The No-Bull Art's Fury-Wilder II Preview and Predictions

Just like all major boxing platforms, The No-Bull Art’s team of highly skilled writers got together to come up with their predictions to this weeks major blockbuster rematch between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury. Here are our predictions:

By Tony McLean

Before I start. The BS split decision draw in the first fight was an absolute joke. Those judges should be hung drawn and quartered. If this fight gives us half of the entertainment value of the first we are all in for a treat. Wilder is arguably the biggest puncher in heavyweight history but in my eyes he’s up against the best heavyweight in recent history. I can only see a better Tyson Fury coming into this fight. His lateral movement, elusiveness and playfulness is simply so unpredictable that I can’t see any current heavyweight out pointing him. Wilder will always have a punchers chance with that thunderous right hand but after seeing Tyson get up after swallowing it in the first fight, I don’t see him getting knocked out this time. The only way I see Wilder winning is via stoppage due to Tyson’s cut opening up again. Prediction - Fury UD.

By Jacques C

I just don’t know, to be honest. Wilder knocks everyone out. Fury outboxes everyone. When they fought, Wilder nearly knocked him out and Fury nearly convinced the judges he’d outboxed Wilder. There’re a multitude of caveats when analyzing this bout: is whatever weight Fury comes in at ‘the right one’, will his cut hold up, has Wilder nailed down Fury’s timing, have the knockdown from the previous fight affected Fury enough to explain the difficulty in the Walling fight? I think there’s a danger of overcomplicating things here and that seldom helps predict a fight. I thought Fury won the first fight and I don’t think either of them have changed dramatically in the level they operate out. Fury decision, probably getting up off the canvas again in doing so.

Prediction - Fury decision

By Joel

This fight will be decided on if Wilder can land that one big shot from the gods. Fury will come in fitter and more agile than last time, the main question will be if he's focused because on lapse in concentration and he's going to sleep. If this happens it will be glorious watching his spastic fans having a melt down on twitter. Fuck you HotStig you absolute menace to society. Fury, on points, then.

Prediction – Fury decision

By Sam Hogarth

This fight will be epic. Fury should win on skill alone, however Wilder punches like a mule. Wilder only needs to land one. I don’t think he’ll do anything differently from the first fight. He lost every second in the Ortiz rematch until the killershot came. Fury has had two tune-up fights and always roses to the level of the opponent. Fury on points for me, however there will be moments of chaos from wilder.

Prediction – Fury decision

By Dallas Orysiuk

The rematch between Tyson fury versus Deontay Wilder is like an extremely late Christmas gift, and what a fight to start off the 2020 boxing year. This is a true 50-50 match up. Will Fury outbox Wilder again? Will Wilder catch Fury again? If he does catch him, will Wilder finish him off? I think this match up could go either way, it could be a Fury decision or a Wilder KO… or even a robbery. It’s hard to predict this one; Fury has the skills to outbox Wilder and Wilder has the power to KO Fury, who seen the canvas on a number of occasions. But with a change in trainer and rumours (albeit by way of a jealous Eddie Hearn) of trouble in the camp, I’m going to have to go with Wilder. Both men have stayed active since the first fight, but Wilder has faced better opposition and all it takes is one punch. Wilder via a come from behind KO in the late rounds.

Prediction – Wilder KO

By GG Elliott

First things first: I want Fury to win. Will he?...I don’t think so. I love the #gypsyking, but confronting his comeback record makes for discouraging viewing. He’s built towards this fight by defeating Tom Schwarz, Braun Strowman and by going LIFE AND DEATH with Otto Wallin. Yes, he’s lost weight and he can be elusive, but all Deotonolgy needs to do is land. He’s floored Fury twice before and I see him doing it again, only this time with a more lasting effect. Wilder by ‘vicious’ KO.

Prediction – Wilder KO

By Andy Sutherland

I'm going to shock everyone now and pick the white man. I think it's going to be similar to the first fight. Fury out boxing him fairly comfortably trying to avoid that big right hand from Wilder. He's obviously in better shape now too so I think Fury does it on points. I don't read into his last fight too much, he's always raised his game depending on his opponent. Will be interesting to see if that cut reopens though.

Prediction – Fury decision

So there we have it folks, Fury is the slight favorite by the odds-makers, and with the majority of our team of writers (keep in mind all but one of us are from the UK) he is the favorite. The No-Bull Art has 5 picks for Fury and 2 picks for Wilder. Tune in Saturday to see how this cracker of a fight plays out.
