MickC 1,825 Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) I wouldn't read too much into the first Fury/Wilder fight as he was not 100% and like everybody said the Wilder fight was too early. Ive watched the fight a few times now and Furys only goal was to play it safe and beat Wilder on points and he probably would have if not for him clowning/losing concentration. There was times during the fight like Roach said when Fury could have capitalised by throwing his punches with a lot more intent but he chose not when he should have and could have won rounds more clearly that possibly went to Wilder. Roach also said he would have wanted Fury to go for the stoppage if he'd had his corner.We should know what a fully fit Fury has to offer in his next couple of fights.Hopefully this year we will have an undisputed, undefeated Champion . It's gone on too long this back and forth between Wilder and Joshua and now with Fury also back in the mix the majority of fans are getting bored with it all and just want to see them fight each other instead of them taking to the various social media platforms to talk about it . All there talk of fan bases, ppv figures, percentages,which belt is the most prestigious and millions being earned etc etc does not appeal to the fans but it's all where hearing tbh .

I did say on here before the fight that it could well end in controversy. Wilders actions at the final bell when in his corner,even he knew he'd lost .

Yeah it was never going to be plain sailing was it,I too thought it wouldlve paid to be on the offensive a bit more,but he still got his job done in my opinion 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just thought jabs were point scoring punches. So based on that would you say there would've been a lot of rounds with neither of them winning the round? Because wilder wasn't doing much? No mate title fights are scored on the 10 point must which means barring a deduction the winner of a round must get 10 points....what im saying is that after all said and done it is " a fight "....its not an athletic venture....and in a fight you should be looking to do damage to your opponent.....20 tippytap jabs are not damaging an opponent as much as 1 hard left hook to the body so it must be scored accordingly.....otherwise its not " a fight " its just an athletic venture requiring no power no durability and no guts/gameness.....all the qualities that seperate pro boxing from amateur.
