Comments Thread For: Finkel: Wilder Was Too Anxious, Too Focused on Getting a KO

[EasternEuroFan]

Andre Ward called this... No way they fight Fury again. He beats Wilder easier in a rematch.

Yeah, they say the boxer usually does better in the rematch.

And that's not even factoring in that Fury will go into it being more active and off the back of good fights, not coming off a 12 month fat camp and given two bums just to fight to keep busy while losing weight.

He will get an even better and sharper Fury next time.

Same here. If this fight doesn't convince Wilder to hire some new trainers then I don't know what will. It was frustrating watching him throw the same punch over and over, round after round and missing badly. If he mixed it up and gave fury more to watch out for and keep him guessing, he probably lands that right more often than he did.

He's 34 next year. Not old for heavyweight but he kind of is what he is now. I don't see how he can dramatically improve much going into his mid 30's with 40 odd fights behind him.

If anything, he's more likely to decline.

Fury broke him with mind games before the fight and then completely outboxed him all night.

He didn't even need the mind games, Wilder is just a horrible boxer so it would be the same result either way

Of course they both do . Wilder is a belt holder that goes without saying.

It works both ways Joshua has the offensive artillery to sleep Wilder too and I feel he is better equipped to deal with Fury than Wilder is. Not necessarily saying he would win but he wouldn’t look as sheepish as Wilder and predictable

ok, so I guess there's nothing further to debate

The same way no one gave Fury a chance before the fight and he emerged the winner the same no one will give Joshua the chance but he would win Wilder; not in the US though. Got a lot of thieves over there #STAPLESGATE

Fury doesn't deserve a rematch, and likely won't get one. Wilder is still the champ and now has bigger fish to fry. Fury had his chances, Wilder was there to be beaten and he couldn't capitalize. This is the fight-game, not goodwill... team Wilder is not obligated to give Fury any handouts.

I didn't look at it that way. At the end of the day Fury doesn't have a belt even though he put up a hell of a fight. All Fury had to do was grab and hold in that last round or use his movement and the draw would never have happened. This would have been the perfect comeback. But Wilder should look at switching trainers and making the fight with AJ.

Yeah he is a bit obsessed with KO's which makes him very Vulnerable of getting out-boxed but avoiding his power for all 12 is basically impossible. Fury is Slick and his stamina was outstanding last night and he still got clipped. No other Heavyweight get up from that!

Fury was playing around that’s why he got clipped. I think a fully focused and better conditioned version of him does the job.

He almost K/O the best mover in the division.
Some can even say Fury was given a long 10 count.
Wider is a puncher and that’s what he resorted to when he was getting out classed in the middle rounds.
Sure teach him how to set up his punchers better but no-one now id gonna be able to teach him how to box.
I think he beats stiff Joshua.

Yeah maybe, no other Heavyweight moves or is as skilled as Fury lucky for Wilder
