Dangerous strategy for obvious reasons, but Wilder is a long puncher, the real danger is on the end of his punches.
I think Fury might try and surprise Wilder and come forward, push him back, pressure him, lean on him, and try and wear him down. He will need good head movement (which he has) and I don't think it's something he can't do.
I know it sounds counter-intuitive but I also don't think you can sit on the outside with Wilder for 12 rounds, it's too predictable and he'll get the measure of you at some stage and detonate.
Anyway we'll find out in 24 hours or so
Wilder will try to take Fury out early, he'll be really wild trying anything and evderything to get that KO. Fury will survive the storm and mug him as much as he can by pressing him into the ropes and putting all of his weight on him. Wilder is too emotional for this, the upset is in the air.
He won't start off that way but make no mistake.... if he needs to he will and can.
That could happen if, 1, he's losing from the outside or, 2, he is behind in the fight and needs a KO..... barring that he will only lean on him when they tie up and in the clinch until the ref breaks.
Walking down a guy who has KOed everyone he ever fought doesn't sound like the best battle plan to me. Fury could walk himself into a straight right or a left hook and certainly some stiff jabs. Wilder could use his fast hard jab to keep enough distance to throw his bomb of a straight right. Not all of Wilder's punches are wide loopers. He can throw the right as straight as a arrow and one of those straight rights has ended many of his fights early.
Fury will be sticking out his long arm and ducking and dipping. Eventually he will get hit with a sledgehammer and die.
Yup! Exactly. Nothing more needs to be said.
