I’ve been thinking Fury on points as long as he hasn’t ruined himself with the time off. The closer it gets though I’m thinking he’ll have an easy lead, Wilder will get desperate, tire himself out windmilling and Fury will walk him onto one. I agree Fury’s not a big puncher but he had Wlad scared to commit for 12 rounds. Wlad was always scared of committing but still, he wouldn’t be like that if he didn’t know his opponent could hurt him. With Wilder steaming forward and Fury meeting him, that’s a hell of a lot of weight and force from both sides at point of impact. Not a huge Tyson fan but would love to see him win this.
I don’t think he should fight south paw for any extended period. Orthadox ers with power in a straight right hand love south paws. Fury can’t just skip all night he’ll have to throw and that’s when Wilder could land right down the pipe if Fury’s south paw. 100% agree over Fury’s power.
I think Fury’s riled Wilder up now judging by that press conference. Wilder was way too pumped up for the stare down and even had a go at the Seconds Out fella afterwards. Wilder is not interested in points victories, he just wants to spark Fury and that plays into the boxer’s hands imo. You’re going to see Fury switching stances, goading, spoiling, clinching, leaning and timing Wilder with stinging hurtful counters....Fury is going to bingo him in championship rounds.
Rounds 1 - 4 The fight is very cagey, Fury is nicking the rounds by flicking out the jab and using lateral movement. Wilder tries a few right hands but misses by miles and Fury showboats laughing at the missed right hands. Rounds 5 - 8 Wilder starts taking more risks and lands a right hand that clips Fury as he is leaning back. Wilder jumps all over him going crazy windmill style, Fury goes down off a clubbing right hand to the back of the head. Fury spends the next few rounds holding and surviving as Wilder tries to finish him, but Fury manages to survive. Rounds 9 - 12 Fury changes his tactics and puts up a high guard and walks to Wilder, trying to smother his shots. The fight becomes a scrappy maul fest and Fury is starting to push Wilder back and hurt him with body shots. Wilder fights him off in windmill bursts but Fury is now pushing him back having success. Most fans and pundits have a draw or Fury winning by a point or 2. Wilder wins by spilt decision. Team Fury cry robbery. They rematch in the summer.
Good stuff. That's pretty much how I see it playing out, I feel "survival" mode is very much a worked on point from Camp Fury as prep for this.
I said I wasn't going to buy this Ppv...but I thought that press conference was very entertaining. And I will be buying it..Mon The Gypsy KING!!!!!

Fury beats Wilder, with the odd showboating round. The fight itself will be a load of Michael Knight.
I am going with Fury on points. I actually think Wilder will win the early rounds as I think Fury won't do much he will back up lay on the ropes wait to feel Wilder's power an feel him out. I then expect Fury to take over an start out boxing Wilder from round 4 on wards. Wilder will be dangerous the whole fight though.
I will be honest,I can't remember being this excited for a fight in a long time.Hope it lives up to the billing.
