I got Deontay Wilder with 11th round stoppage. Fury has come in at 273, he's way too heavy and will get tired.
Wilder is also arguably the most popular boxer in N.A. now.

Deontay Wilder vs Tyson Fury II

- Start date
Going to have to agree with charlie here (pains me to say that)
Wilder is going to be losing badly on the score cards but catch him late when Fury starts to slow down from the weight gain.

Great strategy by Fury. Dirty box and keep close to Wilder so he cant unleash those looping wind up hay makers. Keep close to Wilder and hug\grapple him using your 270lbs weight to exhaust him. It was that right to the side of the ear that hurt Wilder bad. His balance was shot after that blow. Messed up his equilibrium
Not much to say as all your analyses are spot on.
The one thing I may add, is that in spite of his staged demeanor and looking like a big oaf, this guy has a brain. He knew exactly what he was doing. He had a game plan and stuck to it. He displayed superior boxing skills in the 1st match and by adding the weight he became more physically imposing. He just had to watch out for Wilder's right.
That was the 1st ppv I ever ordered (since free satellite in the good old days). My son came over so it was just $40 each and I felt that I got my money's worth.

Deontay Wilder will exercise rematch clause, blames 45-pound ‘uniform’ for Fury loss
The formerly undefeated Deontay Wilder was beaten pillar to post on Saturday night by Tyson Fury in a one-sided heavyweight title fight. Wilder’s loss had many wondering what happened - The Bronze Bomber seemed slow right from the opening bell, and he barely connected on any of his power shots. Today, Wilder offered an explanation to the media.
And it is somewhat bizarre.
Both Fury and Wilder had grand entrances to the ring, with Fury being carried in on a throne while wearing a crown and singing along to “Crazy”. Wilder’s was arguably even...well, wilder - a gigantic black metallic costume with a glowing mask that caused him to wipe his eyes for a few minutes after he took it off. Wilder explained to media the the costume actually cost him the fight (via Yahoo):
“My uniform was way too heavy for me. I didn’t have no legs from the beginning of the fight. In the third round, my legs were just shot all the way through. But I’m a warrior. and people know that I’m a warrior. It could easily be told that I didn’t have legs or anything. A lot of people were telling me, ‘It looked like something was wrong with you.’ Something was, but when you’re in the ring, you have to bluff a lot of things. I tried my best to do so. I knew I didn’t have the legs because of my uniform.
“I was only able to put it on [for the first time] the night before, but I didn’t think it was going to be that heavy,” he added. “It weighed 40, 40-some pounds with the helmet and all the batteries. I wanted my tribute to be great for Black History Month. I wanted it to be good and I guess I put that before anything.”
Full story coming to @TheAthleticBOX shortly: Deontay Wilder @BronzeBomber tells me he is definitely exercising his rematch clause for a summer trilogy against @Tyson_Fury, that his legs were weakened by his 45-pound costume he wore to the ring to honor Black History Month.
As stated in the tweet, Wilder confirmed that he would be exercising his rematch clause for a third crack at Fury in the summer. He won’t get as much money this time around though - the rematch clause that was agreed to offered the winner of this fight a 60/40 split in the third fight, as opposed to the 50/50 split they had at Saturday’s event.

Not sure what parameters they look at but it is possible that there may not be enough interest in a 3rd bout to give the fighters, and everyone else, the paydays they are looking for. There may be no one who'd want to promote it. The fight was too one-sided and there would probably more interest in a Fury/Joshua fight which would unify all the belts, I believe.
