Wilder vs Fury 2, Sat. Feb 22 @MGM, LV

I think that detached retina was really more cocaine than Bogota in Ray's soon to be tested bloodstream.

Ruiz will only be at a disadvantage due to his short 6'-2" size against a towering 6'-9" Fury.

What's AJ - 6'-6"??

Think a huge Usain Bolt against the rest of the 6' 1" sprinters in that start line..

At 100 or 200 meters, not 50..

Yeah, it may have been an excuse. He did admit to being a coke fiend and he had marital (Juanita) problems also around that time.

Though I loved him against Hearns and his gold in Montreal .. I was his biggest critic back then.

He was an opportunistic gamesmanship guy that used his ... 'retirements' ... lol ... always to maximum-effect ($$$$$$$).

And he played way too many of those games with Marvin to get me to like him over Hagler.

Late 10-second-flurries don't impress. Unless you be an owned LV 'judge'...

You should have fought MH in a 16' ring, Ray!!!

yeah good crowd.lot of support for fury.

tim bradley was spot on.little bit more behind each punch tallied up quicker.kimbo slice looked confused.

That racist Black guy Tariq Nasheed is whining like a bitch on twitter.


He made some racist comment about Tyson fans and mayonnaise.

Yep, good comparison there with Kimbo.

They share(d) the same priorities and tactics..

(and weakness)

RIP, KS.

What was up with Wilder? He looked out of it from the first round.

Food?

Hookers sent to his room?

Panic-sex?

Microwave energy radiated into his room from the room next door?

Metaphorically my gut instinct is that he awoke to severed horse head in his bed.

Nope. simply afraid of losing. His focus became reality.

More like afraid of winning.

Winning requires fearlessness

WTF?

That's a bad sign, him singing American Pie at the end.

.

It is called the Buddy Holly curse. Studies have shown that anything connected to Holly ends in tragedy. I don't see Fury dying an old man quietly tending his garden and spending time with grand children.

Disaster awaits. Plus, he is named after Mike Tyson, what could go wrong?

The punch that really did the damage did not look hard enough to have put anybody down from the main television camera angle and it was only they found a real camera angle shot that you could see what happened. Wilder got hit just behind the ear and the shot was just hard enough to do real damage and he never recovered. Basically an extreme case of a lucky punch, sort of like getting hit by lightning.

Curses only feed on belief.

Fury does not feed them.

As foretold.

the lightnings name was Tyson Fury.
And he struck again and again.

Great win by Fury. Controlled it from start to finish. While Wilder has that great punch, he knew Fury could really hurt him too, and he did.

Fury is lightning quick for his size, and is a fantastic boxer too. Hope he manages to hold his mental health together now and goes on to hold all the titles for years.

full fight here

As always us English own you Americans.

unwatchable.keep hearing fingernails running down a blackboard.
he looked like kimbo,he was slow like kimbo.butterbean scripted his tactics,and he took more shots than honey wilder.fury swallowed some mayonnaise in a gay fight for cash.the end.
i think i got too excited.post fight shame.kinda bummed.

real fighters

I’ll never forget that fight lol, what a shocker.

Ruiz plants himself really well throw, good old kinetics, with that much weight behind you, if you have a reasonable technique & are in balance then physics does the rest.

Unfortunately for Ruiz, no fighter will ever spend a couple of rounds working him out again.

That size simply can’t have the stamina to ‘all out’ box for long so he will not be gifted opportunity to land again lol.

He literally took Josh apart after that first heave blow lol.

I said back then that it was the best thing that could have ever happened to AJ, & going back to basics & getting Klitschko involved was exactly the right play.

I just don’t know how AJ will fight Fury. AJ is by far the more rounded boxer but Fury is resilient, relentless has ability & more ‘boxers spirit’ than most. It will certainly be interesting.

I really think there is something about those fast blows that glance across the surface of the skull, not sure if it’s ‘friction’ or what it is but, some fighters just absolutely get destroyed by them. For some they seem to have a ‘lasting’ effect, no chance of recovery, just game over lol.

But back to Andy, I loved Ruiz in that fight, a boxers boxer will grind him down but.............. with that ability he has, if you let him in the door then you are fighting one of the baddest men on the planet lol.

Combine that with the fact that, ‘WHEN’ you hurt him, that many will come at you like an absolute train within seconds, that is when he seems to be at his most dangerous.

& with that power & balanced technique behind him...........you are absorbing EVERY psi f that blow like a punchbag unless you’re moving back. That’s what makes him great to watch.

And.............a real gentleman to boot. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer but a super nice chap whom does boxing the world of good.

Oh no lol, please tell me there is not a conspiracy about Kimbo & Wilder lol. I have not heard this one, too funny if there is!

It did, and that’s when fear enters the arena & that is exhausting in itself on that stage.

It was like the AJ vs Ruiz fight, just no coming back from that. A shame to see Wilder in that position really, I am not a huge fan of his ‘boxing’, but he IS a great competitor & he knew the game was over but still stuck in there.

It’s exciting to have a huge one puncher around at times but the ‘must’ be in near perfect condition to land that sledgehammer, you stun them & the opportunity doesn’t present itself, then it’s just chipping away.......

I hope he recovers well but from memory the re-match clause was for it to be held pretty soon after & that’s not good news for Wilder.

It will be interesting to see how he handles this, psychologically to his opponents & for the entire industry he needs to reinstate that ‘knockout’ reputation, that means a few fights we don’t really want to see & he is not a ‘young’ boxer anymore.

It’s a tough call to come back from.

Yeah, I was saying this earlier, it’s a fascinating anomaly. Watch the punch that ended it for AJ against Ruiz......

There is a punch that ends it for many fighters......

.....that grazing/glancing blow across the scalp. Goodness knows what it is, friction & static energy affecting the brain? Don’t know, but..........it absolutely finishes many off, no recovery from it, top of the head or toward the back, either way, when it strikes, it’s game over, no impact needed.
