The internet reacts to Tyson Fury’s destruction of Deontay Wilder (and that whole blood licking thing)
We knew Wilder-Fury II was going to be an epic bout, but what we didn’t know was how lopsided it would be.
Fury finished off Wilder in the seventh round by TKO, in a fight that was sheer domination by the Gypsy King.
He talked the talk. And he walked the walk. ?

Tonight, Tyson Fury was the most agile, skilled, head-bobbing, in-shape 273-pound boxer I could’ve imagined. Sure shocked me.

That was a bell-to-bell beating that Tyson Fury put on Deontay Wilder. Two knockdowns. Wilder didn’t win a round. Didn’t win a minute. What a performance by Tyson Fury.

But credit to Wilder, he didn’t go down quietly:
I’ll give Wilder this – he’s got heart
— Chris Broussard (@Chris_Broussard) February 23, 2020
Unfortunately heart doesn’t win you titles.
The Gypsy King finished how he entered.
While Wilder walked to the ring….Fury Rode

All hail Fury.
We expected nothing less from ‘The Gypsy King’!
