Agreed.

But this press conference would be fine if Fury and Wilder both had strong resumes. They wouldn't need to force so much bs down our throats.

The simple fact is that it's a weak number 2 vs a weak number 3.

Joshua and Whyte are the only 2 guys to consistently fight high ranked fighters, and therefore build credibility and interest.

If Wilder had fought Whyte, and Fury fought Bellew or Miller, then this fight would feel huge. But it doesn't.

Why are crack heads saying boxing NEEDS this fight?

Seriously this fight doesn’t have me jacked up that they are fighting. There is just zero charisma to this fight. Frankly it’s just a blahhh type fight.

It’s just wilder has no it factor to his personality and Fury just always tries to come off as the goofball.

I’ll pass on a heavyweight PPV until it’s a fight for the undisputed championship.

Now this will be a proper build up. I hope Ginger and Triple Back Pedal are both watching this, getting some tips on how to sell a fight.

Well do you buy a ppv fight for the build up drama or for the fight itself cause you know what each fighter brings??

[_Rexy_]

well, the build up is a little cringeworthy because you can tell the two like each other in real life. But it's good for the sport, because they'll bring in casuals.

Wilder is the biggest con job in boxing, created to tap into tge gullible sheep that thought TMT and Ward were real. Just hyped protected house fighters who never won a legit fight on the level.

WWE pbc garbage... All we need now is either a gifted draw or win ala canelo or a low blow ala ward to make it follow another script.

I'm quite sure that a lively build up generates anticipation, excitement and... ticket sales. As long as it doesn't get too personal or scripted then I'm all for it.

you say wilder lacks jab? wait, are you from the mirror dimension

He doesnt have a good jab, falls over hes own feet and trails on scorecards against lower opposition because of low work rate. He doesnt pump a consistent jab. Fury throws the jab head and body. All Wilder does is flick and paw trying to set up hes right. Like Wlad, hes about to find out about how hes reach advantage has covered alot of hes weaknesses. He wont have that here.

Again as I said we are talking about this fight. Not Wilders previous opponents.

This is a terrible style matchup for bum Fury.

Wilder is faster. He will get his jabs off first against this fat loser. And Wilder isn't the typical short bum that Fury is used to fighting.

And after running away from boxing for so long he has come back even worse. The whole "depression" thing also tells us how mentally weak Fury is.

Do you honestly think he looked good against those two bums?
I don't.

And Wilder on the other hand has been getting death like KOs against top guys.

Fury ducked Ortiz. Wilder didn't.

Wilder has only fought one top guy,who was either suffering from high blood pressure or coming off of the juice. I saw Ortiz from ringside against Malik Scott. He was slow and shot. Wilders whole career has been bums, theres no a Klitschko or even a Chisora there. Not once has he fought a guy with footwork and a reach to match. Metally weak guys dont beat Wlad in Germany. Believe me, none of this matters. Wilder cant box, hes balance is awful, and even though Fury isnt a puncher, Sconiers tells me he wont need to be.Fury in 10 for me.

Come on man, what does it take to please you? The winner will clearly be one of the top two in the world, both unbeaten giants. Its a good fight. Not too many of them at heavyweight these days.

Dude it’s just an Ok/good fight, nothing more. Sorry dude but fact is heavyweight boxing is just not good. Add to the fact that Wilder has a shhhty personality and zero charisma and Fury being the constant goofball, and with that together you get a straight up shhht press conference.

They tried super hard to turn that press conference into a mega event and it straight up failed. With all that echoing when they talked and nobody there just ***d up their very needed vibe.

Sorry but I ain’t buying this fight, it not PPV worthy.
