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

[Ajvar]

TRANSLATION: Wilder called to say any assuring thing which comes to his mind so Fury wouldn't flinch.

fury needs the cash to fund the next binge, its not as if we are going to get a good fight out of this, its going to be a joke, one fighter is just nowhere near ready, the outcome of wilder fury is 99% certain, im only putting 1% fury incase wilder falls over and sprains his ankle

Armchairs can't understand that Fury was looking to get rounds. He could've went hard for the ko, but he needs rounds like he said he wanted in interviews before this fight. Disregard ALL Joshua fans outlooks on this fight, lmao. Fury looked like crap to them. They are setting it up to make it look like if Fury wins, it was a terrible Fury that still beat Wilder scene. That's why boxing fans think that you're just as bad if not worse than Pac's fans lmao.

What did the 2015 Fury have that would prevent Wilder from windmilling himself to a victory. This isnt Olympic scoring where six pitty pat punches wins a round over two thudding shots. Also, how is Fury going to avoid Wilders power for 12 rounds. When the slower Klitschko let his hands go, he was effective vs Fury.

I agree with you for the most part. And that’s exactly why I said Fury will make the fight interesting the first half. But fighters adapt and trainers adapt. Wladimir was a different style fighter. True he was slower than Wilder but Wladimir, we both would agree, was more fundamentally sounder than Wilder too. So I’m pretty sure Fury’s team will game plan to “try” to avoid the power shots of Wilder early on to try to take him in deeper waters. Notice I said “try.” Not sure if they can avoid his power for 12 round like you said.

Honestly bro I don’t see much difference other than perhaps he was more elusive or slightly quicker. What is he lacking now other than more time in the ring. The Fury of old still wouldn’t have knocked out Pianeta. I rate Fury’s boxing skills but he is like a heavyweight version of Paulie Malignaggi. At heavyweight you have to have that equaliser in power or at least if your power is moderate then the ability to take a shot. I don’t think Fury is that durable if he is regularly tagged.

As for Deontay he can’t box for S#hit but when he hits you you know about it and even Tyson best moment in the ring was 36 minutes. You are always guaranteed 36 minutes when facing Tyson and I feel that is more than enough time to tag him and turn his lights out

Agreed! And I’m curious if Fury has enough on his shots to keep Wilder from coming forward with his power shots. Can Fury get respect from Wilder with his power. We already know Fury was dropped earlier in his career by Neven Pajkic and Steve Cunningham. Both of these guys have a very low KO %. Still cant wait to see it.

You make your statements with a lot of confidence but I don't agree. Styles make fights and Wilder and Klitchko are stylistically very different. Wilder is fast on his feet and Klitchko was not, Wilder has great hand speed accompanied by devastating one punch KO power and Klitchko didn't. Sure Klitchko had good power but not on the level of Wilder. By the time Klitchko fought Fury his reflexes were starting to go (father time) and were even further gone when he fought Joshua. Wilder is fast enough and quick enough to land on Fury to the extent that the eventual KO will come.

I totally agree with you for this fight. That’s why I said Fury will make it interesting for just the first half of the fight. I’m curious if Fury has enough on his shots for Wilder to respect him. Or if he is willing to pull the trigger & open himself up.

No excuses if he loses to wilder. No excuses because he's 31, had 2 warm up fights and only took 2 1/2 years off. Where as Vitali Klitschko was 37, had no warm up fights and took 4 years off. So yeah no

[W1LL]

Deontay Wilder is a classy man really, unless pushed to rashness. The fake beef with Tyson Fury makes me cringe a bit, it isn't necessary.

True ,true

The fight sells itself but they can't go crazy cos theres clearly no problem between them. It's just two men fighting, united in their disdain and some would say - envy of another man
