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

You could be right Dan, Wilder only kind of troubled Fury last time when he knew in the final round only a knockout could save him from a points defeat.

This time he can't afford to be going so far behind on points, he normally doesn't have to worry about that as his punch normally finishes every boxer he hits.

Fury is just so big that it didn't quite work last time, possibly because it was the last round and Wilder's strength might have been a bit less powerful by then.

As Fury's trainer said , make no mistake ,Wilder is dangerous in the early rounds, the middle rounds, the final rounds and even the next day!

Should be a fascinating contest I can't wait.

Fury won the last fight and everyone knows it. As long as he's not stupid and goes for a KO win early like he's saying he wins this one, it's the lapses in concentration that have been the issue for him down the years. Wilder has a ridiculous equaliser, it's like a cheat mode or something, superhuman one punch power, if he can't land cleanly though he struggles, it took until the 8th of the last fight for him to land a combo, 7 rounds went by in a World Title fight before the champion could land a combo, staggering.

Fury on points.

I was starting to lean towards Wilder - the cut bothers me - however having just watched the weigh in and the sheer size of Fury, I’m leaning back the other way.

If he does come forward like he’s promised I think he might stop Wilder and it may just be the better tactic. Negate those big old wings of Wilder and use his hand speed to work him over/break him down.

I suspect Fury is just acting up. He’ll just try to make slight adjustments from the first fight in the hope of fighting the perfect fight over 12.

Really hope he does it, just have a feeling he won’t as the fight draws closer. Great fight, proper 50/50 and worth setting the alarm for in the UK.

I used to think Fury was a bell-end, but have warmed to him over the last few years and I really hope he can pull it off tonight. Fury is a warrior and can take a proper punch but like others, I have concerns about the cut opening up again, but hopefully that doesn't happen
If this goes the distance then I'm convinced Fury wins on points. Wilder will need to stop Fury to win .
Come on the traveller!!

That one dropped out, anyone got another?

[DasNutNock2]

Who’s up & watching? Decent start from Tyson but I still think Wilder will find his chin at some point.

[Polaroid]

oh my!

[DasNutNock2]

Getting into the grappling phase already?

[Polaroid]

[DasNutNock2]

I’m on a Spanish commentary feed, r7 just started. Wilder getting lit up here, impressed with his durability.

[DasNutNock2]

Well f*ck me.

[Polaroid]

Didn't forecast that but fair play Fury. "Front Foot" Fury!

[Faithless]

Brilliant, yet again a boxer beats a one punch fighter

[DasNutNock2]

Absolute mauling. Props to Wilder’s corner for doing the right thing, their boy was getting lit up. Third fight later this year?
