Comments Thread For: Wilder: I Know What Fear Looks, Smells Like; Fury's Scared

Fury scared of this bum, yeah right!!!!

i love how they would have sifted through it to find the best looking footage and that still included a ball hitting in in the face

Not that you can read much into a short clip, but the balance is actually awful. Look at how unbalanced his feet are the first time he ducks

I really can’t put too much stock into a 5 second clip.

That is funny as f u c k though. Hahahahahahaha.

I think at the least Fury is definitely worried, why else would he bring in Kox-Roach? He wasn’t there, and you didn’t need special instructions from an outsider in your previous fights. So it seems to me that team Fury is very concerned that the Basketball player is real!

I think Fury has got in his head enough that he’ll take chances and try and score an early KO. I wouldn’t be surprised if you saw Wilder go for it in Rd 1 to prove a point. He looks and sounds like he feels he’s not respected. What better way to shut everyone up than a KO1.

But Wilder’s team if they have any sense will be pushing for the late KO. They’re not worried about Fury’s power and Wilder will likely be outboxed either way, so better you let an unfit, ring rusty Fury wear himself out for a few rounds before going for a big finish late on.

If there’s that mental conflict come fight time it could play in Fury’s favour.

It may unfold the way you think it might but it won't be because Wilder's team wants to take the fight into the later rounds. Purposefully allowing Fury to win early rounds doesn't guaranty a KO in the late rounds and this strategy might result in a Fury decision. I think Wilder will be looking to put the whammy on Tyson from the start but not forgetting his boxing skills in the meantime. This will be a very intriguing fight to watch.

Well, im sure Fury is scared of losing or would prefer not to lose. Hes been out for 3 years and abused himself so he cant be complacent can he?
By hiring Roach hes giving himself the best chance. He hasn't taken a few more extra fights and a bit longer so hes short changed himself there. So you cant say Tysons scared other wise hed not have taken fight.

I bet a few ones on Fury between 7 and 12, on Wilder by decision, and on a draw. The ones who pay more, because I really can't say what will happen tonight.

I'm even uncertain about the fight being one to remember, or a total stinker.

Most of us probably (truth be known) feel the same way. I'm watching the fight on PPV because I hope it will be one to remember but at the same time I have this sinking feeling that I'm wasting my money.

It would certainly be a mistake if they already accept Fury might win early rounds.

Once Fury gets into a rhythm and flowing, you never really get him out of it. That would be the worst thing for Wilder.

He can't let Fury get too comfortable.

Lololololol.. that ball perforated his eardrum , hence the mask he wore for the weigh in

[Terrell1555]

I didn’t say he was scared! I said I think he’s at least worried. I agree with you that if he was scared he wouldn’t have taken the fight! He isn’t scary and besides I hate calling fighters scary or cowards. I think they weigh fights by risk and money not fear. Like clearly Spence and Jermall are being avoided. Not out of fear, but they are high high risk that their peers rather not take until they absolutely have to! Mickey Garcia is the exception not the norm.
