Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury II - 22 February 2020

[ewenhay]

It will be exactly the same fight again.

Fury will do enough to nick rounds and Wilder will wait to land the big one.

[Coco]

Wilder won't be able to hit him harder than before, Fury will be in better shape, barring cuts it will be the same again without the knockdowns.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Wilder won't be able to hit him harder than before, Fury will be in better shape, barring cuts it will be the same again without the knockdowns.

Wilder never caught Fury clean. Not as clean as he’s caught other opponents.

The ref is gonna play a very big part in this fight.

I doubt it’ll be Reiss again.

The second shot was pretty clean

He was superficially in 'better shape' against Otter last time out and looked dreadful, if he shows up like that against Wilder he's getting sparked.

Wilder was too light last time and he's planning on coming in heavier in February, that could be another significant factor.

Nah. It wasn't. I've watched it a dozen times and it just wasn't that Breazeale; Ortiz; Szpilka type of shot.

Is coming in heavier against a mover like Fury a good thing?

And did someone say that Fury wasn't caught clean???????

Rarely have a seen a heavy get hit harder

Yeh. Fury was already moving backwards the way the punch was heading towards him.

[Shuffle Demon]

Yeh. Fury was already moving backwards the way the punch was heading towards him.

I agree was nothing like the Breezy or Ortiz 2 finishers

[Shuffle Demon]

Is coming in heavier against a mover like Fury a good thing?

He wasn't much of a mover against Otter, he's getting banged out in Feb (unless he pulls out of course, which won't surprise anyone)

[Winter king]

What Fury could improve on is working Wilder inside. He is better at it and stronger physically. Wilder didnt adjust anything and he wont. If you take his range away he is significantley less dangerous. Also Fury used to work the body pretty well. Has some nice body shot kos should also do that.

[KiwiRider]

The ref is gonna play a very big part in this fight.

I doubt it’ll be Reiss again.

Kenny "fondle fingers" Bayless

[Ruthless-RKO]

People actually think Fury will stop Wilder?

[Ruthless-RKO]

Guess what??

Wrank Farren has just stated that Wilder-Fury 3 will take palce in Summer of 2020.

Arum: Wilder-Fury 2 Should Gross 2 Million PPV Buys, $100M

The second installment of the heavyweight clash between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury on Feb. 22 is projecting for lofty—if not record—figures, according to the principals involved in the mega rematch.

“I would be disappointed if the pay-per-view was less than two million buys,” Top Rank head Bob Arum told BS.com in an interview. “That’s the goal and estimation. I think it’s doable and PBC [head Al Haymon] thinks it’s doable, and we’re pulling off all of the stops to reach that number, or exceed it.”

The first fight between the WBC champion Wilder (42-0-1, 41 KOs) and the lineal champion Fury (29-0-1, 20 KOs), a disputed draw, yielded a reported 325,000 pay-per-view buys. The match took place through Showtime distribution in December 2018. The ESPN and FOX co-distributed rematch is slated to take place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

In a separate interview with CNBC, the 88-year-old Arum said the event should make “well in excess of $100 million.”

Arum’s $100 million goal would compete with the Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis fight in 2002, which made $110 million (1.97 million PPV buys), and the 1997 rematch between Tyson and Evander Holyfield at $100 million (1.99 million PPV buys) as the highest-grossing heavyweight fight of all time.

“Wilder-Fury 2 has the same kind of legs as Pacquiao-Mayweather, or Mayweather-McGregor,” said Arum. “We have two enormous megaphones in ESPN and FOX talking about the fight, and incentivizing the public to buy it.”

Arum and Haymon are planning to leverage the platform Super Bowl 54 presents, which takes place Feb. 2 on FOX, to further ramp up the multi-channel promotion for the fight.

In 2020 and moving forward, Arum and Haymon will be better in doing business together, and Wilder-Fury will dictate just how much they’re willing to play ball in the future.

“We’ve had meetings and laid out plans for the [Wilder-Fury 2] promotion, but I’m not going to betray what happened at the meetings,” said Arum. “Everything is good, but the announcements will come when they’re ready. If we debriefed the press on our meetings and what was decided, they would look at it as an act of bad faith, and they would be right. They have a policy of not talking to the press and making announcements when they’re ready. I’m not saying it’s right or wrong, but I’ll go along with it. All I’ll say is everything is on board and going full speed ahead.”

[funso banjo baby]

its a tough one.

the champion has to produce something different this time. The possible probs with training may have an effect.

The challenger has that KO punch at any period in the fight.

can either change their game...and will they want to?

I think poss Wilder will claim the world title with a late stoppage maybe round 8-9 but Tyson has a chance if he can keep up the incredible work rate and mobility he showed in his first fight.

I didn't see an incredible work rate.
Neither threw much at all

[funso banjo baby]

his mobility and head movement was good.
he did a good job of not presenting Wilder with too much to hit ... until the last round

but i think we will def get more action in the rematch

[dr_devious]

More action would probably mean bad news for Fury.

Top Rank Press Release

The long-awaited rematch of heavyweight titans is set, as undefeated WBC champion Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder and unbeaten lineal champion Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury will continue their rivalry in the ring on Saturday, February 22 live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas in a historic, joint FOX Sports PPV & ESPN+ PPV.

Tickets are on sale tomorrow, Saturday, December 28 at 10 a.m. PT and can be purchased at www.mgmgrand.com or www.axs.com. The event is promoted by BombZquad Promotions, TGB Promotions, Top Rank and allegedly’s Queensberry Promotions. A Premier Boxing Champions presentation.

“I’m happy and I’m excited that the rematch is finally happening,” said Wilder. “I want to give the fans what they want to see. I’ve been doing it with my last three outings – Fury, Breazeale and Ortiz. They’ve been spectacular events – from my ring walks where I gather all the energy of the people, to my uniforms that I wear to help spread that energy. Then I give them what they all come for – the knockouts, and my knockouts have been amazing. I proved myself the first time and I’m ready to do it again. It was a very controversial fight. I promise my fans that there won’t be any controversy with this one. I’m going to finish it.”

“There’s no more ducking and diving,” said Fury. “The date has been set, and the ‘Bomb Squad’ is about to be securely detonated and the real champion crowned as the world watches on for the most anticipated fight in years. This is unfinished business for me, but come February 22, this dosser will finally get what’s coming to him, and I can’t wait!”

Wilder vs. Fury II has been highly anticipated since their first meeting, when Wilder retained his title via split draw after Fury miraculously rose from a 12th-round knockdown to finish the fight. It is one of the most memorable moments in heavyweight history and has raised the historical stakes heading into the rematch February 22.

Bad time of year for Fury though. He’s bound to get fat at Christmas. Loves cake too much!
