    Detontay is a dosser, he's getting sparked out, 100%

    8th round

    I hope so. But no I disagree.

    Lads Wilder was ahead on a judges scorecard in the last fight even though the consensus is he was fairly beaten. " fury on points" is a good shout if fight was on in UK.

    Fury knows this. I think fury needs to get him out of there as the best he gets is another draw if it goes the distance.



    Wilder KO 5-8 for me.

    Yes. Even if Fury were to win this fight comfortably on points, he would lose on a "split" decision

    Also,what is the state of furys eye? It is probably going to open up early . Fury has to have a gameplan to deal with that

    I can't see this going the distance

    Rumours today about Fury's cut having opened up in sparring. Given the huge orifice he had in his face I think that might be the reasoning behind him putting on weight - to try to end the fight before the cut opens. It's gotta be a huge worry for him.

    Wilder KO's Fury in the 9th/10th round.

    Fury got away with it in the first fight. He won't this time. I want Fury to win but all signs point to him panned out on the floor near the end of the fight. With the extra weight he's going to make a mistake and Wilder will clock him.

    Those who think Fury will KO Wilder needs their heads examined. :pac:

    Ya know what I hope i'm wrong I'd love to see Wilder KO'd!:D

    Sure what do you know about boxing.

    if i was Wilder id be rubbing the corn rowed platted hair into his eyebrow in the clinch. anything to open it up. fury was visibly flustered when it happened in wallin fight. Spilling claret against wilder is a different ball game.

    Wilder's last fight was with the PBC. They'd want him to win. This is a joint promotion so the judging should be fair.

    It may have been "fair" before but there is a lot of subjectivity in scoring bouts. Not saying some judging isn't bent but two people looking at the same fight can have a different opinion.

    If I was Wilder I'd be avoiding clinches at all cost unless in serious trouble.
    He has no inside game to speak of himself, and Fury has shown in the past he's well able to make fighters carry his weight on the inside and land shots from there (ala the Cunningham fight).

    It's difficult for guys with long arms to fight on the inside and Wilder simply can't do it very well.
    Almost all of his knockouts come while closing the distance, often when the other fighter is coming to him.
    But the few finishes he has on the inside came after he had guys out on their feet from a shot while closing the distance (Audley Harrison and Gerald Washington are examples) and he followed up with winging shots mostly missing, with a few grazing shots, enough to get the stoppage.

    Wilder's best way to win this fight is just like how he's won others. Use his jab (try and target Fury's eye if possible), be patient, stay on the outside and invite Fury in, and when Fury starts to close, look to step in and land the big right hand.

    Yeah, in some ways the approach is more straight forward for wilder as it is the same approach as always. Just don't think he can be as patient as against ortiz as fury will come out him from a few more angles

    I find it amusing when people use the word "patient" to describe Wilder's complete inability to cope with being outboxed.

    He had a complete inability to cope with being outboxed against ortiz? Yet still was composed enough to knock him out the first second he had a chance?

    Being outboxed for round after round is not being patient!

    It's being outboxed.

    And what exactly has that got to do with patience?

    Being outboxed because your boxing skills aren't very good does not = patience.

    Well here's the thing Tit. Clamp. I never claimed to be an expert. Just a casual boxing fan looking forward to the fight. Are you an expert? Please share your knowledge on the fight.

    Anyway. I hope the rumours about Fury's eye injury are false. That really could be a huge problem for him in a few hours time. Hope its bull****.

    My view is he was happy to let ortiz win rounds as he was biding his time to wait for the right opening. Anyway, agree to disagree mate. Enjoy the fight tonight.

    Hopefully Wilder knocks Fury out, Fury is really starting to annoy me now with his carry on.

    Andre Ward excellent which doesnt surprise me.
