Wilder vs Fury 2, Sat. Feb 22 @MGM, LV

Obviously, Fury is a better boxer, and Wilder is one hell of a puncher..

Styles make fights.

The over/under is 10.5 rounds, per that particular linked source.

That's a tough one also to call.

Myself, I had Fury winning their first bout by one point.

They'll probably give it to Wilder.

Same I had Fury as well.

Possible. I'm leaning that way myself.

The best way to know, would be to be in Vegas and go TALK to key (insider) people THIS WEEK.

the longtime track-record pros.

Then you'll increase the odds of 'knowing'.

So if Fury really won the 1st one, will they get you to watch #3 by giving it to Deontay this time around?

Probably and then they'll do a trilogy fight.

going wilder this time.

still cant believe he got up.wilders face says it all.
good fight,good night

Awesome.

Great post, friend.

We all want to see HEART more than anything when we see warriors battle.

Because heart is really the essential human-metaphor for life in general.

Cheers and props to the man or woman that doesn't give up and rises to beat the count .. against seeming insurmountable odds and dire adversity.

In ALL aspects of life itself.

You know it..

Wilder in the 4th.

Fury is a better boxer, technically.

Wilder is a better athlete and may have better KO power.

Classic brawler can technician (except that Lennox Lewis could beat them both consecutively in one night)

Analyzing Wilder's style .. my impression is that he's not particularly disciplined, defensive-wise, not in a true boxing sense. Nothing like an EARLY Mike Tyson or a Floyd Mayweather or a Lennox Lewis (or a Pernell Whitaker .. or a Marvin Hagler or a Ray Leonard).

Wilder's greatest strength is his patience and that resolve to wait ... until his opponent relaxes (too much) and lowers his guard - and hands - one too many times. Then it's that waiting opportunistic right hand with a long long reach to the chin and ... lights out.

Big highly-skilled guys like Lennox Lewis would drive Wilder crazy, as the fight wore on. Like a WELL-conditioned Holyfield did to a defensively-weak Mike Tyson on 2 separate occasions. And I think Foreman's chin would survive Wilder's bombs. Wilder vs a YOUNG jab-master Larry Holmes would sure be interesting.

So how would a young (Mike) Tyson do against Wilder? That would depend on the date - being with Cus D'Amato or w/o D'Amato.. Tyson would have to corner Wilder though, in order to deliver the goods..

One of those two would definitely be knocked out in that theoretical bout.

Then we have Tyson Fury. Who looks (and dances) somewhat unorthodox, but fights smart, and does use his own particular defense (in spite of the knockdown by Wilder). Fury isn't a remarkable hitter, but utilizes those other skills and smarts, plus alot of heart and willpower to achieve his in-ring success.

Is Wilder in the All-Time Top Five, power-wise amongst heavies? Statistically, yes. Based on %s and KOs within 3 rounds.

I say "no", based on actual/real power and his degree of 'competition'. As Wilder hits (KOs) guys when they least expect it, in all rounds. Definitely there in the Top Twelve or Top Twenty Heavyweights (of alltime). He's the most opportunistic Heavyweight I think I have seen since a young Mike Tyson. Similar to a stalking/searching Julian Jackson (hard-hitting middleweight).

No (power) comparison to Earnie Shavers, George Foreman, Ken Norton, Dempsey, Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Holyfield, Donovan 'Razzor' Ruddock - all in their PRIME..

And Wilder's chin is nothing special, either.

yeah good call,a very good technician vs a supreme athlete,but to the caliber?think individually their traits are comparable.general toughness,grit,more showbiz than genuine menace in the psych game.i dont think these guys today fight enough.makes the divisions less competitive,reliant on hype and self promotion.

Fury by tko

Wilder. The fights typically end after he identifies a hole in his opponents defense his power is a real fight changer.

I like Fury, he has a lot of heart and mental toughness but sometimes you meet a guy who has your number.

I think Wilder found his number late in the last fight and remembered it since.

It'll take a few rounds but it'll happen. Fury in his back once again.

watched the first fight again.remember first time we watched it i said the British commentary was a little bias.still thought wilder won,but fury fought an excellent fight.not enough damage.i agree with teddy here.

as for the australian,the 6-7 guy looked like a wet drink of water.ozi is an Olympian,you'd think he can box.

i shoulda rolled denny @ daytona into wilder.kicking myself.

i did get up to 288$ on an all up,but lost 3rd leg.if i dont hit on thursday,may bet wilder in the first 3 rounds.

reality



make any real money ?

yes or no ?

on the punt,definitely no.perpetually all in.

It's Hype and Prediction Week in Las Vegas.

And Trump shows up on Friday..

Boxer predictions:



All I'm saying right now is .. if it goes 12, Fury wins. If it's an under 12 result, Wilder wins..

Can Fury actually knock Wilder out? We all know Wilder can perhaps knock Fury down a few times...

And what is each man going to do differently or do the same this time around ...

Lessons learned??

I'm leaning toward the under on this one, btw..
