Wilder knocked down in Round 5!
Wilder knocked down in Round 5!
Fury takes Round 5.....Wilder is bleeding from his ears.
Round 6....Fury. They should call it....Wilder is taking a beating.
TKO Round 7.....Fury destroyed Wilder.
That did not go well for Wilder.
Fury (WBC, The Ring and the Lineal championship) vs. Joshua (WBA, IBF and WBO) to unify the championships?
Superb performance from Fury. Not really sure why Wilder decided to weigh in so heavy, think if definitely affected him. Had Wilder with the 2nd only. Fury AJ the only acceptable fight now with Usyk hopefully coming up the slip lane.
I think it's safe to call that a beating.
Joshua's people were claiming before the fight they wanted Fury to win because they were more confident they could come to an agreement with his people over Wilders...guess we will know soon. Wilder has the right to request an immediate rematch.
Wilder blames his heavy costume for losing....idiot. Claims he will exercise the rematch option which means Fury will have to fight him next. I think Fury will end his career this time....he should have took some time away, and came back picking up some wins to get his career going again. I think he is getting bad advice or desperate for money. He may have huge expenses....I know he has 8 kids with 3 or 4 moms, so I bet his checks to them are very large each month.
I mean, I'm not even sure where to start with this, but I'll try.....
He got a guarantee of $25M for the fight with Fury this time around before a single person bought the PPV. And he's getting a % of those buys. He's not desperate for money. Kids are expensive. They aren't THAT expensive.
Get his career going again? The guy's been the heavyweight champion of the world for the last like 5 years. He's 42-1-1.
Is it possible another loss to Fury basically "ends" it for him? Sure. But he's also going to be turning 35 in October. Don't wait around too long.
And hey, maybe finally having someone actually show him his weaknesses will get everyone (he and his team) to try things a little bit differently.
how much of that money does he get? I recall when they use to break down Tyson's actual take home pay after taxes, lawyers, trainers, gyms, insurance, etc. etc.....it would be a fraction of what the claimed purse posted was at the time. Also, kids a more than a little expensive when you are fighting for $25 Million purses. Mom and kid are not living in a 3/2 driving a Malibu when dad is living in a mansion driving a Rolls.
