Comments Thread For: Arum on Fury-Wilder 3: We're Finishing Paperwork For July 24; Hopefully Done Today

[TrillScottHeron]

“...luckily, I’m a little sophisticated, so I know if you have a case where you’re a hundred-percent sure of winning and you don’t get the win, it can happen.” What the hell is Arum talking about? This right here is why you never trust a word out of a promoters mouth. Their all habitual liars and won’t even admit to their BS when everything falls apart. I hope Wilder takes Fury’s head off, due to how arrogantly his team went about denying and stalling the trilogy bout. I know Tevin Farmer is foaming at the mouth about how the JoJo Diaz fight fell through and now this ruling comes down. If you don’t want to fight again if declared the winner, don’t agree to a rematch in the contract.

I hope Wilder makes it more competitive this time and has worked on upping his game. However my gut tells me that Wilder is in for an embarrassing night.

Yes, Wilder might not fare any better than he did last year, and it will be interesting to see if Wilder once again enters the ring looking for all the world as if he really isn't up to fighting Fury. Fact is that the second my wife saw Wilder, she knew he was going to get clobbered; she stated it emphatically and laughed aloud at what Fury had done to him. Perhaps she was also laughing at me because I thought that Wilder would at least be competitive.

He was flattened with a beautiful double punch combination and was unconscious for several seconds, clearly concussed. 9 out of 10 referees would have called it off immediately. Fury was lucky Jack Reiss gave him the benefit of the doubt, and lucky he didn't get seriously hurt when he took a couple more hard shots after he continued. I don't believe he'll be so lucky in the third fight. Wilder's gonna beat him like a bad habit...

So the 10 second count is optional in your opinion even if they get up within the 10 seconds, because the ref should guess whether they are concussed? Good one.

A fighter beats the count and the ref asks if they can continue -- this is absolutely standard procedure. What you're saying basically ignores the rules of boxing.

The first fight was closely contested and should have been ruled a knock out. In the second fight, there is credible evidence to suggest that Fury cheated, which explains why he was hellbent on avoiding the contractually-agreed third fight for an entire year.

Just like he SUCCESSFULLY did after the Klitschko fight, when he tested positive for nandrolone.

I haven't seen one piece of credible evidence yet

There's a reason why Fury skipped out on the immediate rematch (Wilder had to obliterate Breazeale instead). He dodged a bullet and needed to give his head a rest.
The rules say that the discretion lies with the referee. Most would have called it off. That's all I'm saying. Fury was lucky it wasn't called off. I don't believe he'll be so lucky next time...
