    He said he is giving all the money to homeless charities anyway.

    Fury should also try to use that extra poundage and lean on Wilder where safe to do so.

    He also said he ate a big feed of uncastrated wild boar in the run up to his fight with Hammer.

    Fury says a lot of things...

    I keep changing my mind. Just watched a few full fights of each and I'm swaying towards Fury again. The Pianeta performance was nowhere near as bad as advertised.

    Think it’s one of those fights where the result will seem very obvious after the event. Think the size of the ring is something that isn't being discussed enough. Ring is 20ft. Fury had a 24ft ring in the Klitschko fight. Surely thats big time advantage Wilder especially in the latter rounds when Fury is knackered and looking for breathing space. I'm stuck on whether I'm predicting late Wilder KO with Fury clearly up on the cards or Fury to hold on and win on points. I do think a Fury KO is on the table far more than people suggest. Very good chance Wilder gets at least buzzed at some stage especially if he starts really going for it and letting his hands go.

    Never been so indecisive about a fight. Think I'm going to go heart over head and say Fury does it on points.

    I’m throwing out another scenario...Fury looking really inept...?

    It lasting a few rds at most with Fury having next to no success...

    He is not near the same as he was a few years ago...that I feel..

    You don’t lose talent, you gain a rust. If Wilder comes heavy from the bell and fury gets past 5 6 without taking a whole lot. It’s a fury W. Wilder needs to get the job done quickly, none of us know how ring sharp Tyson is at present.

    Don't see how Fury doesn't have some degree of success. If Arthur Szpilka can cause Wilder trouble even a corpse of Fury can do likewise at least for a while. Whether he wins or loses, it is extremely unlikely he looks like a complete journeyman out there.

    I kinda feel like it might be exciting, boring or something crazy might happen. I think though that Wilder will get a bit bamboozled in the early rounds and then start to just load up by 5/6.

    It's on regular showtime. Sky, BT or Box Nation aren't showing it.

    My cousin in L.A. was saying there isn't too much hype over there. Decent crowd of English around yesterday but otherwise quiet.
    Watching all access now. Good for setting mood

    Yeah Hatman (on Youtube) has been saying that tickets sales were slow right from the off. The American people just don't care about Deontay Wilder. A lot of people initially thought that this fight was just announced to wind up Eddie Hearn, so maybe that put a lot of people off it.

    Lots of complaints in Twitter that tickets were far too expensive, which is being blamed for poor sales more so tha lack of exposure. Lots being given away free apparently to make the arena look full.

    But will it play the recording?

    I did that with Bellew/Usyk...

    Sky let me record, but when I then tried to watch the recording it wouldn’t play..

    I recorded the first few minutes there and watched it back. Seems to be working fine. Now just to remember to hit record again before going to bed....

    Hitting the scratcher and getting up at 4.15 just in case my recording doesn’t work.

    ^ my own thoughts on this, as eloquently as I can put them. Kinda made a prediction, but I actually can't call this one. I really, really want Fury to win.

    Sorry to go off topic but does anyone give Adonis much of a chance tonight? 11/8 seems a good price for him, i havent seen much of Gvozdyk.

    I think the bookies are placing too much emphasis on his age and his draw with Jack..

    The Ukraine boxer has fought nobody really...

    Stevenson will not be beaten easily...

    Saw bits of bobs on the Ukraine lad....he’s technically good.

    Not particularly fast, and was buzzed couple times by lesser punchers than Adonis..

    I think Stevenson gets to him, hurts him and knocks him out..unless he has aged overnight.
