No I haven’t but after the first fight those two options are favourite.
Would love to see Fury do it in 2 as he predicted.
But as he got the KO in him?
Personally I don’t think so.
Only way he wins is points.
He’s definitely the better boxer,but Wilder is a beast.

I just hope it’s half as good as the first fight.

Good decision, Fury constantly picking him off, good selection of punches, Wilders legs had gone for a few rounds, only his heart keeping him up, but with his eardrum burst and blood pouring from the ear, his jaw swelling up, it was just a matter of time, Wilder had no strength left in his punches, Fury was hurting him constantly, and now has the energy to sing a song ?????

Great performance from Fury, who continues to back up what he says. Bullied the bully. So smart in the way he uses his enormous torso to lean on and fatigue his opponents, as well as using angles to evade trouble. I didn’t expect a Fury stoppage. But pleased he got one. I wonder if Wilders ear drum was burst and that’s what affected his balance?

Can’t see Wilder wanting any part of a third fight immediately. He may be out for an extended period anyway. His jaw looked knackered. Fury v Joshua at Wembley for all of the belts could be on.

Not sure ear drums heal that well or that quick.
But glad Fury won, a lot has been written and said about Wilder and his record.
Time to move on and ignore the pretenders and unify the belts and then do the rematch before allowing the lower ranks have their chance

I burst my eardrum as a kid. Hurts like hell and your balance goes for a few days. If that is what happened to Wilder then he has been unlucky. It's the equivalent, or worse, to breaking a hand during a fight, you are definitely restricted.

Aj will dodge him.
Completely agree he will dodge the fight as Tyson will pick him apart. AJ very overrated imo.

Brilliant strategy against Wilder, Wilder is a big puncher but never seems to disguise his movements or pickup decent combos. Today he got found out brilliantly by Fury.

Well Eddie Hearn (Joshua’s Promoter) has called for the fight.
Possibly sees it as one last humongous pay day for his man - and himself of course?
He's called for Wilder before several times then come talk time to put it together the excuses roll out and end up against a weaker opponent.

I'd like to see it happen but can't see it anytime soon.

Brilliant performance from the big man. Thought before the fight he was bluffing about going for an early knockout as those seemed like crazy tactics, but they were spot on. Really glad I hauled myself out of bed at 4.30 to watch it.
