Wilder balance left after the eardrum perforation in round 3. He couldn't line up his haymaker after that.

Everytime he tried to clinch, Fury would press down on his neck and ragdoll him around, sapping any little balance he had left, then give him a takeaway punch on every clinch.

I can't say I'm disappointed in Wilder. He's simply a knockout artist who got his only weapon taken away with that ear shot in 3rd round. I'm sure he will argue he would have done better if not for the eardrum perforation.
When you're faced with a man that is not scared of your knockout power you just have to come up with another strategy. I mean we all laughed it off when Fury said he was going to put Wilder out in the 2nd round

However even if casuals like us laugh it off Wilder and his camp should have prepared for that eventuality. I mean by the time the fight started I was like ohh shyte Fury was not joking around. And if you think about it it made sense because Fury must have felt he didn't want this fight in the hands of the judges again and risk getting robbed.

Ultimately Wilder fell because of his hubris and belief that there is only one way to win a fight. I would have expected he at least got on his bike and moved around the 20+ foot ring and try to see if Fury can carry that 270 pounds the duration of the fight

Wilder will opt in to his rematch. The financial penalty of paying Wilder to chill will be too much. So they have to fight Wilder rematch by summer hopefully while AJ fight Pulev, then pay Usyk to forego in November/December
If Wilder is smart he will look away from that fight. One fighter hanging 3 L's on you will not be a good look at all. Let him go and re-strategize because the gulf in boxing skills he will not make up in 4 months.

He failed to beat Fury at his weakest so I don't know when he plans on beating him.

I don't know why Usyk is even in the conversation for a title shot. He's good but man's has not fought anybody. He should fight a Whyte or Chisora first let's see his credentials

Black people won't forgive Wilder. He walked in celebrating black history month, talking black power sturvs and ended up disgracing all the black icons he projected onto the screen. Imagine Mohammed Ali losing to a white boy after taking black power angle. NAACP will cancel his blackness after this.
Lmaoooo black people will be fine. Wilder simply ran into agbako and him body gats kako

All these permutations go out of the window when you realize AJ has a suspect chin.
AJ does not have Fury’s chin, heart, or boxing skills.

AJ vs Wilder is about who catches who first.
Difference is that while AJ needs combos to catch Wilder, Wilder needs just a punch.
Neither did Oliver McCall but we saw what he did to Lennox. I have seen bigger upsets so I no dey call fight like that

AJ has enough power to sleep Wilder whether by one punch or combos. Combos actually do the more lasting damage. I said it here after the Ortiz fight that this Wilder bobo don cast.

I told you bro. I said it last year . Fury is the Man cheesy
Brilliant as Fury was I was extremely disappointed in Wilder today.

I suspected AJ had more of a chance than people claimed after the Ortiz fight but didn't expect Fury to completely wipe the floor with him and I'm now big mad at Eddie Hearn and crew. Perhaps Wilder's body would have been on his CV and he wouldn't have picked up an unnecessary L to that teletubby

I done tell una since.

All the Wilder and Joshua fans know say Fury is the best, na sentiment make them talk otherwise

A40, Airmark, put that in your pipe and smoke it!
A40:
No. He got away with it because Ortiz's ass was too old. You really think Wilder would have escaped with that strategy whatever it was with a younger fighter?

It's not even about avoiding but more about utilizing your dominance at any point of the fight. I'm encouraged by what I saw from AJ today so whether Ortiz is technically and fundamentally better is moot. He doesn't possess the power to press home his advantage. Plus he's really not fought anybody if we are keeping it a buck bat Wilder

I would rather AJ faces Wilder than Fury. I've seen lesser fighters wobble Wilder too many times. None of them possesses AJ's power
Be like Ibime has started drinking Sapele water again. This was me after the Ortiz fight.

If I believed AJ could kpokpo him then how much more Fury

Lool bigger upsets have happened in the history of boxing. AJ will lose all respect on these streets if he doesn't arrange that fight expeditiously.

In fact they need to throw the Pulev and Usyk fight inside dustbin. This is the only fight we want to see

I watched the documentary about Fury's family ligfe in the build up to the fight.

AJ was on video call asking for a fight cheesy
This fight should be easier to make. Monster payday. For all the marbles

AJ has no story again. His camp must make this fight happen. AJ has nothing to lose and no unbeaten record to protect and everybody expects him to lose anyway

We want AJ vs Fury now. No more stories

A third fight between Fury and Wilder would be silly at this point. The streets already agree you lost the first fight, and then you got soundly beaten in the second.

AJ vs Fury next por favor

Stop early ke? He stopped it two rounds late. The beating Ruiz gave Joshua was child's play compared to this one.

If Wilder suffer CTE we will hold this ref responsible

These boys I am seeing are not ready. I can easily see us struggle vs Chelsea.

We have an annoying habit of losing intensity in the 2nd half any serious side will punish us for that
We played down to the competition. I won't overreact based on this game.

