Comments Thread For: Wilder Returns To Favorite Venue, But In Unfamiliar Territory After Crushing KO Loss To Fury

[bullydean]

Wilder came very, very close to knocking out Fury in the first bout, and put him on his back twice in the last bout. Fury said he was concussed. And everybody needs to remember that Fury announced his retirement after Wilder-III, essentially saying he had all the money he needed and didn't want to end up as a drooler wearing Depends. That's how bad Wilder hurt him. This is not to say Helenius hasn't got a chance, but Wilder has fought the best there is and flattened him multiple times. While Helenius has the same puncher's chance that any 6-ft 7-in man would have, I still favor Wilder for a crushing win this time around. He's got something to prove, and I expect him to do it.

Wilder came close to KOing Fury when Fury was at his WORST! The first fight everyone knows Fury was still recovering. The third fight Fury had stopped training 2 weeks before the fight because of his sick newborn, had COVID, and had bone spurs in his elbows. Fury's plan for the third fight was 'rush Wilder and go for the KO'.

There wasn't really a plan for the final Wilder fight because Fury just wanted to get it over with.

Fury alleged had surgery after and in Fury's next fight against Whyte he easily KOd Whyte.

The one fight where Fury was healthy was the second fight where he steamrolled Wilder.
