All this afternoon’s Serie A matches have been postponed due to a corona virus outbreak.

I did not expect that either!

Wilder looked very poor. No defence, appalling movement. And that was apparent before the blow to his ear that likely burst his eardrum.
That said, credit to Fury for making him look so bad. Fury was bulked but had lost none of his agility. He really took the fight to Wilder and deservedly won.
All the circus around Fury really detracts from the fact that he is a technically very, very good boxer.

Wow don’t think anyone expected that

well I got a few mates coming round so ive booked in the Fury fight and were splitting it 4 ways.

So its an early night and get up at 3;30am YIKES! I really hope my alarm clock wakes me up rather than 3 angry friends throwing stones at my windows .

I agree it should be in a great fight.
My thoughts and I know I will go against what most Brits think is that Fury was on top of his game, that was him at his best.

His last two fights weren't impressive and that's why I have this chain of thought as he was cuaght a few times by two ordinary heavy wieghts plus I don't think Wilder took the first fight serious enough. I think Wilder will be more prepared for this one tactically so he can get the killer punches in.

I really would of liked to watch the fight but I am not going to stay up on a Sunday to 3-4 o clock in the morning. I think this is the time they will be on.

I do hope Fury will win being a Brit as it will defo make the prospect of a Fury V Joshua fight a very mouth watering prospect to watch.

Its defo a very interesting fight for our generation to experience on the similar lines to the big heavy weight showdowns of the 80's and I guess the 60s.

Fury is by far the better boxer. If he keeps distance between himself and Wilder, picks up points with the jab, I can see Wilder going for haymakers and wearing himself out. Fury moves extremely well and has the ability to irritate opponents, forcing them to make mistakes. In the pocket, he has a pretty devastating uppercut that needs almost no preparation and is very difficult to spot.
Fury managed to outthink Klitschko and so clearly is a very intelligent fighter. That said, "Everyone has a great plan, 'til he gets smacked in the mouth".
Should be a good fight with a nice contrast in styles.

@gary-brown did you wtch the last fight? i reckon it will be much the same, wilder has to try for a KO in the early rounds, if fury gets into any sort of rhythm like he was allowed to last time i think it could come to points again. I may have been biased in the last fight but i feel fury was robbed of a win in the last fight. Also that was fury on the comeback, he has since had even more time in the gym and getting fitter. Feel like im promoting him but i think if he can survive the early rounds he has a great chance. Wilder undoubtedly has the power shot to knock him out but he didnt capitalise on his knock down in the first fight and it slipped away from him after that. Its how it happened in the last fight each playing to one another strengths id be surprised if it didnt follow the same in this.

thoughts on Fury V Wilder guys.
I know I am probably against most Brits when I say I cant see past a Wilder knockout win.
