Tyson Fury Or Deontay Wilder? Spoiler! Third Time This Weekend

I found I could at eat at 6 and be in gym OK for 7:30 but I never did cardio. If you can separate the 2, you may find you can eat later and train earlier.

I haven't done any serious weight work for about a year now, I can hold a pencil under my moobs :-D

More recently, I realised I need to do some cardio - I started Park Run 5K's a couple of months ago after a 6 year break (when I only did 7 of them in the summer of 2015). Having not run at all since before Xmas '20, my first time was just shy of 33 mins (it's a hilly woodland course). I did a new PB of 26:59 on my 8th run last Sat. At 51 and 13.5 stone, I'm chuffed with that.

Just need to get back to the gym now and do some resistance work.

Good luck with your training.

 

Thread drift…. Caught some of the Boston marathon on tv and they said the lead guy had done the first 5km in about 14 min 30. When I use to ‘jog’ quite a lot I was still only 29 min.

Back on thread, kind of. Some are built with a far more natural inner fitness. The kind of person who looks very overweight but runs marathons. Fury clearly sits in that camp

 

Crazy isn't it? I watched the Olympic marathon this year and they were doing similar times for the entire 26+ miles....

On topic - if even TF is carrying a bit of pud, given his performance on Sat, there's no way on this earth I'd spill his pint!

 

Oh you into the white collar matches. The ones that you get put into a ring with someone that has twice the ability and size and just beats ya to a pulp lol

 

I turned 40 this year and last time I was cardio fit was 35 had just done 10 year in the prison service and it dictated some semblance of fitness ran at lunch for an hour each day etc and was clocking 8-9 hour Yorkshire three peaks and had done a white collar boxing so was a svelte 13.5 stone fast forward five years a change of career a divorce a deteriorating right knee and really only going to gym sporadically to do weights in that time I have lost a large swathe of cardio am dreading trying to earn some back

 

To this DAY!

 

Just watching that again, I’m amazed that Wilder made it that far as he was more or less out on his feet from about the 6th round onwards. He showed amazing guts to keep going but it’s a real pity he cancelled that out by making a prick of himself when he refused to shake hands with Fury afterwards. Obviously he will have been devastated by the loss and disoriented with concussion but I haven’t seen or heard of any explanation or apology from him after he calmed down and got his wits together again. It’s a shame it ended that way because it was a great fight otherwise.

 

Looking forward to this one in a few weeks. It got aggy at the press conference and was worth watching just to see Canelo’s cat-like reactions with a beaut of a left hook counter punch.

Read this yesterday, an explanation of sorts as to Wilders behaviour.

I read something similar the other day but it’s not really much of an explanation and it’s not even from Wilder himself.

 

IMO, that’s the best you’re going to get by way of any kind of explanation.

I doubt Wilder will say anything on the matter other than what you find on YouTube immediately after the fight in Fury’s/Wilders exchange.

 

Because Wilder is delusional and probably suffering mental health problems. Yes, he had a go, but he had to really after all the shite he’d been spouting Fury ‘cheating’ As you say he was definitely in with a shout up to round 6. After that the fight morphed into Wilder v Fury II. He’s a one trick pony. Take away his explosive right hand and he’s pretty dam average. Of course Wilder nearly won it in the 4th. But take that away and it was a hiding.

 

I'm the polar opposite, I bloody hate training at home, had to during lockdown BS, kept it up, but got bored and unmotivated really quickly. I'm fortunate to have (probably) the best gym in the SW within walking/peddling distance from my sofa.
As you say though, for many the hardest part is getting off said sofa, brushing of the magic Cheeto fairy dust any actually attending.

 

Fury said Wilder is the 2nd best heavy weight around. And no one else is going to give him the battering Fury did. I also think Fury is very fortunate there's no one like Holmes, Lewis or Holyfield around at the moment.

 

It’s only ever opinion, and often with rose tinted glasses, but Tyson and Lewis would have had him out cold in a few rounds in their prime. But maybe not later in their career

 

Lewis, no doubt. Not sure about Mike Tyson, I think Fury may have smothered him.

 

at his prime mate he’d knock anyone out.

 

Me too. Especially after 5 or 6 cans… I’ll tek the lorra yers…. Aargh….
