Didn't watch, but Twitter seems to think it was a great fight. Fury knocked Wilder down in the 4th, Wilder knocked him down twice in the 5th, then Fury knocked Wilder down in the 10th and 11th I think.

I've never been a huge boxing fan, but it seems like the heavyweight division has been garbage for at least 25 years now. Wilder has insane punching power, but he's coming up on 50 fights now and is still very green. Simply because there is so little talent in the HW division to pair him up with. Fury is a flabby mess, but might be the best fighter in the world.

And then there's Anthony Joshua, was supposed to be on a collision course with Fury, but he lost again. So that will probably set up Fury vs the guy that beat him, and maybe Wilder vs Joshua?

Who cares. Any of you guys watch?

Joshua is just an also ran with his recent 2 losses. The heavyweights have been better than people think since right after Tyson went to prison. That era with Bowe, Holyfield and Lewis was as good as the Ali, Frazier and Foreman era etc. Tyson might not have looked so great if he caught all of them in his prime but he wasn't the same fighter when he got out of prison.

The American media just talked down the Klitschko's but Vitali was right there with Lewis in that fight before the cut stoppage and Lewis refused to ever fight him again. Worse thing was Bowe refusing to ever fight Lewis but the 3 Holyfield fights were good. As far as Fury its crazy how a guy 6'9" can be coordinated enough to be the champion now. The old saying used to be anything over about 6'5" was going to prevent you from being a heavyweight champion.
 
I haven't followed boxing in decades. The promoters killed it for me, charging ridiculous sums of money for PPV events. Capitalism works, because demand for these events certainly seems way down. I know I couldn't care less.
 
Wilder simply can't fight....he's a street brawler. Fury is an actual boxer, and he's very skilled/technical. Any given day, Wilder could connect with his right hook and knockout anyone, but standing in the ring going toe to toe with someone who is skilled in the sport is an entirely different story.

Yep its crazy how Fury can move and bend like that being his size.

I've seen people say Usyk was pretty good. I have no idea how anyone can say Joshua is better than Wilder. Wilder has 2 career losses, both to the guy that everyone agrees is the best in the world. And 24 hours ago he put him on his ass AND had a slow count to boot. Joshua's two losses are to the guy ranked behind Fury, and a nobody.

It will be interesting to see what happens next. It's likely that Joshua activates a rematch clause with Usyk. I think at that point, they could still negotiate a 'step aside' fee for Joshua, and Usyk fight Fury instead. That would be best for the sport, and if Joshua could do that AND get the winner, he'd be a fool not to IMO.

I wouldn't be shocked to see Fury-Wilder 4 if Usyk and Joshua do the rematch.

After Joshua's losses it shouldn't be considered a big fight imo but they will market it over there as one. I do think Fury is reaching the point he may come in without training like he should however.
 
Walgreens is a rip off, doesn't belong in a great city like sf. Who shops at Walgreens anyway? Besides you when you want to surprise the wife with a box of Whitman's.
It's over. Newsom's mandating kids get the vaccine to go to school, then he admits he hasn't vaccinated his own kid was the last straw. People are fleeing the state. Property values in Gay Bay are so low you can afford to live there soon.

It's a dead zone We should sell the state to Canada at a loss while we still can.

When Newsome finishes destroying your state, who is going to be left holding the bag?

These people are insane. Going to be one hell of a mess during the upcoming brownouts. 😂

La Jolla isn't particularly Libby, I can go places without masking up. Was in Reno last week on business, masks required everywhere. Pretty crazy at this stage of the game. But I never expected these people from taking the baton the way they did, was pretty obvious.

Wait a couple years and you can get a whole block for half that. Real estate in Gay Bay is one of the worst investments on the planet right now. Massive talent drain in the tech sector happening, peeling rubber from Gay Bay making a beeline straight to Austin, TX.

Want to make some money in real estate? Target Round Rock. Hold for about 10 years then sell. You're welcome.

I hope you're right, I don't like it being for just the elite, your kind should be able to buy something too.

I told you, Gay Bay has to pay me to come there. You have to pay to go there, that's the difference between us.

And they pay me through the nose, I can assure you.
 
You better work on your skills then, it's high society...
It's trash. But the tech companies will pay good. I won't set foot in the area for under $10k an hour. And then it's only in town long enough to get the check, sign a few autograph, pose for a few pictures and back on a plane and get the hell out of there.

That limo ride from the airport to your hotel is one of the most depressing you will ever see. Human and structural decay everywhere.
