Comments Thread For: Bernstein: Fury Did Not Get Long Count, Wilder Rematch is 50-50

The one throwing Hail Marys all night can't improve. The boxer can adjust. Add that he couldn't finish him after that knockdown..in fact he was going backwards after it. If he couldn't finish him the first time, he's on slimmer pickings next time out. Time to move to acceptance

Well, then tell that to Fury's trainer Ben Davison; Who doesn't appear too keen on a Wilder/Fury rematch. Why? Is it because he is scared and knows his fighters limitations? If I was Wilder my confidence would be soaring through the roof right now because I know if I could drop and nearly finish him off the last time; I know that could very well do it again the next time but even sooner.

But you can for 11.5 rounds?

FWIW I didn’t see an awful lot of running around the ring to run the clock down. I saw Wilder get comprehensively outboxed.

Outboxed? In what way? Tyson Fury wasn't throwing shit. There were long stretches in that fight where Tyson wasn't doing shit but posing to the camera showboating and not throwing enough punches. You can't win the championship that way.

Yeah, mugging for the cameras shouldn't be a factor in scoring.

so your classing wilder as good as mike Tyson ? Is that what your saying mr Hagler ?

No, sir. Most definitely not. I'm saying the pure drama of both moments was quite literally epic. Tyson and Wilder can be favorably compared in that they both carry atomic bomb power, but that's about it. Obviously Wilder has way better boxing skills, ring craft and movement than a prime Iron Mike
