To answer Scott’s question —I bough the fight. But not for myself —for my son. I went for a walk in the Hawaiian night air and my son was texting me his round scores. Both of us thought the same thing when blood started coming outta Wilder’s ear: stop the fight before something really bad happens. For all you Wilder fans –he’ll be back. My son told me he was gracious —and more importantly —coherent in post fight interviews. We were both worried for him —but he seems alright.

To be honest, I never thought Fury could win a slug out …and he didn’t. Watch the fight (in slices on various youtube sites) —Fury caught Wilder with a very hard straight left when Wilder rushed him in the first round. Wilder was never right after that. Hence, Fury unleashed.
The licking the blood thing demeans a brave opponent…and demeans boxing…
