And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

I went with the Dwyer bet recommendation and then on impulse made a guess as to the Fury round. At round 3 was when I really started thinking I had a chance at hitting that bet, the next nine minutes were extremely long lol but about as good as it could get for my bet. Wilder took just enough damage to look extremely fragile in round 7 and I think Fury would have stopped it there if Wilder's corner hadn't.

Might use the winnings to see whoever Pacquiao fights this year.

Fury’s ring walk was amazing. I was laughing so hard in the arena. It was soooooo slow. I loved it.

Wilders I made the same joke loudly three times that he looked like a teenage mutant ninja turtles villain and no one laughed any of the times. It’s hard making hilarious jokes that go unloved sometimes

Cigar Aficionado posted:

Tyson Fury at 6'9 275 is an absolute tank of a fighter that will be very tough to beat. He's also the best pure boxer in the division, which is ludicrous for a man his size.

Yeah, I feel like he breaks the weight classes with his size. A fight against a 225 lb fighter is like man vs giant. Deontay is at least close but basically I think most people that tall and athletic will be scouted for basketball these days. If you took some of these nba power forward prospects and taught them to box maybe one of them could take him...

It's a self solving problem because they're not gonna find another goon like him for a long time.

How do think Fury would stack up against past hvy champions? There's a lot of great fighters but I wonder what some of them would be able to do to contend with fury's size and skill. Maybe study up on Dempsey's approach to the larger opponent?

I find David Haye annoying, but watching him hurt Valuev was instructional: Valuev was like ten inches taller and a hundred pounds heavier than Haye. Fury moves well for his size, but it’s easy to come up with theoretical match ups that would be tough for him.

valuev was a giant hulking slow rear end neanderthal. haye barely had to hold a guard that entire fight. if anyone tried this against fury they'll get jabbed to death

I mean the one time Fury fought a much smaller but highly skilled opponent Steve Cunningham nearly put him out but since then, in the era of the super heavyweight, there really is no analogue for a smaller man who can get inside ala Tyson, Ali or Dempsey.

The only thing that even comes close of the current group I can think of is Usyk and who I fear would be in way over is head against anyone above the B (Joseph Parker, Kurbrat Pulev) tier.

Edit: in non Fury news, apparently we may soon have confirmation of Canelo vs Callum Smith on May 2nd. Matchroom have promised a "big announcement" tomorrow

Fury in reality won both fights, Wilder lost about 17 of 19 rounds, and finished getting the life beat out of him. is there any doubt how a third fight would go, now Fury is fully fit?

I don't think anyone doubts how the trilogy fight would end, but can anyone else just confirm for me that it would be by far the best payday Wilder could get? He definitely came out of these fights more famous than he was before, but is there a compelling match up for him elsewhere? He has to cash in, right?

Yeah it will undoubtedly be the biggest and most profitable fight he has for the rest of his career.

A bit, but mostly I think you just need to see how other big fighters (Nikolai Valuev, Taishan Dong, Julius Long) have done. Fury isn't impressive just because of his height, but how effectively he's able to box and how quickly he's able to move while possessing an enormous frame.

The amount of tall fighters who are lanky, awkward and useless is pretty impressive tbh. Then one finally puts it together and people go 'oh he's just long and big, of course they can dominate'.

Being 6'9" and 270lbs is only an advantage if you can move and box like Fury. The guy is as fast and mobile as a Light Heavyweight despite of being 100lbs heavier than one.
