The eagerly anticipated rematch between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury takes place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on February 22nd and the eyes of the boxing world will be fixated on this epic bout. The Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 2 odds at Bovada suggest a close contest that Wilder should win, but online bookmakers do get these predictions incorrect and we feel they have underestimated Fury.
Fury felt hard one by when the previous fight between these two giants of men ended in a split decision draw. The Brit, known as The Gypsy King, out-boxed and outclassed Wilder in all areas and was a worthy winner. The judges had other ideas, however, with one judge awarding it 115-111 in favor of Wilder which was borderline criminal.
The Wilder fight was the first quality opponent Fury had faced since he was suspended for being mentally unfit and for cocaine abuse. Boxing odds 2020 gave Fury little chance of glory against the hard-hitting wilder but he was the better fighter.
Wilder managed to knock Fury to the canvas in Round 9 and again in Round 12. The fight looked over but Fury miraculously rose to his feet and continued to box.
Perhaps one reason the Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 2020 odds are stacked in Wilders favor is the fact Fury suffered a severe cut to his eye in his last fight against Swedens Otto Wallin. Furys camp states his eye is now in perfect condition and that Wilder failed to knock him out in their last fight so why will he be able to do it this time.
Wilder is the name at the top of most Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder picks and it is easy to see why. Only two men have stepped into the ring with Wilder and not been knocked out! Chris Arreola retired hurt in the eighth round of their bout and Fury was the other.
Wilder knows he has the power to stop Fury in his tracks but is also aware Fury could clinch the title if he boxes to the best of his ability. its going to be an enticing fight, to say the least.
Boxing fans hope Wilder doesnt have one eye on a potential blockbuster fight against Anthony Joshua.
Everything points to a Wilder victory at -130 and by the way of KO, TKO, or DQ at +100 but Fury is more than capable of causing an upset and we wouldnt deter anyone from taking the +100 odds on a Fury victory.
The old romantic in me wants Fury to win and set up a mouth-watering Best of British clash against Joshua, but listening to my head instead of my heart makes me opt for a Wilder victory. This fight will not end in a draw and I seriously doubt it will go the distance.
Back Wilder to win by KO, TKO, or DQ at +100 at Bovada.
