Fury may kill Wilder

In a rage after Wilder knocks him out.

[Mark TKO]

Fury either plans to get 8 figures from this one and retire straight after or he is more than ready and has that ace up his sleeve.

First three rounds will be electric. Fury gets through those then it's his as is extra weight will start to have an effect.

I don't know, Mark. I don't think Wilder will go in there expecting an early KO. His bigger fights he tends to sit back, give away a few rounds, observe, tire his man down a bit, and then strike like a cobra. Wilder is athletic and can move around, certainly more than the likes of Wlad who most definitely has always had to pace himself. Wilder will throw in combination and is a tall rangy man himself. I cannot see Fury being ready. You cannot lose that weight, be as uninterested as he was and come back and beat Wilder IMO.

Agreed but it would be fantastic if he did manage to pull it off, regardless of how poor the fight may turn out to be if it goes all the way to points that would be some achievement for Fury.

he'll go in there wanting to hurt him early and prove he's boss.

What I'm saying is longer this goes on I favour Fury

He'll be in better shape than we've seen him so far

everybody said Primo carnera could not punch any killed two people in the ring. He was a giant and so is Tyson Fury. Anybody that size and that stature could kill someone in the ring given the right angle and the Right Punch. Don't kid yourself Tyson Fury made very well kill Wilder

Wilder is better judge of distance than fury is. Wilder only needs to find the courage to throw his shots. If he misses, is fury going to mug him on the counters. Doesn't seem likely after this weekends performance. Fury invited the shorter man in all night to show off his defense and then found him so close that he smothered any leverage on Fury's punches.

Wilder will have to work a little hard on delivery (not square up as much and bring the right across his body hidden behind the lead shoulder) with Fury's evasive head movement but the power will still be there. So i figure something like Wilder goes out to establish dominance in the first 4 or so. Fury plays sleeping dog hoping wilder wears himself out like he did against Ortiz, so he can capitalize in the middle rounds... but then starts trying to do his ali imitation rather than KO wilder because he wore himself out. Wilder weathers the storm and somewhere around 9 or 10 breaks his hand on Fury's melon and wins the fight via split decision (rematch marketing) from his bicycle. They'll talk and try to set up the rematch the UK side of the pond.

Wilder is freakishly unorthodox, and commits to his power shots. He is fit, brave and an exceptional athlete.

But he is not a technically good, or smart boxer. He came to the game late.

Fury has been boxing all his life, his background is a fighter's background. He has exceptional movement for such a big man and solid technique (albeit he is not really a big puncher)

The two things he has going for him are his size ..... he is a HUGE unit, who can fight like a big man and use his weight very effectively. He has ring smarts too.

The second thing is that he is a genuine nutcase. He won't be overawed or psyched out. He is unpredictable and does a very very good job of getting into people's heads.

Assuming he is more than half fit, of course he can beat Wilder.
