Deontay Wilder uncorked a hellacious knockdown in Los Angeles’ Staples Center last weekend.

Wilder was defending his WBC heavyweight title against lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. In the 12th round, Wilder got off a spectacular combination that sent the Englishman crashing down to the canvas.

Many believed Wilder had picked up the knockout win, but somehow, despite looking like he had initially been rendered unconscious, Fury made it to his feet. He was able to stand toe-to-toe with Wilder in order to finish the fight. In the end, everything about the contest was controversial.

The majority of viewers believed Fury, despite being knocked down twice and nearly being finished, out-boxed the American. Also, there’s criticism that the referee didn’t count fast enough when Fury was nearly knocked out. The assertion that the fight should’ve immediately been waved off has also been made.

Wilder has certainly given his position on the matter. After seeing Fury’s eyes roll back into his own head, “The Bronze Bomber” believes the fight should’ve been waved off (via Boxing Scene):

“We seen what he could do, what he was able to do, especially with that get-up,” Wilder said. “That still surprises me. I seen this guy’s eyes roll slowly in the back of his head. And many people felt that should’ve been waved off. Nine out of 10 refs would’ve waved that off.

“I’ve seen many times where they’ve done waved that off. Look at my brother, Malik Scott, when he fought Dereck Chisora. Malik was on his knees at nine, stood up at 10 and they waved it off immediately. I felt like the count was very slow. I felt like there was a lot of delays in there.”

Best In The Game

Wilder clarified he’d stop complaining because of the impact the fight had. The knockout hitter believes he and Fury proved they are clearly the best heavyweights in boxing as of right now:

“But I’m not gonna complain, because we put the heavyweight division on notice, and we did it with me and Fury. It’s not about no other guys or nothing like that. Me and Fury did it like true champions. We came together, we conversated amongst each other and we got this fight done, without involving all the other extra stuff.

“Because we are the best in the division and we wanted to prove to each other who is the best in the heavyweight division. We came in and did that, and it was amazing, and I’m ready to do it again.”

Earlier this year, Tyson Fury closed the book on his trilogy against Deontay Wilder with a second stoppage. But on this day three years ago, there were still plenty of questions about their rivalry, including a little matter of a 10 count. The following article is presented in its original, unaltered form, courtesy of the MMA News Archives.

On This Day Three Years Ago…

[ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED DECEMBER 5, 2018, 11:10 AM]

Over the weekend, Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury put on a tremendous heavyweight contest. Wilder defended his WBC heavyweight title against “The Gypsy King” in a 12 round war. “The Bronze Bomber” was able to knock Fury down twice during the contest despite getting out-boxed by the Englishman for most of the fight. However, the second knockdown Wilder scored in the 12th round was a highly controversial one.

Wilder obliterated Fury, who went down on his back to the canvas, seemingly unconscious. However, somehow, Fury mustered up the strength to get back to his feet and finish the fight. The result was a split draw decision on the judges’ scorecards. Recently, Wilder took to Twitter to make the case that he should’ve actually been declared the winner via knockout.

He shared the following video of his knockdown of Fury, which included a 10-count timer. In the video, Fury doesn’t make it up in time to beat the count:

“Keep the vids coming for The Sick MFs That hate I won, The Blind MFs that can’t face reality and the MFs that just don’t want to see US Succeed”

Former mixed martial arts (MMA) referee Big Jon McCarthy took to Twitter to explain the situation:

“Yes sir, I can explain it to you. You need to understand the mechanics for a knockdown which is as soon as the referee calls the fighter down the time keeper starts a count. The referee moves the standing fighter away towards a neutral corner and then picks up the count from the timekeeper at we will say somewhere around 3 or 4.

“The referee then continues his count up to 10 if the fighter is still down. It is a “10” count not 10 seconds of time. The referee was perfect in this situation. Hope this helps. It was a great fight, wasn’t it”

Do you think Fury beat the 10 count against Wilder?

Tyson Fury: I Don’t Care About The Belts, Really

Boxing’s lineal heavyweight champion of the world, Tyson Fury, doesn’t care about the belts that the division has to offer, as he has more pressing desires.

The post Tyson Fury: I Don’t Care About The Belts, Really appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

Over the weekend (Sat. December 1, 2018), Tyson Fury made a triumphant return to the highest levels of his sport in a heavyweight boxing contest.

Fury challenged Deontay Wilder for the WBC heavyweight title of the world. Many believe Fury did enough to earn the decision victory after 12 rounds, despite being knocked down twice. However, when the decisions were read, a controversial split decision draw was awarded.

Wilder and Fury are likely to rematch one another down the road. But heavyweight king Anthony Joshua still waits in the shadows, and both Fury and Wilder want their crack at the Englishman. Speaking to The Telegraph recently, Fury said he’s a fighting man and is more than willing to rematch Wilder next. However, he hasn’t forgotten about Joshua, who is holding three of ‘his’ belts:

“I would fight Deontay Wilder again because I’m a fighting man and so is Deontay Wilder. I know Deontay Wilder is going to want the rematch, but I can’t speak for him. But you’ve got a guy in England [Joshua] with three belts out of the picture. My belts.”

While most boxers seem to be more focused on making it through their career without a loss, Fury has other aspirations. It seems that Fury simply wants to entertain the masses, and put on the fights that the fans want to see. As for the championship belts, he doesn’t really care for them:

“I hope the best do fight the best because it is great for the fans and great for boxing. That is what we are here to do. We are not here to get a 100-0 record. We are here to put entertaining fights on while we are in the era and active.

“I wouldn’t like to go through my career knowing I didn’t fight the best. I’m sat here with a draw today but everybody knows the truth and I don’t feel any lesser of a man. I know I won that fight, I know it and the world knows it, too.”

But even with Joshua holding what he calls his belts, Fury isn’t too concerned. He said it’s more a matter of pride being the lineal champion anyhow:

“I don’t care about the belts, really. They are just borrowed belts. I don’t really class them as world title belts because I’ve got them at home in my living room. They are all mine still. I’m happy that I’m the lineal heavyweight champion of the world.

“I hold it with pride, respect and honour and it means more to me than any belt ever anyway. To have that great lineage going back to the days of John L Sullivan all the way to today, to have my name among them greats, is a very big achievement.”

Anthony Joshua has broken his silence following Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury calling him out. And the champ is ready to face Wilder in a heavyweight unification bout.

After last Saturday nights controversial decision that saw Wilder retain his WBC champion, he called out Joshua in the middle of the ring.

Replying to a news story on Twitter it would appear that Wilder “very interested” in fighting Joshua. The WBA-WBO-IBF heavyweight champion criticized the American. Then he went on to say that he would fight either man in the future.

“What took this fool so long? Like we ain’t been interested?” Joshua wrote.

“Anyway well done Fury! They wanted to get you because they assumed you was finished. I’ll give you a fair one when you’re ready! Either one of you!”

The 29-year-old Joshua is set to defend his belts against an unnamed opponent at Wembley Stadium on April 13. He most recently defeated Alexander Povetkin this September.

This isn’t the first time talks between the two camps have heated up. The Englishman’s camp was in talks with Wilder over the summer but negotiations broke down.

Because of that, Wilder agreed to fight Fury. Now it looks more likely that we will see Wilder vs, Fury II before we see either man fight Joshua.
