        He's only good at setting up his telegraphed big right. he paws with his left then swing his big right and if he misses, he swings his left. That's Wilder in a nutshell.
        it's better than simply moving getting plowed by jabs and right hands while only looking to load up from 1 right hand he can't beat Fury this way it's just to risky if he going to beat Fury he has to either jump on him with full pressure and dog fight him to ko or wear him down early consistently then go for that 1 combo ko late.

        Either way he can't go off 1 punch for 12rds he losing to many rds points and wasting to much time while doing so.

          I mistake his left uppercut for his hook but damn near the same thoe.

            The straight right to solar plexus is a shot Wilder should work on.

              Because he's in love with his right hand which tends to put anything it touches to sleep.

              He focuses on landing that one shot because if he does his opponent is going to sleep.

                Because he doesn't know how to and it's a complete shame.

                  Going to the body is an art on its own in boxing and you've to be skilled to be able to do it because it leaves the head open with the chin up and moves the boxer in range for a counterpuncher. The reason why Wallin was able to get to Fury's body is because he's skilled and Fury also was trying to fight like AJ - something he isn't good at. Fury was following through with his punches, because he was trying to KO Wallin and change the narrative of his pillowfist - something he's not good at. Wilder on the other hand isn't skilled and he commits his whole body when throwing punches. So he would've to deal with getting his face/chin smashed all night with Fury's right.

                  Another way to get to the body is on the inside. And in as much as Fury is terrible on the inside - he's far better than Wilder in that department. And I doubt Wilder wants that type of problem. He needs to just focus on his one-trick, use his jab and pray he catches Fury before the end of the fight.

                  Anyway, it's pointless since I don't see the both of them fighting until 2021. Those nasty cuts won't heal properly until at least 10-11months. And I don't see Fury risking that injury with any big puncher any time soon. Fury is going to take a long time off. Fury is Kell Brook status right now.

                    Like a smaller:




                    Wilder jabs to the body here and there sometimes, but yeah, not really his thing. Marciano didn't put much focus on the body either.

                      That involves strategy. And at this stage in his career, I don't think Wilder can be taught anything more than what he knows now.

                      He has two punches - a lead jab, and a looping right. That's pretty much it.

                      Ridiculous power, though.
