Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury: What you need to know

Wilder (42-0-1) looks good — OK, really good — as I had to pleasure of attending the press conference at MGM Grand casino Wednesday. In fact, the news conference was so bombastic, resulting in pushing and shoving between the fighters and others, that the Nevada Sports Athletic Commission has barred WBC heavyweight title holder Wilder and lineal champ Fury from participating in the traditional faceoff at the weigh-in Friday.

Fury (29-0-1) has managed 20 knockouts of his own, but he is more known for being a technician rather than a brawler like Wilder. He was dropped in the ninth and 12th rounds by Wilder in the first meeting, but he managed to scrap his way back to a draw. In fact, the two knockdowns actually cost him, as one judge had it 113-113, and admitted Fury was docked two points for the knockdowns. Razor-thin margin.

This rematch will be one of the best fights of 2020, and it could be a trilogy if this bout ends in another draw or a close decision.

Wilder (-110) is a slight favorite over Fury (+100) on the 3-way betting line, with a Draw (+2000) also a choice. It isn’t a wise decision to back a second straight draw, however.

Wilder’s knockout percentage is simply amazing, but Fury is one of two fighters to avoid being knocked out by the WBC champ. Vegas considers this fight a toss-up, and the general public lean goes slightly to the champ. Backing WILDER TO WIN ON POINTS (FULL DISTANCE) at +800 is a good start to your ticket.

If you don’t believe the fight goes to the judges, or you like Wilder late, go with WILDER TO WIN IN ROUNDS 10 THROUGH 12 (+800). That’s quite a nice return. Fury will not go quietly into the night, but Wilder could finish him late if fatigue becomes an issue. You could also play it safe — particularly if you’re on the fence on who wins but like the bout to go deep into the Vegas night — and take 9 ROUNDS OR MORE (-150).

Are you new to sports betting? A $10 wager on Wilder straight up at -110 to win outright pays just a $9.10 profit. 

My ticket will consist of a straight 3-way bet on Wilder (-110) to win, with a wager in Round Group Betting 2 which sees Wilder in Rounds 9-12 (+550). I’ll couple that with a hedge bet of the fight lasting 9 rounds or more (-150), regardless of winner. In addition, the Round Group Betting 3 section of when will the fight be won has ROUNDS 7-12 (+200) listed, which is a solid play, regardless of winner.

Deontay Wilder-Luis Ortiz weigh-in results

Looking at the weigh-in results between Deontay Wilder and Luis Ortiz heading into their rematch boxing fight Saturday.

[jwplayer UENyzpuu]

LAS VEGAS – Deontay Wilder was expected to be a little heavier in the rematch than he was in his first fight with Luis Ortiz, Ortiz a little lighter. And that’s how it played out.

Wilder on Friday weighed 219½ pounds, almost five pounds more than he weighed when they fought in Mach of last year. Ortiz, who reportedly trained like a mad man, weighed 236½. That’s almost five less than he weighed in the first fight.

They meet again Saturday at the MGM Grand on Fox Pay-Per-View.

Wilder, who stopped Ortiz in 10 rounds the first time around, doesn’t think the weight will make much of a difference.

“He knows what happened the first time. He knows what will happen the second time,” Wilder said on the stage moments after weighing in.

Wilder weighed 223 for his last fight, a first-round knockout of Dominic Breazeale in May. Ortiz weighed 238¾ against Christian Hammer in March, when Ortiz won by a wide decision.

In other fights, Leo Santa Cruz and Miguel Flores weighed 129½ and the limit of 130, respectively, for their junior lightweight title fight. Santa Cruz is attempting to win a title in a fourth division.

In a scheduled junior featherweight bout, Julio Ceja weighed 126½, way over the 122-pound limit. His opponent, Brandon Figueroa, weighed 122. It wasn’t clear how officials intended to proceed.

And, in a bantamweight title eliminator, Luis Nery weighed 119, a pound over the limit. He had a few hours to lose the extra weight. His opponent, Emmanuel Rodriguez, weighed 118.

Wilder-Ortiz odds: Luis Ortiz seeks revenge vs. Deontay Wilder

Previewing the betting odds for the WBC heavyweight title bout between Luis Ortiz and Deontay Wilder, with boxing analysis, picks and tips.

[jwplayer UENyzpuu]

Deontay Wilder and Luis Ortiz square off in a rematch for the WBC heavyweight title at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas Saturday, with the card kicking off at 9 p.m. ET.

Wilder-Ortiz: What you need to know

Wilder (41-0-1) puts his nearly unblemished record on the line in a title rematch bout on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View. Wilder has seen 98 percent of his victories come via the knockout, including a 10th-round KO back in 2018 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. It nearly went another way, as Ortiz was working him over with heavy, sustained damage in the seventh. However, Wilder showed his champion mettle by pulling himself out of the fire and rebounding with a knockout of his own in what was an epic boxing bout harkening back to the heyday of the sweet science.

For Ortiz (31-1), that remains his only setback in a 32-bout career. Since that right uppercut dropped him from the ranks of the unbeaten he has taken out his aggression on Razvan Cojanu and Travis Kauffman in knockouts before picking up a decision victory against Christian Hammer.

Now, he gets a chance to get all the way on top. He cited problems with his cardio as the reason he petered out in the last bout against Wilder, as he really went all-in in the seventh round trying to drop Wilder, but he just couldn’t finish and expended a lot of energy to do so.

Per BetMGM, Wilder (-500) is the heavy favorite over Ortiz (+333) on the 3-way betting line, with a Draw (+2500) also a choice. It isn’t a good choice, though.

If you were to look for lighting to strike twice, with a Wilder knockout in Round 10 (+1400), that pays rather handsomely. However, individual round betting is not a great investment. Instead, look to Round Group Betting, where Wilder to win in Rounds 9-12 (+500) pays fairly well.

If you like Wilder for the KO/TKO/Technical Decision or DQ victory, BetMGM has him listed as a rather heavy favorite at -334, with a win on points at +650 rather tempting. However, most talking heads expect a knockout, and Wilder’s track record suggests the same. BetMGM has a special prop bet for those looking for the victory via KO or TKO, too.

If you feel the fight will go 12 rounds, with either fighter winning on points (+450), you can do fairly well, but it isn’t a recommended wager.

Are you new to sports betting? A $10 wager on Wilder straight up at -500 to win outright pays just a $2.00 profit. 

I personally prefer Group Betting, with the fight won in Rounds 7-12 (+150), while doubling down on Wilder in Rounds 7-12 (+188). If both of those things come through on a $100 wager, it pays a respectable $269. Sign me up.
