Wilder v Fury 2

If / when it happens, Fury needs to adjust, and Freddy Roach is the man to do it. Roach is keen, and although Ben Davison did a great job, he needs to step aside for Roach to come in. Dodging / slipping punches is NOT enough, and Roach will change Fury's style to punishing Wilder hard when he misses with his wild swings, not just slipping. It's what made Mayweather great and is the reason why Pacquiao is probably the best ever. You make your opponent miss and you counter hard, you don't just slip and make your opponent look stupid. That's not enough. If you think the Pacquiao comment is over the top, watch the Morales fights. Pacquaio changed his style to bring the right hand in for fights 2 and 3, and blew Morales away. Pacquiao changed, Morales didn't. The man behind that? Freddy Genius Roach. Wilder IS a one trick pony, but his trick is very fast and hard. If Fury's going to beat him, he needs to change. Fury won the first one, but has to adjust now to move up further into elite level boxing. Also, let's be honest Tyson could get rid of that ring of fat around his waist and develop more muscle power. He's got the frame for it, and maybe then he would really hurt Wilder with punches the way Wilder as the smaller man hurt him!

I was thinking this also. Fury made wilder look silly missing but because he wasn't always punished for missing by miles wilder wasn't put off. Let's face it I doubt wilder gets embarrassed by being made to look silly missing by miles. Ideally he would have been more disheartened by the 12th.

I think Fury can get better and also stronger for the next fight. Even his old man said he wasn't 100% and i think losing all that weight has probably taken away a bit of strength to get to the weight he wanted. Now he's at that weight, i think he can work on regaining some strength and he'll also he much sharper for the next fight now he's had a good 12 rounds at a good level. If people believe rematches usually favour the boxer, then that's good for Fury. I don't see what Wilder can do much better really. He kind of is what he is. I don't see him improving his skills enough to really compete with Fury as a boxer. I don't think it's just a case of letting his hands go because Fury obviously makes fighters reluctant with his style. I think more variety of shots from Wilder and trying to set them up is what's needed, but i don't think he has them in his arsenal.

Both guys could improve or adjust. Rematch should be even better.

I agree... I gave Wilder the fight because in the early rounds Fury didn't do enough to win the round. Unfortunately dodging punches only looks good but doesn't give you the round unless you land :boxing:
