    He's hardly bitter though.

    Can’t stand Warrington, he’s an arrogant *. Hate him and his whole camp, they’re scummy as *.
    Frampton will box his ears off imo. Hope they make it for Belfast again.

    Exact same shot, further in the fight and the guy gets up. Thus proving my entire point!

    He's not good boxer technically but the speed and power he has is unmatched in that division, Ortiz did not see that punch coming when he got wobbled the first time. If Fury trades with Wilder at close range he's getting put on his *, Fury game plan should be the same plan he had for the fight tonight just constantly use the jab and move in and out at all times.

    If Wilder trades with Fury at close range he has no chance whatsoever.

    As I said, Wilder’s only chance (same as the Ortiz fight) is one big KO punch. He’s proved he can hit it. In the same way Fury has proved he can outbox literally anyone.

    I also don’t buy for a second that Wilder is quicker than Fury.

    If Fury gets into a war Wilder should come out on top but style wise it's a good match up for Fury and Wilder might well hit air all night, but if Tyson gets pulled into a war like he did for the last round against Wlad I think he will be in trouble. Wilder is wild as * the way he throws shots but he's effective, if Fury has the right game plan then I'd fancy Fury but he going to have to be very careful at all times.

    There’s no danger Wilder is faster than Fury. Hand or foot speed, no chance, Fury has fastest hands (maybe Parker actually, just) and feet in the division.
    If Fury is disciplined and sticks to the plan, he’ll outbox Wilder all night long.

    Also, if Wilder gets too crazy and wild, then he’s open and Fury will make the most of the openings. I wouldn’t be urprised to see Fury deck him.

    I strongly fancy Wilder for this,i think he will knock Fury out.He has one * of a punch and will know that this is perhaps his best chance to win the fight.

    Professional boxers should not be taking a 10 count on that shot.

    I wonder where Frampton v Warrington will be held.

    Warrington has the belt so you’d imagine England somewhere. Probably not Leeds right enough considering Frampton is still the higher ranked fighter albeit interim champ.

    I don't like Frampton. Comes across arrogant in my opinion..

    I'll be his biggest fan that night though. I despise Warrington with a passion..

    An utter wee * with the worst support going. * Leeds * day out whenever he's on..
