Never watched or listened to the fight. By all accounts Fury edged it ? Fair play to Fury he is some character, and a better fighter than I thought.
Love this, always thought he was a knob but credit to him on thisIt might be that Wilder vs Joshua is already lined up for this summer.
and I'm rather warming to Fury, an imperfect role model.
It would be close I reckon, AJ would prefer Wilder than Fury. Fury is an awkward fighter and this is why I don’t think Wilder will want a rematchStill think AJ would beat Fury - going to hit him more often than Wilder did - but think AJ wouldn't get up if Wilder caught him like he did Fury last night in the 12th.

Fair play if this is true.

Have they ever considered having a computer system alongside the judges, that scores points for blows.Was listening to 5 Live yesterday and they were talking about it being a golden age of boxing. How can they say that when its obvious to everyone its a fix. Pretty much every big fight there's a dubious result and a rematch.

Always said that I think Fury is the best in the world, the only question marks I had with him going into this fight was his preparation and ability to perform until the final seconds of the 12th after being out for so long. With so many of Wilder's KO's coming late in fights he clearly carries his power long no matter how much air/arms/elbows he punches.
After seeing that fight I think Wilder has every chance of KO'ing AJ who has been rocked by Whyte and knocked down by a very old klitskcho on the brink of retirement. In a fight with Wilder it will be a matter of who connects first, AJ's head/upper body movement needs so much work and I think Wilder could land early in that fight if/when it happens.
Fury runs rings around AJ as he did with Wilder but I don't think AJ has the power that Wilder has to keep Fury down if hit.
I personally think Whyte will give AJ a real run for his money in April.
Whilst I respect that people have amazing boxing brains. It isn't half boring when they just set out to win on points rather than knockout.
Watching the reactions, movement and footwork of fury consistently for 12 rounds was a pleasure, picking his opportune moments to counter. I would much rather watch a Fury fight where he makes people look silly who overcommit and swing wildly than Klitshko in his prime where it was just a constant procession of jabs until the lesser competitor just gave up.Whilst I respect that people have amazing boxing brains.

I think Wilder has a better chance of beating AJ simply because AJ is there to be hit, and when Wilder hits people they tend to stay hit. I think AJ v Wilder is a shootout 50/50. Fury v Wilder is more 80/20
Horses for courses. Klitschko set the pattern as wouldn't fight outside Germany and knew he was unlikely to get beat on pts there !!Whilst I respect that people have amazing boxing brains. It isn't half boring when they just set out to win on points rather than knockout.
In a strange way the draw has really kept the division buzzing, both fighters come out with credibility and people are talking about heavyweight boxing again. Throw Usyk and Whyte into the mix and the division is unrecognisable to the Klitskhos era of dominance.See your point, but given that both fighters have won all but 1 of their fights via KO, you’d have to give the edge to Joshua because he’s a better boxer with similar KO power. The guy knocked down Klitschko twice and finished him.
You can’t really call a Fury v Wilder 80% in Fury’s favour. He got knocked down twice and a lesser referee may well have called it early because Fury was motionless for 5s. Yes, deserved the win, but even he acknowledges how close he was to being finished.
The fact that fans can have these debates goes to show how good the HW division is right now. 3 top contenders all with unbeaten records. You get the feeling that anyone can beat the other on any given day!

Remember that AJ got knocked down by an old Klitsckho, a younger version of WK would have finished him off in that round I think.
I don't think any boxer goes out to go the distance particularly in this division, one hit could be all it takes. Fury has a more technical approach that Wilder so generally it takes more time to execute where as Wilder will go for early KO's if he can. Different tactics but certainly doesn't mean he is aiming to go all the way.Whilst I respect that people have amazing boxing brains.
