Classic puncher v boxer and very difficult to predict with any certainty who will win. Fury is saying hes going for the knock out this time but I cant see it being any different to the first fight where he will outbox wilder for the vast majority of the fight. Wilder has a good chin and Fury is not renowned for his power.
Can Fury avoid that right hand for 12 rounds this time? Caught twice last time but he is in much better shape and has extra fights under his belt this time. He had a really bad cut to his eye in his last fight so wilder will likely target that. Im going for a Fury points win but wont be putting any money on it.
Hope Fury can do it. Hes a great character and nobody deserves it more.

Id love to see Fury win, but that Wilder power is a threat, every second of every round. Fury has a plan and if he can't avoid that right hand, he's going down again. BUT he is slightly more battle hardened now, that cut will be healed by now, unless they clash I don't see it being an issue.
Really on a knife edge tbh, if Wilder can't connect with him, then he's going to get a schooling. But if he does, it could be all over.

Yeah. Lost interest in anything Kell Brook does tbh. Spent most of his career waiting on a fight that never happened v Khan and fought a load of journeymen to fill the time. Should have called it a day after being dismantled by GGG.

Eddie Hearn talking bollocks as usual.
"Anthony Joshua is not a 15 stone Deontay Wilder that can punch a bit?."
Slates Deontay Wilder for having no desire, but completely forgets Joshua at MSG in the first Ruiz fight. Absolutely no self awareness. Oh, For the record. I reckon Wilder takes both AJ and Dillian Whyte's head off, I'm pretty sure of that.

Fury-Wilder 3 in July according to Bob Arum. Not ideal.
Not ideal at all. Is anyone really interested in seeing them go a third time? Fury has absolutely schooled him over 2 fights and a third one just seems pretty pointless. Probably means at least another year before we see Fury v Joshua.
