    I thought Fury edged that fight and still he was knocked down twice. The only reason it was close is because of knockdowns. If he is a little more offense minded he could knock out Wilder yet he cannot have those lapses in concentration in this fight. It is a more risk, but he could do it. That big guy putting a little more weight on his punches could make a difference. This next fight will be more conclusive one way or another.

    I don’t see this happening. Fury would put himself in danger if he loaded up on his punches. I don’t see that happening. Wilder could land big shots again and maybe win rounds. If he knocks down fury a few times and wins enough rounds, he could get the decision. Wilder doesn’t have the best chin but I think it’s good enough to keep him on his feet. I don’t expect to see him fight the same undisciplined fighter this time. He’s still wilder but I think we will see him take a little off his punches and focus on accuracy. Easier said than done but the odds are greater than a Fury KO. Fury is saying crazy stuff but I expect him to be dancing, moving and flicking that pesky jab in Wilders’s face. One mistake and it could all come crashing down for Fury.

    Bootleg D was positively petrified of OAP Ortiz's power. Even the '40' y/o one (more like 400).

    yeah that’s the gap in skill level we are talking here. (Without biased judging) wilder almost definitely needs like 4-5 knockdowns while the fight doesn’t get stopped and not getting knocked down himself.

    Fury KO - 20% chance
    Wilder decision - 10% chance

    both unlikely to be fair.

    No. Tyson Fury does not have a better chance of stopping Wilder than Wilder has of outpointing Fury.

    Fury visibly rocked Wilder a couple of times last time out, so the KO could happen.

    Wilder has no chance whatsoever of outpointing Fury. None.

    Definitely, when you weigh 270 pounds then you should be able to knock out your opponent, Wilder has a small chance of winning on points because it's not his style...

    I think that horrific cut he picked up had something to do with his poor performance. As well as being complacent
