What does Conor McGregor think of the Fight
Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder battled it out for the second time on the 22nd of February 2020 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Tyson Fury came out victorious in the rather one-sided bout. And Conor tells us how.
Tyson Fury took complete control of the fight right from the beginning. He took the fight to wilder. Wilder though considered to be a knockout specialist was KO’d himself in the 7th round. How did Tyson manage to pull this off?
Conor McGregor appreciates Fury’s dedication. He says Fury stuck to the plan his trainers gave him which resulted in him winning. Most fighters seem to drift away from their pre-set plans mid-fight, but not Fury. He stuck to his game plan throughout the fight and got the KO in the 7th round. Wilder gave ground easily. He was no match to the power-packed shots Fury threw at him.
The 19 pounds Fury put on since their last meeting evidently made a major difference. Fury packed a heavier punch and Deontay didn’t see this coming. Deontay was the crowd favorite to take this bout. Fury being the underdog made this win even tastier!
Conor commented, “Fury vs. Wilder II was my kind of fight. A proper fight between two beasts who talk a good game and throw heavy punches.” Conor took this opportunity to plug his whiskey brand and continued, “Tyson Fury is special. He’s got Irish in his blood. I sent both fighters a bottle of my Proper whiskey and they both deserved a Proper shot or two after that bout. I deeply respect these fighters! What a show!”
