Anyone got any strong feelings tonight?
I've backed Wilder to win by knockout ... I just don't think two laughable fights in 30 months is good enough preparation for a fight with an active champion... and a guy that can really dig too.

Two nasty pieces of humanity. They're welcome to each other.

Re: Fury v Wilder
I was distinctly unimpressed by Wilder against Ortiz when he really could have been beaten.
Fury is a clever boxer but I reckon he caught VK on his worst ever day so got a bit lucky and is also over-rated.
I’ll go Fury because I think he can frustrate the fuck out of any opponent with spoiling tactics and is clever enough to avoid / prevent haymakers.

Re: Fury v Wilder
Utter bollocks decision. Fury schooled Wilder for the majority of the fight and despite the knockdowns clearly won.

Re: Fury v Wilder
I've not seen the fight but your view seems fairly consistent with most.
I'm sure there will be a rematch - and I'm sure that Fury will be favourite for that.
Then, hopefully, sometime in the summer/autumn the winner of that will get to fight Joshua.

Re: Fury v Wilder
I saw it. Fury was hilarious at times and you have to admire his sheer insouciance at such an occasion

Re: Fury v Wilder
Fury rising from the dead in the last round was a bit of a goosebump moment.
He was seemingly out cold. Then on the count of 6, sat up, beat the count and (apart from the knock down) won the round. Amazing.

I have seen that. Give him his due, that took some bollocks to do that.

Re: Fury v Wilder
I'm surprised this is being called as an obvious injustice to be honest. I've only seen the highlights but it looked like Wilder had Fury in greater trouble than Fury had Wilder.

Re: Fury v Wilder
He did.
On 2 occasions that lasted about 20 secs each.
The rest of the fight Fury schooled him.
(I am exaggerating a bit.)
