    Gerald Washington was Clearly 4-0 up vs wilder when he got stopped: Wilder was up on the cards.

    Ortiz was clearly at least 4-5 rounds up when he was stopped: Wilder was up on the cards.

    Szpilka was at least 2-3 rounds up when he got stopped: Wilder was up on the cards.

    Considering its highly unlikely Fury can stop Wilder, he's going to need to basically 12-0 the fight and win every round WIDE.

    Adelaide Byrd and co are DEFINATLEY getting their brown paper bags from Haymon for this one.

    Don't worry about it as Wilder will KO Fury before the 12 rounds is finished

    I don’t think there is ever a case at HW of a British fighter going into the backyard of a US HW champion and getting a fair decision.

    When I think of this fight I think of the first Holyfield vs Lewis fight, which Lewis won by 8/9 rounds to 3 rounds for Holyfield, and it was scored a draw.

    So I think if Fury executes the perfect game plan and avoids the right hand, could get a draw.

    I am sure then the rematch clause will be exercised and the rematch will be bigger money than the first fight.

    Also how are yank fans who have never seen him before going to react if he fights the same style he did against Wlad?

    If Wiilder and Fury produce a stinker on the level of that fight they will be chased out of Vegas.

    Of course he can. Fury will easily outbox him I don’t think anyone debates that. But for how long?

    Yeah he can. Nevada commission has been under the microscope so they won't want any stinking judging ruining this. If the cards are needed I am confident they will reflect what has happened in the ring. GO Fury!!

    I agree with all 3 of these Wilders fights his opposition should have been up on the cards until he stopped them and the judges scoring in these fights were very dubious indeed. However considering the state of Fury's last 2 fights I'd be very surprise if it goes beyond 6 rounds.

    Agree the likelihood is wilder by ko.

    But Fury's only route of victory (a decision in a boring fight) may also be closed it's not looking great.

    Fury did it in Germany, there is nothing to suggest he can't do it in the states, and besides if it is obvious he won yet gets robbed at least it adds more controversy and get more talking done.

    As the late great Angelo Dundee once said, "controversy" it's dynamite I love it, people want to see some more!!!

    Why not?

    Better question, would he get a fair decision against Joshua on a Matchroom show? Wladimir was down on the cards and Parker robbed of a few rounds too. Not to mention Takam being stopped over nothing.

    It's got Canelo-Khan written all over it. Although I can see it going far later.

    I think fury goes the distance but I really like that Canelo - Khan analogy

    Not really a "better question" at all is it, since my question is actually relevant.

    Just an excuse for you to hate on matchroom.

    If Fury does win the fight he'll have barely been touched by Wilder. It would be impossible to rob him - same as Germany.

    Not if he's negative and Wilder is the one coming forward/making the fight. Fury is getting KOed anyway. It's a myth that he's some elusive master boxer. Wilder will catch him at some point and that will be the beginning of the end.
