Comments Thread For: Bellew: Wilder Will Knock Fury Out in Three Rounds or Less!

[Ake-Dawg]

Footwork, feints, head movement, his jab, angles...

Artur Szpilka made him miss and look like an amateur at times until Wilder caught up with him.

Listen, if Wilder catches anyone clean he knocks them out, but there's reasons why he went 8 with Arreola, 9 with Szpilka, 11 with Duhaupas, 12 with Stiverne, 10 with Ortiz. It's because he doesn't set his shots up very well, his feet aren't that good, and he loads up on his shots. Most people can see them coming.

Fury is, hands down, the most awkward heavyweight out there and barely gets touched. I'm not saying he's guaranteed to win, but he's got the skills, movement, feints, speed and awkwardness to give Wilder a LOT of trouble.

Fury is awkward. But he doesn't let his hands go much. The feints and head movement will give anyone trouble, but will it be effective versus an opponent with no stamina concerns and who is comfortable in the clinch.

-Ortiz and Szpilka were both southpaws that he eventually caught.
-Arreola and Stiverne were broken hand fights. He tore his right bicep in the Arreola fight as well.
-Duhappas is a tough customer. The KO to Povetkin shouldn't be looked at because he took the fight on a days notice.

If that happens then Wilder is screwed, because Wilder can’t fight like that.

Wilder doesn’t want a brawl or a streetfight. Wilder lands his right hand from distance. He can’t fight in close.

Wilder needs to jab at length and wait to throw that haymaker. He needs time and space.

If Fury closes the distance on him how does Wilder cope? Wilder ain’t no Ward.

Mehh... its mostly counter right hands..sort of a overhand hook. Doesn't come from distance. Ask Molina. Also see the Duhaupas fight for Wilder fighting in and out of the clinch. Surprisingly to some, his left hook has plenty of pop too.

Fury doesn't really close distance, he typically uses those long azz arms to smother his opponents when they get close. I think he can be effective with that versus Wilder. Especially if Wilder doesn't go to the body. Which he should.

Wilder has been outboxed by far inferior fighters than Tyson Fury. Yeah he has a punchers chance against anyone, but anyone who thinks Wilder is some kind of elite boxer is deluded. Don't forget he lost every round against 50yr old asthma sufferer Ortiz.

Where are you getting this thought process . Nobody thinks he's a good Boxer and nobody thinks he can't be out boxed. What we do know is, he hasn't been out boxed for 12 rounds and we do know he knocked out everyone he fought. We do know Fury has a weak chin and got dropped by a cruiserweight. Tyson will have to lookout for a haymaker for 12 rounds and not tire out. Which is not going to be easy, prime Tyson or not.

So Fury’s vulnerable but Wilder’s not? Wilder is the most vulnerable HW champion out there. He’s an accident waiting to happen.

Fury is actually hard to hit clean due to good movement and defence. Wilder will be chasing shadows all night if Fury is back to his best.

Agree 100%. There are only two right now so..its kinda...well...you know.

Fury is the heavyweight potshot king. He definitely uses that head movement and footwork to stay out of danger. Isn't that what the Mayweather haters call running.

Bellew is sore that it wasn't him that was given the chance with a bellow par Tyson.Not like Tyson was afraid but it would have been some what of a joke given the size differences. Tony doesn't understand he only beat Haye twice, who was as shot as a fighter can be.

[Ake-Dawg]

Good points. What isn't said too much is the fact that Ortiz being a southpaw besides a good boxer confused Wilder. Fury doesn't have the southpaw stance, which will make it easier for Wilder. Fury does have, however, feints and footwork that will give Wilder fits at times. Unlike Wlad though, Wilder has no trouble pulling the trigger vs Fury. Imo, Wilder needs to attack the body of Fury early to set up his big shots.

My thoughts as well. Counter the feints with jabs to the body. When the clinch happens...get a hand free and stab that side.

Bellew speaks the truth, but he is being generous. Wilder takes Fury out with a high-light reel KO in 1 round. Wilder is not a 40 yr old Klitschko. He is not just going to stand there all confused, pawing at that clumsy fool. He is going to run straight through him.

All these Hearn fighters keep saying the same,that Fury isn't ready for Wilder. Yet, they wanted Fury to fight them. Says a lot about Hearn's fighters if Fury is ready for them but not Wilder.

Wilder looks HUGE next to Bellew. Tony must carry 30 more pounds in his legs.

There was a time when Bellew was calling out Wilder to fight... that was until he met him face to face and then changed his tune.

I bet Fury at 6 9 negates Wilders advantages and kos him. All Wilder has is a punch and awkwardness. Fury has that and actual skill.
