We're 3 weeks away from this EPIC REMATCH!

I haven't been this excited for boxing's hw division since the late 90's!

For casual boxing fans, we have two undefeated hw stars, both are belt holders, both are considered the top two heavyweights, and they already have fought each other.

How are they still undefeated? It was a D-RAW!!! First fight was EPIC!

I can't wait to see how the rematch goes. Does Tyson still have his chin, speed, reflexes? Can Deontay find an opening for that one punch ko he's famous for?

Who are you guys going for? Do you want one to win but feel the other might?

I'm pretty split. My head slightly leans to Tyson but my heart slightly leans to Deontay. I like Fury, he's entertaining as fuck, way more charisma than Deontay.....but Deontay is American, and has unpresidented power that can literally end the fight at anytime, even if he's down on the scorecards. Hell, just watch their first fight.

Enjoying Wilders run

Tyson is very likable

Fury is so skilled and funky defensive

Deontay has the touch of death power

If Fury can stay away from Wilder's power I can see him Winning a Decision.

As long as it is not too closely contested.

Obligatory...

"To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Deontay Wilder. The skillset is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of the sweet science most of the skill will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Deontay's grand outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Floyd Mayweather Jr, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of this figher, to realise that they’re not just witnessing greatness- they are witnessing the heavyweight GOAT. As a consequence people who dislike Deontay Wilder truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Deontay's existential catchphrase “Bomb Squad!,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Fat Joe's Terror Squad. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Deontay Wilder's supremacy unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.

And yes, by the way, i DO have a Deontay Wilder tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 boxing IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid"

First fight was great!

2nd Fight I agree with BenAskrensStrikingcoach @Suicidalforlife ...I think Wilder is going to be more aggressive and go for the finish in the early rounds.
Definitely, I also think their first fight has taken its toll on Furys durability, might be wrong but his fight with Wallin he was getting hurt by shots that normaly wouldnt phase him.

That get up was also crazy in the 12th round of their first meeting , if he gets caught like that again he wont wake up.

I'm leaning toward Wilder winning the fight this time. Fury may be distracted messing around with MMA.

I'd be happy for Tyson because he's so charismatic, witty and can also sing. He also donates a LOT to charity.

I'd be happy for Deontay to win because he also seems like a good dude. He dedicated himself to boxing with a priority of doing so well he can make enough money to get his daughter medical help. That's a good dude.

I hope it's close to exciting as the last one. I doubt it can top it, but I hope whoever wins, wins by ko so there's no question.

hard not to root for a guy like him

the charity
the cutting down from 400lbs
the singing

I don't like his style but it is very effective and intelligent

I can’t figure Fury out - he is so awkward that I find it hard completely buying in. That said, he is immensely likable and easy to root for. Wilder looks the part and is impressive in all facets, but for some reason I can’t get fully behind him. To me this is one of those, let the chips fall where they may fights. I’m just going to sit back and enjoy the ride.

Good thread BTW D241 @D-raw .

I reckon Wilder beats him this time, Fury got his chin cracked in the first fight, it gets split in 2 in the rematch.
I agree but not necessarily because of the chin. Fury I feel is a little overconfident against Wilder and will be caught napping. I think Wilder will come in even more confident that he can lose rounds and instead just focus on getting the KO.

I would actually go in with a more dangerous strategy if I was Fury. Rather than play a game of pattycake for 12 rounds, not putting pressure on and allowing Wilder to just wait for an opportunity, I would try to take Wilder out first.

Fury actually looked good in the first fight when he was swarming Wilder. Is it a risky gameplan? Fuck yes. But so is trying to not catch a bungalow at some point over the full 12 rounds.

unpresidented power is unprecedented in boxing.

I like Fury. I think this is an example of Ali-Foreman styles. Deontay has great technique, using his jab to break down the guard, but Fury has timing and movement. He doesn't get hit clean, and his footwork is much better.

I agree, although defensively Fury is out standing and for a big man moves like no other. He shouldn't abandon his strengths.

He did look good when he took it to Wilder but obviously that leaves more openings.

His best moments in the first fight were when Wilder was tired in the later rounds, he tried to finish Fury off after the first knockdown, gassed him a bit.

Fighting southpaw worked well for Fury too, would like to see him switch it up a bit more this go round.

I am really looking forward to this fight either way, first one was brilliant and had the most dramatic ending of any HW fight in recent memory.

another draw pushes it to the rubber match

another draw makes all da money X3

If it goes 12 it will likely be a draw

I am leaning towards Wilder sadly but really hope Fury can pull it off and snatch the belt that is rightfully his
