Depressed guy vs nutcase. I think Wilder gonna get worse as time passes by, something wrong with his mental state and not only that, Fury is much smarter and better boxer. I am picking Fury by KO before round 6.
Can I buy a Rummys Corner t-shirt or hat? Need a way to show my appreciation of your videos in more than just text. I actually think Wilder was doing alright in the 2nd fight until he got hit to the side/back of the head for the first knockdown. Even tho he got back up he was never balanced again. I usually don't make my predictions until the weigh-in but because your prediction video was that good I'll lock one in. Wilder UD in super controversial fashion.
I predict a clear Fury UD, that most fans score very wide to a shutout, and the judges score about 8 to 4 in typical US home favoring style. There's a chance for Wilder to win, but it's pretty slim imo. Not excited for this in the least, sorry.
I think Fury should retain his title, either by decision or later rounds stoppage. Hopefully there'll be fair and good judging too, with no weird scorecards which bear little relation to the action we see in the ring. Fury should try and finish him if he gets the chance and take it out of the judges' hands. Fury was hit to the side/back of the head in the 9th round of Fury-Wilder 1 for the KD as he was ducking down, but that happens as people try to take evasive action in the ring. This third one could have waited. Anyway, let's hope it's a good, clean bout, best of luck to both.
Fury needs a KO. Don't underestimate the corruption within the judges. Look at what happened in the first fight 115-111 Wilder... A judge literally thought Wilder won 7-5 rounds.
Rummy summarized it perfectly: for all those rounds Wilder didn't win more than 3 and two of them he won because he scored a knockdown. His boxing skills are horrible in terms of winning rounds and this was very obvious in many of his recent fights. A brief example: Arthur the goddamn Szpillka was very close in the rounds.
You really hate wilder. I favor fury obviously. But if wilder beats him you gonna have that excuse ready for fury right?
I really don't care that much. I think after two fights it is self-evident to almost the entirety of the boxing community that Fury is head and shoulders the better man. It is also self-evident that Fury would rather be a celebrity than a boxer, and he could certainly lose to a hard-hitting, determined, if completely talentless fighter. If you want to call that an excuse, then so be it. Odds are Fury is going to win anyway.
Repeat. Given the dominance that Fury has over Wilder in two fights you have to back him. He is in far better shape now before going into camp than he was in the ring in the first fight. I think Fury knocks Wilder out late or wins a decision. Wilder is going to be very cautious for the first few rounds, which will play into the fight going longer this time.
