Comments Thread For: Wilder: Fury Fought As Dirty As Possible, But Bayless Let Him Get Away With It

[IRONCHINHAGLER]

It is always hilarious to me when Deontay or his fans complain about rabbit punching.

So Fury should be DQd because Wilder turned his head and ducked away and was hit in the ear, but the exact same thing happened in the first fight when he knocked down Fury in the 9th except Fury was ducking, not turning away. Deontay literally aimed a punch downward to hit him in the back or side of the head but that's just fine.

I dont hear any of you saying Wilder should get DQd for his many many examples of hitting the back of people heads. Stiverne and Fury are just 2 examples of him getting knockdowns from his windmill punches to the back of the head. That's why Bayless warned him. It's a known tactic of his.

Amen!! Windmill Wilder has done that in numerous fights!! Just can’t stand that the overrated self- proclaimed “baddest man on the planet “ got punked and beatdown by Fury in the biggest HW fight in years!!!

Fury did fight dirty but Bayless did a great job. He warned Fury then deducted a point. There wasn’t much Bayless can do about the wrestling other than call the fight off as a whole, or deduct more points and no ref is gonna insert themselves into a big HW PPV like that, that many people are paying to see.

Wilder needs to learn from this, next time move your head and feet and don’t be a target for grabbing, headlocks and smothering. Wilder was a sitting duck, Bayless couldn’t help him with that. You gotta help yourself by moving, ducking, and dodging.

First the leg now he fought dirt you sound like Hillary Clinton excuses excuses

Not to get bogged down into excuses, but Fury did fight dirty. How many times did he just keep Wilder's neck in a lock? He would have beaten him regardless, but for objectivity sake Wilder is right.

You shouldn't have posted this, people will be out hunting you down. The damage has already been done. Not Fury's fault. He came to win and won. Now it doesn't matter. Wilder is a hated man and haters will love to see him get ambushed, by hook or crook. You hardly get a ref like the one in Parker/Joshua fight. He was very close to the action and every time Parker came close the ref intervened. If the ref didn't do that, the outcome of that fight would have been different.

The truth is unsettling the 'Fury-Faithful'. These video clips of Tyson's illegal strikes in Wilder-Fury II in slow-motion reveals to the objective-mind that Fury did not beat Deontay 'Bronze-Bomber' Wilder in a fair fight. Fury's rep as a cheat only further grew.

Also, Tyson's failure to keep Wilder down, despite considerable weight-gain, rabbit-punches and a impressive arsenal of fouls also debunks the new ridiculous notion that Phooey's 'Kronk' training has now transformed him into a vicious puncher.

Again, a (I'm assuming) wilder fan who calls out Fury for a looping lunch that lands on the side of the head but no acknowledgement that Deontay was doing the exact same thing in this fight, and in basically every fight of his career.

^Two more rabbit-punches for the record.

This has nothing to do with being a 'Wilder fan', its about reviewing and assessing the grade of this victory and its legitimacy. Based on the evidence, Tyson took a loss as much as Wilder.

I will admit Deontay did retaliate, however when Kenny Bayless refused to DQ Tyson Fury, what choice did Deontay have?

Still no acknowledgement that Wilder always does this. It's part or his game.
I'll do you one better. I went back and watched the fight. The very first clinch and then punch while holding was initiated at about 1:05 or so of the second round. Guess who did it? Wilder.

As far as rabbit punching outside the clinch, both of them were throwing looping punches. I don't think either of them intend to hit the back of the head, it's just the nature of having long arms and the other guy moving away. So most of it is unintentional for sure. From both guys. They both did it. The reason you have all these examples of Firy doing it is that Fury's punches were actually hitting in this fight.

As far as the first time that a fighter grabbed the other and hit behind the head, it was ten seconds into the fourth round. Fury clinched, and guess who threw the punch to the side/back of the head? Wilder.

So stop this nonsense that Wilder was only retaliating. He was the first to clinch and hit, and the first to clinch and hit behind the head with a rabbit punch.

He also hit Fury with the same one-two that had a right hand landing on the ear area in the 9th round of the first fight that fury did to him in the 3rd in the second fight.

One more thing. It is easy for you to use slow motion to point out after the fact that a punch landed behind the head. It isnt the easiest thing to see in real time, nor did it appear intentional when either guy did it in this fight. The only times it looks intentional are from Wilder doing his windmill thing, or aiming down into the back of the guy who is ducking's head like the first knockdown in fight 1.

[Dirk_Skirkly]

And in the fourth round, at about 2:05, wilder clearly swings around Fury's arm and aims for the back of his head. Then they clinch, then wilder punches at the back of his head again.
Up until those two examples of rabbit punching, before that they were wrestling but hitting each other with body shots, which again Wilder was the first to do. The first two examples of deliberate striking behind the head in clinches were Wilder. And in the second clinch example, he was aiming for the back of Fury's head right before the clinch.

So stop your complaining that Wilder was only retaliating. As far as I saw, Fury was the one who was giving Wilder a taste of his own medicine. He just did it better.

Lol Deontay needs to learn something about losing with dignity rather than coming up with a load of BS excuses

He blames anybody but himself. The truth is what it's always been, he's a limited boxer with a missile of a right hand. He's done well for himself despite his limitations but finally met an opponent who could handle it.

[j.razor]

PS you clearly lost the 1st fight as well. How that was called a draw was a disgrace

If there were no or 1 knock down then you would have a case BUT the fact that some rounds were close AND there was TWO knockdowns you have no case.

[j.razor]

Wilder threw tons of rabbit punches just as he did first time. His little B.S draw was because he landed a rabbit punch to get a flash knockdown in a round he was losing.

Just stop with the tears already. You lost and you are not good.

No, YOU always lose & YOU are NO GOOD at breaking down boxing, period

You also are ignoring the punches (not rabbit punches) that Fury landed in this fight that originally hurt D.Wilder & had him with spaghetti the rest of the fight

[nacho daddy]

Damn!!

They should have stopped the fight earlier.

Deontay clearly suffered brain damage.

with what brain?
