The Story of the Fight – Fury Vs Wilder 3
This was an incredible heavyweight bout, and a possible fight of the year contender.
Round One
Deontay Wilder narrowly edged this round, landing several jabs to Fury’s body, but Tyson Fury did land some heavy shots towards the end of the round, one of which visibly rocked Wilder in the final seconds.
Round Two
Wilder continued to move as he had in the first round, but Fury perhaps edged a close round in which both men did land heavy shots. Fury’s left-right combination once more proved a problem for Wilder.
Round Three
In the third round, Fury knocked Wilder down with a good combination, after Wilder had started to appear leggy, and had thrown some wild shots; his jab-the-body game-plan deteriorated under intense pressure from Fury’s heavy jabs and left hooks, and he looked to be reverting to his more familiar “head-hunting” style, swinging big rights from too far away to cause Fury problems. When he got felled, with under a minute left in the round, Wilder easily made the ten-count. After the knockdown, Fury looked to end this bout early, but was perhaps a little over-eager, as he failed to land anything but glancing blows, before the bell rang to end an action-packed third round.
Round Four
In the fourth, Wilder still looked somewhat leggy and tired, however midway through the round Fury, still looking to land a knockout blow, failed to lead an approach with a jab and walked onto a powerful right from Wilder which visibly rocked him. He remained on his feet for a few moments, before crashing to the canvas in the corner. He was up for the ten count, having regained his breath, but went down again later in the round from another right, this time to the side of the head, which did not land fully flush, again surviving the count, before being saved by the bell.
This was a proper heavyweight contest!
Round Five
Amazingly, following the knockdowns, Fury had quickly regrouped, and began to assert his dominance – as Wilder, fresh from the Round four knockdowns – swung hard but not close to target, looking to score a knockout; Fury clinched wisely and landed solid jabs and combinations.
Round Six
Wilder was looking tired, and failing to land his big shots; and, when they did find their target, Fury seemed to be shaking them off. Fury was leaning on Wilder in close, and doing better work inside, which seemed to be draining Wilder’s energy. When he landed it, Fury’s solid jabbing left hand was doing real damage, as it kept Wilder out of range. The difference between the two fighters was also Fury’s superior head movement – Wilder struggled to land, while Fury was scoring with damaging shots frequently.
Round Seven
Fury won this round and was beginning to assert his dominance in the fight; his left-right combination was repeatedly successfully and Wilder had seemingly no answer to it at this time. Wilder had some wobbles in this round, and looked like he was close to being knocked down around half way through the round. Fury responded by landing repeated powerful body shots, before Wilder got a few swinging shots off which did earn him a little reprieve, before Fury stepped in once more with a stunning combination which, again, looked close to scoring a knockdown. Wilder had to clinch to stay on his feet, leaning on the ropes, and covering up for the final 30 seconds or so.
Round Eight
Fury won the round with better work, and Wilder was looking increasingly tired, particularly in close clinches. With around one minute remaining, Fury landed the left-right combination, not once, not twice, but three times in quick succession, once more rocking Wilder, who looked ready to drop. He again had to clinch to try to recover; before throwing a stray right hand after which he looked completely out of Gas. While Wilder looked very tired, Fury was just landing heavy jabs with the left hand; Wilder clung on to make it out of the round, ending with a sloppy, tired, swinging right hand which missed everything right on the bell, before holding his arm aloft at the end of the round, apparently celebrating staying on his feet in a round which was otherwise a 10-8 to Fury.
Round Nine
Wilder managed to land a few more times in this round, however, apparently without the ferocity of the earlier rounds, as Fury was walking through his shots in this round, and landed the more damaging punches against his tired rival, who was cut and breathing heavily at the end of the round.
Round Ten
Fury scored a 10-8 round with a good knockdown, as the punishment of the previous rounds began to show on Wilder, who had taken more than twice as many blows as his opponent. Fury ducked under another swinging right from Wilder, before turning and landing a heavy right to Wilder’s temple, which put him onto the floor. A supremely groggy Wilder did rise to his feet once more, but he looked battered and exhausted. Fury tried to end the fight here, but Wilder clung on, clinched, and made it to the end of the round; he was still swinging those big rights, but mostly missing. The crowd cheered as Wilder landed one or two shots at the end of this round, but Fury was now shrugging those off, and was walking his man down when the bell sounded.
Round Eleven
A visibly tired Wilder – who had been checked over by the doctor before the round began – was not defending himself well, and Fury finally knocked him out with a big swinging right hook to the temple, after landing several uppercuts in close; the referee waved the bout off without counting, as Wilder was obviously KO’ed, when he fell, and had been taking a lot of powerful shots.
After the Fight
After the bout, Fury headed to Wilder’s corner, and apparently the pair exchanged un-amicable words, with Fury wagging his finger and appearing to say he had won this fight “fair and square” – perhaps in reference to Wilder having made several unsupported claims about the legality of Fury’s gloves in their second bout.
Speaking in interviews, Fury said he had no plans regarding his next opponent, and that he was looking forward to spending some time with his family, after being apart from them for several months.
