    Late Picks & Thoughts on Wilder vs Fury

    Who ya got? How they gonna do it?

    I gotta say as fights get closer I tend to get a better & more confident opinion on a fight. And with this fight just days away now I think I got my official picks on the book finally.

    Originally I was on the other side, but as we are getting closer to the fight the realism of how this fight goes has become more real. And that being the case I can't really see how Wilder can contend with Fury. The only chances I see for Wilder to come thru this Saturday is if Fury is nowhere close to the guy who fought Klitschko in 2015 &/or Wilder catches Fury solid with that right hand & just puts him to sleep.

    Fury's boxing & ring IQ are 2x+ whatever Wilder's are. And thats winning more fights then a hard puncher. I've often commended Wilder on his risk taking in the ring, but I think those risk taking situations are gonna backfire when in with a guy like Fury who's among the quickest HW's of this era & will surely catch Wilder slippin.

    So that makes my pick Fury W12 Wilder.

    Random other sh^t about this fight:

    While I'm picking & betting Fury I'll be rooting for Wilder cuz I think Joshua vs Wilder is the bigger fight to make than anything else right now.

    If Wilder's team can get Wilder taking fewer risks then normal & just jab alot with Fury while trying to catch him with a hard right I think I like Wilder's chances a whole lot better.

    I wouldn't be surprised to see both guys get dropped in this one. Fury early, Wilder later & perhaps while getting stopped if things go too south in this fight.

    If this fight goes the distance I won't be surprised with a wonky scorecard or two. One judge in particular, Robert Tapper, seems ripe for a sketchy card.

    Whatever happens, I don’t think it’s going to go down the way anyone is predicting. I think Wilder and Fury both surprise us with their tactics.

      Fury has had two cherry picks I'm his last two fights and didn't look decent in either of them.
      Wilder is the better conditioned and the more athletic fighter.
      I just can't see Fury hurting Deontay at all and when he decides he's had enough he will go for the kill.
      Wilder by K/O rnd 10.

        There's no question, that Fury is the more complete fighter of the two. However, my greatest misgiving about Tyson Fury is his lack of conditioning.

        After a two and a half year layoff and stepping up to championship level opposition with only two bouts under his belt against two overmatched and limited opponents; In my judgement, is just isn't nearly enough time to prepare for a Deontay Wilder championship bout where he is going to be tested, hit and pushed to the limit.

        I just think that his overall physical conditioning his going to suffer because of it. Also, when you add into the equation of all the abuse he has put his body through. I may be wrong but it could only weaken him physically.

          I can't see out of condition Fury winning.

          I hope Wilder doesn't carry him as I fear there may be something amiss going on here as I recall Warren talking about 1 or more fights before he'd match him up vs the top 2.

          And this fight was announced, so I am wary...

            So many dudes are saying Fury is done because he “ruined himself with booze and coke”

            Hell, fighters in the 80’s were doing what Fury did during camp lol

              Got a link to that? I remember him saying he didn’t want to sign with Hearn because Eddie wanted to give him 4 matches before a title shot.

                Sh^t idk that I would even call those cherry pick fights. They seemed more like get back on the map fights to me. But I get your point.

                Wilder is the better conditioned and the more athletic fighter.
                I agree he probably is.

                I just can't see Fury hurting Deontay at all and when he decides he's had enough he will go for the kill.
                I used to have this sign hanging up in my garage gym that said "Fear Makes Cowards Of Men". I think if Wilder gets stopped by a guy not known for his punching/power it'll look sorta like that sign contends some mfers are when they get tired.

                  SRL was doing coke a year before the Hagler fight. And Wilder is no Hagler so yea I agree. Fury could use coke this week & it wouldn't hurt his chances to win THAT much lol.

                    Not handy.
                    But I believe it was in the ring after his first comeback fight.
