    Prediction: It’s not an easy fight to pick. I’m leaning toward Fury on points as Wilder just isn’t a boxer, and will have to land a wild bomb late, which he could. Fury really hasn’t looked good in his two comeback fights, but I’m more than sure he’s a better boxer than the types who were even or ahead of Wilder on the score cards until Wilder landed a bomb late. While a little unstable outside the ring, I think Fury is smart enough in it and use his extremely long arms and height to stay out of Wilder’s range.


    Will it be a good fight?: If Fury wins, it will be tactical and average type of fight to watch. If Wilder wins, I think its via stoppage. I care for neither man, and hope the winner is via KO or wide UD, as the loser is not likely to come back.


    The Judging: The judging has been pretty bad lately, flipping what most people see as 7-5, the other way around. Sometimes we see a junk card from outer space or a card that with raises eyebrows where a judge scored a late round for a guy who most thought lost that round, sealing a win or draw in a close fight. Historically, when a British fighter travels to the U.S. to face an American opponent - and vice versa it's not uncommon for the resident fighter to receive good ol' fashioned 'home cooking' from the judges. This will favor Wilder.


    The chances for BS:
    Fury has tested positive before, and I think both fighters have a higher than normal chance of a DQ. Let's hope neither happens


    Aftermath: The winner here is probably going to get more credit than he deserves. I actually think Wilder and Fury are past their peak performances, and will be dusted by Joshua. I hope the winner faces Joshua soon, as it will define the champion of the times.
