    We will hear a lot of nonsense in the build-up, But probably still a mis-match
    Hilarious that Wilders only chance is for Fury is to show up tooo out of shape to compete at a high enough level

  • Wilder wins this fight big unless he has been used up mentally from loss. Fury should get credit for getting up when knocked down but thats it. Probably the most useless heavyweight so called champion ever. Wouldn’t have gone 3 rounds with Tim Witherspoon.

    • Absolute nonsense. Fury made Klitchko look ordinary when nobody could defeat him. He humiliated Wilder who only has power but zero boxing skills. Klitchko can beat Wilder in retirement .
      Your comment on Fury is shameful.

    • This is one of the most off base analysis Ive ever read on this site. You may not like Fury. He looks like 300 lbs of chewed bubble gum but he’s enormously huge, moves incredibly well, deceptively fast hands, excellent stamina, good chin, doesn’t panic, and awkward AF. Other than Wilders booming right hand there isnt a SINGLE thing that Fury doesn’t do better.

      Witherspoon was an excellent heavyweight but the only person he’d take out in 3 would be Wilder.

    • Tim, nice joke!!
      Its obvious you’re a biased fan and you didnt watch the beating Wilder took in the last 2 fights. This will probably be the worst ending for Wilder and his retirement.
      Wilder should get sponsorship from his pillow, since he will be put to sleep permanently.

  • Does anyone else find it rather strange the buildup to the fight and the fight itself are happening in little less than a month and a half? Can’t help but think this was the plan all long with Fury-Joshua to happen later this year (provided Joshua gets past Usyk, which is by no means a foregone conclusion).

    • I agree. I seems like a rush-job to me. Just trying to get Bigmouth out of the way? Or some other business variable that’s not being explained?

  • At the end of the day, boxing is a business. All fights have a build-up, trash talk, and conjecture to do one thing; sell tickets. This fight is no different than the rest of them… So, quit complaining, you know you want to see it…..LOL

  • I got Fury stopping Wilder inside of 7 or 8 rounds and will have beaten Wilder three times!

  • In that second fight, Fury just came forward while stuffing that jab, and Wilder had no idea whatsoever how to deal with it. He couldn’t seem to counter it at all, probably because of Fury’s reach and decent hand speed. If Wilder has found a way to deal with it since, Fury can just always resort to boxing, which he did well in the first fight. Hard to see this going Wilder’s way, but he does have tremendous power. Was looking forward to Fury-Joshua, but definitely don’t have a problem with this fight. Fury’s conditioning/focus is the wildcard here.

  • Only a fool will count our Wilder. He is still in this fight. No one knows the impact [ both fights have had in ] positive or negative until [ Wilder himself, in the third fight ] tells us. It’s so easy to type baseless words on here.

    • I totally agree. I think Fury’s dominance in the first fight is overestimated and Wilder has scene the second version already so that won’t be so way to repeat.

    • You are right but I just think Fury had completely got Wilders style worked out. His power only got anywhere very late the first fight & was not even an issue in the second fight. I expect a Fury points win. Fighters get to know each other over 3 fights. In my opinion Wilder will be happy to survive & lose. He was made to look like a done deal last time.

    • I agree, Wilder is still in this fight. Wilder is dangerous at any time with that right cross and left hook. Wilder may have limited boxing skills, but that one powerful shot he can throw can switch things up in a hurry. Boxing is a forgiving sport where a puncher can win just as easily as a slick boxer. It’s up to each opponent to figure out how to execute the plan for victory.

    • Until the actual fight results, nearly everything that’s typed is but conjecture and opinion — some well-based, some not. If it’s all just “baseless words, ” as you say, should we all just shut our mouths and leave the pontifications to the “experts?”

