Listened to it on Talksport. Sounded like a brilliant fight, but I thought the commentary team were truly awful. Felt sorry for the summariser who is OK. Wilder went down 3 times and they never described what type of punches put him down.
Just before the stoppage there's an uppercut that went straight up through the guard, that was the one that set up the finish for a right hand a few seconds later that finally ended the fight. In truth Wilder was fucked from around the 8th onwards. His corner really should have pulled him out long before the KO. He had heart, but nothing much left after the 8th and in truth got a bit of a hiding from then on.
How wilder got up in the 10th after that big hit and then throw a couple of decent ones himself was admirable. But yeah, it was only a matter of time weren’t it. One trick pony with his big right hand.

I hear Fury is 3 stone heavier than last time. How true that is, I don’t know but that’s shocking if true. Fury by far the superior boxer but has he let himself go? Is he fit enough? Hope fury wins but I do have a small element of doubt coz of the weight and fitness. Kick off is 4am for us so I’ll prob get up and try find the fight in its entirety (hopefully without seeing the result).
I did tell ya, did I not
You did. When I saw him in the ring I didn’t think he looked much different to last time and knew he’d win. No way was he 3 stone heavier. It was that pesky t-shirt at the weigh in
One observation which I did fined amusing, was Fury, post-match praying, in a hands-clasped public display of feeble mindedness.
We might like to think he was communing with God in Las Vegas but that can't be happening can it. We don't have inbult wi-fi in our heads and send or recieve signals anywhere. We just have thoughts and our commucations are limited by speech - making sounds with our mouths - touch and body language,gestures,which are interpreted visually by other people (sometimes wrongly)
Invoking God, for no other reason, than to give the appearance of undertaking a self cleansing ritual in public is pretty low even by Las Vegas standards.
Granted the chuckleheads who had actually attended, had already escaped back to the casino floor for beers and $50 bets by this time, so it was the TV watching public who were left confused returning to transmission after an ad break, who wondered, what's he doing...

I knew he’d win as soon as I woke up and saw the word
FURY KNOCKS OUT … plastered all over the fucking world ffs
I never even made it to the TV remote
Snap. Couldn’t avoid it. Managed to not see what round though so I’m mildly happy I got away without seeing some of the headlines
I can conclude that, Tyson was not at his best and had several hits from Wilder throughout this fight. At the end , we know Tyson can take a few punches, what a chin.
To conclude, Tyson is a hard man to beat, even on his bad day.
