Fury's retirement talk makes the handicap difficult.

Almost seems like Fury isn’t taking this fight serious enough....

Not after this fight. 3 more fights. https://www.boxingscene.com/fury-says-retirement-talk-real-espn-contract-ends--146838
Both heavyweights seem to have a screw loose.
The Wilder corner threw in the towel.
Lots of holding and grabbing in the fight.
Referee Kenny Bayless had a tough task.

Bayless is incompetent. Wouldn't let them fight. Did everything to keep Wilder in it. Should have been over a few rounds earlier. What a fight plan by Fury.

Easy winner....never a doubt from the opening bell....sometimes as gamblers we think too much about the outcome....this was as easy as it gets....congrats to those who had Fury....watched the fight in an English Pub here in Thailand...standing room only and the crowd 100% behind Fury....
The biggest mistake when handicapping boxing rematches: The second fight doesn't start where the first fight left off.
It's a new day.

Heard wilder had broken jaw and ear drum. His corner told him he needed to make it happen in the 7th and since he didnt they went no mas.
Reports of part 3 would have winner get 60% of the gate, 40% to loser. No report on the ppv breakdown.

Television doesn't do justice to the height of the fighters.
Those were two giants in the ring last night.
Time for referee Kenny Bayless to retire.
How do you expect a 69-year-old to keep up with those two beasts?

Gaining almost 20 pounds for part 2 is a significant weight gain for Wilder. Interesting decison...

Do boxers aim to land ear shots?
They seem to be deadly at knocking a fighter off his game.

Were you able to scalp the fight, Fish?
One boxing observer told me to take a close look at the beginning of last night's heavyweight fight.
Wilder was wearing that crazy mask during his ring entrance.
Fury rushed Wilder immediately after the opening bell.
The boxing insider theorized Wilder's eyes were still adjusting to the bright lights in the ring, in contrast to his dark mask, and Fury was trying to take advantage of the unusual situation.
Interesting.

Even oddsmakers got into the fray, posting odds for a potential Fury-Joshua fight early Sunday.
PointsBet listed Fury as the -250 favorite with Joshua getting odds of +175. John Murray of the Westgate SuperBook tweeted the Vegas sportsbook opened at -260 for Fury and +210 for Joshua. Both sportsbooks say the fight must take place this year.
Abroad, Bet365 offered Fury at -200 and Joshua +150. And if Wilder presses for the rematch, Bet365 has Fury at -300 and Wilder at +225.

Good call, MrTop, on Fury at +115.
Clearly the right fighter last Saturday night.

That's plausible....I noticed he was sweating profusely after that heavy mask was removed, meanwhile Fury rode in on a throne
pushed to the ring by 4 hot woman.
Fury is a likable character.
Not sure I want to bet him anytime soon, however.
