Anyone? I'm tired of these prelim bouts. Even the announcers don't care about them. LOL

Laura Elizabeth Ingalls Wilder is facing Bruce "Fists of Fury" Lee. My money is on Bruce. |

It was an exciting fight, and quite surprising. I don't think anyone expected Fury to beat Wilder down the way he did.

I saw a small clip this morning. Fury is a big man, long arms, his opponent was not up to it. Don’t follow the fights anymore, was a regular in the 50s never missed The Guillate Cavalade of Sports on tv. Saw some of the greats.!  |

It's the first heavyweight fight I've been interested in for probably 20 years. I don't go back quite as far as you, but remember Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Holmes heyday. Watched the Ali-Foreman 'Rumble in the Jungle' on PPV at a big coliseum.

I expected Wilder to do much better than he did but after that ring entrance, it was only going to be about Fury. Now we get to see him fight Joshua! Good times.

I watched it on YouTube.
There's too much hugging in heavyweight boxing. I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did.

Best fight of all time and no hugging!

Cannot believe that Wilder is saying that the costume he wore into the ring caused him to lose the fight. He said that it was so heavy that by the second round he had "no legs". I have heard it all now.
