I heard fury licked the blood off wilders ear!?!?
No, the announcer was a jackass... He was flicking his tongue to the crowd when he knew the fight was under control. He simulated it, no contact

Wilder talked too much this year, Fury came with a plan and executed it. I think the early jabs and the body shots were more effective than people are saying. Wilder lost this fight tonight when he didn't knock Fury out in the 12th Round of the last fight... It is clear it broke him mentally with Fury the way Ali did it to Foreman. Wilder was not in this fight for a single minute, well before his ear.

Great analogy. Took his will away.

Wilder even kind of gave it away in the pre-fight interview: "I've never hit anyone that hard and they got up"... That's been in his head for a year. Meanwhile, Team Fury changed their tactics and punished Wilder

Reminds me of when guys started pushing Tyson backwards off clenches and quit showing fear. I think it affected him mentally.

And I did get to "watch" with my sons... They were at a bar, I'm home, thanks 3way WhatsApp video chat!

I had mine here as we thru a little party. I told my oldest I’m taking him to Vegas for a fight. He’s never seen one live other than local club fights. I miss it. There’s nothing for me that compares with a big fight.

The ear shot knockdown was with 30 seconds left in 3rd round... Fury was in control before that.

The ref was annoying me too. I didn't have a problem with him taking the point from Fury, I did have a problem with him NOT taking a point from Wilder for all the ****ty little shots to the back of Fury's head if he's trying to control things evenly as a ref

Corner was horrible....amateurish. But Wilder is completely exposed as a boxer...power but lacks even basic skills.
Yeah, it's clear that other than, "push him back, then hit him with the right," there was no plan... And that's the only thing his corner was telling him to do.

Never underestimate the value of a strong trainer/corner. Tyson after Cus and Kevin Rooney was a disaster waiting to happen.

That was a beautiful fight by Fury. He was living rent free in Wilder’s head ever since he got up in the 12th round of their first fight. I think that was when Fury knew he could take Wilder’s power, and he hasn’t had any fear of him ever since. Fury put on 20 more pounds and went headhunting tonight. I didn’t expect him to be so aggressive with his power, but I’m glad he did. That was fun to see. I think it’s hard to deny that he’s the most skilled and entertaining heavyweight since Ali. If Fury can stay focused and somehow get Joshua in the ring (doubtful), I think he wins easily and takes all the belts home.
