LAS VEGAS — Despite there being no spectators allowed at the weigh-in for Tyson Fury-Deontay Wilder III, and no face off between the combatants, on Friday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, it was still eventful thanks to Fury’s off-the-rails post-weigh-in television interview.
Yea even the writers are a bit on the shy side as to who they are picking. Does that equate to the top of the HW division being so loaded with talent and this fight showcasing that or is it so weak that it is hard to even pick a favorite. I wondered that when I saw a boxing forum ask a panel of boxing writers to pick the winner lot of uncertainty on there picks. Whatever enjoy the fight(s) if you drop the PPV dollars into the pockets of them all....
This fight is intriguing, absolutely no hunch how it’s going to go. Several scenarios play out in my head, all seem equally likely.
The least likely to me is two plodding heavyweights, out of gas, leaning on each other, and preying for the final bell.

The heavyweight division is pretty exciting these days. I would’ve liked to see AJ Fury, but this is a great fight tonight.
