Personally I like Tyson Fury and his comeback story of honest redemption however I am being realistic. . . . If Wilder follows this fight plan and uses his jab again and again and again and occassionaly throws a straight right hand he will begin to dominate midway through the fight and take Fury into the later rounds and as Tyson tires his corner will either stop the fight or the referee will (rounds 9 or 10).
Wilder would have really struggled to land the jab on Fury at his peak and I feel it will be a cagey fight like the Ortiz fight, with Tyson`s lack of conditioning coming into play the same way it did for Ortiz when he tired and got sloppy.
I am leaning towards Wilder based upon my own questions about Fury’s condition and commitment. I think Fury is the better boxer, but have doubts about whether he should have taken this fight this soon? 2 years ago I would pick this different. I think it is about a 50/50 fight at this stage, and even though I don’t think super highly of Wilder I am giving him a slight edge going in. We will see
If Wilder gets crazy and starts throwing his windmill punches early and often its possible that Fury could catch him with a few shots big shots during the first part of the fight.
If Fury was ready id have a completely different view on this fight, i think Wilders an awful Boxer and although Fury isnt a known puncher and Wilders chin isnt as bad as some people make out Fury can hit hard enough stop him should Wilder present his chin to him all stuck up in the air, something thats hes known for doing in all his fights due to his bad boxing skills and footwork. But its not, Fury is lacking in sharpness and speed and that just slows him down as a target, he may feel he can just get out the way of Wilders bombs but his brain and body are not up to speed yet and hes guna get clipped. Which is exactly why Wilders took this fight now. Wilders resume screams no decent fighters in prime condition for a reason.
I could see this fight going either way but imagine Wilder’s speed may be a fight tipping factor. Fury’s superior skills coupled with his reflexes and timing could definitely neutralize the speed but, Wilder isn’t always predictable in his delivery and isn’t easily timed, doesn’t always throw the fastball but it’s scorching when he does. But I won’t be surprised whichever wins, both have already exceeded my expectations. But if I had to call it on a straight up bet, my money would go on Wilder mainly beacaue of his ability to deliver his power lightning fast when he wants to.
Wilder bladders Fury Fury gets to his feet before the count of 10, but glassy eyed and wobbly. Referee waves it off.
