I don’t personally think Fury is in his prime. Nor was he in the first fight it was 12 months after he lost 130lbs FFS. I think Wilder lands and I don’t think Fury’s chin takes it this time. I had Fury getting robbed the first fight so I hope he wins this but I think Wilder actually can improve even more than Fury. He’s hungrier, didn’t have any respect for Fury in the first fight and got completely outclassed while he smothered his work and tried to get the punch to land. I think there’s a bit more method to the madness this time if that’s even possible for Deontay!
If Fury can institute a jab and grab type strategy he wins. The best chance for Fury is make this a wrestling match on the inside and smother Wilder’s work. He can’t run for 12 rounds, we’ve seen that won’t work.
For me the fight is 55%/45% in favor of Fury. I voted that Fury wins by UD and it would be interesting if he can successfully use that more aggressive style he was talking about without getting knocked out, maybe even stop Wilder late. Whoever wins I wouldn't be surprised.
It's probably the most legitimate 50/50 heavyweight fight right now. I'm leaning towards a Wilder late KO 9-12, With Fury leading on all cards at time of happening
Obviously a draw the first time, and it was a hard one to call first time - this time is no different. The only outcome which would surprise me is a Wilder win on points, unless he knocks down Fury several times but Fury manages the final bell. While I don't buy Fury coming out and swinging, I do feel like he'll probably put a little more spice in a few of his punches and work to wear Wilder down and think his best chance of victory is going for a stoppage - and given he is the better of the two boxers, if he fights smart I think there is a reasonable chance of a ref stoppage if Wilder stops being able to give meaningful answers. So Fury by TKO for me
Wilder going to KO him this time. Fury is overrated as hell. He is bang average. I will give big credit to Fury if he wins, but it will be on Wilder more.
Please take note that I have made no excuses. Whether true or not, Fury is at the stage of his career where he doesn't need to work out any bugs. Rather than sparring, he just needs to come in shape, and if he doesn't, it is his own fault. The only way I will cry foul is if there is one--another screwjob by the judges. If wilder wins, he wins.
Unfortunately I will be picking Fury by decision. Really hope Im wrong and that Wilder KOs him emphatically.
