What stance will Fury box in most against Wilder?

[Vinnykin]

Lots of people sure about the outcome of this fight.... but how can you be when not even knowing the stance of one fighter?

Interesting video of Woodhall and Moore breaking down this fight which shows Wilder struggling with Ortiz, and even Fury being open to right hands.

Is Fury's best chance to keep distance in the southpaw stance until Wilder gets frustrated, then step it up in orthodox?

How will Wilder deal with a taller, mobile and rangier opponent in southpaw with great distance control... possibly switching stances every time they get in the corner or get tied up?

He'll stay mostly in southpaw if he knows what's good for him. Wilder has issues timing southpaws and he gets his feet crossed a lot when fighting a southpaw.

Also his punch output drops massively against Southpaws.

If Fury really wants to win this fight and not get KTFO then staying in Southpaw stance is the way to go.

I agree. I think Fury will control distance in southpaw and try to frustrate Wilder (who will look clueless early on and miss a lot).

I think he will box most of the fight in southpaw, but change after tie-ups in the corner or when turning the much smaller Wilder in the clinch.

I would say 80% southpaw.

Wilder will be patient then go all out in the later rounds and eventually land. Wilder always looks like he's "struggling" before he turns the lights off. Stance is irrelevant, he drops them all the same.

I don't think he should use that Roy Jones Jr dropping both hands stuff vs Wilder, Wilder is way too quick to do this against him...


Going to have to keep his hands up more vs Wilder

I mean he doesn't have to keep his hands all the way up. Fury needs that active guard to frustrate Wilder. If Fury is more comfortable with his hands at his waist he shouldn't try to change it imo. If it allows him to have more control over his opponent (Wilder) then it's more important than keeping your hands tucked to your chin. If Fury has full control over Wilder then it shouldn't matter how quick Wilder is...he won't be able to land.

If dropping his hands means making Wilder shoot the right and miss.... Fury will do it!

Look at the video and Wilder falling short with the right, then Ortiz landing his own counters.

Fury will do that every time. "make him pay" has been said numerous times by Fury in camp and in interviews.... Fury is gona counter him to death every time he misses and his shape goes to shiat! lol

Head and shoulder movement is a lot harder with a high guard. I expect Fury to fight in exactly the same way he fought Vlad. Wilder is fast but not accurate, neither is he a skilled combination boxer. If Wilder has any success it will be late on if Fury gets gassed.

[Warrior Scholar]

The times Fury has stood in combat range with Wilder leading up to the bout, I noticed he favored the southpaw stance when he got in range to throw a punch. I wonder though, if Fury will use his weight with Wilder on the ropes. If Fury picks angles and lands a corkscrew at range, Wilder will clinch more than likely rather than run and try to survive that way. Fury will probably headbutt or low blow, and the rest will be history. I expect quality Fury infighting - better than before. Im assuming he picked up on tips from Vianello, one of his big bear sparring partner who is a master at punching up close. He's like a hw porter.

Not just Wilder Quickness that makes dropping your hands but his wildness also makes it dangerous, hard to time him when he is wild like that. No saying a complete in style though, you stay with what works BUT he will have to mix things up a bit
