    I'm glad it's near. Listening to Wilder and Fury talk trash to each other is tough to watch. It doesnt work.
    Hopefully we have a clear winner and no robberies, cuts, etc.

    Yea I know. They like each other too much. Wilder is a nice guy, Down to Earth but when he is trying to say something interesting I feel bad for him. He cant pull it off.

    All Wilder needs to do is be starched by a non-puncher and he's Cleveland Williams?

    Well, if Max Kellerman said it ... I'm sure it must be true. (rolls eyes)

    This board has sucked the life out of me this week.

    Wilder has already beaten a number of contenders - Ortiz still dangerous - Williams would not last a round or 2 with Wilder and I must give him credit for the Fury fight- I thought Tyson won but Credit to Wilder with 2 strong KD's

    Well if it makes you feel better, Kellerman who is far from accurate is picking Fury.

    The weights are in. Fury is too heavy. Wilder is in the 230’s , full of muscle. Quite a transformation.

    When Deontay Wilder wins the World Heavyweight Championship tomorrow night via spectacular KO, which failed heavyweight from history will he be then?

    Kellerman needs to go away.

    The one judge that had it for wilder by a big Margin should be barred for judging big fights.

    Judges are supposed to score for defense too. Fury won the fight. Not by a big margin but he won it

    Williams wasn’t a failed professional. He just ran into Liston twice. Everything is on the line for Wilder. Fury who could easily out box him came in way too heavy.

    On kellerman he’s a bit better these days which is to say he’s no longer awful. Like him or not he’s the top media for boxing. His show to the max is actually good. Watch it sometime. He doesn’t say too many statements from left field like he does live. His lines and thoughts are set up for him in advance.
