Anthony Joshua has predicted that Deontay Wilder will KO Tyson Fury in their trilogy fight

If Fury trains in a pie factory I can totally see it happen.

If Fury is serious about the trilogy, he will end Wilder's career.

 

I think you've got it mostly correct.

Just a couple of observations...

Another "X factor" here is Fury's mental state. It took a bit of a tumble after Klitschko, This might well have saved him from a rematch where Wlad might well have learned enough from the loss to regain his title. Or maybe not, we'll never know. At any rate, Fury made a gargantuan physical and mental comeback and is now the clear number one at the weight.

He needs to come into Wilder 3 in a good mental (and physical) place. If he does, then Wilder has little or no agency in how the fight goes. The outcome will be entirely in Fury's hands. If he avoids making a major mistake, he schools and stops Wilder again. There is no scenario where Wilder can defeat a healthy, motivated Fury. He just doesn't have the skills.


Moreover, if the fight goes as I expect, that Wilder X factor you alluded to (the big right hand) might well be significantly diminished against any top heavyweight as Fury will have laid out the blueprint on how to neutralize it.

 

The hook was icing on the BRH cake.

Wilder turned and walked away, confidant that the fight was over.

(He was mistaken).

 

Well you have a lot of time on your hands, I enjoyed reading my old posts, thank you, some are actually very funny, I can almost remember the moods I was in and I can tell by the way I'm speaking what mood I was in when typing them.. i swear a couple gave me a giggle.

Anyway, My Posts You've Quoted:


Post 1). Yes I supported Fury when he went to Germany but thought Wlad would win, I don't understand the problem with that, Wlad was a heavy favourite, Fury hadn't done anything in my opinion to that date that had me thinking he would win, I wasn't the only one to think Wlad wins but I thought it was time for a change and I supported Fury...

2). Yeah, Fury won but it was an awful fight, maybe you should have a look at the rbr, one of the funniest rbr threads I've ever read, I believe it was IB who was hoping somebody would bomb the ring.. it was a very funny thread in my opinion.

So I can't support a fighter, watch a fight and think it was boring fight? The fact is It was a boring fight.


3). Yes Fury did all those things, was i lying? Fury did get caught taking a banned substance, he did nearly eat himself to death, he was drinking heavily and taking drugs, he said so himself, I'm hardly throwing out crazy accusations and people he knew thought he would end up dead.

I really don't understand what you're saying, everything I've said to this point is true, I haven't said anything outrageous or out of order, Fury said those things himself, so why can't I?


4). My Wilder 1 prediction, Yeah I predicted Wilder wins, predicted it twice so what? And I'm predicting it a third time.. Have you seen some of my predictions? They are sometimes outrageous but this wasn't one.

Wilder was the bookies favourite for the first fight, so many others thought the same.

And many others predicted a Wilder win too, and he dropped Fury twice and wasn't far away from leaving Fury flat out, eyes shut in that 12th round..

They actually made a documentary called Round 12 I believe, because it was such a "miracle" Fury got up, so I wasn't that's far away was I?



As for the rest, I'll be here all day, I stand my all of my posts, it's how I felt at the time, it's what I believed would happen, I'm not embarrassed by them or remotely bothered, in the context of the threads and what others were saying.. I said what I felt at that moment.


I know I praised Fury for both wins, I personally can't be bothered to go back and find those quotes (you seem to have a lot of time, maybe you could) but anybody who takes any notice of me post will tell you if I get it wrong I hold my hands up and praise the winner.

I'm never salty and after Fury Wilder II, I even had an avatar bet and had a picture of Arsene Wemger on my profile for a month, it was painful because I'm a Tottenham fan, but I never cried or whined or refused to do it.
It was all done on good humour.


You have selected a bunch of quotes and sure some don't look great in hindsight but I repeat. I stand by them, you didn't and haven't bothered to post any of my posts praising Fury, complimenting him, saying I got it wrong, that's fine. It is what it is.


And Yes I predict Wilder wins this time, yeah maybe third time lucky, Wilder only needs to land a right hand in my opinion and all bets are off.. he has crazy power and can end a fight at any moment, it only takes a moment.


And if Wilder does I'll remember to tag you and we can talk then, Khabib style

Oh and if you're bored then you should go back and see the crap I have said about AJ.. I bet some of those posts are truly outrageous.

I'm predicting Usyk to beat him tomorrow night, I slaughtered AJ after Ruiz I, I still maintain AJ quit.

I get a lot of stick for that and I'm called a "AJ Hater" too, I honestly believe I have spoken more crap about AJ than I have about Fury.




I might even go back myself and have a look, it would be interesting to compare and also very entertaining for me.
