    Once again, no legal way to pay for an event I want to pay for. Do they not want money from Irish customers?

    Yeh, it’s a bit irritating..

    So, if you don’t have Sky TV in Ireland, you can’t legally book this? Is that right?

    I told you lads. 273lbs Fury.

    Odds have barely changed after the weigh-in. Both level now. Fury was slight favourite before weigh-in..

    I think the extra weight on Fury May make him less mobile, hence that bit easier to track and hit.

    Wilder was fav all week before the weigh in. Odds have moved slightly in Wilder's favour again after weigh in. He's even money on betfair. Fury 2.14

    It’s a 50/50 fight in my opinion. Wilder won’t win on points and fury won’t score a KO.

    Fury manages to avoid wilders hard punches all night and he wins on points.

    Wilder is very wild and hugely reliant on landing a KO blow. He doesn’t have elite level boxing skills.

    For some reason I am leaning slightly towards a wilder ko this time.

    I’m thinking a Fury KO. Wilder will try to be cautious and not dive in. Fury to pick him apart and make him lose concentration and patience when he is behind. Fury will slip a big shot then get wilder in trouble and finish him. Round 8/9

    Fury is going to get caught when he plants his feet in front of Wilder.

    Think coming in heavier/KO in 2 rounds talk from Fury is to deter Wilder from being more aggressive from the start.

    Which is exactly what Wilder needs to do, get on him from the start, open up and let his punches go.

    Fury via KO/TKO/DQ
    Pity about the weight, Fury's best chance was to box and move.

    Surprised with Andy Lee involved to let that happen.

    Wilder KO


    he always finishes the job second time round..........

    I was leaning towards a Wilder ko, but then i thought about what Ortiz was able to do for seven rounds before he faded. A sharper and fitter Wilder should not tire as Ortiz did, so i think Fury will be able to remain elusive for 12 rounds.

    Could be unpreventable,
    Rumours of an long term ankle injury so he had to change game plan,

    Wilder is a light heavy, I think fury looks great for a man of 6 foot 9, concerned he already has a fat lip and cut over his eye though

    I've never seen him so bulked up. Not sure it's a good thing for him.

    I've written out my thoughts on this one for anyone interested.

    Great article man. Nice writing style. The more I think about what I have heard in interviews from Tyson, big john, sugar hill and your point about the kronk approach, along with the added weight....I think tyson will go for the ko. Can deontay capitalize on that? We will see tonight :)

    He's also massively above his natural weight. If he doesn't get an early KO he could really struggle with the cardio. Be interesting to see is he's packed any muscle onto his chicken legs.

    Massively?

    I wouldn’t call 7-10 lbs on his frame massive at all...

    Thank you very much. I think Fury might try and press matters if he senses Wilder is hurt. Big roll of the dice but I'm leaning towards Fury going for it. He has to carry power at that size, his style for years has just tended towards movement based, outside style wins. Whether he gets the chance to, remains to be seen. Wilder is a fùcking freak. Cannot call this one.

    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
