Comments Thread For: Roach Confident: If Wilder Walks Into Fury's One-Two - He's Dead

[HarvardBlue]

How is it that Roach won so many coach of the year awards but can't accurately predict a fight?

On what planet is Fury the bigger puncher. Bigger man, yes, but certainly not a bigger puncher.

Wilder has been outboxed before so I can see him saying Fury would win a decision but a KO win for Fury!

In the early rounds! Makes no sense.

If Roach sees it, believes it and speaks it...it’s goin to happen

You gon believe freddy "The Joke coach" roach?

It's possible.

If Wilder is overreaching as he can do, when his right legs ends up in front after throwing a right, he will essentially be falling into the counter and almost doubling the impact. You don't need to be a knockout artist to really hurt someone who can potentially fall right into a shot.

Pacquiao did similar with Marquez. Marquez barely needed any leverage on that shot because Pacquiao did most of the work. It just had to be a solid enough shot for him to jump into and catch him at the right moment of impact.

With Fury's reach advantage, Wilder might end up overreaching more than he ever has before.

Roach isn't ******. He see's that possibility.

If you believe its possible then go bet on it....LOL

Wilder has been outboxed by guys with tyrannosaurus rex arms. Wilder eventually caught up pmwith them late.
Fury has long reach so fury will potentially outbox wilder more than wilders ever been outboxed in this fight and the ko won't come this time for wilder.

The only thing D.Wilder has to adjust to is Fury's footwork then it could be lights out for Fury by a right from D.Wilder.

I will, no problem.

Fury actually has a higher KO% than Povetkin, Whyte and Parker. Many people consider them to be pretty good punchers. People who think he's feather fisted are just repeating what others day, typical sheep boxing fans. He's knocked guys out and made guys quit on their stool that supposed big punchers couldn't.

Wilder has never been countered properly by a man with a 3 stone weight advantage and has a decent KO%. The only man skilled enough to counter him was a 45 year old Ortiz and he did it once and nearly had Wilder out of there & saved by a cheating ref. Fury will counter Wilder time and time again, not just the once. He doesn't even need to be in Wilder's range to do it because he's much longer than Ortiz was. He can do it while being out of range and making Wilder overreach and Fury will just pick him off.

It'll be a brutal knockout by Fury. Or Fury will eventually trap him on the ropes with his big weight advantage and put his lights out like he did to Cunningham who weighed about the same as Wilder.

Wilder might be tall and has a good punch but once Fury roughs him up against the ropes, he will starch Wilder. Wilder hasn't got enough core strength and weight to get Fury off him if he smothers him.

This clown couldn't KO Seferi or Pianeta, now he's going to KO Wilder? Trying so hard to sell this fight.

before he became hollywood, his predictions were pretty much on point. after he became hollywood, he started making predictions based on his emotions, so even if he knows the guy he picked will lose, he will pick him to win just because he dislike the other guy. but if roach keeps it 100, he has a lot of knowledge.

[Calibaloc]

the excuses and alts will come out after the fight. Wait and see. People hate Wilder and will discredit him no matte what so expect idiotic dialogue afterwards...

[Liondw]

All the pre-fight talk is meaningless. Roach has to back the guy who's corner he will be in. He didn't think Pacquaio would get knocked out cold by Marquez and must have thought that wouldn't happen. Wilder is rightly the clear favourite but Fury is in with a chance.
