In a rematch from last year’s draw, Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21 KO) remained undefeated with a seventh round TKO of Deontay Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KO). In their last fight, Fury won most of the rounds, but was knocked down twice by Wilder. Those knockdowns made the fight a draw last time. This time, Fury promised everyone that he was going to look for the knockout and win the WBC Heavyweight Championship.
Not too many people believed him because his last fight went the full 12 rounds with Otto Wallin. Although Fury is 6’9″, his normal style is to box from the outside.
However, Fury chose to be the aggressor in this fight and returned the favor by knocking out Wilder in the third and the fifth rounds before the fight was stopped in the seventh round. Wilder will now have 30 days to determine if he wants an immediate rematch.
I thought Tyson Fury was going to lose because he seemed a little fat to be a boxer but he did win. I could not believe it.
Fury adjusted from the last fight and Wilder did not adjust. Fury definitely surprised me, and he fought his best fight ever Saturday night. Off topic – since you live in Spain, how are people dealing with Hazard breaking his ankle?
I am not a big fan of Real Madrid but it is unlucky for him. However, Real Madrid has two similar players Isco and James, the two of them are great and can render good performances. It was strange because Real Madrid won Supercopa and had been unbeaten for months. Copa del Rey came and Zidane picked unusual players against Real Sociedad. Real Madrid lost and since this match, Real Madrid has ceased to play well just when Manchester City is visiting Madrid this week and Barcelona will next Sunday. Isco can play as good as Hazard does.
It was a very “raw” fight. I saw part of the fight during the news.
Yes, I saw the highlights as well. Fury had the perfect fight plan last night
i gave up on boxing a few years ago. sorry to be a downer on that.
There’s no reason to apologize. A lot of people had given up on boxing because of the boxing promoters and also because Floyd Mayweather never lost a fight. Plenty of people would watch just to see him lose. Since he has retired, people are done with boxing.
Honestly Mayweather and his history of abusing women, came after i gave up on boxing. I gave up in the days of Tyson.
Mayweather didn’t help.
Mike Tyson was one of the best ever. If his trainer would not have died, Tyson really could have gone undefeated
like I said, I had given up on boxing by the time he was impacting the sport.
I am still shook after the result because I was one that was going for a Wilder
This was rough to watch – Fury was very prepared this time
What do you think about Wilder rematching him very soon. I honestly did not think it is smart because it would just go the same way. I’m wondering if Wilder did not put on that weight would he have won.
Wilder pretty much has no choice but to take it now for the next pay day. Anthony Joshua will be in 2 mandatory fights this year, so there is no other super fight available for Wilder. Wilder could lose the 3rd fight with Tyson Fury and then fight Andy Ruiz after that
I am curious now, especially with the claim of the 45 pound costume that he wore. When I heard how much that thing weight I was thinking why in the world. I got it about Black History, but a 45 pound costume. I think he was banking on a early night, overlooking Tyson. Wearing a 45 pound costume before any athletic competition is bound to not end well. Should of got accustomed to it before wearing it for just one night.
