Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury Secures Freddie Roach To Be in Corner For Wilder

[juggernaut666]

ben davison dosnt have the experience or authority for this event and fury has finally recognised it. theres no way hes approached roach just to do cuts, hes there to run the corner.

Davison has worked with Hatton in Furys corner before ,Roach is simply taking the role of Hatton as a side guy but hes not the lead cornerman which only takes competence not rocket science.

Take for instance this forum, about 1% could MAYBE work a corner which requires knowing opponents weaknesses ,strengths and can see what has to be switched up before it happens and during . This would eliminate just about everyone on here bc they're a bunch of morons on here they just don't know it YET...lol


Ben Davison isn't one of them and is more knowledgeable then 90% of the so called experts out there. Fury is using Roach bc he's at his gym so why not.

No way of saying this without sounding like a douchebag, but if there's one guy in my corner who needs to have steady hands its the cutman.

I was thinking the same thing. Can't have a guy with shaking hands trying to close a cut on my eyes.

Wildher is a pathetic cherry picker and most of his KO were cruiserweight but he does possess serious punching power. Not good enough to knock out Duhaupas but still a serious power, especially compared to fluffy fisted Fury. I think Fury has got a better chance knocking Wildher out if he fists him from behind rather than the front.

That is only half of it. He is the most athletic HW in quite a few years. Very quick movement of forward foot.

Take a look at the KO of Stiverne. He closed a 5 foot gap in less than half a second and simultaneously threw a devastating straight right that was accurate enough to go right through Stiverne's guard and land flush on his chin or mouth.

Most HWs can only be that accurate when they have their feet planted. Wilder might not have seen Fury's feints before but neither has Fury come across a fighter as athletic as Wilder.

Wilder by KO from round 4 onwards.

You guys man. He is registered as the cut man to get him in the ring at this late stage. He won't be doing the cuts and I doubt there'll be any anyway. Fury will avoid Wilder until he doesn't and then there'll be a stoppage.

Yes he is very simple boxer, he can do one thing and one thing only but he's efficient doing it.

Brilliant move by Fury, adding experience like that to the corner, this is going to be a great fight, I hope Fury shows up and puts on the clinic like he is capable of. Wilder better be ready for a boxing lesson, of course should one of those windmills land, goodnight!

Pbc stoppage

None of Wilder´s windmill punches landed on Washington after the knockdown but the ref still stopped the fight although Gerald was punching back.

That is what is called the Pbc stoppage. Basically a fixed result.

Kind of a sick joke to ask Roach to be your cut man

Wilder is a fake. He couldn't knock out an in shape Stiverne, who at best was a C- list fighter.

He couldn't stop Duhappas, who took everything wilder had, until he gassed out. Povetkin destroyed duhappas.

Couldn't stop Molina clean, who walked through Wilder until he gassed out. Joshua made easy work of bum Molina .

Spilka exposed Wilder and even took his best shots until he got overconfident and walked straight in on a haymaker that makes a lucky punch an understatement.

Washington was buzzed but not hurt, the referee made sure to get that Pbc stoppage.

A shot washed up Areolla went 8 with Wilder despite being completely shot.

Wilder is what you call a hype job. A paper champ. So overrated and hyped up because he gives Haymon that Great African American Hope at heavyweight to bring in fans that haven't paid attention to HW boxing because the KLITSCHKO bros cleaned out all their brothers.

I mean what other gameplan could possibly work against Wilder. Take away that right hand bomb and he's got nothing. Way easier said than done since all it takes is one of those to get people outta there.

What I've noticed about Wilder and most of his stoppages is that he usually lands his bomb and the guy on the receiving end is either unconscious or their brain is temporarily disconnected. That windmill sh"t that comes after is most wild sloppy ass punches that either miss or just graze the guy. I noticed it especially in the Ortiz fight.

When you're hurt the way Wilder hurts people, referees generally get hyper alert and will stop fights off of simply activity.

Wilder's left hook is still a nasty shot, and Wilder does a good job of shortening his shots up to land close too.
