I actually saw him deliberately working on two things that he doesn't traditionally do: (1) He was switching southpaw, and (2) He kept getting on the inside (and using his head) to throw body punches. I think these two things will show up in his fight against Wilder. There's no evidence that Wilder can fight on the inside and the stance switching is probably being worked in there to slow Wilder down.
I think he plans to smother all of Wilder's shots and try to dictate constant resetting from Deontay in an effort to get a decision. It'll be a true stinker, but I'm willing to bet that's his plan.
I got the impression that he was treating the fight like a good sparring match. The goal was to go 10 rounds and work on a few things.
For **** sake somebody watched the fight and actually analyzed what was happening in there. I saw exactly the same. Say what you may about Fury, he is the most skilled heavy weight of this decade and he will show up to defend his crown as the true champ.
I know Frampton is already a very short guy, but he's been struggling to make 126 hasn't he? I wonder if he would be in better condition at 130? If he loses to Warrington I wouldn't be shocked if he moves up again, maybe we could get Frampton/Quigg 2 at 130
I didn't see the fight, but it's possible Fury doesn't want to lay out all his cards just yet. That wouldn't be very smart on his part with Wilder coming up. He likely just wanted to get some rounds in, knowing he would win easily.
Exactly!.....he'll take "more chances" with Wilder - win lose or draw. Why would Fury just coming back to the game try to play KO King (if that was never his thing - he EMBARRASSED Wlad and didnt knock him out)) in this fight - get caught with an avoidable punch and look less impressive falling to the canvas?
A 10-0 SHUTOUT is VERY solid for now! ....Lets not forget, AJ AVOIDS Wilder at ALL COSTS and is awaiting his GREEDY leaders NEXT money makin' directive....
AJ's next "risk free" pushover is the PED FREE Pillbury dough boy and according to AJ he'll EASILY be kneaded & baked(!),... so Wilder has to go after the next best thing, not against guys who Hearn "wants" him to fight INSTEAD of his golden goose Joshua......Boxing isnt Hearn. Thank goodness for that!
