Comments Thread For: Chisora, Whyte Agree: Fury in Too Deep With Deontay Wilder

[davef]

I will be rooting for Fury id like to see him win but if i was betting money on this fight I would pick Wilder by KO

[Ake-Dawg]

I don't agree with this being some impossible task for Fury, I mean it's Wilder..... outboxing him is not difficult even if Fury is no longer 100%. Fury has to avoid shipping a homerun right hand and he'll most likely win comfortably.... it all depends on whether Wilder is good enough to set up that punch, Fury will be a much more difficult target than Ortiz.

When Klitschko was aggressive he landed. The problem seemed to be that he was more concerned with preserving his gas tank. Wilder has the best gas tank in the heavyweight division. There will be real danger when Theory seeks to take his usual rest moments up against the ropes.

Wilder could be knocked out early while trying to figure fury out 👊

Chisora and Whyte are right and I agree with them. Fury is going to take a real shellacking in this fight. His strategy is so predictable and that is to run out the clock and avoid getting hit.

I'm not so sure that you can take a champion's title away by playing a game of keep away. At some point he is going to have to take some risks by settling down on his punches to engage.

He is not a fighting a washed up shot Klitschko, who couldn't touch him with a ten foot pole. He is a fighting a man who is much younger, athletic and faster than Wladimir who hits like a ton.

Once Wilder touches him, Fury will result back to his old style of holding and wrestling. Either way he wants to make it an ugly fight.

Kudos to Whyte and Chisora making an intelligent, thoughtful prediction. Boxers typically are the worse prognosticators when it comes to picking a winner. You can see it when you read this opinion.

First off, Wilder's stamina is not great... Fury actually has better stamina traditionally.
wilder has no skills to pressure the fight...Yet he has to land a big punch from the one hand that he can land it with, not the left... and Fury has to give him that opportunity.

What is to stop Fury from just avoiding the right all fight? And... Wilder has to not only catch Fury, he has to catch him enough to KO him. So for example, if Fury wins rounds and Wilder knocks him down, Wilder has to find a way to turn that into more than a 10-8 round.

I believe that a Fury who is at 65% or better is capable of avoiding Wilder's right, with his footwork, and catching Wilder with punches enough to win rounds in the fight.

Wilder will knock him out cold in less than 10 rounds

Fury can work primarily in camp on not getting KO'd, and most likely will effectively not catch a KO on fight night. But undoubtedly his offence will suffer. He definitely can avoid a KO because he's big skilled and awkward enough to avoid one, but that would turn this fight into one of those sizzling librarian style Klitschko hugfests......

If Fury doesnt come to fight and simply sticks around, Wilder will be the one winning on points! Wilder aint that bad a boxer to not win on points against a gunshy version of Fury.....Some fighters sole purpose is to come into a fight to skillfully avoid a KO - if youre a "pro" its more than possible.

But who can really gauge The Gypsy Kings ambition going into this fight? He can be more determined than we can imagine to win anyway possible.....I'm going with King Wilder though!

And yet another article where, amongst listing Fury's achievements and reasons for inactivity, the failed PED test and 2year suspension didn't get mentioned!

Things like failed PED tests can only be used to discredit AJ, not Wilder.

Get with the program!
