Everyone thinks Fury will win, truth is, i do too. Wilder has increased in weight from the last fight where he was 231 to now 238. To me i think its going to make him more slower than before and get tired more quickly. He already had the power for the fight, what he needed was to develop more speed and stamina. Unless Fury let's his guard down and Wilder has plans for a KO considering the weight gain, he has no chance.
When the public is so unanimous, the odds of the bookmakers are skewed and they are truly skewed now. Wilder is a great puncher, he can knock out any opponent by any hand and the odds of Wilder winning by knockout now are 3.75 But even more ridiculous chances that Wilder will win by decision is 17 (!!!). Maybe the bookmakers have forgotten that in boxing it often happens like this: after being knocked out, a boxer can fight on, but in fact he just endures and waits for the end of the fight, why can't this situation happen again today?
I guess the betting line makes sense, if this will go to the judges' scorecards, Wilder will not likely win as he doesn't throw more punches, the best chance for him to win is if he could hurt Fury and will KO him.
On the odds now from Sportsbet, I think I will try to put a little bet to entertain myself a bit more on Wilder to KO Fury in between round 1-3, and the odds is 16.00. I also like the possibility of a draw which has an odds of 22.00 now.
