Comments Thread For: Roach is Critical of Corner Work of Fury's Coach in Wilder Fight

[McNulty]

I like that Ben was telling Fury that because I thought caution was the right side of the coin to be on. But I'm not a world class trainer and Roach does make valid points. Fury did have Wilder hurt like 3-4x throughout the night and he could have stopped Wilder. Once Wilder goes down, he's done for. He doesn't have an iron chin by any means. Put a crack on it and that's a wrap.

I think Ben saying don't take chances might be misinterpretated as I think Ben meant don't make any mistakes. The stuff about the other kid is interesting, possibly coincidence -- not sure here.

I think Freddie is correct. To me it looked like Wilder was in a bad place a few times in the fight and it appeared that he was hurt. It looked like Fury was going to take him out but then he'd take his foot of the gas and allow Wilder to recover. He was too cautious after he'd hurt Wilder with his offensive charges.

His comments were totally unnecessary!

Won't be the first time Freddie has talked too much.
