Comments Thread For: Mike Tyson Feels Wilder Should Go All Out in First Half Against Fury

[Oldskoolg]

Wilder simply has to stop head hunting and as we said in the Army and in LE, aim “Centre mass.” Aim for the largest target not the smallest. Hit the body, hit the ribs, hit the liver, hit the heart, hit the shoulders, hit the neck, and throw a lot both with jabs and in combination. Wilder will have to triple his punch output rather than try to be a counter puncher.

It has been many years since i watched that fight but if my memory is correct Lewis hit Tyson with 2 big uppercuts in the 4th round & Tyson never went down but that was pretty much the end of the fight. He took a beating until it was over. I remember being shocked that he never went down but he might as well have because his punch output was pretty much non existent after that…

Yeah I do remember that.
Tyson came out hot looking to catch Lewis in the first. He weathered the storm and kind of laughed at Tyson after the bell.
He rocked him a few times but was clearly just waiting for Tyson to gas himself before stopping him.
I’ll always remember that overhead shot when Tyson finally went down and he was gasping for air as the ref counted him out.

Bad advice

Knowing how terrible Wilder is at basic boxing, he will give Fury ample opportunities to counter.
Could Scott have taught him how to box in such a short time ? Doubtful.

Just throw meaningful COMBOS.
None of this 1 right hand at a time crap. Working Fury's flabby midsection would be nice too.

Wilder just needed to be reminded of those basic artillery that he has in his arsenal. Now he’ll be well mentally equipped. He’s not trying to learn new tricks, just well prepared for whatever fury brings to the ring. Remember he boxed well enough to get the draw in first fight depending basically on the successful right hand.

The right hand was minimally successful (if that was his road to victory)
While Fury is clumsy, he isn't ******. Wilder has to come with more than just a right hand (or maybe not telegraph it).

What exactly is Wilder going to go all out with? There's only so many ways he throws the right hand, and after getting backed up for about 2 or 3 rounds in the last fight, he even started slapping/cuffing with THAT... his best punch. When he tries to let his hands go, Fury will give him a reason not to shortly after.

Wilder's best strategy is : jab-right hand + move. All - night - long. Nothing else. And pray one of those right hands lands... And that Fury doesn't get up.

And Fury has no strategy! He’s coming to eat the jab-right hand until he gets laid out flat, is that the concept?

[earl_grey]

Wilder’s build and movement style is all wrong to become some kind of Mayweather or Toney type defensive counterpunching genie. He’s got one asset and that’s his punching power. He needs to stick with it and hope
Fury’s in a bad / undisciplined way when he shows up for the fight.

[Jack_sh*t]

Surely all Wilder needs to do is wear a thong for his ringwalk, make sure Fury's gloves have been checked, not let Mark Breland near his water and ensure the referee is sober?
