[smashup]

Billy Joe Saunders has bet £70,000 on Fury to win @ 11/8

Interesting press conference.
I have always been team Fury, and 100% believe the only man that beats Fury is himself, at least for this bout.
However if it doesn't go Fury's way I doubt we will see him fight again.

Wilder sounds like such a dummy.

[ruthless rocco]

Wilder goes all Mike Tyson: "I'm gonna eat you! My family's gonna eat you!

[Freedom]

Remember when Wilder assaulted a woman in Las Vegas?

Fury has never done anything that low, he's not one to bully women like Wilder!

- Wilder raves on like a lunatic
- Wilder is afraid to fight Joshua and then LIES and says Joshua is avoiding him
- Wilder avoided all the top ten heavyweights for years
- Wilder beats up old faded clubfighters and then celebrates like he's beaten Joshua

How can anyone support Wilder?

[Master]

I think Wilder is rattled which is why he went into crazy mode. Fury held it together.

One nil to Fury.

[Mark TKO]

I’m getting to the stage where I just cannot see Fury losing.

No idea why...

Nearly as big as my bet.

[Fenster]

This is why Wilder mentally cracked

[Gandalf]

He was a novice. Not as though he was sparked out or anything. He is not facing Wlad here.

Deontay Wilder vs Tyson Fury: Bronze Bomber gunning for first-round KO of ‘scared’ Gypsy King

The trash talk has intensified with very little time remaining until the big fight

Deontay Wilder has declared he could blast Tyson Fury out of the ring in one round on Saturday night.

The WBC champion disposed of mandatory challenger Bermane Stiverne within three dramatic minutes little over a year ago, and believes his upcoming bout could play out in similar fashion.



“I’m definitely – the way I’m feeling – I could see a first round knockout,” Wilder told ThaBoxingVoice when asked about his heated demeanour on fight week.

“This guy is scared, Tyson Fury is scared. I know fear.

“It’s certain ways you look, certain ways with your eye contract, certain ways with your facial expressions. Even certain things that you said.

“I’ve been in a lot of situations in my lifetime, I’ve been a lot of fights too, I know what fear looks like.

“I know what fear looks like, I can sense it. Just like a dog can smell fear, we can do the same thing too.”

Deontay Wilder sympathises with his opponent however, and thinks it’s understandable that he should fear him due to his explosive punching power.

The American is 40-0 with 39 KOs, having rematched the only person he beat by decision (Stiverne) and then blitzed him too.

“Why would he not be scared?” Wilder continued, “I’m a 98 per cent knockout ratio, he‘s only 70 per cent.

“He’s never been in the ring with someone of my calibre. Every fight he’s been in has been a boring fight.

“The only fight that was exciting was seeing him getting dropped by Steve Cunningham, a cruiserweight.

“With me, I’m a natural killer. I have a natural killer instinct in the ring.

“I’ve knocked out every fighter in the ring, that right there speaks volumes.”

Deontay Wilder vs Tyson Fury: British contender Anthony Yarde has last-minute fight announced for undercard

The light-heavyweight will return to action on the December 1 show

Anthony Yarde will face Israel Duffus on the undercard of Deontay Wilder vs Tyson Fury this Saturday.

The British light-heavyweight contender is looking to move to 18-0, having already won his first 17 contests, 16 by knockout.



Yarde has come in for criticism in some spaces regarding the lack of testing opposition he has faced him in his professional career thus far – and his latest foe will do nothing to change that.

However. it is acknowledged that the Londoner had limited amateur experience and so is very much learning on the job.

26-year-old Duffus is a Panamanian boxer who has 19 wins and five losses on his record. He was last seen in a unanimous decision defeat to Charles Foster on November 18.

SOOOOO MUUUUCH TALKING.....I mean I get it, the fighters have mics shoved in their faces and the media want soundbites, the fans want drama, but holy shit it drives me nuts as a fan sometimes because we'll hear all this talking and then post fight "Oh I didn't win because I have a broken pinky toe" or some other bullshit excuse for why the fight wasn't a slugfest or KO as they predicted.


The mind games that are played are pointless IMO...you want to get in a fighter's head? Well if you don't do it right you COULD get them completely focused, you COULD reveal your own gameplan and they'll just be ready for that and use it against you, you COULD inspire your foe to victory with bulletin board material.


My point is that talking so much shit it reaches a point of diminishing returns...it is not exciting as a fan when 100% of everyone is all "I'm going to kill that guy!", yes yes we know, everyone else says that shit too the winners AND the losers.
