Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder Prop Picks: Backing a Big KO in Fury vs. Wilder III
Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder Prop Picks: Backing a Big KO in Fury vs. Wilder III
The heavyweight division hasn’t been this competitive at the top since the late 90s. Between Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder, Oleksandr Usyk, Anthony Joshua and a few others, there are legitimately 6-7 guys that could challenge for belts in this division.
On Saturday night in Las Vegas, we get to see the third installment of Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder, perhaps the two best big men in boxing right now. There isn’t a ton of value in betting on Tyson Fury right now. The winner of their last fight sits about -240 on the moneyline, but there are some interesting Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder props available.
So, here is how I’m betting my Fury vs. Wilder props on Saturday night.
Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder Prop Picks – Fight Prediction
Let’s get this out of the way. I know that Deontay Wilder looked overmatched in their last fight. I know Fury is most likely the better boxer between the two and will likely end up with his hand raised come early Sunday morning.
BUT…
My favorite Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder prop pick isn’t backing the Gypsy King. Instead, I have my eyes on Wilder to win by KO at a juicy +300 price.
I bet on Tyson Fury in the first fight between these two. I bet Fury to win by KO/TKO during their last fight. I have long been in Fury’s corner when it comes to these two fighters, but the value on Wilder is undeniable this time around.
In 42 wins, Deontay Wilder has won by KO 41 times. His last time in the ring, against Fury, was just the second time ever that he didn’t end a fight standing over a KOd opponent.
Deontay Wilder, for all the technical shortcomings he has, is an absolutely devastating power puncher. If it wasn’t for Tyson Fury getting up off the mat in the 12th round of their first fight like the Undertaker rising from the dead, we’d be talking about Fury vs. Wilder III as a rubber match.
It’s important to remember that first fight and not get caught up in their second fight when betting on Fury vs. Wilder this time around.
Sure, Tyson Fury was ahead on most cards when they went to round 12, but do you remember how vicious those blows that Wilder landed looked?
My Fury vs. Wilder prop pick isn’t betting on the better boxer, which is Tyson Fury, it’s betting on the chances of a knockout by Wilder.
I think in the end, one of these guys is going out on their shield. I think both of them realize how much this fight means and how big a stylish finish would be. So, I’m betting on the KO artist to do just that.
Give me Wilder to win by KO at +300. I want to also bet on Wilder to win in rounds 5-8 as I think it’s going to take a little while for him to get comfortable against the awkward stylings of Fury, but I’m staying off that one. Just Wilder to win by KO come Sunday morning.
