    I don't know about the 7th, but really can't see this going the 12.
    Fury has taken this fight at least a year and 3 fights to early. He can't be fight fit after them 2 "comeback" fights and the weight, coke, food binges, lay off.
    I see Tyson up on the cards and making it hard for Wilder to land flush, but he will at some point and it's over.

    When the fight was first announced I thought Wilder would do him within 6.

    I make it a general rule not to get swayed by hype, trash talk etc. However, mentally Wilder doesn’t seem there, and physically there can’t be any benefit in coming in so light. Fury has swept the build-up 120-108.

    I’ll still stick with Wilder, but with a lot less confidence than a few months ago.

    Yeah. I can see that too.
    Fury's might go in there to box him but he'll know exactly how to use his weight against Wilder too.

    If Fury is even 60-70% of what he was in 2015 he should win this.
    But that's still a big "If".

    I'd say Fury - although he was knocked down a couple of times earlier in his career they both seemed more about balance than chin. Wilder was in desperate trouble against Ortiz. I wouldn't say either was 'chinny' though as both have shown they will not fall apart.

    Speed kills and I see wilder coming in at that weight exactly for that reason and if he needs to go the whole 12 he will be fit enough to take it all the way but I can only see one winner here and it may be a shock to watch as the boxer might get outboxed just because the movement will be that much quicker.
