I think he may be referencing the display of skillset from both boxers.
Though Wilder was no different from the last two outings. Fury's performance can be more scrutinized I guess.
Tim WitSherspoonDog made the same assessments. It was more a Rocky type fight which appealed to casuals, it had tide changes, it had the high stakes and bad blood story line, but if you were looking for the sweet science, some back and forth technical marvel, it did not really have that. Wilder, in particular, was just terrible technically, holding his hands half the time in a crossed position vs in a proper defensive position, started the jabs to the body but never followed with the over hand right, and just winging windmill recklessly after he gassed in three minutes.
Peter Fury is big on wearing down smaller opponents without hitting them, and Tyson used that extensively. He would pop him with a one two then clinch, and tho it looked ugly, was even frustrating at times as it seemed like if he stayed at range he could have finished him, but it was all part of the plan to destroy Deontay's legs and take away his power completely to minimize risk when the finish presented itself.
The real issue also is - Tyson, like Usyk vs AJ - is just so superior to their opponents that it looks like their opponents are a deer in the head lights or not trying to box. The reality is they are trying, but throwing and missing, getting countered will have it's consequences. It was not that AJ did not do well or tried hard, it was that Usyk was just on a totally different level. In this regard, I am not sure how poorly Wilder did vs his old self vs how Tyson just froze him. I was watching Tyson box at 17 the other day, and even then, after boxing for only a few years, he appeared far and away technically superior to this Deontay. He is just a prodigy, a freak, and these type of athletes make everyone look like shit.
