Boxing thread?

Wilder weighed in at 212.5lbs (15 stone 2.5lbs), which is the lightest he's been since his debut and he was wearing trackies, shoes and the fucking mask.

Tyson weighed in at 256.5lbs (18 stone 4.5 lbs) and looks more conditioned than I've seen him in a while.

If this goes into the later rounds, I honestly think Fury should dominate him...one punch can change it all of course, but IMO Deontay is too light.

Fury needs to keep this short imo. Forget distance, operate close to mid range, Wilder does nothing in that space and more importantly he can wear the smaller man down and maul him.

It’s an intriguing fight. Who knows what Fury has left? I agree Wilder looks to be very light, I also think Fury looks weak too. 256lb suggests otherwise but he’s not looking like it’s all good weight.
As I mentioned above, the ‘special beef’ might have been a big factor in the first part of his career. He doesn’t look as strong as he did against Wlad or Cunningham for example.

The Fury camp had actually said that he was heavier than the official weight against Klitschko, regardless, I think he's at a good weight against Wilder...honestly don't think his body fat ratio is a thing, you need a fair bit of muscle to move a body formerly that size and Tyson has never been ripped.

Even against Pianeta, I thought Fury wanted to go to the cards as he wanted the rounds/experience. I actually can't wait for this fight, couple of others on too.

Stevenson is fighting Gvozdyk tonight too, which should be a good fight IMO.

Had a flutter on this...

Intriguing fight this one. Weight loss aplenty to consider. Not forgetting it seems weird to be calling Fury the boxer up against the brawler that is Wilder.

Seen plenty of Wilder wins in the past come from big swinging punches from out wide. A smart boxer who can punch straight and hurt should be enough to stop Wilder. Get drawn into an old fashioned tear up and Wilder is as good as anyone.

 

[Paolo10]

Fury has played the game magnificently since he's been over there...even if he loses, his profile has risen significantly with his interviews and behaviour...if he wins, he's going to be an even bigger star in America. It'll be rightly seen as one of the greatest comebacks.

Wilder just doesn't come across as having much class as a person or as a boxer IMO.

I cant believe i just set an alarm for 4.30am to watch those two ballbags fight.

Yes - what was that with the gimp mask ? It Just looked everso daft & slightly creepy. Either that or some Harley Davidson weirdo.

Maybe it's just that I haven't watched enough boxing?

 

[Paolo10]

The mask 'changes him from Deontay to the Bronze Bomber'.

He's a fucking tool tbh.

Setting the alarm for 4:10am, do the same people. lol Fury pulls this off I bet some of you lot will go mad hehe.
You might wanna check out the All Access Daily Wilder vs Fury Part 4 - warning bad BAD language from Fury.

Who is on the undercard?

No doubt. He’s full of shit. Look at his personal life, numerous kids with numerous women, half of them he doesn’t see etc. Always an indicator of a div imo.
The mask alone makes him a div.

Don’t get me wrong, Fury is full of shit too, but get him away from his absolute scumbag of a father and drug dealing uncle and he’s actually very likeable. I’m amazed he and Hughie turned out how they have given their role models. Credit to them.

Although, I'll try to find the Adonis Stevenson fight at 1:00am-ish.

Would quite like to see Wilder' s brother get a pasting, but that looks a cherry pick for his 3rd fight.

 

[SugarRay]

To be fair, it’s not the greatest undercard you’ll ever see.
Some interesting names but not many 50/50, well, not even any 70/30 fights going off.

 

[Paolo10]

Top 5 are all pretty decent, the minimumweight should be good, Barriga is very talented. Want to get a decent look at Hurd too.

The mask 'changes him from Deontay to the Bronze Bomber'.

But he's dug himself a bit of a hole there - apparently it's NOT Deontay Wilder who wants a body on his record, like he's said over and over and over again, it's the Bronze Bomber who wants the body! So when he says that, he's not, like, really saying he wants to kill someone, that's the alter-ego saying that, just so everyone understands that he's not a murderer-in-waiting or anything, like he quite obviously is.

 

[Mr.D]

Who won?

 

[dontcallme]

Who won?

Rocky. The Cold War is now over.

How many people have paid for the fight tonight? I've got it on but they are showing the same stuff over and over again.
