    This reckless man has stated in an interview that he`s going for a KO vs Wilder, I feel this is suicide and Fury should try to exploit Wilder`s inability to cut the ring of by fighting like he did vs Wlad, spoiling and using his reach and movement, he might be the only fighter that can match Wilder`s reach, he has to keep Wilder at that range even if he`s punching a lot, don`t step into the danger zone, what do Wilder or Fury fans think?

    Fury talks a lot, he won't go for the KO at least not from the start, this fight will be a battle of jabs for the first
    couple of rounds until Wilder is getting more confident and searching for an opportunity to set the right hand up.

    Wilder will throw a right hand occasionally just to test his reaction but he won't commit to it at the beginning.

    Fury is the bigger man and he would probably try to get him in the clinch and rough him up from the inside when
    the opportunity is given.

    Imo this won't be an action packed fight for the first 4 or 5 rounds.

    Fury is just playing usual mind games. No way would he recklessly go for a ko. He'll jab Hybrid into late submission. Skill wise he's so far above Wilder it's not funny.

    Hanging on the words of Fury is now recognized by the World Psychiatry Association as a sub-category of clinical personality disorder.

    Hint: the answers are all the same answer.

    If it happens, the KO talk will be to build hype.

    Fury and his team obviously believe in their man to take such a risky fight. They could have chased the AJ payday n retired. Good to see him challenging himself and then putting himself in a much better position in the AJ negotiations, if he wins.

    Risky but could be rewarding

    if he lands first maybe not. Boxing is a gamble sometimes. The greats have always gambled a little and been open to punches. I don't think a fighter can be a true great by being safe all the time.

    He said he would spark put Klitchko and threw 7 punches a round so i wouldn't take the man too seriously.

    Great achievement and taking nothing away from Fury because he got the win, but it was the worst 'fight' i have ever seen.

    And before the defenders of the sweet science get their knickers in a twist, boxing isn't called don't hit and don't be hit..

    Fury might make mistakes but trading with Wilder will not be one of them, Wilders one big weapon is his punch power, Fury is not going to test his firepower against Wilder.

    Naaah, he's hyping up the fight. He knows trading with Wilder would be stupid - Wilder's key weapon is his knockout power and Fury is not exactly a heavy puncher. Jab, move, wear him in clinches, pick the points and frustrate Wilder into more and more mistakes. And IF an opportunity presents itself, well Fury is not feather-fisted either...

    Personally, I think he will go for the KO. Will look to box and frustrate on the outside, wait for Wilder to come looking for him and then counter punch at mid range, or tie up and rough up/rag around at close range. I think he is gonna go in there looking to just impose himself on Wilder. The worst place to be against a puncher is just on the edge of their range - so he will be elusive on the outside and then close the distance in the pocket to make it an inside fight - where he will be looking to hurt Wilder to the head as well as body I think. When you watch him on the pads he frequently seems to slip and spin into an angle at close range and then deliver short and powerful counters.

    No matter what he says or does prior to the fight, it's safe to assume that he's going to box from the outside using his reach and movement.
