Comments Thread For: Wilder vs. Fury Rematch To Be Officially Ordered By The WBC

[koolkc107]

It'll be in Vegas.

One of the casinos will come thru with a big phat site fee Wilder and Fury can split and that will be that.

See y'all in May...

So I've read the press release and it doesn't say they've ordered a rematch. They've sanctioned it, which means Wilder can either fight his mandatory, Fury, or a unification fight with Joshua.

So not much has changed?

Or does the "ruling which will also consider the mandatory status of the division" have a few caveats in it?

that's how I saw it

Joshua is a unification, so that fight is fine

now Wilder can also proceed with a Fury rematch without having any mando problems

who is Wilder's mandatory, do you know ?

and, has it been ordered yet ?

For those of you out there that think Wilder was given a gift with a draw, think for a moment about what could have been, and should have been...

Fury was on his back, motionless, eyes closed. 99% of the time if the ref sees that after a big punch, they don't kneel down next to them and start yelling out the count in "case" they wake up. Props to Fury for doing so, but I am just saying it should have been called and no count should have been started.

Did the ref kneel down beside Khan when Canelo knocked him unconscious? No. They just called it. Just sayin....

but..... you're wrong, because.....
..... Fury got up, and the fight was ruled a draw

stopping the fight would have denied him that chance

and when he got up, Fury went straight back to work

the ref should allow the fighter every opportunity to get back on his feet, and then make a ruling

Thats because Fury fights like a mental patient with his herkey jerkey style. Fury is extremely unorthodox. I think Wilder settles down in the next fight and finally hits him with that Alabama slamma. Fury almost didn't get up from that last knockdown where most refs would've waved the fight off.

Now the Fury knows that Wilder gets desperate with the powershot just time him up and lean that weight on him in the later rounds....

Breazeale.

*But that's the very point.*

Tyson doesn't need to improve on anything other than better conditioning. On the other hand Wilder would need to be an entirely different fighter than he's been his whole career.

At this stage Wilder might be able to improve little things but it's not enough. It would take years and years of training to fix the fundamentals Wilder is missing. If he can't knock you out he'll lose every time, he's a punchers but that's it

Your post seemingly assumes that Fury didn't almost take a long nap in the 12th. What's to say that doesn't happen in the 5th or 6th? What's to say he gets up from the next shot.

Fury likely will have similar if not better conditioning. Wilder likely will just throw different types up punches when he goes on the attack.

Should have been? There's no rule saying that. The ref followed the rules and Fury finished the fight, so no it shouldn't have been. What's the ref kneeling got to do with anything did that affect the outcome in any way?

The thing is, if Wilder somehow uses his brain and follows the game plan, attacking the body and being more patient will get him the KO late. Forget head hunting fool! I said before they fought the first time he needs to utilize the jab and go to the body or he will lose.

I love this ! When I hear you criticising Wilder I definitely know he has fought a bad fight. Wilder fans are finally beginning to see what the rest of the world saw in him. Yes he has unbelievable power and he is athletic but that power means absolutely nothing if he gets in the ring with anyone that has ring IQ. Fury got complacent in the last round otherwise that WBC belt would be in a caravan in Manchester and I would be writing you saying I told you so.
