In the vast universe of combat sports, certain moments transcend time, leaving an indelible mark. Terence Crawford and Joe Rogan, giants in their domains, recently took a deep dive. The subject? The electrifying Wilder vs. Fury trilogy. Their conversation, peppered with awe and reverence, took unexpected turns. Rogan likened a moment to a wrestling spectacle, invoking the ghostly rise of ‘The Undertaker’.

Odd? Maybe. Intriguing? Definitely. In a world where boxing often dances on the line of theatrics and sheer athleticism, their discussion pulls back the curtain. But why would two heavyweights of the combat world get so animated about a past bout? The answer lies not just in the punches thrown, but in the stories behind them.

Terence Crawford reflects: The intense drama of three legendary fights

The Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury trilogy is a testament to modern boxing’s spirit, encapsulating raw power, technique, and resilience. It’s no wonder then, that this epic showdown remains a fervent topic of discussion in sporting circles.

In their first face-off, Wilder unleashed his signature power, flooring Fury. But, displaying an almost supernatural resilience, Fury rose, surprising fans and critics alike. By the time the second bout rolled around, Fury, having decoded Wilder’s strategy, turned the tables. He took the fight head-on, pushing Wilder on the backfoot and eventually dominating the match. The third fight, while it echoed the intensity of the previous two, highlighted the athletes’ tactical evolutions and sheer determination.

Recently, this trilogy caught the attention of Terence Crawford and Joe Rogan, leading to a captivating exchange. Terence Crawford began, “Deontay Wilder, if he throws a couple of times with a right hand, if you ain’t Tyson Fury you’re going to sleep.”

Joe Rogan responded animatedly, “He’s the only dude. The first fight was bananas. When he catches him with the right hand and the left hook and he (Deontay) thought it was over. Motherf***er rises like the undertaker. I was like there’s no way.”

Pondering, Crawford shared, “I thought he came back and won the rest of the rounds.” Rogan, eager to dissect the fights further, added, “And then he took that strategy in the next fight. He realized that Deontay doesn’t fight as well when you’re going after him. So then he dominates the second fight, dominates the third.”

Ending on a contemplative note, Crawford offered, “I tell everybody, I think both fighters won that fight, the first fight. I say it because any other fighter if they get dropped like that, they was gonna call it off. Any other fighter they would’ve counted it out. I feel like Tyson Fury won on points, he was winning the fight. He got up still winning. Second fight, Tyson Fury hands down. But the third fight Deontay Wilder could’ve made it a better, interesting fight. But he got tired, he was working real well.”
