Dont rate the current heavyweight division but this is an intriguing one. I believe a fully fight fit Fury would edge this on points. However i think inactivity will cost him and think Wilder will at some point land the big shot.
Wildet TKO 9 i go for.
Really hope Fury wins though. All credit for taking this fight. Joshua and Hearn should be embarrassed but they are happy fooling the public with punch bag opposition.
Whoever wins tonight is the number one in the division.
Cmon Fury.
Fury wins it for me.
Bit of a strange this one for me. I certainly didn't expect Fury to beat Klitchko all those years ago and I am sure if they had a rematch there would have been a different result. Therefore I'm not sure how good Fury is he is certainly awkward and his size makes him much harder to fight.
Wilder is a bit of a slugger . Fury moves well for a big man and if he can take the punches then I think fury wins.
Think it will be an ugly fight. I wouldn't be surprised to see a rematch as they cut AJ out of a big money fight.
Fury has got right under Wilders skin. I think he’s trying to entice him to a fight. Fury saying he is going to knock him out etc but I think he’s going to try out box him. Maybe even rope-a-dope style.
I think Klitchko was just exposed. A robotic big heavyweight good at what he does. I thought hed beat Fury but he was beaten easily really. Fury had his number.Quote:

On sky bet you'll get 20/1 for Fury to be ahead on all 3 cards and Wilder to win in rounds 6-12Quote:

Be nice to see the Brit do it as he's grown on me but I don't see the American losing in his own backyard.
TF beating Klitchko was a surprise but this is another level again.
Two sayings come to mind, "never bet on the white guy" and "you've gotta knock the guy out to get a draw in the States"
Hope I'm wrong as it would be one helluva comeback.
Wow. Just wow!
:yikes:
That was awesome. A draw is a fair decision. Fury's post-fight speech made me laugh out loud.
Great fight
Fury wins that if its in the UK.
Should have got the decision.
Re match will be huge.
They should take Eddie Hearns April Wembley booking.
Well, that was better than I expected. I thought is was all over after the knockdown, but fair play to Fury for getting up after that.
Joke decision really, I had WIlder winning one other round apart from the knockdown 10-8's.
First judge had him winning without the knockdowns ffs.
How Fury got up from the second though, I have no idea.
The judge who gave that by 4 points to Wilder needs looking at. Shocking score.
With the 2 knockdowns its closer but Furys unlucky tonight. Saying that i thought he was out.

How fury got up though. What a warrior.
Fury should be champion.
4-0 :hehe:Quote:

How can three “experts” arrive at three different decisions watching the same fight.
Thank god these guys aren’t looking at VAR!
Fury is another one to add to the list of boxers who have gone to the States and beaten America's best only to be robbed by a bent judge.
As long as the money is available the yank will always have the edge.
They don't give up their Boxing titles easily, especially in the heavyweight division.
Tyson Fury should be world champion today, SPOTY, and have earned his place in British boxing folklore but just one mistake gave the ammunition needed for the farce to be complete.
It's all very well saying that he'd been knocked down twice so perhaps Wilder deserved something but rules is rules. The two knockdown rounds he wins by 2 points but the rest, bar maybe one, were Fury's.
Loved the interviews at the end where Fury got what he wanted to say in there masked by a lot of humour.
Best heavyweight fight I've seen for many years (since Holyfield beat Tyson?). Such a courageous guy getting up after that punch.
Please let that happen!Quote:

Hearns quoted as saying thats why Joshua didnt accept 50m to get robbed by US judges.
Pathetic.
Never mind mugs will still fall for it and watch him fight the winner of chisora whyte.
That one scorecard was a joke, especially for the first 4 or 5 rounds
In recent years though there have been plenty of terrible home decisions on british soil as well
Middle judges card is wrong. Wilder got 112 points not 110. Imagine if that 2 point error had swung the decision. How can you get some simple maths wrong like that in 2018??? LaughableQuote:

I had Fury winning by 2. You could make a case for Wilder winning the first maybe (all 3 judges scored that round to Wilder) and there’s a middle round (6th I think it was) when Fury took a round off.
The judge who had Wilder 4up after 4 rounds should never work on boxing again.
Some people on this thread need to learn the rules of boxing 🙈
Same as you, i had Fury winning 7-5. How he got up from that knock down in the 12th is beyond me, the first knockdown he was pissing about. I thought that it was a great fight, Fury out boxed him for the biggest part and wilder didn't show any skill, just that huge right hand, that's all he's got, although it works!Quote:
