I have a feeling Fury is going to try to walk Wilder down

[sunny31]

Dangerous strategy for obvious reasons, but Wilder is a long puncher, the real danger is on the end of his punches.

I think Fury might try and surprise Wilder and come forward, push him back, pressure him, lean on him, and try and wear him down. He will need good head movement (which he has) and I don't think it's something he can't do.

I know it sounds counter-intuitive but I also don't think you can sit on the outside with Wilder for 12 rounds, it's too predictable and he'll get the measure of you at some stage and detonate.

Anyway we'll find out in 24 hours or so

Fury will be sticking out his long arm and ducking and dipping. Eventually he will get hit with a sledgehammer and die.

I highly doubt it. That type of fight favors Wilder.

And if Fury can't get Wilder's respect early then the end comes in the middle rounds.

Yup! Exactly. Nothing more needs to be said.

Wilder win by stoppage rounds 7-9 is the winning bet. Pays +450.

Walking down a guy who has KOed everyone he ever fought doesn't sound like the best battle plan to me. Fury could walk himself into a straight right or a left hook and certainly some stiff jabs. Wilder could use his fast hard jab to keep enough distance to throw his bomb of a straight right. Not all of Wilder's punches are wide loopers. He can throw the right as straight as a arrow and one of those straight rights has ended many of his fights early.

That would actually be the smartest strategy imo. Use that weight advantage.

[Earl-Hickey]

Op is actually correct.

Look at Wilders most brutal knockouts, they all come from a long straight right hand.

The safest place to be against Wilder is right on his chest with him pinned to the ropes or in the corner.

Wilder is lanky with long arms, he also can be effective from mid range too.

Furys best bet is to smother Wilder

[Vinnykin]

He won't start off that way but make no mistake.... if he needs to he will and can.

That could happen if, 1, he's losing from the outside or, 2, he is behind in the fight and needs a KO..... barring that he will only lean on him when they tie up and in the clinch until the ref breaks.
