Wilder vs Fury - Video Preview & Prediction

I tend to agree. Tyson gets clipped by one of those massive haymakers somewhere along the line

 

Well after watching Showtime All Access Episodes 1 and 2 I'm even more convinced Wilder will win.
The Cunningham mauling tactics won't work, most of them were illegal and the ref wont allow it, I assume it's Jack Reiss.
So what's Fury's plan? To outbox Wilder? Yeah that's actually pretty easy to do, Szpilka and Washington did, they got clipped eventually though and Wilder was ahead on the cards too.

If this goes the distance Wilder wins on the cards (and it may be even more controversial than Canelo-GGG I).

 

Well at this point Wilder IS the face of Showtime, more so than Charlos/Spence/Mikey.
Him losing to Fury at home is not a desirable outcome, I mean it would be a huge blow to Showtime, Haymon and Espinoza after they've spent years to build him.

 

It's not outside the realm of reality for Fury to out box Wilder.

 

I don’t believe Fury has got it anymore, at least not on the level he had against Wladimir. Being out for so long, and living hard like he did, will take something out of you. He may only be 30, but it could be a very old 30 at this point.

We have seen this type of thing before. Someone not taking care of themself, and losing the touch they had in the elite years. Especially Riddick Bowe spring to mind. He was equally bad in Golota I & II, despite looking in exceptional shape for their second fight. It didn’t matter, since his sharpness, durability and reflexes had been permanently damaged. And he was mostly guilty of liking food a little too much, and getting chuppy from time to time. It’s the same here, the only difference being Fury having a liking for drugs and alcohol aswell.

I think Fury’s mind will know what to do, but his body won’t follow suit. Wilder KO after 8-10 rounds for me.

 

It is a very good question whether with Fury's challenges if he can produce enough athletic skill to eemerge victorious.

Rummy I like your video & agree it is basically too close to call with any confidence.
But the one thing you should have done is not just mention a layoff; but describe the very relevant gaining & loss of ~ 150 lbs.!
And the drugs. And alcohol. Even the mental illness struggles are connected & vice versa.
These factors cannot be ignored.

Great champions from Jeffries to Ali have come back from retirement to being way out of shape-& usually cannot rise to the occasion.

If he does mucho credit is deserved. He looks good & sharp in training, but whether that proves to be a mirage (at the highest level) is very much unknown.

 

Though they were older and had had much more punishing careers.

 

I been screaming Wilder is a fraud on this site for years. Fury coming off a 3 year binge and having two fights where he couldn’t crack an egg just schooled him. Shame the judges took away an incredible performance and moment in the sport. Fury getting up in the 12th was a moment that could go on forever but in a draw it won’t

 

Fury totally outdone my expectations several times over.
