Comments Thread For: Wilder: Ain't So Much What Malik Scott Taught Me; Brought Out Of Me What I've Already Known

[Monty Fisto]

My thoughts are that if I had developed (or rediscovered) a bunch of new skills that are going to help me win, I wouldn't be talking about it so much; I would bring it as a surprise for my opponent.

If you can do something and you want others to know you can do it, the easiest way is to show it.
If you want others to believe you can do something, and maybe you can't quite do it as well as you'd like, you try to persuade or convince.

Anyway, hope it's a good fight and hope it goes ahead. Bring it on.

In many of Wilder's earlier fights, he did exhibit some boxing skills. His skills were jabbing then with the right hand after the jab. He has some feints, left hook here and there but I felt like he was primarily setting up people for the big right hand. I would like to see if he goes to the body more, jabs more and has more diversity with his attacks. He will need to display more from his arsenal to knock out Fury. What if he doesn't knock out Fury? Can he outbox him and win by decision? These are the questions I want to see answered on October 9th.

Wilder shows flashes of "skill" when he goes to the body and he did a bit in the first Fury fight. He has a monstrous jab no doubt, but as soon as the going gets tough, all of his limited skills go out the window. At that point it's just, right hand, right hand right hand until it lands and ends the fight.

Fury's feints alone gave Wilder the fight of his life....that's what beat him in both fights. With a guy Fury's size, Wilder's right hand equalizes everything....IF he can land it. We saw what happened when the right hand was taken away.

I'll wait and see like I said earlier, but I want to know what his motivation here is. Is it to beat Fury and get comfortable again or, will he carry his newly acquired skills that he's know all along to the top again. We'll see.

You can't go 42-0 and not know how to box. You may get lazy and to confident ko
after ko. Why not hire trainer with excellent boxing knowledge that will take him
next level? Wilder is probably fooling us all.

Good luck......Dave

Thanks. You too.

[Smash]

how did he do that? hypnosis maybe

[Szef]

What he already knows

Which is 'champ, all you need is that right hand. You're good champ, this time we'll KO his cheating ass'

This fight will struggle to get 400-500K on PPV (which mind you still isn't bad). Truth of it is the majority of people were expecting AJ v Fury. Now we're getting a 3rd fight most of us either weren't expecting and or wanting. The ticket sales / PPV buys will likely show that too. It's hard to sell a 3rd fight to the general public with the 2nd one being a domination of the other. So do they rely on the 1st fight being a Draw to create intrigue? I guess. Technically...this ISN'T even a rubber match.

Dude just can’t give credit to anybody, for anything. Malik‘s going to say in his next interview “Hell yeah I taught him that s**t!” and Wilder’s going to summarily fire his ass for “treason.”