However I still think we are one of the most wasteful outfits in Europe and we are always good to concede a goal or two, this is what worries me

Man, stop that emotional blackmail stuff - it aint gonna work here.. If you believe gender is fluid, go ahead and believe for yourself. The issue is trying to emotionally bully and recruit other people into your beliefs. We know what has happened to people who tried to speak their minds on this issue - see how they dealt with Tim Hardaway. The LGBTQIA+ (they are still adding letters o grin ) that are forming victim are the people trying to convert everyone else instead of live and let live.

It is one thing to respect other people's beliefs like LBJ, CP3, Melo etc will do as businessmen and icons. This is not the case with Wade, - there seems to be a genuine seed of confusion that has been planted in this man, to where even his own identity is now transforming.

And we know how the media, especially Hollywood likes to make black men pay the price for fame and access - preferably by denying their masculinity. This is what appears to be going on here. I hope Wade has enough real friends and family to help him find himself in the web of lies that he is struggling with - his wife wont do it. The primary lie is that he needs to accept nonsense to keep his fame and status. Real success comes from God, not men. And somebody needs to remind him!!

85% of Liverpool's EPL opponents did not qualify for UCL.

If only 15% of Liverpool's EPL opponents are good enough to compete in UCL, it explains the sudden drop in win percentage.
Me I'm just waiting for anybody to show me the team that won the CL and League unbeaten.

Everyone knows the quality of Competition in league vs Europe is not comparable. Heck Pep has won 5 league titles but cannot buy a CL Final appearance since 2012. What other proof do you need

Greatihex:
how do you think Chelsea would have won 25 out of 26 when they had a Liverpool, arsenal and Tottenham that was strong enough to at least take some points from them?
I recall Ancelotti's debut season at Chelsea. He beat Chelsea, United and Tottenham home and away. Why didn't they take points off Chelsea?

If Carlo was consistent against the smaller teams he would have challenged for the record Liverpool have set now. So your theory is pure Okoto.

Greatihex:
How do you think Chelsea would be topping with 22 points when they had a Tottenham and City that could amass much points as to not be 22 points behind?
Alaye I no dey for your salaye. Show me a season 3 teams have totaled 90 points to affirm your theory

Chelsea never played to the level Liverpool is playing now so how do they amass the points required to be ahead

Greatihex:
I don't think you really understand the argument.
The argument is not about whether Liverpool would have won in any other season or not, but that the form and point gap wouldn't have been what it is for Liverpool today, if the other team were not shit this season.

Period! I am done with this argument.
You're the one that doesn't understand your argument. Liverpool has been better than the competition. Whether the point gap is high or low is moot. There is no version of Chelsea in the last 5 seasons that would not be 15 points behind Liverpool now, same for United and Tottenham and Arsenal.

The competition is not why Liverpool have not lost enough points. After all they have built a large enough lead to be complacent like they got last season. The teams could be weak and Liverpool could have still lost 2 or 3 matches

Greatihex:
now you are sounding funny with the bolded.

Do you think it is impossible to have another team with a good form? That when City and pool are amassing points, the other team will not amass points too?
Good form yato si historical form. It's not possible to have more than two teams play at such a high level. We have not seen it before and it's not by accident

Greatihex:
Now, let us take the season conte won the league with Chelsea for example.

Don't you think that Chelsea would have also run away with the league if Tottenham and Manchester City didn't put up any kind of challenge?
Arsenal and Liverpool were also having a team that is strong.
Chelsea would have ran away with the league if they won 25 of their first 26 matches. Period

What part of the bar has been raised too high do you not understand?

I have shown you that City's best performance in the last 110 years is the only result that will be within 10 points of this Liverpool so what Okoto meow challenge are you talking about?


Greatihex:
In short, if you think that there is no way another team would have been as strong as Liverpool and City last season in the league, then there is no point having this argument, because you have decided to throw your reasoning away just because you think that I am hating on Liverpool and you want to do anything to defend them.
There is no way. And if there is the sensible thing would be to show me instead of yarnin all this Okoto meow kutukutu meow skrrrrrrrr skrr

Since you started watching EPL which year have you seen 3 teams finish on 90 something points.

I wonder if his good friends LBJ, CP3, Melo will say something - seriously though, how do you talk to a friend brother about something like this? Or do you just keep quiet and move on.
It's one thing to come out and say your erstwhile Son now identifies as Tran and show your support privately. This man's is literally going on tour hitting every media outlet there is and just doing too much.

The league opponents are posting points haul which is the lowest in recent years
We've seen that it is historically impossible to win both in Europe and the league. No team has ever done this so why do you expect it from Liverpool?

But the gap between the 3rd and the 15th is arguably the closest it's ever been. Nobody has had an answer for Liverpool same way nobody had answer for Pep not long ago

Pick a year, any year, the gap in point total would be insurmountable because no team has ever been as consistent
