Deontay Leshun Wilder vs. Tyson Luke Fury II

Wilder getting booed at weigh is what I find interesting... Lost more of the home crowd advantage from going vegas. Will be the experience if fans ramp up the singing in the fight.

 

not really

 

Deontay's was given a couple of protein shakes the other day okay by the bomb squad!? He is not a juicer like that primma donna bodybuilder Joshua! He 's straight from the olympia that one is.

 

So both weigh in significantly heavier than last time, 273 v 231.

My head tells me this is looking bad for Fury. I've long had doubts he's got one last big hurrah in the tank, suspecting his comeback fight against Wilder was in truth his be all and redemption.

Throw in the WWE distractions, the change of trainer, the cuts, the rumours of injury and the weight gain. All logic tells me Wilder will starch him this time out.

But my heart and my romantic side is telling me Fury is going to write another insane chapter in his rollercoaster career, possibly the greatest instalment so far.

I don't think his approach has to be so different from the first fight, despite the weight gain. He carries weight well and can still move and outbox Wilder from the outside. What I think we'll see Is more variety, including unexpected (though risky) moves to the inside to lean on and sap Wilder. He can do some damage on the inside and if he does get Wilder tired and makes it to the latter rounds we could then see Fury sit down on his punches and light up Wilder.

The cut of course could change everything. I suspect Fury's ready to go for broke if it opens up to the extent it did against Wallin.

I'm no great fan of Wilder, primarily because of his pimp wardrobe and cringeworthy 'bomb squad' screams, but if he gets Fury out of there he'll deserve all the credit and respect coming his way. After all, no-one else has done it.

This fight could still go to the cards but I wouldn't bet on it. If it does go the distance it's likely to have been brutal in any case. Realistically though, someone's getting knocked out. My head tells me it's Fury who'll fall like a giant redwood in the desert. My heart tells me Fury is going to prove the World and I wrong for the umpteenth time.

 

Fury will stop him early. Still don't think Wilder has improved much.

 

Bang on !

 

Everyone is on peds, get over it.

 

I'm rooting for Fury but I believe Wilder will likely win. I'm concerned about Fury's weight gain, the cut, his history of depression, and talk about attacking Wilder and going for the TKO (I understand the talk could be gamesmanship, but even him just verbalizing it concerns me). Wilder has the great equalizer and I don't think this version of Fury is as good as the one who fought Wilder before. I think Fury was (for him) highly motivated and prepared the first time. I don't see it this time and unfortunately I think Wilder will drop the bomb on him and Fury won't get up this time.

 

probably just added creatine and some push ups in this camp

 

Have you ever fought a two year old on a tricycle? My feet and ankles are still recovering. I was lucky to get a split decision.

 

No way. He has power. He can keep winning and keep earning big money.

 

I'd agree he's jacked up on something and it ain't meldonium.

 

Big Buffet Bermaine III will make big money?

 

And unironically will all be as big a hypocrite as Fury!

 

If Wilder is on PEDs, it's no more than normal. There's no reason that after a full training camp, in which weight management will have been a focus, he can't put on 20lbs over a year. He just looks how he was before Stiverne 2.
