Wilder decision after opening Fury's cut with a couple of knockdowns with Fury barely managing to last until the final bell is much more likely than Fury even coming close to dropping the Bronze Bomber
Idk.... from the sound of it, Wilder is getting used to the idea of waiting for his right hand to land. He doesnt care about the mechanisms of winning rounds. Sometimes patience can be your downfall. I think he will lose the rounds to a Fury intent on winning rounds, because he waits for a right hand to end the fight, that doesnt come. Hes aging on top of going to be heavier in this than he was in the first fight, which likely means he will be a bit slower. That might cost him against a style like Fury. Then again, Fury might be slower and easier to catch... and Wilders added weight might mean Fury stays down this time. Idk lol. We'll see. Cant wait though. War Wilder.
Wilder looking very relaxed, calm, confident and happy about life in general. So much that he sends those vibes to others and I am not even worried about the fight, first time probably not nervous about a fighter I route for. I don't think Wilder will wait that long as he did against Ortiz, as it is a fight of a bigger magnitude and against a better defensive fighter. Also if Fury's cut opens early it will play into the hands of the Bronze Bomber. How much you think Wilder will weight ? Can't wait too, good news that they will show the fight on TV in Bulgaria and won't have to search for streams again as last time lol.
My prediction is the fight is stopped in the 7th because DWs jab opens up the cuts on Furys face and the fight gets called.
I predict that Wilder will be impressively tagged by Fury in the first 3 rounds. The main weapon will be a leading left hook, as Fury ducks under Wilders windmill rights. I actually think Wilder's chin is solid, so think he will absorb the punishment, but it will take a bit out of him. Fury will settle back and win the next few rounds. Wilder will get a 2nd wind around round 7, and send out some more windmills, but this time Fury will connect flush (like Ruiz did vs AJ) and Wilder will look like Bambi on ice. While displaying amazing courage and strength, Wilder will be knocked out in the 8th. I wish I could be more specific with my prediciton, but I have to play it safe.
I hope Fury will put a beating on Wilder and stop him, or a least win decisive on the cards. But my prediction is Wilder by KO in rounds 7-9. Will probably flip-flop on my pick a couple of times in the coming week though, this is a VERY tricky fight to predict imo.
Due to the poor judging in mega fights, predicting boxing isn't what it used to be. You can call it right, and be wrong or can be off and get lucky thanks incompetent/crooked jading. This is a very significant fight. Let's hope they get it right. Having said that, I saw Fury recent work out clips. He was doing chin-ups with weights in-between his legs. He's in shape. Looks to be about 248-253 as such will outbox Wilder. We've already seen that Wilder swells little easy and doesn't have a big gas tank for the later rounds, so I expect Fury to land his left jab, and be aware of Wilder's right hand at all times, boxing his way to a decision that might have a rough moment or two. Fury is clearly the better boxer, but he doesn't; have a shutdown jab or a lot of power to make guys wary, so he'll lose some rounds. I see it 8-4 or 7-5 for Fury, which means there could be some shite with the judging with these " vegas " judges. Boxing needs a clean winner, and whomever that person is MUST fight Joshua next.
Not buying that. Does he have shin splints or something? If he doesn't run outside, he's doing stair climbing, rowing or lunges. He might be saying it to throw his opponent off. Fury can not afford to get tired in this fight, and he knows it. I saw Fury's recent work out clips. He's in shape, doing chin up with weights between his legs, and showing off a relatively flat stomach ( by his standards ). I see muscle gained and less overall fat. I don't think he comes in above 256, which for him is a win.
He looks in shape to me. His weight will be specific to a plan. If it all goes wrong, it will be the plan (or execution) at fault, not the effort put in to getting into fight shape.
