Wilder's weight is interesting, I was expecting 220-25, this is the lightest he has been since his debut. He's still big in height and arm span, he is carrying no fat, and he's quick, but it will be interesting when Fury pushes him in close. Will Fury be able to sling him around at that weight. I think Wilder is a strong person, but he has to move 256 pounds, Fury only has to move 212 and that 212 does not have a low center of gravity. Another interesting point for me is will Fury be able to hurt Wilder? If he can hurt/stun him early and he makes Wilder even a little tentative, Fury might dominate. On the other hand, if Wilder can box enough to be competitive, he still has that big punch too. Another thing I'm going to look for is Wilder doing that stutter step to the left, then pushing off the left foot and moving quickly to the right side, setting up his right hand. He does it in the mitt videos - usually he does it so quick that the person holding the mitts can't react and is just standing there looking at where Wilder was. It could backfire, I heard Freddie Roach on one video say that Tyson Fury told him that he is a natural southpaw, if so, Wilder will be moving into the left hand of Fury, it could be, who gets there first with the most! Great match up, it might end in 30 seconds, but regardless it is between two confident, competent athletes. Either fighter could win and it wouldn't surprise me at all, and the only result that would surprise me is if one of them quit. Can't see that happening.
Wilders weight only lowers his chance of a knock out...I've calculated the rounds that gives Fury a chance to win the fight and it puts him over the 50% mark. In my personal estimation it's 70% with Wilder at 212 weigh in. I've predicted the southpaw stance is his strongest before that came out by video footage, the fact he states that reinforces it. Wilder has an up hill fight here we'll see really how good he is tonight.
Breazy vs Negron: Breazy in 6. A bonus would be to chin Mercante..or Wilder whos in the crowd scouting Breazeale out.... Get ready for Wilder vs Breaazeale....
