Fury completed controlled that fight from the first second. Wilder has never really fought anyone of any real note, that’s why he has so many k/o’s. The best he’s fought up until Fury is Ortiz, and he’s far from being among the best.
Wilder initially wanted the Fury fight because he thought it would be an easy one to add to his record; out of shape still, out the ring for a long time but didn’t count on it going all the way and although he knocked Fury down a couple of times, Fury still won that fight IMO.
Having had the draw, there’s no way Wilder couldn’t take the second fight even though I don’t think he really wanted it and it showed because he never even got started this time round and he was lucky to make it to round 7.
He was ducking AJ and took the Fury fight because he thought it was easy. How wrong he was and now the AJ will likely never happen, just like he never really wanted.
AJ v Fury has to happen but my money would be on Fury because like he showed vs Wallin, he can take a beating but still compose himself to get the win. AJ can’t and gets complacent, as he showed vs Ruiz. Near on impossible to beat Fury by K/O because he can take a hit and get back up as though it never happened and he’s a very technical and intelligent boxer so he’s incredibly hard to outbox too.
Don’t like Fury but right now, he’s the best there is.
