    You can “play” basketball, but you can’t “play” boxing.

    Poor Nate knocked out so hard he has become a meme. I don't know how hard it would be to box with this level of attention, but I certainly don't think it would be easy. Oh and TYSON CLEARLY WON yesterday. Surviving Mike Tyson is winning for Roy Jones Jr, but it does not deserve to be a draw.

    He's definitely suffering from some brain damage plus a mixed combination of drug usage... it's going to get worse for him when he's 60-70...

    Wow. Fury is not human. Wilder was tired in the 4th round. He showed massive heart to last until the 11th. One of the best trilogies in boxing history. Drama was in every fight.

    Didn't even know it was on, and don't know if I'd have paid whatever they were asking. How much was it by the way .... are they up to $100 bucks yet? But yeah might have, especially if I'd have known more about the trilogy aspect and their past fights. The heavyweight division and quality participants lets face it ain't what it used to be after Ali's prime years when I paid to go to the closed circuit theater projections. We used to host fight parties when I got my first projector, still, even though the great lightweight - middleweight progression with Benitez, Duran, Leonard, Hearns, Mugabi, etc and Hagler had run its course by then .... and Iron Mike was over as well. That was in 2001 for that projector. It's been not the same ever since but especially in the heavyweight division with a few exceptions of course of great heavyweights.

    So after seeing the comments above I went to youtube in the wee hours and found one guy with a cell phone that did a decent enough job, close enough (in fact kept zooming in really close but which made it more blurry) and with an unobstructed angle close enough and high enough.

    Wow in spite of being FAT to a superficial degree, as he amazingly has the stamina to go 12 rounds if needed (not often I imagine) ..... Fury is quick with his punches and boxing skill and hits like a mule. I think he takes out Foreman at any age. Just too big even for George and hits too hard. Wilder, as OX stated was all heart after not being able to finish Tyson off the round with the two surprising knockdowns, and had to endure that kind of punishment. It was scary at the end with the closeup this phone guy got of the blood coming out of his left ear. Hopefully that was from a cut or abrasion there. But stay in there he did and kept throwing heavy shots of his own. "Super" heavyweights indeed when Wilder was too small at a chiseled 240 something vs FAT but in shape enough 270 something of Fury.
