Comments Thread For: Wilder Fully Expects To Rip Open Fury's Cut During Rematch

[Mooshashi]

We're not talking about the punch that concussed him. We're talking about the punch that put him down. The right hand was clearly the reason he was going down & the left hook landed as he was already gonna hit the canvas. Pretty sure both those shots concussed him. You can't tell me the left hook did more damage coming from a guy who only throws it after he lands a right hand. Dude never uses his left for anything that's not a range-finding jab. If he's ever seriously hurt/ taken somebody out with his left hand plz lmk.

My comment was to counter the idea from other posters that Wilder "doesn't use his left". That powerful left hook was pretty good, as I'm sure you will agree.

wow thats great fan fiction. he was unconscious now? no, he actually died for 15 seconds(which is how long the count was right?)

Fury actually did die. He rose from the dead, and has been Zombie Fury ever since.

Fury is cooked, Wilder will turn off his lights like it’s bed time!

No undertaker this time around!

BWaHaahaHA!!

Looks can be deceiving. Fury danced and pranced and flicked a lot of punches and that looked good. The results though didn't match the picture Fury was painting. I know punch stats are not the Holy Grail of boxing but they are a measure of whose hitting who the most. In any event the rematch if it happens should be interesting to watch and if Fury will go "Mexican" again it will be entertaining as well.

Agree that he did do a good bit of his usual prancing around & showboating. But he only does all that when he is making his opponent miss a lot & I remember seeing Wilder missing a ton of right hands throughout most of the fight & getting popped with little potshots throughout most of the fight. When he did land it, it did the usual damage it does. Highly doubt Fury will change it up & put himself in harms way against a guy can end the fight with one shot. The second fight will most likely be a carbon copy of the first one imo. Hopefully Fury will find a way to be a little more active without being reckless to try & sway judges a bit more in his favor.

Wilder could use a new trainer to help teach him some new techniques, fundamentals and mechanics. He is not too old to learn.

Just take a look at Lennox Lewis and Wladimir Klitschko's careers. They continued to evolve and develop even as professionals.

Manny Steward changed them both into complete fighters. Both had gone from being pure sluggers into patient boxer/punchers.

The very same can happen to Deontay Wilder if he can get a new trainer to add a some new wrinkles to his game.

There is a sparring partner Dorset Barnwell that has sparred FUry, Dubois and Wilder. He said he was most surprised by Wilder because he spars completely different than he fights on fight night. He say he has head movement, jabs and body punches. So it sounds like he knows how to do it, he just has to be put in a situation where he has to do it.

I agree. If Wilder was more of fundamentally sound and complete fighter he could possibly be in the conversation of one of the best or the best Heavyweight to have ever done it.

I agree it was a powerful shot. No denying that. Just saying the only time I see him using his left is when he's jabbing before or a follow up hook after a right hand. The right is all he cares about landing bc he can destroy planets with it so he doesn't make the left more of a factor.

And he should, he should throw the jab religiously, and he should work on the left hook just as much. He will need more than just a right hand...and he has to go to the body as well. Wilder had a very bad habit of waiting for openings, just looking at his opponent and posing....he has given away countless rounds with that extremely bad habit. It is the most annoying habit in all of boxing and he employs it as if it’s stapled to the side of his head......I often find myself yelling “throw some damn punches knucklehead” at the tele

good post...i agree...and i do the same when watching him "throw something" LOL

youd think at some point one of these times hes going to run out of time...but he always seems to find a way to land a big one....but id hate to see him run out of time and lose a fight because of what you said...

No offense but if you are talking about the left hook landed just before Fury hit the deck in the 12th, it was very weak and poorly thrown. Watch the slo-mo of that punch again and see how Wilders arm bends backwards on impact. If Wilder turns that hook over and throws it properly, Wilders arm stays rigid and Fury goes nightly night.
