Comments Thread For: Wilder: If Fury Can't Be Beat, Why The F*** Did He Hire Roach?

[FaustoGeraci]

Ben Davidson is a joke of a trainer. He's basically a boxercise coach who'd be better served teaching phys ed to middle schoolers or something. Fury bringing in Roach isn't a bad idea but I think its too late to make a difference.

I don't buy that at all. Fury has trained long enough that he knows how to box. Davidson seems like he's good at breaking down tape and has Fury motivated, confident and comfortable.

He sounds like he's trying to convince himself. A ***** in the mental armour? Fascinating.

I think Fury bringing in Roach at last minute says otherwise. Either way the trainer won't matter, Fury is getting knocked out.

Regardless of the trainer, Fury's unorthodox, quirky, oft-feinting style is going to have Wilder flummoxed for the vast majority of the fight.

Wilder has great attributes that have him where he is, but Fury's going to have him off balance, reacting to feints, following him around the ring trying to land one big punch. If Fury's conditioning is what it was for the Klitschko fight, this will be a more exciting version of Klitschko-Fury, but that fight was no fluke and Wilder's trainers can see it in trying to develop a gameplan for him.

Wilder's going to have to constantly press and employ a dedicated body attack because while Fury's on the move, it's going to be a nightmare for him to land anything clean to the head.

I take it that the only fight you have watched Fury in is his pathetic fight with Wlad? Omg WTF is happening to this board? It's like 3/4 of the posters are a bunch of kids posting nonsense, and those that aren't are trolling.

Fury makes his opponents look bad with his style and size. Very complicated test for Wilder in my eyes.

Deontay can win a décision if the fight goes the distance, he have the power and speed's for confused Tyson all night.

Big fight, i'm realy looking forward

I pick The Bronze Bomber by KO inside 9!

It sounds like you're describing yourself in that post

[umop-ap!sdn]

Lol Wilder shook af hahaha. He knows he's in for a long night thinking Fury is well in his head now.

Seems like the opposite in my opinion. Fury may be trying to get into Wilders head but a reaction like this shows me Wilder is not buying into the bull. He actually flipped this one on Tyson brilliantly as instead of acknowledging what Roach can bring to the table, he addressed the fact that Fury is making changes to his team so soon before the fight. Its like hes not confident enough to try to win with who got him there and feels he needs Roachs level of expertise to pull off a win against Wilder. Deyontay appears as confident and sure of himself as he ever has been.

Roach got that exp against black fighters esp losing

[MisanthropicNY]

Wilder is nervous that Roach is going to expose his flaws easily. Roach has been game-planning against some of the best fighters in history, and that Windmill approach is so easily exposed. Luis Ortiz was ready to expose Wilder until the ref saved him. Wilder isn't as a big of a puncher as people think. I've seen him have to go 10 with Luis Ortiz and go 12 with Stiverne..and those goes aren't on Fury's level.
