Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder: I Fully Intend To Knock Tyson Fury Out!

[SHO_RULEZ]

Fury's getting KO'd brutally. There are many, many levels to this and Sefer Seferi and Pianeta are not good tune-up fights for the world #2 (Wilder), maybe they are tune-ups for the world ranked #50, but not Wilder.

His accuracy isn't there - his jab isn't going to be a strong enough deterrent for Wilder. Deontay knows his career rests on this fight, even if it goes to round 11 or 12 he is going to bull rush Fury like in Stiverne II and brutalise him, he isn't going to lay down and accept a loss.

That's not Wilder's style though. Proceeding his KO's is usually rounds and rounds of caution.

If the fight looks like it's going the distance and Wilder is behind he is gonna pull something out

I'm sure Fury should be able to get up for this fight assuming that is the reason he's looked like a shell of himself in the past 2 fights vs how he did vs Vlad or maybe the weight issues and drugs may have caught up with him now either way he will have to be able to get in the best condition hes ever been to last 12 rds with Wilder if he plans on outboxing him

I fully expect Wilder to knock him out too, but, the story with the most potential to amaze and impress is one where Tyson wins.

If Fury whoops Wilder in America like he did Wlad in Germany he's without a doubt the finest champion we've had in quite some time.

I feel even Floyd would envy Fury's running shoes in that fight so I'm not so sure Wilder will knock him out. He probably will get tired chasing him around and Fury will nick the belt on points That would be a laugh. Fury would not have the balls to stand and trade with him toe to toe, once the windmill get going you will need to be a Godzilla to withstand it.

Maybe, but he's going to have to stink the place out again to do it. I find Fury amusing and entertaining outside the ring but he doesn't exactly light up the ring. At his best he's a very elusive, evasive shut down boxer who doesn't take any chances. His skills are not in doubt but he rarely backs up what he says he's going to do in the ring. And don't give me "you're just a casual who doesn't appreciate the fine art of boxing". Fury is no Ali. Ali exchanged a hell of a lot more and was way more exciting in the ring even if he danced early in a lot of fights to wear his opponent down. He always turned up the heat sooner or later.

Wilder and caution don't really go together.

Fury went on a safari and fought a pinata. He's ready for Wilder, no doubt.

I take you haven't watched either mans most recent fights?

Yes I have. Wilder will have to go wild to get a knockout. If not then he's being outboxed like Ortiz was doing. Ortiz was slightly ahead until wilder landed big. That's why it's a 50/50 fight to me. Even if Wilder does land big, does Fury just shake it off ? Either guy can win this fight.

Wilder can 'fully intend' all he wants... but Fury is certainly no pushover. More like a maze. A maze that no fighter so far has solved. And let's not kid ourselves.... Wilder isn't the best boxer. So IOW, I wouldn't be surprised if Fury beats Wilder with a UD, or stops him on cuts. I know stacks of fans will be coming at me guns blazing, but I don't care. Fury is no joke. This will be a very interesting fight for boxing purists... just not a huge fight with the casuals. I just wonder how it will sell. Not putting alotta faith in it being a big gate or PPV. Wilder is no big draw in the States, nor is Fury. If there is a rematch though... England should be the destination. There it would draw tens of thousands.

If Fury is as good as they say he is, then he is ready for this fight. People act like tune ups are supposed to get a boxer up to a higher level of skill, that's simply not accurate. Tune ups are preparation fights, higher level sparring at best. Tune ups help fighters get into rhythm and shake off rust, or keep them busy between fights to avoid rust. There's even the rare one which I like to call the "similarity" tune up, which is when leading up to a big fight, a boxer takes a low risk fight against an opponent who shares many similarities with their next opponent. Basically, if Fury was anything, then he still is, if not, it really has nothing to do with the lack of tune ups. Just think about it as you would your car when you take it in for a tune up, your Honda doesn't turn into a Mercedes. If Fury is not what he was, it's due to either him not being that good in the first place, or the damage he did to himself was too severe, I go with the former. I thought Fury looked good in his last fight, he moved well, had a very good jab working, and surprised me with combinations during the fight. He looks like he still has some conditioning/stamina issues, but there was a marked improvement in that area between fights, I'd have to expect that he will further improve for the Wilder fight.
