Lol after that presser I'm even more hyped honestly, I know that's what Fury does best and generally in the ring it's not as compelling... but people saying he's going to do to Wilder what he did to Klitschko just seems unrealistic to me. Wilder is not Klitschko. If Fury is boxing his pants off Wilder is going to start swinging for the fences, maybe he catches Fury or maybe he leaves him self wide open to get dropped by him. Compelling matchup, without a doubt.
its a significant fight because the lineal as well the WBC belt is on the line. As a fight I'm not expecting a classic fight by any stretch of the imagination. Wilder has a struggle in his boxing and Fury is a cokehead who abused his body. It's more I expect Wilder to eventually land that right hand and Fury goes night night. It really needed a better undercard than the one thats announced.
I'm looking forward to it but the price tag is ridiculous. And I'm the type of guy to put cash on good PPVs but I don't feel like this is worth 75, should've been 40 bucks.
I was not feeling this fight until this week...maybe I have been watching too many promotional videos recently.
Also, it’s free where I live on Fox sports...which makes this undercard and main event look all the better :cool:
I'm interested in it but not really excited because I don't think Fury has a prayer. Stevenson vs Gvozdyk i'm really excited about, but there doesn't seem to be much hype around it unfortunately.
Wilder-Fury will be what it is, a dude that hasn’t had a legit fight in years and has fought off drug and mental issues during his hiatus against a non-technical tall boxer with power.
Definitely be watching but expect Fury to tire out late and get caught. He may survive but he won’t win, if he looks good, he still won’t win....it’ll be a draw.
I do want to Stevenson lose though, so overhyped, so protected and he used to beat women. I’m looking more forward to that one than the Fury one honestly.
The hype has definitely died down significantly.
When it was announced, most people thought it might pull 500k, and now most are predicting below 200k.
I put some of the blame on Mayweather stealing their thunder.
But most of the blame should be on the announcement of Pac/Broner, which I expect to sell waaaay more than Wilder/Fury.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure all the people who were hoping this fight didn't happen and praying Fury would pull out are getting pretty disappointed by now and probably not feeling very motivated for the fight.
Wilder get's late KO's too, so don't worry about that. Let's see if Tyson can run and avoid getting clobbered for 36 mins. I doubt it very seriously.
Fury is too old and fat, his legs are gone 3 years ago.
Really interesting to see so many people on here certain that Fury stands no chance.
I'm excited for it, and I see the potential for a lot of different outcomes. Wilder could get a late KO, Fury could win on points... But maybe Fury leads in points and gets dropped one or two times and it's a draw. Maybe Fury catches Wilder when he's swinging wildly and KD or KOs him, he's extremely vulnerable.
Fury looks to be in good shape, still got great movement, and he's got power when necessary, he's just too smart to get coaxed into a slugfest. Maybe it's a mismatch but maybe the guy everyone expects to lose will get an emphatic win. It's hard not to be excited just because of that unknown factor.
