Comments Thread For: Manager: Deontay Wilder is Training Like He's Never Trained Before

[kingstip9]

Fury will take away his big right hand, and push him backwards. Wilder isn’t just going to transform in 12 months of training.
He’s got a very real punchers chance, but outside of that he has looked a class below fury over the two fights

I suspect now so is Fury. No doubt their training, and certainly diet, is concentrating on different tactics however. If following the periodisation model they strength and conditioning coaches do, I suspect wilder is doing far more routines associated with explosiveness than in the past. Like Holyfield did, training for short powerful bursts over and over rather than long distance cardio

[Oldskoolg]

It really doesn't matter how much he trains tbh. He's TERRIFIED of Fury and no amount of training is going to change that. He shouldn't be going into the ring in this state of mind.

Bench pressing 310 lbs isn't going to make any difference to the price of chips once those punches from Fury start coming in.

Out of curiosity, how do you know he’s pressing 310? It didn’t mention that in the article unless I missed it?

Fury by decision is the smart bet but I really want Wilder to knock Fury out. It would be good for boxing.

Wilder is a bum. A literal bum with a big right hand. Straight up and down no special effects.

Soon this belt ransoming donkey will be gone from boxing thank god.

I see fury winning as well, not sure if it’s by stoppage again or points but he I like others in the past really has figured out wilder who finally had lees his career to a dark place with that sit back and wait to land a right hand while giving away rounds style. Fury rightly figured out that if he’s going to fight like that then rush him and steamroll him. Unless wilder significantly ups his output, jabs religiously, works the body on the inside, and can somehow negate the weight advantage I just don’t see it.
now, having said that, I agree, wilder winning keeps the division interesting and no matter what the nationalists in the U.K. think, wilder is definitely good for boxing especially in the USA

[Roadblock]

How can you be trained by someone you knocked out cant see that working out to good.

[Quaccey]

For those who say Wilder comes in great shape that's not necessarily true. He's in decent shape at best. His work rate is too low for a guy to be in great shape, he doesn't do much for the 1st half he waits for his opponent to tire before fighting back.

Not really, if Wilder wins, he'll fight another 5 bums before even considering fighting someone with a pulse, whereas i'm confident that if Fury wins, he will unify against the AJ-Usyk winner.

Wilder is also an international laughing stock and makes the sport look bad.

OnlyTheTwat wants Wilder to win because he utterly despises Tyson Fury, it's as simple as that.

I give Wilder a lot of credit for achieving what he has, while being technically pretty awful.

Advice for him would be stick to basics, throw a left jab more and a left hook, not just a right hand and hoping enough big punches land.

Having said that, this could be a pretty violent fight, and more anticipated than the first two fights.

Is it the biggest heavyweight fight since their second fight, and none bigger since Lewis-Tyson? I think so.
