Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury - 1 December 2018

[Oiky]

That right is a danger, but the more threat involved and the better the opponent is, tyson is more switched on and fights better Wilder is in for an awkward fight he won't be able to get a foothold in, and a boxing lesson

[tobyh5]

Amazed that not a single person has gone with Wilder winning by decision.

People often with go with what seems logical in a fight like this - that one guy has (believed to have) such superior skills to the other guy who has (believed to have) much more superior power and so either the first guy wins by points or second guy by KO.

Often forgetting that if they think the powerful guy will hit far too hard and catch the other guy, that there is a chance he does so but the superior boxer may be sturdy enough to take it, may go in his shell, may take a bit of a beating and thus be negated and thus lose on points.

Wilder could very easily outpoint Fury.

without going back and watching it, did wilder atually start that fast vs stiverne, like as in coming out to get him, or did he just so happen to hurt him early, and thus an early wildmilling ensued

He did hurt him.. Don;t think he came out too fast. Also, Stiverne was just hold his hands up ready to be hit.. Fury will at least move, back-peddle, be awkward..

Very little advertising for this here. With the college championship games, two UFC ppvs this month and the $90 price tag I'm expecting this to bomb. Going to give Eddie a lot of excuses not to fight wilder.

It’s definitely possible, but it’s the least likely outcome by quite some distance imo. I can understand why no-one has voted for it.

[MightyWarrior]

I can’t see wilder winning on points, simply because if he hits Fury enough times, he’s knocking him out.

Tempted to say wilder is nothing special, but his right hand power makes him special, and he has improved a hell of a lot since the wild swinging novice we were watching not too long ago.

And the near universal opinion that he has a glass chin has faded as well, due to taking those shots against Ortiz.

These are two very cautious fighters, so it could be five or six rounds of fencing, and while Fury is a relatively featherfisted puncher, if he did actually land on Wilders chin he could actually hurt him.

But Fury’s prep being so poor makes the American a comfortable favourite.

And yet how many of us predicting the American wins this easy, also predicted Fury was getting whacked against Wladimir ? I know I gave him no chance in Germany,

Based on the poll, NO ONE can see Wilder on points.

Ah yes I seem to be arguing with myself

TYSON FURY PLEDGES TO GIVE £8M PRIZE MONEY TO THE HOMELESS

Tyson Fury has made an incredible pledge to donate his pay cheque for his upcoming fight against Deontay Wilder to the poor.

Undefeated heavyweight Fury reportedly stands to make £8m from the WBC title challenge against the American Deontay Wilder, who also holds an unblemished record.

Fury, 30, has claimed that he intends to give away that pot while speaking as the build-up to the December 1 bout gains pace.

"I'm going to give it to the poor and I'm going to build homes for the homeless,” he said.
"I don't really have much use for it, I'm not interested in becoming a millionaire or a billionaire. I'm a boxer not a businessman and I'll probably go down the same route as every other boxer - skint at the end of it all. You can't take it with you, so I might as well do something with it and help out people who can't help themselves."

While most people may be content to tuck away any excess earnings away for future generations, Fury thinks differently. His four kids Valencia Amber, Prince John James, Venezuela, and Prince Tyson Fury II are soon to be joined by another as his wife Paris is pregnant and won’t be relying on their old man for a few quid in years to come, or so he says.

"I believe all kids should make their own money in life because if they don't, they won't appreciate it.
"You see many of these rich people's kids doing nothing because they had it too easy. I never had it easy, I had to work for whatever I got. I was working from very young, everything I wanted in life I had to work for."

Good on him if he actually means it .

I, for one, don't expect any thing of the sort.

[Onetimeonly]

Sounds like prep for people saying he was just there for the payday after he gets eviscerated with ease.

[Ruthless-RKO]

To be fair, he does think like this.

I think he's 100% straight up.

[jamamb]

fury is a guy who just these type of things come to his head and he says them, but then i wonder if he even remembers a week later

i wonder if he will build these houses while working as a doctor?

[Boxerbeetle]

He has 2 kids both named Prince? Must be confusing

[Ruthless-RKO]

Maybe he just called then John and Tyson

If Fury is going to pull this off then I think a stoppage is way more likely.

Wilder isnt going to be happy to sit back and be outboxed like Vlad, he’s gonna come in wild and loose his shape and Fury can walk him onto something.

I think if Fury can ride out the first 3 without inflicting damage, and that’s a big if, then it’s his fight.

Don't think Fury possess enough power with a single shot even if he does walk him onto something .

He'll be hoping for a messy points win .

Was just driving home and I seen a poster. One full sized poster covering both sides of a window on a bus stop.

BT getting the fight out.

[jamamb]

id actually forgotten its happening in less then a week, tbh im not as excited as id hoped

I can't really blame you. The undercard is full of names fighting no names and the main event has been done to death.
Of course we want to know who wins, and we still think it could be off until both actually step in the ring.
All that aside, it is the biggest HW fight since Wlad Vs AJ.
