Comments Thread For: Malik Scott Expects Deontay Wilder To Stop Tyson Fury in Five Rounds

[vitali1999]

Do you think he'll do something original like biting off a piece of Fury's ear?

No I expect him to do something much more bizarre. He will go bananas

[vitali1999]

I thought of this too, but I think Wilder has too much pride to self implode like that because he knows he'd be finished for good. My other thought was Wilder could come in with some egg-weights himself "get even" for what he claims Fury did to him. But truthfully, Im sticking with my Fury KO 5 Wilder.

If Wilder gets knocked out before he goes bananas then yes Fury ko 5 is just as likely

Wilder is just going to get pummeled, he won't get knocked out unless the ref stops it which may happen. It's gonna be sad, he just doesn't have the skill to hang with Fury and is going to lose a unanimous decision bloody, bruised and swollen.

the problem for Wilder is the massive skill differential between the two of them.

I would expect Fury to win the exchanges because he has far superior boxing skills.

that’s the essence of boxing.

Wilder does tend to surprise fighters with his ability to close the gap and land from distance and he managed this a couple of times against Fury in the second fight. I think his best shot is to hope that he can catch Fury from something from range. But this would seem to require an element of misjudgement from Fury.

My point is, Fury isn't going to slug with Wilder. He was effective because Wilder was tentative and not throwing. He can't do that. Throw for the MF'n fences like you did on Eric Molina late in the fight but do it from round one. Fury will go defensive, try to smother and get clipped. Just like Cunningham caught him.

Fury/Wilder slugfest ends with Fury going down and he knows that. That's why Fury was throwing at range until Wilder got knocked out of whack by an elite palm strike to the ear.

Why the hell is Jay Deas still hanging around? Jesus, the dude has no shame. Deontay brings in a new head coach and he's still floating around looking for crumbs. Wilder should have dumped his useless ass 10 yrs ago.

Unless he really has changed his game working with Scott, Wilder's one and only advantage against Fury is fighting at range. Fury has proven that he eats him up mid-range and on the inside. If Wilder could have outslugged Fury in the rematch, he would have. The fact is that WIlder's only real chance comes if Fury sits back and dances around on defense.

Bro, Wilder DIDN'T TRY to fight in close, he barely threw anything.

Not sure what you're saying, bro, besides affirming my point that Wilder doesn't know how to fight on the inside.

It's not a matter of knowledge. He didn't try.

He was tentative. That's why he lost.

He was tentative against Stiverne in the first fight too.

It's like fat fighters throw him off.

Ohhh. So its not that Deontay doesn't know how to fight inside. He just didn't try to fight on the inside because he just didn't want to win? Deontay's actually a great mid-range and inside fighter; he just didn't try either time against Fury because Fury's love handles mesmerized him a bit. Man, you really see into the nuance of things. I missed all of that. Thanks for your insights, bro.
