It will most likely be like the Wilder Breazeale fight, a few early back and forths followed by a brutal Wilder knockout.
Have heard conflicting reports today and it's difficult to know what the score is? One fella swears that all of Fury's molecules have fallen apart. Says Andy Lee and Sugar Hill had to use a vacuum cleaner to hoover up the mist and then put it into a balloon which they stuck Fury's face on for the weigh in. Said come the fight itself Fury will have to be weighted down with concrete boots or he'll simply blow up into the roof of the MGM Grand. Whereas my friend Terry swears that Tyson Fury is now made of copper. He's refused to have any water at ring side and will only allow a can of WD40 to ensure he doesnt seize up between rounds. Terry says that aside from squeaking when he moves, Fury now emits a strange glow from his eyes and faint jets of steam from his ears as if there's a furnace burning in his head. He can't confirm it but suggests Fury may be the first steam powered boxer to fight in Nevada.
For what my two penny’s worth as a fury fan is. He’s legs have given up the ghost, instead of pulling out he’s gonna try plant he’s feet and punch his way to victory. You can’t close the distance against Deontay by slipping you have to follow a jab. Who was the king of following the jab immediately with a booming right down the pipe? Wladimir....
I have to say that I'm not certain that the Eddie Hearn rumor comment related to the ankle injuries, but instead problems in the camp with his weight, strategy, or mental health. Just a hunch maybe.
Disagree. Fury has a bigger heart than any of the other top heavys have ever shown. He was shi*e against wallin and with the cut he stood in the pocket an beat him up.
I truly hope that Fury can perform at this weight because so many casual fans are watching. This would be terrible for the sport to see him get blown out due to the various issues coming into the match. Let's see a great contest between two fighters at their peak.
That's fine and all, but his movement will be effected by the extra weight. Boxing is a game of inches you know? Maybe those punches which were missing by inches will now be connecting. Then what?
It’s going to be interesting more so how Wilder handles the extra weight then Fury... Fury’s use to carrying the extra weight where Wilders not and if it goes into the later rounds it’s going to be interesting to see how Wilders legs hold up
I agree he’s definitely sacrificing some mobility. But if it comes down to a battle of wills there’s only 1 winner.
Final poll results: 124-113-4 (Fury/Wilder/draw...but the specific outcome with the most votes is Wilder by stoppage)