  • Only way that racist POS Wilder wins this fight is if Fury shows up metally out of shape because he takes this fight to lightly. The wildcard here is Fury’s mind… Let’s hope he stays focused so we can get AJ-Fury later this year and Wilder can sail of into the sunset.. Good ridence

    • Say what you will about Wilder as a fighter, but how is he a racist POS? I’ve never heard of him saying anything that could be construed as racist. He takes a strong pro black stance, but that doesn’t make him a racist.

      • Most of those who are demonstrably “pro-black” aren’t too keen on other ethnicities, — and especially Caucasians. Besides, to describe any any individual as “pro-Black” suggests the strong likelihood of being in sympathy with the terrorist group BLM — a thuggish organization based in Marxist ideology. I’m not saying that Wilder fits this mold, but…..

  • I pick Fury to win by TKO.

    I doubt if Wilder will get rid of his amateur type boxing style against a much heavier, unorthodox Fury. A properly trained Fury (with minimal outside drama or no outside drama) will take away Wilder’s right hand by using upper body movements; jabs; pressure; size; and combination punching. I see another mentally frustrating experience for Wilder.

    After Wilder gets defeated by TKO, will he use another excuse or simply retire quietly…we will see.

  • Looking forward to this. Anything can happen, matters which Wilder or which Fury turns up.

  • Fury will dominate this fight. Wilder will come in timid n fight a survivor’s fight. Holding n trying to smother Fury’s punches. In an ugly fight Fury stops Wilder 8 rounds. And of course Wilder complaining about the stoppage.

  • I have a weird feeling that those who pay for this will witness the 2021 Upset Of The Year.

    I have a weird feeling that Wilder will knock out Fury late in the fight, and Wilder will show a vast boxing IQ improvement.

      • “all the Sun”.
        – I think that you meant to say: “all of a sudden”
        Take care.

  • There’s been a lot of footage of Wilder training, but what has Tyson Fury been doing? Just because one doesn’t post their training sessions all over social media doesn’t mean they’re not training, but with Tyson Fury, you never know. The only way Wilder wins is if Fury comes in unprepared…This is a fight I definitely want to see

  • The notion that some of you have that Wilder can only win if Fury is unprepared is ridiculous and at the same time biased. When Wilder said there were things that affected his performance last time out, he got lambasted for it, but excuses only applies to Fury I suppose. So, if Fury comes in prepared, and he get’s knocked out by Wilder, will the reason still be that he was unprepared?

    • @DMV – That’s a lot of ifs! If Fury comes in prepared and gets KO’d, no, the reason wouldn’t be because he was unprepared, because we already established that he was prepared. If he were anything like Wilder, he would use that as an excuse though. The bias you speak of isn’t pulled out of thin air; it’s based on the fact Fury so thoroughly outboxed and destroyed Wilder in their last fight. He outboxed him in the first fight as well.

  • “Feinting Fury” I believe will win again, either a distance win or a late round TKO victory. With a 2nd loss, Wilders career will take a major blow.

  • Fury in same fashion as the 2nd contest. When the bigger man is the better boxer there’s no need to go crazy for this one. The only reason the 1st fight was so close was due to Fury giving Wilder too much room. He corrected his behavior in the 2nd and blew Wilder out.

  • Wilder’s best chance to win will be to be aggressive and land the right at all costs. We know Wilder can reach Fury and hurt him. His right hand makes him even money against anybody. BUT my guess is Wilder is going to try and improve his boxing which will only result in less things working for him and then becoming apprehensive and falling apart faster.

    So will Wilder try to change his style or will he stick with what worked for the first 42 fights of his career? And will Fury be focused mentally and physically?

  • I’ve watched Tyson fury’s whole boxing pro career. He’s never busted someone up that bad ever. It’s very suspicious how his gloves bent at 90 degrees?? And he was hitting Wilder with some very clean shots in the first fight. He didn’t hurt wilder not once. But second fight he look like he had George Forman and Mike Tyson power WILDER WINS KO

  • The big unknown factor is whether or not Wilder tires himself out before the fight even starts by doing his ring walk wearing a goofy costume. He did say that’s the only reason he lost the last one.
