It's because of this place that I have permanently swapped fuckin with fookin in my everyday conversations.
Man Wilder can't even cut a 30 second threat promo without awkwardly sounding like he has a mouth full of marbles.
I do really wonder about what direction Tysons mindset might go after watching such a massive showdown with AJ go up in smoke now. Not clamoring for a 3rd Wilder fight but have to say they've rounded out the undercard pretty deep with a couple of top hvy prospects, a couple guys in make or break fights and a decent rematch. Wilder has to know it's all or nothing for him hear just as much as Fury knows he is perfectly capable of bullying and dominating him now. Never count a puncher out and he'll shoot his wad all out in the first round trying to behead Tyson.
Fury gets the opportunity to put on a dominant performance against a guy he knows he has the beating of and emerge undefeated, the lineal champ and the person most people would consider to be the real heavyweight champion. He'll be happy enough with that. He'll be looking forward to fighting either Usyk or Joshua next. Either fight is almost certainly going to be in Saudi and for massive money. Saudi want a massive undisputed fight for all the marbles and they're not bothered if it's two Brits or an Eskimo and an Aborigine, they'll come up with a massive cheque to buy the fight. Fury wins on Saturday and his name is on the cheque. Maybe he's even more motivated because he sees Joshua losing out in the rematch and can go on and make the huge purses while not having to let Joshua in on any of it.
I think Fury fights up or down to the level of his opponent. That's why he can put in a performance like the Wallin fight and then do what he did against Wilder. I'm expecting a replay of the second fight although Wilder obviously thinks he has a chance and will be throwing everything he has into it. I expect Fury to win though.
Just thinking here. Fury and Usyk both win the rematches. You then have two undefeated fighters fighting for all the marbles. Saudi want a globally significant event and it doesn't get much better than that and the money they put up for the fight will reflect that, it'll be at least what they were going to pay for Fury Joshua at the start of the year. Better global interest than two guys from the same country, one of whom managed to get knocked out by the Michelin Man.
