Comments Thread For: Helenius: Wilder Seems Stronger, More Confident, More Sure About Himself In Sparring

[NYG]

Boxers? Boxing writers? Boxing trainers? Strength and conditioning coaches? And boxing fans?

You think it matters that Wilder is more sure of himself in sparring? What the **** does that even mean?

Since the alternative is not believing in ones self is far more detrimental then yes it matters. Boxing is overwhelmingly mental…as we said in the Army, the body follows the mind. However your limiting description of sparring is glaring, sparring is where strategy is fine tuned and it has been apparent that what was used in the past didn’t work. It’s clear you don’t think or want wilder to win and are a bit emotional so enjoy to the fight card

You think Wilder feeling good in sparring will help him win?

Fury must be really difficult to try and replicate in sparring. Helenius almost has his height, which is a benefit, but wouldn't bring anything similar stylistically, so not sure how useful it would be to work on technical things with him. Better than nothing, I suppose.

Sparring is not the fight. But I understand Helenius defends his sparing partner.

No, but its the closest thing to the actual fight.

Helenius was beaten by Chisora years ago, he's average and always has been.

Irrelevant.

Why wouldn't it?

Have you ever competed in anything at all in your life? You ask some dumbfck questions. You probably think training in general is pointless.

Because sparring isn't the actual fight and i doubt he sparred anybody even close to the size and skill of Fury?

Wilder can spar 1000 times in a week, it still won't prepare him 100% for Fury. I competed more than you ever have in your life
