    Virgil Hunter's hard drive would make for disturbing viewing I'd imagine.

    I see punters have started backing Wilder big time in last 24 hours - the power and influence of Edward Hearn!

    The difference is he was able to take Ortiz out, in Fury's case he was becoming more and more demolorised, then came the 12 round KD but it still wasn't enough, Fury came back even stronger. Wilder knows he has a guy in there with the same will to win and it might not be as easy as waiting for that perfect punch. It might come, but if it doesn't he is getting shut down over 12 rounds. If Fury isn't on for some reason, he is in trouble though.

    Seen David Haye saying a lot about the cut. If that opens it will be very hard for Fury not to walk into one.

    Think this is a massive point ain't it?

    I dont think Wilder thinks like that personally. His power gives him a chance at any moment and he knows it. He has shown he can take punches and still strike late. He will be confident he can do it again.

    Absolutely. 47 stitches wasn't it?

    Again, it makes absolutely no sense why everyone was seemingly so desperate for February 22. Fury is fighting far too soon after a cut like that.

    I don't think the fight has been promoted well this time or last. It's crept up fairly anonymously because it was announced so late at a weird time of year and they've clearly done all the promo work on a last minute basis.

    Obviously people like you will think it's been amazing, but I suspect if you're the sort of die-hard Fury fan who follows him like a stalker you'd probably think everyone was talking about it as well.

    well he doesn’t give up so credit to him there, but he looked discouraged a few times in the first fight to me, and at the end he looked like the beaten fighter, imo.

    The casuals at work are talking excitedly about this fight. Much more so than Joshua Ruiz 2 for example.

    Wilder by KO.

    One more day at work and then Vegas!

    I think 50% of the crowd at the MGM is going to be there for Fury.

    Yeah it’s been the same with my casual mates and colleagues, all seem far more interested than with the Joshua fight.

    So if Joshua twisted his ankle and lost to Carlos Takam it means his belts are stupid? Idiot
