    Speaking of bad eyes who are the judges going to be? Fury was robbed.

    If Wilder had a proper jab he could jab the sht outa that eye and mess em up but fortunately for Fury, Wilder still needs jabbing lessons from Lennox Lewis behind a ghetto apartment.

    I dont think his eye is a huge handicap against Wilder.

    Lol at Wilder being able to follow any sort of tailored gameplan. He'll do what he always does, swing his arms around randomly and hope to hit something that isn't the referee or the ropes.

    Would be a bad idea for a right hand power puncher, to specifically target the top right side of Fury's face. It will take him out of his game, and potentially miss a shot or two that would normally land because he was aiming for one spot. Not worth it, at all, unless the cut opens throughout the natural course of the fight.

    If landing only 3 punches produced 2 bad knockdowns, then I think that works to Wilders favor. You have to assume he'll be able to land at least 3 more knockdowns in the rematch

    I agree. I don't the eye is a great target. If he has good plastic surgery the scar tissue probably won't open up again.

    Tyson posted a video today, the cuts look better than I thought they would do at this point.

    I think he’s gonna he alright with them.

    What makes u think Wilder can target anything of Fury’s?

    He was punching air for 95% of the first fight
