I know there probably isn't more than like 500 people in America that care about this fight but what a tough line for the oddsmakers to make. Fury clearly dominated the 1st fight, used his size to keep Wlad at bay like no one has before and Wlad looked his age. It wasn't an exciting fight by any stretch but now the rematch line is around -110 both ways and Fury seems like he could give a shit and isn't going to have 1/10th the motivation that Wlad does for the rematch.

Said he is retiring after the fight, going to make more $ in this fight than the rest of his career combined and was woefully out of shape at the press conference. He has a few months to get in shape but it doesn't seem like he cares. Obviously some of it is just showmanship but Wlad is going to be motivated to avenge this loss and nobody would consider Fury an upper-level fighter. Does Wlad have 1 more performance in him or will is just go like the first fight?

This is the press conference where Fury straight tells him "Shame on you my friend a fat man beat you." and he was in way better shape the first fight. If he gets motivated then he will probably win but I think he is happy to take the $ and run. Fury seems crazy enough that he would showup out of shape, lose and then try to win the trilogy.

6 minute mark is pretty funny

I completely agree with this, first fight was hilariously awful. Neither guy looked like they knew how to box.

You gotta think this line moves 30-40 cents in each direction based on the weigh-in.

Fury said he is retiring and the payday will be huge. How motivated could he be?

Then again, might be tough for Wlad to get a decision in England.
