LAS VEGAS — The third Tyson Fury-Deontay Wilder fight was unforgettable as they waged an all-time epic heavyweight championship fight in which they were down a combined five times and ended with Fury finally putting Wilder away with a thunderous right hand in the 11th round to retain the title on Saturday night.
What a beautiful fight. Tyson Fury is the true heavyweight champion of the world. What an iron chin he has. Deontay Wilder left everything he had in that ring and that's all we can ask for. Mad respect for both of them. I hope Wilder retires and enjoys the fruits of his work. Fury should take a break and wait for the Usyk vs Joshua winner to unify. Tonight boxing was at his very best. No one lost tonight.
Was that the best fight I’ve ever seen? I donno, that’s like asking is that was the best poem I’ve ever read, but god damn was it great! Greatness is a rare thing, what we saw last night was a rare thing. I can’t believe how tough Wilder is! Holy crap! I do believe if the ref hadn’t stopped the fight immediately, he would’ve gotten up if he possibly could have. If he had an ounce of strength left. He proved all he needed to last night to me. I don’t know what his future in boxing is, do you think he should continue on? He still has that power, does he still have that fire? If he does, Wilder-Joshua is still a compelling fight for me.
Wow that PPV was well worth it..all good fights. I've never heard of Frank Sanchez but that guys very good!..may give Usyk a hard time if not frekin win.
I've never felt so much tension watching a fight like Fury Wilder 3 i don't know how they could breath.
I hope Wilder can move on and find peace with Everything and Everybody.
Congratulations to The Gypsy King Tyson Fury Heavyweight Champion of the WORLD your an Awesome dude continue to be blessed.
One negative, Punch Stats were so far from reality they should have stopped showing them. Wilder was given 8 landed punches in round one. I counted 8 clean body shots in the first minute. Paulie M was correct on this. Two teenagers with joysticks in their parents basements compile these stats.
Terrific fight. Now - I had it 9-2 in rounds for Fury including the stoppage. But Wilder fought arguably his best fight. There was a boxing game plan, and of course he has that missile hanging from his right shoulder. It's the clear Fight of the Year.
Excellent fight, surely a classic. Both fighters give tremendous effort. IMO Wilder would have done much better had he stuck to his game plan and worked the body with jabs and hooks. After the first couple of rounds, he seemed to rely too much on his telegraphed right hand.
Been watching fights for 50 years. This may have been the best. Two men left their souls in the ring.
