If Wilder doesn’t knock out Fury, can he win a decision?

[R-Hand Southpaw]

It all depends if Fury decides if he wants to fight or not. You are not going to take a champion's title away by running out the clock each round, without engaging and not getting hit like he did against Wladimir Klitschko. Tyson is going to have to take some risks in order to win this fight.

If Wilder is the one do the engaging by being the aggressor and coming forward while fighting off the front foot and all Fury is doing is moving around the ring fighting off the back foot and throwing only light arm punches to avoid getting hit; Then yeah Wilder will win on the scorecards.

I would definitely like to respectfully disagree with this.

The narrative matters now apparently in boxing more than ever and if Wilder cant hit Fury hes gonna lose. Especially with no KDs.

Check out recent example of GGGvsCanelo 1 and 2.

Oh. GGG is a ko machine. Always coming forward blah blah blah, narrative. But then when he decides to fight off his back foot, its automatically running, and he automatically lost. It's not showing skill, its losing.

And that's despite the fact that Canelo LITERALLY ran around the ring the first fight and GGG was a far more effective aggressor.

And then see the best example of this in Mayweather.

100% you can run a marathon, tag your opponent with a few punches and win.

If Fury doesnt get KOed or KD multiple times, no chance in hell wilder wins.

The major difference is in those two scenarios are both Canelo and Mayweather were the A sides in those bouts and now so is Deontay Wilder. He is fighting on his home soil. Had GGG/Canelo I would have occurred on Golovkin's home soil of Kazakhstan, he would have easily won that fight on all three of the judges scorecards.

Wilder isn't that good a boxer. He has been behind on points before when he scored a KO. Fury is a better boxer than Wilder and if Wilder doesn't win by KO then I think Fury wins by UD.

Fury’s keys to victory are his height and reach advantage, which Wilder has never faced before. If Fury can keep distance for 12 rounds he has a shot at a decision win, but I think Fury is going to get rocked hard in this fight.

Wilder has been outboxed by Polish midgets and ex football players.

No chance of winning a decision, unless via robbery.

Deontay is like barely the A side. He might be on American soil but he won't outbox Fury who is most likely 100% gonna want to go 12 rounds.

He didnt look good against ortiz who is more technical than him until his KO. Fury is taller and is just as if not more technical than ortiz. Hes a long counterpuncher who is gonna sit on the outside using movement.

If wilder did happen by decision I would be amazed but pretty damn skeptical especially if Fury looks in form.

But well see. Imo it's either wilder by KO or Fury by UD. There are no other choices.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

Fury is too slick for wilder, wilder only play here is to stop fury.

[DuckAdonis]

I think only a robbery or if Tyson goes down a few times

[Madison Boxing]

With american judges yes

There be at least two knockdowns over 12 long rounds. So that's a couple 10-8 rounds right there. Plus we all know Fury use his legs more than his hands, as shown by the low punch output in the Klitschko fight. IF Fury is still on his feet by round 8, Deontay gonna let them hands go. Fury will simply be outworked and in very bad shape by rounds 8 - 12. Whether its a knockout or decision, Wilder gets the win.

Exactly this. That may be when Wilder is at his 'best' is when he is desperate! I'm going for a Round 9 or 10 Wilder win by KO.
