    Maybe, but I won't believe it until he gets smashed.

    I'm thinking the same. Wouldn't surprise me at all if Wilder KO's him.

    Fury looks a little manic to me atm too. Will the same Fury turn up?

    He needs to actually train and not run all over country buying clown clothes.
    He may not be taking Wilder seriously and that would be a BIG mistake.

    Can someone tell me wtf everyone in Fury's camp is doing letting him dress himself to appear on television? Like, where is Paris? Malik? Big Gypsy John? Slacking, all.

    Add to that Zepeda arguably got dropped in the 3rd. Their feet were tangled, but he was clearly shook up by an overhand right. Chon usually underwhelms when fighting lesser opponents, but.... he looked kind of shot tonight. The Branachyk fight may have taken something from him.

    Wilder KOs him in fight 3 to even the series 1-1-1.

    Fury will need time off before fight 4. Seems like a lot of stuff is going on with him behind the scenes. He's flying everywhere trying to do everything.

    It'll be a great night.

    Taylor has to try and avoid getting into a tear up because that's obliviously JCR's best chance of winning. I hope he respects JCR's power too because he can punch and more importantly he's all over you like a soup sandwich in a heartbeat if he gets you hurt. He puts his shots together really well and is excellent finisher. But by the same token JCR has to respect Taylor's power because he can punch too and he has to be careful not to walk into something big. Barring an early stoppage or boxing clinic, this should be a great fight.

    I would say he's trending the right direction fast. When I saw him not wearing clothes with maximum fat hiding properties it was pretty clear he's working out again

    Now, a bipolar guy going a mile a minute and dropping weight can be itself a bad sign but hopefully that isn't the case.

    Look, there are two ways to get noticed in showbiz; look good, or look ridiculous. He's clearly chosen the latter.

    Pseudo psychological BS from me really. Just Fury being in high spirits most likely.

    Prograis has a 67" reach. Ramirez has a 72" reach. I think this is a much bigger factor than many think. It may be the difference in the fight.
