Not sure we need to see that fight again, but unfortunately we probably we get that fight because Wilder will be too proud not to trigger the rematch clause. Will be interesting to watch Adam Kownacki in a few days. I donāt think heās ready to fight Fury quite yet, but down the road it might be a good fight. Actually, Iād love to see Kownacki fight Wilder.
It was not a bad guess at all. There was always a chance he would land up until he got his ear drum damaged. I was supporting Fury but still think Wilder will regain his crown with better trainers and presuming he physically and mentally recovers.
Wilder is fun to watch too
Supposedly, Wilder doesnāt listen to his corner. They were right to throw in the towel, but that busted eardrum went way too long without a doctorās consult. After that right to the side (NOT back) of the head, it was hard to watch. Fury punching, clinching (repeat). TKO, but if it went on like that much longer, a KO might have been a career-ender. American Pie!?!
Iām not so sure to what extent fighters are able to listen to their corner. One minute to recover from concussion and take on board advice to āgo downstairs!ā.
His trainer says that he disagreed with throwing in the towel. That says more about Deas to me.
The thrown towel may have saved his career. Constant warnings to back up on Fury may, or may not, have given him a chance. Doubtful post ear pounding. But, they were sticking to the script.
