That scar tissue over his eye must be on Fury's mind, he also has a cut lip. I expect him to start similar to the first fight, maybe coming forward a tad more.. But at some stage he might have to go for it if that eye opens up, because I can't see him being allowed to carry on for long if it does. My heart says Fury, but my head says Wilder by mid to late stoppage this time. I hope i'm wrong, and Fury stops him, but I can't see it.
I wonder what use hill will be in the corner. Biggest night of his career. I know he trained adonis for a bit but he usually played it same with his opposition. This is a 50 50 fight for all the marbles
Apparently they aimed for 19 and a half stone. Bunce said that two weeks ago, John Fury insisted he’d come in at that weight.
One more time, coming HEAVY as a heavyweight is not a good thing.......Bowe/Tyson/Rahman/Lewis etc etc were NEVER as effective when far above their ideal weight especially in a career defining fight.........fans were upset that old Leiws came in heavy against VK by a handful of pounds.......Fury is 20 POUNDS above his ideal weight.......for a mover that is immense. Now to the logic that the added weight will help him bully Wilder around.......Fury had a close to 50 pound weight advantage last time he ran for his life throwing a 5.73 punches a round but now with a 40 pound difference he is going gung ho........something stinks here..... Now to Furys rose colored fans who claim his bizeps are " Big".....lol, this aint no Bodybuilding and Bizeps means jack shid in fighting at this stage. This whole thing has Ruiz/Aj 2 written all over it and on paper it looks like Fury is pulling a Buster.........all the excuses for the weight, leaving his shirt on, injuries etc .......I sincerely want to be wrong and see a great fight and not some shidshow were one fighter mails it in.
Surely if Fury’s camp know he’s going to be heavy they’ll say he’s going to be heavy rather than say he aimed for something a lot lower and then just hold their hands up today and say ‘yeah, camp’s been a bit of a disaster what with the short time frame and his cuts so yeah, Tyson’s overweight.’ I really think a lot of this is people who want Fury to win hoping this is intentional rather than thinking it is. I’ll repeat the point. When this fight was announced anyone who wanted Fury to win who was told he’d be three pounds lighter than his weight for Seferi would think ‘that’s not good.’
Tony, it was very public that Fury was too light against Wallin and lots of people were saying he needed to be heavier against Wilder
Too light against Wallin despite only being two pounds lighter than he was against Wilder therefore he needs to put on nineteen pounds? That’s literally not believable.
BT now mentioning the 5am ringwalks today after reeling the casuals in with the action starting at 10.00 on ITV then straight to Vegas at midnight. Always knew it is rare for a big fight in Vegas to start before 4am UK time but more recently many are starting at 5am
