Fight Week Pick em

But again, you can cut people whilst being feather fisted. It doesn't mean you're a powerful puncher.

You said that those questioning Fury's power should look at Klitschko's face after their fight. I'm saying a more telling piece of evidence regarding how powerful his punches were would be if he had Klitschko wobbled, dropped or stopped. He never looked close to doing it.

Say you were talking to someone about Lennox Lewis' power. What do you choose to demonstrate how powerful a puncher he was? Knocking out Tyson? Knocking out Rahman. Knocking out Briggs? Knocking out Grant? Or badly cutting Klitschko? People have ended up with bad cuts, bruises, black eyes and stitches after fighting Paulie Malignaggi, and nobody is saying that means we shouldn't question his punching power!

 

Thanks bud, let me know how you get on.

 

My point is simply don't dismiss his power like some on here have. 70% KO ratio. World level fighters badly busted up after facing him. He's not a banger, but nobody is walking through his punches as someone predicted on here. Nobody has, and nobody will.

 

My initial feeling when this fight was made was Wilder by brutal, devastating KO. Notwithstanding Fury's long absence and indiscretions outside the ring and that this is too much too soon, he has been put down by the overhand right on a couple of occasions and that is Wilder's money punch. As time has gone on I find myself being convinced that Fury has a chance to box and move to outpoint Wilder over the distance and maybe even pull off a late stoppage. Then I remembered that your initial gut instinct is usually right. Wilder by KO.

 

I'm not dismissing his power. I'm saying busting someone's face up is not really linked to power. It's linked to accuracy, timing and speed. Keep landing stinging jabs on your opponents nose and around their eyes all night and you will mess them up. Doesn't mean for a second that you're a big puncher or that you're powerful. Lennox Lewis was a big puncher but he did more facial damage with his jab than his right hand.

Tyson has a decent enough KO percentage ratio which suggests he has similar levels of power to the likes of Povetkin and Whyte. No shame in that, albeit his style has never really been the sort to end fights with a single shot. He's had a reasonable number of retirements for example.

 

True as , lov fight's like this an buzzing for it , not far LOL's

 

I have to pick wilder k o but as I said over in the general, let it be known I want Tyson to win.

There's far too many unanswered questions regarding fury atm and the safe bet is wilder k.o.
But it wouldn't be a total shock if Tyson came out and made it look an easy night's work.

 

What time are ring walks scheduled for?

 

That I like , good stuff

 

U reminded me , an true as .

 

Fury comfortably on points

 

Very, very difficult fight to pick because no one really knows how much Fury has left (those two warm up fights didn't tell us much).
If Fury is the same fighter he was when he beat Wlad then I think he comfortably outboxes Wilder, if he's declined only slightly then he still wins but will have to survive some tough moments, if he's declined significantly then he get's stopped.

Conventional wisdom is that a good boxer beats a good puncher so I'll go with Fury on points with little conviction.

Fury UD Wilder

 

5am UK time - that is why there won't be many UK PPV Mugths this weekend

 

My days of stopping up till ridiculous times are well over mate, I just hope it will be on youtube it in the morning.

 

The undercard a pile of pigeon droppings so I set the alarm for 4am and view this PPV at the discounted price.
