    Wilder v Fury

    Fight is this Saturday in LA Staples centre

    Apparently ticket sales have been poor, not selling due to the high price and that neither name is a draw in the states.

    At first Wilder predicted there would be over a million PPV buys but even half that would be a big success it will probably do much less.

    I like this fight because it’s tough to predict, a real 50/50 of sorts. Most are going either Wilder KO or Fury decision, I’m leaning toward Wilder getting the decision after Fury outboxes him most of the fight.

    There’s an American ref, and judges are Mexican, Canadian and British so think any close rounds will go in the American’s favour even when those wild windmills hit gloves judges may be swayed by the crowd cheers.

    Boxing is more popular than ever in other parts of the world, just not in America it seems.

    Since Tyson and Don King dropped off now all you’ve got to cheer for is a ginger Mexican so no surprise it’s dead.

    If Fury or Wilder fought Joshua in the UK it would break records.

    Americans only enjoy sports which they're good at.

    UK is the new home of boxing


    Sadly though I think Wilder wins this one. Fury has just been too inactive.


    Looking forward to this. Just a bit sad it isn't Joshua/Wilder

    Joshua Wilder isn’t happening anytime soon, Barry Hearn said recently that Wilder’s team wanted the fight this year, whereas the Hearns / Joshua are thinking two years down the line.

    Doesn’t make business sense to have Joshua fight Wilder yet when he can rinse a few more stadium fights

    Whyte rematch locked on for April if he beats Chisora, plenty of other options elsewhere to make big money whereas Wilder needs Joshua or else it’s back to filling small Hall shows on Alabama.

    If he loses to Fury the Joshua fight won’t be on the cards anymore as Wilder could brutally KO Joshua which would hurt his rep, whereas the Fury fight will always be on as a big domestic fight because he has the excuse of losing ten stone and not being fight fit whilst posing minimal chance of KO’ing him.

    Wilder has a rematch clause with Fury, so that's the only thing which will prevent the unification fight with Joshua IMO

    If Wilder wins then the AJ fight happens next. It just has to.

    Probably because the rest of the world is dumb enough to believe boxing is legitimate.

    Team Fury walk the streets of LA asking randoms if they’ve heard of Wilder



    Asks 20 and two had heard of him.

    Fury KO is least likely outcome but would be good to see Wilder get flattened.

    So I looked at this fight last night and did some tape watching on both fighters.... ugly stuff really the HW division is sad.
    I mean sure they are both big and have power so there is that but technically I give Fury the edge, Wilder is a wild swinger but does set up his 2 nicely with a solid jab. After that its hammer fist/ wild swinging. Opens himself up badly at times.

    Fury more technical but not as good of an athlete so it just doesn't look as fluid.

    Its really a 50/50 or who goofs up first with a rookie mistake and gets hit due to it.

    Then I looked at Joshua and was impressed then his last few fights and went meeeehhhhhhhh another great athlete, great power, show boats too much, runs out of steam and again technically not great.

    Joshua still edges both out but man its like a 8 vs a 6.5.

    Heavyweight boxing isn't dead but if you killed 3 men it would be.
