Round 12: Tyson Fury's Resurrection Is pretty good if you can view it (30min). It’s from their last fight and includes snippets from Wilder. There seems to be some mutual admiration between the pair of them.
Not really sure what will happen this time. Despite Fury supposedly training for a knockout, I think he may nick it on points (even though it’s in the US) ... either that or Wilder will spark him before the mid rounds.

This isnt rocket science , pretty much everyone is saying Fury on points or a wilder knockout ,
But Fury himself is predicting he will knockout Wilder , has switched trainers, being trained by Sugarhill Steward nephew to the great Emmanuel Steward , Sugarhill himself is saying they have been working on his power and will stop Wilder . So there is a bit of intrigue around all that, whether its foxing or real . He has put on size , that concerns me a bit . logic to me says he needs to be on the move, but that seems to suggest they will fight him on the inside , more intrigue.
While wilder isnt a great boxer , his power is real , very unorthodox in that seemingly winning rounds on points isnt important to them , its all about stalking his opponent down to deliver the finishing blow and while his boxing skills arent great , his ability to cut off space and set traps is under rated, particularly with distance. i think we will see a more composed Wilder this time , both fighters should be better.
Intriguing fight , ive been switching back and forward who I think will win, since it was announced .
Two undefeated heavyweights in their prime.
No doubt Fury will take the majority of the rounds , but will he elude that big right hand ?

just watched this , the walking talking encyclopedia of boxing Max kellerman gives some great analysis ,

Eddie Hearn got bagged for saying it ,
But said a couple of weeks ago , he is switching his tip to wilder , Can’t say exactly what I’ve heard , but heard fury’s camp has not gone So well ,
Now in the days leading up to the fight , rumours have surfaced , fury’s cut from the previous fight has shown some not to good signs , and he hasn’t been able to spar properly, plus aggravated an ankle and hasn’t done any road work

Best heavyweight performance for some time ,
So dominant
-
Throwing the towel in is such a huge statement
-
@MiketheSnow I reckon. That’s huge. They will all be sacked probably but Fury was killing him.

The fight plan , to go forward and be aggressive, Against the punching power of wilder ,
Was courageous and brilliantly executed

Fury is so many things he shouldn't be. He looks like a gangly mess of arms and legs but he's light on his feet and a pretty gracefull fighter. He looks like he should gas but he doesn't.
I think he's probably restored the faith of a lot of pugilists purists. He's a real boxer. He goes out there with a plan and executes it. He used his weight perfectly and it was ultimately Wilder's own signature punch, straight right, from Fury that stopped the fight. To have had someone like Wilder, a non boxer, at the top for so long genuinely annoyed people. Me included. To have someone in that position routinely saying he wanted to kill people in the ring is fantastic to have gone. This sport doesn't need shit like that.
Never liked Fury, thought he was just some goofball that got lucky a whole lot. But he's easily the best HW since Lennox Lewis. The Klitschko's deserve their praise but he is better.

Ditto. But I'll happily admit he has proved me wrong. He can box.

It was pretty damn elaborate.

Wilder confirmed he's exercising the rematch clause.

And at 6 foot 9 and 123 kilos he is a monster , that sheer bulk to go with his skills , would probably make him awkward to fight for anyone in history , i think its fair to say that now
