The Boxing Glove Prediction
By Peter Silkov
Writer For The Boxing Glove
With a little over 10 hours to go until fight time what are your predictions for Wilder vs Fury 2?. I must say that I am not happy with either the judges or the referee and quite frankly can't see Fury winning a decision. Not that he won't deserve it, but he just won't get
it!. He also is unlikely to receive any favors from the referee if he happens to get cut or floored. Unfortunately, I can see Bayliss jumping
on any chance to stop the fight in Wilder's favor. I'd hate to sound cynical and I'd rather be wrong, but I've seen too many big fights in Vegas over the years to be green enough to still believe that
Fury will get a fair shake. Having said all that I do think Fury is smart enough to know all this himself and that is one of the reasons why he is going for the knockout. Can Fury knockout Wilder?, I believe he
can. If he can hurt Wilder early, take control of the fight, and then
wear Wilder down we could see a late stoppage from Fury. Remember how
Wilder got gassed when he tried to stop Fury last time. Like many punchers, Wilders stamina is suspect which is why he fights only in spurts. Dangerous spurts yes, but this is a fight that Fury can win through higher work rate and pressure. Fury needs to pile on the pressure while staying clever himself and not taking any silly shots.
Then Wilder will break like a rusty drain pipe.
And don't worry about Fury's weight! he's 273 solid pounds, not 273
flabby out of shape pounds. As his new trainer Sugar Hill keeps on
having to point out to people, Fury is 6' feet 9", not 6' feet 1" or 2" or 3"
or 4", etc. Fury has also weighed around this weight before and has fought very well. He can still move around at this weight, but he will have more strength and power and also more resistance to Wilder's shots.
Barring a cut or something controversial I'm going for a Fury win tonight in about 8 to 10 rounds.
