Andre Ward says no rematch for Fury vs Wilder

[Jim Tom]

Wilder will probably chase the Joshua fight and try to make money while the sun shines.

who the fook says anything about a rematch not being big???? i didnt even mention anything about that. #hurtfeelings

You are quoting SOG, so aren't you agreeing with him?

I am simply pointing out that Ward's take is flawed when you consider that this is about money too.

If AJ vs Wilder or AJ vs Fury doesn't happen in April, it will be because once again Eddie Hearn found a way to weasel out of it, most likely by lowball which has been his usual tactic.

Well, why take 15M plus 40% of an AJ fight when you can get 50/50 of a fight as big or bigger?

Ward is ignoring that, thinking Wilder is concerned with protecting himself or cherry picking.

Yet, Wilder is the guy that faced 2 of the most dangerous heavyweights THIS YEAR...the man aint afraid to let the 0 go.

i posted a quote from ward then says "thoughts"?

and even in ward's quote, he never mention anything about a rematch not being big. he says wilder will most likely avoid the rematch.

[Madison Boxing]

Never thought id say it but i agree with ward. I dont think either guy wants a rematch, fury should have won but almost got ko'd whilst wilder escaped with his undefeated record in tact and can also say that ultimately he dropped fury twice. Both can take the draw and move on

The only way I see Wilder not rematching immediately is if he gets a 50/50 type deal to fight AJ in April OR AJ decides he is going to fight Fury next (or, if the WBC forces his mando, which I doubt those greedy bastids will do knowing the bigger fights are there).

Besides AJ, Fury is his best payday and I don't see Wilder ever turning that down.

[Squ□redCircle34]

If there is a rematch I'm putting some money on Fury winning inside the distance.

Not a bad bet, I was thinking Fury by wide points! But it’s still risky bets cuz with that thunderbolt in his right hand, Wilder could be in the same situation except no KD and hit Fury in the 12th and this time end him!

The rematch is so intriguing just like the first one, I really hope AJ finds his marbles and get in on the heavyweight renaissance!

[Holler]

Ward usually talks sense and this is no exception.

Wilder looked bamboozled at the end. I think He'll go elsewhere next.

After this cherry pick gone hideously wrong, Wilder will go back to the devil may care high risk fights with which he made his name.

'Dominic Breazeale please step this way. We're going to need you to walk straight into Mr Wilder's punches if you'd be so kind. Here's your script for the build-up.'

[jaded]

Wilder's camp was not expecting Fury to be anywhere near Saturday night's level otherwise they'd never have given him the fight in the first place so yeah...I don't expect them to try it again knowing Fury would only be sharper and stronger in a rematch.

[MDPopescu]

Thoughts?

Don’t think a rematch will ever happen. Wilder probably won’t want to go through that again. Will take the draw and move on & Fury doesn’t really have to !! Even a draw was a win for him last night the way he performed. Fury v Joshua at Wembley in the summer !! https://t.co/9j4YyiKDgd

... Ward knows where the money is...

[Lion81]

Damnit, I want that immediate rematch.

Fight was awesome and feels unfinished.

If I have to wait, so be it, but they MUST fight again.

Fury will be lineal WBC Heavyweight champion if they fight again. That's my opinion.
