If you don’t want to miss any of the action live, sign up with ESPN+ to see the Wilder vs. Fury 2 PPV.

The first time around, Fury outboxed Wilder in the early rounds before getting fatigued and knocked down in the 12 and final round before shockingly rising back up from the canvas to finish out the fight. It was enough to split the judges and force a draw. This time around, both Fury and Wilder will look to eliminate the judges from the decision with both boxers talking about knockouts.

Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury will do battle in a heavyweight championship rematch at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas Saturday, with the card getting underway at 9 p.m. ET.

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-Fury 2 odds, picks, tips and best bets

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Friday at 1:50 p.m. ET.

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.

Special feature: 10 unforgettable heavyweight rematches

Heading into Ruiz vs. Joshua 2, we remember 10 unforgettable heavyweight boxing rematches

The rematch between Andy Ruiz Jr. and Anthony Joshua on Saturday is as compelling as it gets because of their first fight.

Ruiz, a replacement opponent known as much for his paunch as his ability, pulled off one of the great upsets by putting Joshua down four times and stopping him in Round 7 on June 1 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Can Ruiz do it again in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia, the site of the rematch? Or will Joshua have made the necessary adjustments and avenge his career-changing setback?

Of course, we can only imagine whether Ruiz-Joshua II will live up to the original. Some sequels are as good or better than the first fight, some fall short.

Here are 10 heavyweight rematches – or third fights – that remain in our consciousness for reasons unique to each of the fights.

GENE TUNNEY VS. JACK DEMPSEY II

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OeeCfbahwQ&w=560&h=315]

Date / Location: Sept. 22, 1927 / Chicago
Result of first fight
: Tunney UD
Result of rematch: Tunney UD

Background: Tunney, the superior boxer, had no trouble outpointing the once-feared knockout artist to become heavyweight champion in September 1926. Their second meeting – dubbed “The Long Count Fight” – wouldn’t be quite as uneventful. Tunney was winning again after six rounds when, in Round 7, Dempsey put him down with ferocious flurry of punches but Dempsey then made a mistake. He forgot the new rule requiring fighters to go to a neutral corner after a knockdown; instead, he hovered over his wounded prey. The referee got Dempsey to retreat but that process extended the count, allowing Tunney more time to recover. Did he need that time? That debate rages to this day. Tunney won another unanimous decision and Dempsey never fought again.

Andy Ruiz vs. Anthony Joshua 2 – Weigh-in, odds

Andy Ruiz Jr. vs. Anthony Joshua weigh-in results heading into their Saturday boxing event.

[jwplayer Wmceqhzl]

Andy Ruiz Jr. (33-1, 22 KOs) and Anthony Joshua (22-1, 21 KOs) have their much-anticipated boxing rematch Saturday, December 7. When they last met, which ended with a seventh-round knockout for an upset win by Ruiz, he weighed 268 pounds while Anthony was 247.75 pounds.

The two boxers checked in for Friday’s weigh-in, resulting in noticeable changes for both.

Ruiz’s trainer, Manny Robles, wanted his boxer to slim down and get in the 250s, per ESPN.com. They had a three-month training period to make it happen compared to a one-month notice last time out. Robles didn’t get his wish when Ruiz hit the scale Friday, as the 6-foot-2 boxer tipped the scales at 283.7 pounds for Ruiz vs. Joshua 2. He was, however, also sporting a sombrero and a shirt during the weigh-in …

Joshua, on the other hand, sports a vastly different physique. He dropped down to 237 pounds for the rematch, almost an 11-pound swing. The 6-foot-6 boxer hasn’t been in that weight range since he fought at 236.5 pounds in a 2014 bout.

During his first two professional fights, Ruiz Jr. fought in the mid-290s, so this weight range isn’t completely foreign to him. That was, however, almost a decade ago.

Ruiz Jr. vs Joshua 2 betting odds and lines

Per BetMGM, Joshua (-250) enters as the favorite to win the rematch. There is also already talk of a third fight between these two boxers.

New to sports betting? -250 odds gives Joshua an implied 71.43% chance to win, which is 2/5 in fractional. A $10 wager on Joshua to win returns just a $4 profit.

Meanwhile, Ruiz Jr. enters as the +188 underdog vs. Joshua, per BetMGM. That’s a 34.72% implied chance of victory. And it’s much more profitable on the betting side, as a $10 wager here returns an $18.80 profit if Ruiz Jr. can make lightning strike twice in six months.

