5 Reasons why Fury LOSES to Wilder

1. He changed trainers and tactics right before the fight. This new KRONK philosophy involves him coming in heavier, and hence will be slow and easier to hit — which is everything Fury CAN’T afford in this fight. 2. He said he’s taking the fight to Wilder, but he doesn’t have the chin of McCall nor does he have the punching power to put Wilder down. No matter how good of recovery he has or how beautifully he boxes for the rest of the fight, if he gets knocked down multiple times, he either loses via TKO or on points (because of 10-8 rounds). 3. He hasn’t taken boxing seriously, while Wilder has. Fury is the one who’s been doing WWE shows and writing his biography. 4. Wilder was subpar in their first fight; he won’t be this time. 5. Much as he trains and eats right, Fury can’t undo the damage of the drug abuse and wild living he subjected his body to several years ago. That sort of thing leaves a lasting effect on one’s heart and cardiovascular system, and that will make it more difficult for Fury to do what he does best: be elusive.

Those can all be excuses as well.

I'd estimate that 95% of NSB users predicted Wilder to knock him out the first time Well I was one of the 5%. And I don't think it was anywhere near that percentage, for what it's worth. I'm edging towards Wilder this time. For two reasons: 1. Wilder got to Fury twice in the second half of the first fight. He was learning. He's shown that he can learn. 2. Regardless of when the fights finished, Wilder has been fighting at a higher level since the first fight. That means training with intensity for reasonably credible (though hand picked) fighters. Fury fought two hand picked guys who really shouldn't have come near him. It's hard to believe that he trained with the intensity that he would if he had a credible threat entering the ring against him. That second one is the kicker for me. You can talk about Fury lifting his game for the better fights, but he's spent 18 months boxing in C or D Grade. That's a disadvantage now he's going back up to a top level threat.

Hopefully Fury can stay smart for 12 rounds, win the decision, and finally get his just due as one of the greatest heavyweights of all time.

Big stiff dosser swinging away losing all the rounds looking to land a lucky punch. It's tyson Fury's fight to lose.

Everyone, literally everyone on this board other than myself and a couple of others, predicted that Wlad would spark Fury clean out. I'd estimate that 95% of NSB users predicted Wilder to knock him out the first time Fury will prove you all wrong again, mark my words. Y'all dksab.

Fury not at his best beat wilder. But you could tell fury wasn't at his best in the fight. That punch wilder landed in 12th shouldn't have landed but furys reactions were slower than at his best. Fury hasn't got shape on top of shape like wilder. But it should be enough to beat wilder again

Fury is getting tired in the Last 3 rounds of every fight. Even back in the day when he beat klitschko. Thats his biggest Problem and i Think thats where wilder will catch him and stop him.

I think Wilder wins but I could give 5 reasons why he loses 1. He's getting old 2. He looked dog **** against Ortiz for most of the fight 3. Fury is a nightmare match up for him/anyone 4. Fury has more fights under his belt than last time 5. Fury has ditched Davidson and got a proper trainer
