It would be nice if there were ways of watching it for free to say a big fuck you to Sky/BT etc. ?

I essentially weigh up how much I would enjoy the event.

As this is a UK fight I will most likely go to a pub and drink very slowly.

Wilder hurts my head when he talks, it's like he doesn't quite understand the vocabulary he's using and he's trying (and failing) to not seem as stupid as he actually is...Tyson is winning the mind games so far.

Would love Fury to spark him right out tbh.

The whole the UK is a small country anyone can make it there thing was funny. We have more champions across all the weight classes than any other country in the world, I believe. Good that Fury pulled him up on that by saying 3 of the 4 best heavyweights in the world are from the UK.

Hope he smashes the twat.

Already purchased the PPV several days ago. I'm ready to rumbled - set your alarms fight fans for 4:10am and make sure you buy some extra extra food/drink Saturday morning.
Yesterdays Press Conference was epic, you could tell things were going to reach boiling point. I think Wilder is rattled because he can't get under Tyson Fury's skin. Weigh in will be streamed on the ShowTime & BT Sport Youtube Channels Friday. Things could explode.

What's everyone's picks for the fight then?

I've a feeling Fury will knock him out.

If Fury wins he wins on points imo. If I had to put my house on it I’d go for Wilder, though. (KO 8-10)

To close to call. Hope Fury does it.

Wilder absolutely lost it at the press conference. If he comes out trying to knock Fury out and gases himself out, Fury May well knock him out in the middle/late rounds

I think Fury by knock out as well, just got a feeling his actual boxing technique will bamboozle Wilder's raw power.

While i suspect Fury has got a rock-solid chin, I've not seen it really tested by a power puncher like Wilder. It will be really interesting to see how he reacts to a shot flush on the jaw. After watching a few highlight reels from Wilder I do notice a few things; Aside from maybe Price & Duhaupus, all of his KOs have come against oppo who look out of shape with a much saggier physique, much shorter than him or just generally like they're in it for the payday.

When Wilder gets a small one two on target and thinks he's in for a win, he becomes a playground windmill too - his technique goes straight out the window and he becomes a mess of flailing arms, often until he ref comes in and, like a horny dog who keeps humping the air when you take it's cushion away, he just keeps flailing until he hits the ropes. It actually looks like he's out of control of his fists entirely.

Could be a great, great fight - Wilder is in for a shock if he thinks that his left/right will sit Fury down like it has for a ton of his previous fights (i suspect), Fury because Wilder will be coming at him with big punches - neither have really experienced that in the ring from what I can see, so I'm really looking forward to the first few rounds especially.

Wilder weighed in at 212.5lbs (15 stone 2.5lbs), which is the lightest he's been since his debut and he was wearing trackies, shoes and the fucking mask.

Tyson weighed in at 256.5lbs (18 stone 4.5 lbs) and looks more conditioned than I've seen him in a while.

If this goes into the later rounds, I honestly think Fury should dominate him...one punch can change it all of course, but IMO Deontay is too light.
