Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury II - Is the streak finally going to be broken?

Seems like Tyson Fury was sold short and not too many people picked him to win, even though he was only +105, so basically a pick em.
You know, if you tell me a match is basically 50/50, but the one guy has concrete gloves and is boxing at 273 when the other guy is coughing up 40 pounds and fought last time at 212, hey, hindsight is 20/20, but that's a big beef disadvantage there, wouldn't you say? When I watched it, I think Wilder gassed out from trying to carry too much on his frame.
 

I can't imagine

I thought he clearly broke a rib early in the fight.

This should have been stopped in the fifth. Wilder was complaining, but this was stopped two rounds too late in my opinion.

He spent the better part of several rounds struggling with staying upright. I understand it's a big match, big money, etc., so the ref's probably prone to letting the dudes fight. Still, it really seemed unnecessary to keep the match going that long.

I think the ref was trained to look for one big flurry to stop the fight, but since Fury continued to pot shot him one at a time and then lean on him, the ref didn't see a good specific moment to stop the fight, even though he could have stopped it at any time just from the look on Wilder's face and the fact that his mouth and ear were pouring blood and he injured his rib.

It should have been stopped at the latest between the fifth and sixth rounds.

Agreed. The leaning was getting excessive, but fuck it. If you’re going to clinch up, use your mass to weigh the other dude down. Smart move. The best round Wilder had was the one where Bayless deducted a point against Fury; a 9-9.

Great bout. Very entertaining. Well deserved by Fury. I hope Wilder doesn’t enact the rematch clause. I really want to see Fury v Joshua.
I wouldn't mind seeing them go at it a third time, but only after Joshua steps up and fights one of these two. Great fight all around, as entertaining if not more than the first. Definitely think something broke in WIlder, whether it was his rib or his ear, but definitely not lost any respect for the guy for taking the L and having his streak broken.

And people thought Andy Ruiz Jr stood a chance at fighting any of these two.

Wilder lost cause his weight and how Fury fought. Wilder couldn't windmill this one unless he wanted to get disqualified for behind the head shots

The busted ear drum in the first was all she wrote for Wilder. The corner throwing in the towel was a mercy killing. They should've done it after seeing blood come out of his ear and Wilder's second knock down. Wilder looked utterly drunk and bemused. It wouldn't surprise me if his jaw, ribs, and eardrum are all broke. Wilder has a bad habit of his fingers breaking so that's no shocker as well if we see that added to his list of things shattered.

It was a glorious fight and one that I watched the whole way through, the prelims were meh, it was only the last 2 fights that were worthwhile.

I almost wish I paid for it.

I think wilder will wait to see who out of Fury vs. Joshua comes out and then challenge them. Wilder will take a warm up fight or 2 of some scrub and beat them to dust.

The rematch money will be ridiculous for Fury vs. Wilder 3 and if it's Joshua vs. Wilder it'll be even more ridiculous as it'll be billed as some Redemption story bullshit.

Fury clearly won the first fight on points, but got screwed by the judges. So he came back with a new game plan to finish the most feared KO artist maybe in HW history, which many laughed at - and he walked him down and destroyed him.
Best HW of this era and it's not up for debate. I hope we see the Joshua fight as I think he'd box the ears off him.

Lennox Lewis was right that the shot that busted his eardrum fucked up his equilibrium. He was never going to recover from that. I'd like to see Wilder fight Andy Ruiz.

Why? Ruiz is a fat tub whom Joshua fucked off on and took the fight for granted.

Wilder would jab the fuck out of Ruiz , as ruiz has power, but not at the same level that Wilder has.

whomever Wilder fights next I pity as it will be savage. Not a mike tyson "IM GONNA EAT YOUR KIDS!" savage but a brutal beat down.

This loss will be good for him as the public loves a comeback story and if Fury wins against joshua you know sure as shit Fury will demand 70/30 purse and say "Ya Boi Bring 'em up 'ere!" and make Wilder fight in the UK.

The fury vs. Joshua fight will suck as it will be at some shit awful hour and broadcast in the UK. Neither will need to come to Vegas even though Fury lives in the US.

Ruiz and Wilder are both represented by Al Haymon so it would be an easy fight to make, but it’s risky for both to have a second consecutive loss. I think Ruiz would make it interesting if he doesn’t lose his mind and gain 30+ pounds weeks before the fight. Fury vs. Joshua would air around 1pm pst in the US like Ruiz/Joshua 2 did.

A hypothetical Andy Ruiz vs Deontay Wilder match would just end with Andy on the canvas knocked out at either round 2 or 3. But him making it to round 3 is just wishful thinking.

Wilder is in unholy shape for a heavy weight, he should honestly be more of a Light Heavyweight or Cruiserweight, but those weight classes aren't popular anymore. Not since Roy Jones and bernard hopkins have LHW been relevant. Cruiserweight is more of where Wilder should be, again, it's a dead weight class.

230 pounds of lean muscle is nothing in heavyweight. You need mass and power to survive being beaten with a concrete block in the face over and over. Fury is the normal build of heavyweights and Joshua is in the same build of Hollyfield who was another massive muscular brute of a man.

I cannot see fury leaaaaaannnnning on Joshua the way he leaned on Wilder because Joshua's back is the size of a van door and thick as an oak tree. The man will not have the same flexibility that Wilder has. If Wilder gained 20lbs of muscle mass and get in the Klitchsko body he could survive the beating that Joshua would give him. Again, nothing will save you from an ear drum eruption and equilibrium loss, you can't train that...

Doubt Al Haymon would put both on the same card to fight each other, that 1 loss is still relevant enough to sell fights, having them fight each other he then has one of his 2 prize fighters be fucked for future matches.