[lawrence-related id=29749,29842]

BetMGM has the odds of this one being a draw at +3300. As for the predicted length of time, the oddsmakers don’t like this one going the full 12 rounds, which has +275 odds on it. Anything less than 12 is the heavily favored oddsmaker point of view, coming in at -400.

The boxing world and sports bettors are in for another treat this weekend, as Andy Ruiz Jr. and Anthony Joshua meet in a much-anticipated rematch.

It was just back on June 1st when they last met, which ended with the underdog Ruiz Jr. knocking out Joshua in the seventh round. Ruiz Jr. defied the 11:1 odds against him and came out on top… and, yet, the champion is the underdog again!

Ruiz (33-1, 22 KOs) has won his last four fights and brings the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight championships on the line, while Joshua (22-1, 21 KOs) looks for revenge against the only boxer who has ever beat him.

Anthony Joshua vs. Andy Ruiz Jr. odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Saturday’s Anthony Joshua vs. Andy Ruiz Jr. heavyweight boxing matchup, with boxing betting odds, picks and best bets

[jwplayer Wmceqhzl]

Anthony Joshua and Andy Ruiz Jr. will go toe-to-toe for the world WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight championship titles in a rematch of last summer’s stunner at New York’s Madison Square Garden. This time the two will duel in a 15,000-seat open-air stadium in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia, dubbed “Clash on the Dunes.” The fight is Saturday with the main event expected to start around 3:45 p.m. ET. This one comes at you via live stream on DAZN.

Joshua vs. Ruiz Jr.: What you need to know

Joshua (22-1-0, 21 KOs) is back in the ring looking for revenge after his shocking seventh-round loss at Ruiz Jr. (33-1-0, 22 KOs) in June.

Joshua was heavily favored in the first bout, but he was unable to make it through seven rounds. Ruiz Jr. pulled off an upset of historic proportions, similar to Buster Douglas stunning Mike Tyson, Hasim Rahman taking down Lennox Lewis, and Corrie Sanders upending Wladimir Klitschko.

Ruiz Jr. beat Joshua with speed, hurting him early and going in for the kill after some tentativeness and a lack of recovery on the Briton’s part. Joshua was wounded early in the fight, and he seemed to get rattled early due to Ruiz’s lightning speed and the fact he was hurt and unable to recover.

Ruiz might not be an Adonis as far as his physical attributes, and some might expect his cardio not to be up to snuff, but once he gets into the ring he’s all business — and every bit physically fit. In fact, his outstanding speed is a bit surprising considering he appears to be out of shape at first glance.

Joshua vs. Ruiz Jr. odds, picks, tips and best bets

Per BetMGM, Joshua (-250) is a moderate favorite to return the favor against Ruiz Jr. (+188) on the 3-way betting line, with a draw (+3300) also a choice. You might want to avoid that, however, as it is extremely unlikely.

This has trilogy written all over it, and there are already some rumblings from the Ruiz camp that if Joshua scores the win, they would want a Joshua-Ruiz Jr. III bout. Expect that to happen.

Joshua is likely going to be a little more measured and less reckless than the first fight, and you can bet he spent a lot of time on his defense. That might help the fight go a little deeper, although he will still be champing at the bit looking to repay Ruiz for the embarrassing defeat in June, too.

Joshua (+350) at full distance might not be a terrible play, but a wager on Joshua winning in Rounds 7-12 (+250) is a much better bet, and gives you more opportunity. He’ll get the knockout, and his belts back, and you can expect we’ll get a third installment of this series, too.

If you like Joshua for the KO/TKO/technical decision or DQ victory, BetMGM, you’ll have to lay a little money, but not much at (-125).  A win on points by Joshua fetches a return of +350, which is a bit enticing, too. It’s a good bet, as mentioned above, to take the knockout instead, however. Joshua should be focused, determined and ready to return the favor. 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 (+275), it is a bit of an intriguing play, but it went just seven last time, and Joshua should fire out of the box looking to end it sooner rather than later.

Are you new to sports betting? A $10 wager on Joshua straight up at -250 to win outright would return a $4.00 profit. 

My recommendations are playing JOSHUA IN ROUNDS 7-12 (+250), while BETTING HIM STRAIGHT UP on the 3-way fight result line at (-250). I have a hard time seeing Ruiz betting him in two consecutive bouts, especially since that would eliminate the need for a third fight in this series. And let’s face it, boxing loves drama, and there would be none with another Ruiz win.

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.
