    Last time he came from the couch to the ring, I think fury will destroy wilder, all wilder is is a big uncontrolled punch no technical ability at all who leaves him self wide open at every swing

    It might well be boring for a lot of people if Fury is winning every round with ease, but what makes this fight different is Wilder has the power to win the fight in an instant, even if it looks like he's beeing schooled and losing every round all he needs is one punch.

    So I think that what makes this a good fight to watch even for none boxing fans as this really is a 50/50 fight.

    Wilder or Fury who is going to win and how fight fans? Already paid £25 had someone set up BT Box Office for me.
    Usually Las Vegas fights start at 5am GMT UK but I might get up at about 4:30am. Will buy plenty of food & drink tomorrow morning. Weigh-in starts later on tonight at 10:30pm so tune in sports fans.

    I thought he looked more muscular too, hope he doesn't come in too heavy, it's bound to tire him out and slow him down.
    If he is totally serious about trying to blast Wilder out of there then he may well come in heavy.

    This build up to the weigh in is class, the whole promotion has been spot on from BT.

    That's too heavy for Fury for me man, defo worries me somewhat. I know he'll be in shape per se and carry some sort of fitness but for how long ? Fury coming in far too heavy.

    Just got this OT shift to get out the way then the proper build up starts :boxing:

    How much heavier if fury from the last fight with Wilder?

    My thinking is the same as above, he got to that last fight from a near impossible position so out of shape it was unreal, now he goes into this fight starting from a lot better position fitness wise.

    Think he's 17lbs heavier. Can only assume he's gonna try and fight the whole fight inside, tiring Wilder out and roughing him up.
    Buzzing like * for this fight.
