Comments Thread For: Roach: Fury Bigger Puncher Than Wilder; Could Score 1st-Round KO

Punch Drunk

True to form, as soon as someone involves Freddie Roach in a fight and he is given the opportunity to speak.....the boxing world receives unwanted dose of ******ity.

Just Kidding!

Freddie Roach is a great trainer and I believe he doesn't believe for one minute that Fury is a harder puncher than Wilder. If he did I'd be convinced that all those punches to the head had finally caught up with poor Freddie

If fury throws 20 punches in a round, only 1 of them will be with 100% bad intentions just so his opponent knows he can hit hard and keep them honest. They’ll be thinking when will be the next time he throws one that hard keeping them guessing.
But fury is bigger so not surprising if his punches are as meaty

Freddie playing the game and taking his money on this one. Being brought in as a cut man , I wouldn't want him shaving me in the barbers , would you ?

Roach must be drinking some of Pac's special shakes. The guy is damn near senile.

[Redd Foxx]

Wilder is so dangerous though. I can see Fury hurting Wilder, seeing Wilder do the stanky leg, Fury jumps on him trying to get the stoppage and then Wilder catching him with a swinging windmill.

This is why i love this fight, anything could happen!!

Exactly. That's why I like both guys. Both are susceptible to getting tagged but both have great recovery and big hearts that find a way to win.

He's done this for years though and and what Freddy always does is tell you which guy he likes better. That's all there is to it. He picks ludicrous underdogs if he knows the guy. He tells us Rhonda rousey would beat Mayweather in boxing.

Freddy knows he's talking bullshyt but he doesn't give a damn.

Imagine Tyson Fury setting his feet wide apart, his body literally horizontal to his opponent... basically throwing a punch like Wilder.

It's all in the technique. Fury won't set himself to punch like that and throw away his defensive structure or off balance like Wilder does.... he also won't come off his feet when he does and load up like Wilder.

Hard to say who punches harder unless we measure them on a machine..... I'd go with Fury, punching stepping in and from a standing position. Wilder's technique is built for power punching while Fury is more on his toes and moving laterally, which makes it harder to generate power.

Fury will disarm the bombsquad in this fight. He won't be bale to set his feet and get his power shots off accurately, this is going to be really funny.

Wilder was out on his feet against Ortiz. That's heart not chin. And he's got tons of heart.

However, Tyson has as much heart as Wilder and definitely better boxing skills. Hopefully Tyson knows to rely on his boxing skills and not fall prey to seeking the KO.

Bodywork, elusiveness, and a well-timed jab will frustrate Wilder and make him loopy and open to getting hurt once desperation sets in

If wilder lasts to the 12th round then that's when desperation will set in. This idiot thinks he can just land one punch and the fights over. 39 bums he beat has made him and his casual fans believe there is a great power there that doesn't exist.

Theres a reason Deontay didnt fight Wlad.

That wasnt some accident
