    Many years ago, I was invited back to a young lady's house to listen to Buzzcocks records.

    Also, when youve dragged yourself back up from a knock down that brutal, and Wilder goes in for the kill, and you know the ref is checking you and getting in close, what do you do when youre struggling to throw back?
    Take a couple of steps back, hands behind the back and show the ref youre comfortable. When youre anything but.

    If Tyson didn't have a bum and a dosser ? as his only fights after a bit of a lay off, a lot of beer and high class cocaine, then would he have been caught in the 12th?
    I don't think so. The first knock down was a slap on the back of the head too. 
    I also don't think he will lose it this time. 
    He has a purpose. You seen the interview where he looks down the camera and adresses peoole who have mental illness. Bloke's on a mission for now.
    He's too intelligent for his own good. Surrounded mainly by morons. Not so much now. Which helps.
    Last time he won the belts, had 1 stripped straight away, had a poxy presser at the Macron Stadium, got kicked oit of SPOTY, didn't get the recognition his performancr deserved etc.
    Now he has it all. If he behaves himself  he can complete a boxing story that wil be hard to beat. A title in May, a showdown with Joshua in December, SPOTY 2019, mental health crusader. 
    Who'd have thought that when watching his Instagram this time last year when they had to force him in a car to get him to the South of Spain? I've watched the whole come back and doubted him the whole way. Not any more.

    I always liked Fury but I love him now. That interview where he addresses the camera (something he rarely does) was emotional I thought. 
    The guy needs to realise he still has mental health problems. You can't cure it! You live with it. He's an unstable character and I hope you're right. I hope he is 100% focused. 
    It's great to read the headlines today from the Media. The ones that have pounced on every slip up or unprofessional "lad" behaviour. The ones that never mentioned the Joshua racism tweet. They're full of praise today. Championing him. 
    I bet when he set on the path to be the villain to AJ's hero in a 50/50 split he never thought he'd stand a chance of being the good guy. 
    Serious talks, 1 incredible fight and 10st lighter he's won over almost everyone. As you say, could be one hell of a story! 
    Praying that he completes this second chapter now he's proven he's still got 'it'

    I can only imagine his legs were jelly, his arms ached, his fists were sore, breathing heavy... his body telling him to stay down but somewhere he must have felt like if he could finish the round then he's WBC heavyweight Champion of the World. 
    No way does he get up from that unless he knew he was seconds from a massive win.

    Horrific decision. 
    But Tyson is still chasing a title. Might be the decision that gets him a huge home fight, a huge following, SPOTY 2019 but most of all....
    Keeps him off the coke a bit longer. Not joking either.

    Pauli had it spot on in commentary. What an absolute joke. Glad to see Fury was still upbeat in the post match conference.  Still don’t know how Fury got up from that knockdown in the 12th round. Wilder’s face was hilarious after that. Full credit to Fury

    114-112 Fury.
    And that's being as kind to Wilder as I can be in the opening rounds.
    Very surprised he got up from that knockdown in the 12th. 
    How that judge got 115-111 to Wilder is mad.

    Watched the whole fight now. Fury only lost the rounds he was knocked down in and the first knockdown he was mainly off balance. 
    He even won the 2 rounds between the knockdown rounds.

    People who pip their horn when pulling up to someone's house when picking them up. 
    a)  Get out and knock on their door.
    b) They should be looking out for you already so a) should not be necessary.
    c) If you are lazy and they aren't the type to be ready, give them a phone call, text or whatsapp message.
    Whatever you do, stop beeping your horn at 6am to let them know you are outside. Inconsiderate twits.
