The Tommy Fury fight was hilarious, Dubois needs another step up to really test him, so we can get an idea of how good he is, forget as well he is only 22

Another impressive performance from Dubois, he’s on his way to the top. :thup:

Dubois looks good but he hasn't fought anyone decent yet so Joyce would be a really interesting test.

Really enjoying the build up. Can’t help but feel Wilders confidence is misplaced. Fury really wasn’t knocked down heavily last time... watched it 100s of times now and the first time he was off balance and the second was a clip when he was weaving... I can’t believe he won’t be fitter and stronger now. I really don’t think Wilder will be better than he was in the last fight. Perhaps he’ll try and blow Fury away as quick as he can but I think that will play into fury’s hands. Can’t see him getting caught cold. The more I think about it the more I think Fury is going to win. I hope he does. Yes Wilder has a big one punch. I just still don’t rate him at all. I’d be amazed if he beat Fury, Joshua and Whyte.

I see Yard had a win at the weekend against a guy with a 4/48/3 record in a disco in Spain

It was so he can challenge for the WBO. You can't challenge for it coming off a loss. Liam Smith done the same thing after the Canelo loss so he could fight Williams.

i know mate, a bit of a silly rule if you ask me. You would think the WBO wouldnt let you challenge for there strap unless you have just beaten a top 10 and not just let you get a win against any old uber driver

i get the feeling the the massive cut suffered by Fury in his last fight is going to come back and haunt him here - really hope he wins but have a strange feeling about this one

I fancy Fury big time to beat Wilder, I thought in the last fight Wilder was getting a good hiding and this time Fury will be a lot fitter so should be able to batter him easier this time.

Wilder has a huge knockout punch but nothing else to offer, and if he connects he will knock anyone out, if Fury can avoid that he will win handsomely imo.

This is exactly it. I can't see Fury stopping Wilder so he'll need to avoid that sledgehammer of a right for 12 rounds.

He connected cleanly last time and didn't knock Fury out.

Fury is just a big big man. That is the problem , even for absolutely huge punchers.

It just doesn't affect him as much. Wilder's face in the 12th round when Fury got up in their fight was a picture.

Philosophical to an extent but the rest of it was "really?"

That has to dent Wilder's confidence surely.

He's a **** boxer and he now knows that his usually reliable knockout power may not work on Fury.

I give Wilder a lot of credit. He never gives up and has enough confidence he will KO fighters who are better technically than him. Fury getting up was one of those ‘you have to see it to believe it’ moments.

I want Fury to win all the way, he will have to box the perfect fight to do so. Fascinating fight though, proper 50/50 imo. Wouldn’t be ruling out a robbery on the scorecards in Vegas either unfortunately.

Fair few bookies offering Evens for the fight to go the distance. Neither boxer has been knocked out let alone lost a fight. Seems like free money?

No idea why but got really choked up watching Tyson’s kids watching him box especially when his eye got busted up. Really grown fond of him and hope he manages to beat Wilder.

I think Wilder knocks Fury down before the end of R2 and probably knocks him out before R5.

That would be if he was fighting Joshua not Fury.

Fully agree that AJ is a glass cannon. I just think Wilder will have a better strategy for this fight.
