    It's a very tough call, mainly because I don't think either guy would be able to dominate the range, or even control the range for particularly long stretches. If it evolved into more of a fight, I think that favors Bowe, whereas if it evolves more into a tactical match, I tend to think that would favor Fury. But I think it would ultimately evolve into a little from column A and a little from B. I'm undecided.

    I rest my case.

    Also betting on the rematch had Wilder a very very small fave.

    If he boxed how he did against Klitschko, I think Bowe has no chance, Fury would be feinting throwing fast hands, switching stances mid combination making Bowe miss, there is no way Bowe could deal with that not a chance if Golota could outbox and outjab Bowe then Fury could

    Yes he's beaten one member of the current top 10 so of course he's cleaned house (like Ali etc) except for Joshua.

    I was pretty much on the fence due to the media scrutiny on the cut and gut. It cast a bit of shade but was all rubbish in the end. He'd already beaten Wilder in reality so was always going to be favored if not for rumors about his shape and how bad the cut was.
