Comments Thread For: Fury: Wilder Congratulated Me, Said it Was Great Performance

Wilder almost always looks bad. And it is not very likely to expect he will stop Fury. So, I guess, Wilder loses against Fury by UD.

What I find telling is his accuracy on that jab - it's horrendous and something that I noticed during his first comeback fight as well.

Wilder KOs him, pick the round. It could be a 1 round KO at this, don't be shocked if it happens - and I'm not underrating Fury in my view, he was a genuine threat at his peak but his skills have diminished greatly.

I think he needs a better tune-up than the world #138, and I think Fury and Warren know this and that they will not take the brutal Wilder KO next, no way.

Evander Holyfield vs Bobby Czyz.

Then again, Czyz was no Pianeta.

Why is it unlikely Wilder stops Fury? He's faced 39 different heavyweights in his 40 fights and all of them have bee Ko'd by him. Wilder can box very well (when that is his focus) and according to Klitchko has great footwork and is the quickest heavyweight around...and also has the most devastating punching power of any of the top heavyweights. When (not if) Wilder starts tagging Fury, Fury will eventually topple just like a California Redwood.

Tyson is a good boxer I can not take that away from him .For a guy that is 6ft 9 he moves incredibly good.His performance to date by a country mile is the Klitschko performance where he totally schooled Klitschko but Pianeta showed more intent to land than Klitschko did that night. Even though WK was absolutely bossed that fight it could had gone 30 rounds and Tyson would not have been any closer to stopping him. He has never been blessed with power and it is no different now.

I thought he moved well yesterday and in 3 months time he will be even more elusive. That to be fair will be his main game plan against Wilder. Hit, smother and hold. Basically staying out of harms way. However, I just fear when Wilder decides to turn on the helicopter blades Fury will collapse to the canvas

Wilder struggled with everybody he faced. Even with Duhaupas, Szpilka guys. Fury is far better than all guys Wilder fought.

It's obvious. Fury wants to cash out before the general public realizes that today's Fury is just a clown.

Before last night I thought that Fury might actually believe he can beat Wilder. Then I saw him take shots and look defensively disorganised against a guy ranked outside the top 100. Wilder's skills are underrated but they are not elite level... they're still a damn sight better than Pianeta's and when Wilder lands you got problems.

I think you hit the nail on the head. It's early enough in his comeback that when he gets KTFO by Wilder he'll say

"Look, it was my third fight back. I'm a fighting man. I'm so full of pride that I don't know what's good for me sometimes. Of course I wasn't ready, I had been out of the ring for 2 years and struggling with depression and addiction. But I'm the kind of guy who wants to go straight back into the fight the best because that's the kind of fighting man I am. Gotta love me. I'm a fighting man. I faced the guy Joshua was afraid to get in the ring with before I was even ready to fight the best, but this time I'm ready because I've just beaten [insert name of guy ranked 30-50] in dominant fashion"

To be fair to him... it's pretty smart. He's going to earn a shedload of money. Then he'll no doubt balloon back up in weight, but hopefully he'll be well from a mental health point of view after retirement this time, if not a physical one.

I guess if you look at it as a no-lose situation for Fury, while making big bucks for 36 minutes. (If he lasts that long) I have no idea, but let's say he is getting 5 million for the fight...that is about $139,000 per minute. Not a bad for less than an hour's work.

Wilder is VERY fortunate he isn’t facing the Fury that fought Wladimir, VERY, VERY fortunate. That version out classes and out boxes this version of Wilder. This Fury will make the fight interesting during the first half and get dominated the second half.
