Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury Drops Deontay Wilder Twice, Stops Him in Seven

[SN!PER]

So here's something interesting, they opened even money but now Wilder is at -130 and Fury +110 in Vegas. Bettors are favoring Wilder a bit. It's a small margin, but not what I expected.

I wasn't tracking the betting line, but my guess is that people thought Wilder looked better at the weigh in than Fury did. It could also be that people are skeptical whether Fury can get a decision.

A lot of us thought Fury was bluffing about being the aggressor. Now that he's weighed in at 273, we see that he's gonna make good on his promise to bully Wilder.

Fury isn't a natural aggressor, so it's difficult to see how he can win this.

And even if he does revert to boxing, it's gonna be hard for him to keep slipping and ducking punches for 12 full rounds at that weight.

Almost voted too close to call in some ways. It's a good match. But the unknown factors here are off the scale.
Will the added weight to Fury hinder his boxing ability? Will Wilder find the sweet spot with the right earlier rather than later?
Will Fury's weight add to punch power or reduce his ability to execute it? Has Wilder adjusted to Fury to enable him to land sooner and more frequently.
Overall really good match.
Pushed for a verdict though.....Fury on points.

The poll seems to be dead even.

Can't wait for tonight!

One of the few fights where I have no clue who will win. Haven't felt that in a while.

Tough fight to predict, but I'm going with Wilder landing the big stuff and ending it.

Fury has made a big mistake. Even if he increases his power it's still only going to be that of a normal Heavyweight.

Also he's changed his trainer +approach. It's all too much for him. He should be making changes before he fights his usual low-ranked bums not straight before he fights you.

For me it's easy - it's Wilder by KO within 8 rounds.. Only way you can think Fury is going to win is if you believe his bs. Which no one should anymore...
