wilders footwork is terrible. He’s like a dog on freshly mopped lino. 

His accuracy isn’t much better either but it only takes one to connect and he could be in luck.

A 90% sharp fury wins without Issue imo. Not sure how close he is to that though.

I like Fury - I've warmed to him over the past couple of years. Don't really understand boxing well enough to predict a winner - but I'd love him to pull it off.

Same here. Just wish he'd fought someone half decent since he went off the rails. His last 2 fights were proper farces. Big gamble this one.

 TF was robbed a win, sure he was put down twice, but what about the rest of the rounds? 

Yes down in the 9th and 12th how he got up from that last one only he knows. But apart from that I would probably give DW 2 other rounds. The stats aren’t even close. How one judge gave it 115-111 to DW is unbelievable

Credit where it's due. TF, with all that he's done and been through since beating VK, is a better boxer than i gave him credit for. I now think he would give AJ a very rough ride. After years of nothingness the heavyweight division is getting interesting again. Mainly down to our fighters if I'm honest.

A man his size has no right to be as slick and as quick on his feet as he is. Personally I think both of these beat AJ.

AJ will have to up his game, that's for sure. TF, AJ & DW can do the rounds with each other like Ali, Frazier & Foreman did in the 70s. If they keep away from no-mark mandatory fights then this is exciting.

Fair fucks to Fury.

getting up after those punches in the last round was Rocky-esque  stuff

his American pie afterwards was ace too

he’s growing on me

I’m liking Fury tough as old boots talks the talk but walks it as well, just seen the American pie interview, superb he doesn’t give a shit for conforming, he’s proper box office and got me enjoying boxing again.
