After that long layoff you have to think Fury will be even better in the return.
I'm not sure what Wilder can do to improve against Fury.
I fancy Fury for the rematch but good on Wilder for taking the fight.
I think they both learned something from the first fight. Wilder needs to be more patient and find a way to get inside Fury's jab. Fury now knows to not take chances. I favor Fury but give Wilder a good chance based on punching power. If Wilder doesn't KO Fury he loses by a not so close decision.
Disgusting duck by Wilder, Unification should trump any other fight, including the "lineal" championship (which IMO Fury lost when caught taking PEDS)
Wilder knows the first Fury fight was cherry pick gone wrong and now he's using selective fan pressure to hang his hope entirely on one last swing at fury under the guise of unfinished business.... He caught him once, he thinks (and prays) he may again....
Rather that than the AJ embarrassment that would of ensued..
AND NOW AJ offers 40% and on Wilder's home soil
and his fans still defend him
I predict AJ FURY, the men with BALLS for the unification about Sept/Oct time
Disgusting Duck? The only disgusting duck was last fall when AJ turned down a guaranteed $50 plus $30 mil for the rematch, plus PPV shares.
They thumbed their nose at Wilder, walked away from negotiations, and fought the URGENT mandatory Povetkin.
Anything since that is only damage control. Only a few nuthuggers left to defend AJ. AJ has lost his A side. 50-50 split fight with the winner of Fury/Wilder.
"I think 100% it's going to be done, it's just a matter of time. It's not if it happens, it's when it happens and we are looking at late April or early May," Wilder told the BBC.
Reports are this fight is going to Barclays in Brooklyn on either April 27 or May 18. You now have a very crowded schedule with Crawford/Khan on April 20 also on PPV and also in NY. You then have Canelo/Jacobs on May 5. You now how Joshua agreeing to fight Miller also in NY on either June 1 or June 8. And you have reports GGG wants to fight in the Spring and close to signing with DAZN. 3 of these fights are already in NY. I wondering if all these fights particular in NY eat into each other's business. Specifically Crawford/Khan which right now is hands down the WORST fight but yet PPV when 3 of these fights could be on DAZN for $9.99. Arum should have Crawford fake another injury to move the date/venue.
Naw arum needs the excuse that Haymon sabotaged his PPV even though we all know it wasn’t going to sell well to begin with
