If I was Wilder I would go all out just to target that eye to make it easier to then plant the big one But I would love Fury to outbox and knock him out exciting times shyte undercard so not worth staying up but knowing me I wont be able to bloody sleep Im like a child I get too excited lol

Agree about the eye Jeff, terrible injury. I hope it holds out.
Same as me, I definitely want him to win but I believe this could easily go either way  
Telll you what is amazing, the width of Wilders stance when you watch him, likes to be planted and ready to unload, reckon Fury should try a leg sweep!

will be interesting to see what the effect the weights have here, I'd like to see fury still sharp and fit at the weight, fight disciplined, wilder was looking pretty gassed at the end of the last fight, I'm hoping he struggles to carry the weight and tires late and fury stops him!

Fury has got two major weaknesses , suffered a career stopping cut in the worst place possible in his last fight,l would be surprised if that does,nt open up , And he takes stupid chances when he should,nt , drops his hands sticks his tongue out and showboats something you dont want to do when your facing a bloke with a sledgehammer of a punch ,
Most people think fury cant punch he certainly can ! He has an unbelievable powerful jab ,I hope he can do it he will be nearly 3 1/2 stone heavier than wilder come fight time , I just cant see him avoiding wilders power punch , I hope he proves me wrong .

Well, the weigh in is up and no face off
Fury, 3 stone weight advantage and is adamant he will stop Wilder in the second
Wilder heaviest to date so it looks like both men are going for the KO 
I'm going to go with Fury. He took the last fight after a long lay off, I expect him to be a completely different animal now, great shape and I am confident he can go the distance if need be as well as put Wilder down
Wilder, world class puncher, not boxer, Fury beats him easily in this comparison. Wilder, wide stance looking to land that bomb when they step in. Said it before, MIke Tyson was made for him, inside, close and out with him. For me Fury has to ruff him up on the inside, put him on the back foot and close those feet, lay on him and sap his energy and this is one of Wilders major weaknesses for me. He looks in great shape as always but he has definitely not got the engine for a full distance pressure fight for me, all the fights are fought at his pace so that one area to take advantage, press him, close the feet, can't land the bomb and lay on him. At range Fury out boxes him. In the last fight it was an error by Fury that cost him, he dominated that fight.
Heavyweight boxing, anything can happen, could be over in one, Fury needs to be careful on the way in, hold onto your seats, I can't wait for this 
Somebody's O has got to go

I think that is part of the programme on tv, i have been lucky enough to have been around fury since he was a young lad , he was and is a very talented boxer , certainly the most talented british heavyweight we have had for some years, Lennox was the best i have seen close up but i have never classed him as british as he represented canada as an amateur.The problem with fury is everything that comes with him , saying that most top boxers and indeed top sportsmen have their demons , I hope he can defeat wilder but my head says he will get knocked out , joshua will only fight wilder when and if he has to because his defence is so poor he would,nt stand a chance.

Another good watch
What that man came back from and what he did should never be forgotten for me, a truly amazing story
I think Wilder thought it would be another bum on the record. To date for me, he has fought nobody really convincing, Ortiz been the best after Fury, who with all due respect is a good boxer but well passed his prime. Still, you can only fight what's around you and other than Fury I don't think we an in an era blessed with true heavyweight talent. Joshua proved to me what I already knew and the same will happen again if he fights Fury or Wilder, unless Hearn waits until Wilder is around 70
