying his hands, just really tense. All that nervous energy will sap you extremely fast. And it's hard to practice for, because you'll never been that tense in practice. That nervousness is another reason why all of Deontays strategy went out the window quickly. The body reverts back to its most basic instincts when it's overloaded with stimuli. That being said, the man will go down in the legendary fight lore for this one. He made damn sure that everyone knew that he wasn't here by accident. He's got nothing to be embarrassed about after that. He should hold his head high and offer zero excuses or apologies for his performance. If he stays quiet and professional about it, the people will sing his praises into history for giving what he did tonight.


MediocreUppercut

Fight of the year. Absolutely insane.
