Scorecard Predictions
As the prop bets suggest, this fight isn’t likely to go to the cards. Wilder, 35, has knocked out a stunning 93.2 percent of his opponents, per BoxRec. The only people to make it to the judges against him are Fury and Bermane Stiverne, who lost to Wilder by unanimous decision in 2015. Everyone else has been flattened.
While Fury is much more skilled than the long list of fighters Wilder has knocked out in the past, the Bronze Bomber still believes he has what it takes to put him to sleep.
“There’s many things that I visualized in the first fight, along with the second, and I didn’t execute the game-plan,” Wilder said after arriving in Las Vegas, per SkySports.com’s Richard Damerell. “But this time around it’s just a different feeling. All the way around. The atmosphere. The energy as a whole.”
