    It may well have been posted - a couple of years ago!

    That rant was not about Tyson Wilder.

    Not that it should matter as he still won the fight, but I can't help but think that Fury coukd have just stayed out of the way and boxed smarter in that final round. Easier said than done, I know.

    I think he did well to survive. Fury's mistake was the showboating which lead to his 1st knockdown, he needs to stop doing that and it cost him the fight in the eyes of that judge who scored it a draw.

    Thought he absolutely schooled him in the 10th round as well after taking the knockdown in the 9th. The way he recovered and fought back from both knockdowns should’ve meant he still won the fight for me.

    What a stunning performance from Fury..

    Getting up from that second knock down defies belief..

    The real champ..

    Sick of listening to all these *'s talking about the 2 knockdowns as if that automatically means you should get the win..

    Absolute waffle..

    So many yanks keep saying so he didn't win at least 3 rounds blah blah blah..

    Salty * watched their man get a boxing lesson from an inactive heavyweight who was bang on the whistle and drink for 2 year :56:

    They should be counting their lucky star's that cheating prospered..

    One thing the shocking decision has done is take away from Fury’s performance. He’s such an under rated pure boxer, his defence and reflexes are world class and his size and awkwardness make him such a difficult guy to fight.

    There’s not only one winner in the rematch when he’d be in better shape and better prepared but he’d box the lugs off AJ as well.

    AJ and Hearn know the script, they know the big man will embarrass AJ. They’ll want no part of him. Expect to see AJ and Whyte in April, then AJ and Usyk or Miller later on next year.

    Fury after that, takes the utter * out of Joshua when even more up to speed..

    Wilder definitely knocks Joshua out as well without a doubt..
