Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder-Tyson Fury: The Heist

[aboutfkntime]

Joshua allowed himself to be mugged

This really is journalistic sophistry, hyperbole, fancy rhetoric, and an attempt to try and sell interest in what real boxing fans will see as a farce of a fight.

Wilder has never been in the ring with a guy around his height, with decent boxing skills, decent chin - and most of all is as crazy as him.

My prediction for this circus sideshow is either a Draw, or decision either way. It's only draw is it's unpredictability, and if I didn't know better, Wilder and Fury being such chums means they could certainly write the script for the fight for the benefit of both of them.
Fury will be on his toes, Jabbing and holding when in close, with Wilder occasionally throwing some windmills with his eyes shut.

Maybe I'll be wrong, but styles make fights, and Wilder, also knows his career is almost over if he loses to Fury, because he won't have anything to bargain with when it comes time to ink a Joshua - Wilder deal.

AJ v Povetkin is way more exciting. Povetkin comes forward in a very similar way to old Iron Mike, gloves tucked under the chin, looking to slip punches and throw overhand rights, lefts, and shots to the body.
AJ will drill him hard for 3-4 rounds before Poorvetkin goes out on his shield.
C'mon, how ****** do these writers think we are?

only a AJ fanboy would consider AJ vs Povetkin more compelling than Wilder vs Fury

Exactly this.

AJ and Hearn look like absolute fools now. Tickets for Povetkin weren't doing great before, PPVs will be bad now. All questions at their presser will be about Wilder Fury. This fight is truly embarrassing for them.

I just hope Fury is on point for this fight and he's in good enough condition. If he is, and he wins then his stock goes up unbelievably. We'll see, definitely gunna try for tickets!

you are right to some degree, the Fury-Wilder fight will take some of the limelight but i still think PPV and the gate will be strong as ever is for AJ he is huge business in the UK now simple as that and Povetkin may not be the mega fight but certainly is not a nobody.

Is Tris Dixon actually J K Rowling's sportswriter pen name? From the tone of this article, they should hold the fight at Hogwart's...

[Dat]

Nice article. Spot on. I’d watch this anytime over chinny Joshua vs the roider Povetkin.

Furry wilder is a great fight, if furry wins Joshua should avoid him at all costs.. and maybe now the British will understand we don’t hate British fighters we just hate Joshua’s fans and they’re easy to enrage

You can't be serious Lol AJ v Povetkin is not "exciting." No one was asking for or is truly interested in that fight. It's just a solid duck job by Eddie.
