I disagree to an extent. Fury did get dropped twice and was a split second from being counted out. The rematch makes sense for both sides. I see it as a playing with fire thing and expect Wilder to knock out Fury in the rematch but we'll see. The longer you put yourself in danger the higher the risk of knockout is.
Exactly. Great learning rounds for wilder too. If he can handle fury, a stiff stationary AJ will be a walk in the park for him.
They both have a chance it was a thrilling encounter the first time and styles make fights it will be just as enthralling the second time round. Tyson Fury performed magnificently after quite a while out with both weight and mental health problems. Deontay Wilder demonstrated his punching power with devastating effect. It’s clear both have taken a lot from the first bout however it was scored, I would expect Tyson to come in alot stronger with much better conditioning and closer to his potential and Wilder I would expect better prepared from a tactical and game plan perspective and perhaps a little heavier as he is giving away too much weight.
I think that wilder will be the one under pressure in the second bout because relying on knockout power alone is a dangerous recipe and could push him into becoming over zealous in the later rounds as he sees his chances to win dwindling. Tyson Fury totally schooled this guy practically the whole fight and I personally think his conditioning let him down. Wilder projects too much with his wild swings and that can give you the time to cover, defend and counter. I can see it going either way simply because Tyson Fury doesn’t have knockout punching power and as a result of not having the capability of putting wilder to bed means the danger of Wilders one punch knockout remains till the last second of the 12th round. Wilder probably feels he has 12 rounds to knock out Tyson and as he has no versatility in his punches he will have to rely on a knockout as he surely cannot win on points.
It doesn’t get much better than this spectacle these two are a fantastic match. Personally I would like Fury to win because it’s a magnificent story and I think he is probably the most skilful heavyweight boxer in a very very long time. If only he had one really good punch he would be absolutely untouchable as it is between Fury Wilder Joshua it’s hard to set them apart.
Let the boxing �� begin ...
In my opinion, Wilder needs to focus on two things that were for the most part absent or at least inconsistent in the first fight. A jab and body shots. Forget hitting Fury's head until past the halfway point in the fight. The KO will be there.
