Comments Thread For: Ellerbe: Wilder Will KO Fury Within Five Rounds in Rematch!

[famicommander]

Why does everyone keep saying Fury took his best shot? He literally has taken Wilder's weakest and still almost died.

Wilder was hitting air for most of the fight and besides the 9th, dropped him with like a minute left in the 12th.. I'm sure there was a ton of steam missing at that point.

Wilder also came into that fight at the lightest he'd been since his debut fight.

He was much heavier against Breazeale and Ortiz.

I want to remember your post when Wilder finally finishes Fury. Fury head will touch that canvas, that's one thing for certain.
Mike Tyson, said it best, "sooner or later you're gonna get hit."
Just have your fingers crossed that Mr. Wrestler mania wakes up again.

Fury is going to walk through everything Wilder throws at him including the kitchen sink, force him to the ropes, and might actually kill him if the ref and both corners don't jump in to stop the carnage.

For 12 round he was hitting air against fury

Main reason was Wilder was looping the right hand. Pretty much the only time he threw it with a much straighter trajectory was in the 12th round and Fury didn't have enough time to duck under it as he had been doing before.

Fury's feints and herky jerky movements will give Wilder problems but if Wilder throws the right straighter this time Fury's in trouble. Wilder knocked out Ortiz with a short straight yesterday, something he'd never done in his career before.

You can tell the ones who don't watch the fights, but just look for the results. Wilder expended less energy and took less damage and got the KO faster. Why? He was more tactical. The goal is to win and win as soon as you can. He did that.

The claim of Fury not being match fit is old and played. He looked the same if not worse versus Wallin. The last 3 rounds of their fight found Fury getting touched. I expect that to continue as Wilder shortens and straightens his shots and doesn't go for the one punch KO early.

No one speaks common sense, they're all supporting a fighter because of his skin color or they're just fan boys who're on the bandwagon. Fury was 30% maybe when he faced wilder and still toyed with him like he was an amateur, which he is....he relies on one punch...he can knock down old people and bums but he could not do it against fury....fury got up after taking his hardest punch...now that he beat the fat old Cuban, he's all of a sudden the greatest HW?? He has no skills...he relies on one punch..but against fury that aint enough

I would disagree with you on one thing — Fury didn’t take his hardest shot. That was kind of a looping right and a decent left he took — the left being the harder shot. Fury has never been hit with Wilder’s best — being his straight right. That’s the punch that clipped the top of Ortiz’s dome, and the one that put Szpilka in an ambulance when it met his face flush.

I agree with you. I like Fury but he has not impressed me as of late. While Wilder keeps getting better. He has something in him of the old guys like Marciano and Louis, plus the Thor’s hammer right hand. Fury’s not going to beat him.

if the big dosser can't come up with someway to hurt birdlegs he goes out on a stretcher

I actually think Fury could stop Wilder in a rematch. Let`s get real, Wilder is a huge puncher, but Fury also hits harder than anybody else Wilder fought.

I agree 100 %, Fury actually can make adjustments I doubt he get's caught again like he did in the 1st fight.People forget he was inactive for what 3 years , lost a huge amount of weight fought 2 fights.Then stepped in there with Wilder and gave him a boxing lesson.Took Wilder's best shot and still got up and should have won a decision.

let me remind you that fury had 2 tune fighters before fighting wilder . Everyone makes it seem mike wilder was his first fight in 3 years . As far as taking wilders best punch , yes best lunch after 11 1/2 rds and barely beat the count by 1 second , and was wilder throwing crazy, if wilder is more calculated like he was last night and fury goes for the ko like he keeps saying he will do fury will suffer the same fate .

Made-up boxing factoid. Your analysis is a simple overstatement of the obvious, but you still don’t commit to picking a winner. “Fury boxes his ears off, unless Wilder KTFOs him.” Who wins??

If I had to pick in reality - I'd pick Fury.
If I had to bet - I'd pick Wilder because Fury literally won 10 rounds last time and still had a draw, so how can Fury get the W unless he wins every round and doesn't get dropped - I guess. Even then you will have Wilder fan boys in the media and online saying that the fight was close etc.

But I would not bet against Wilder even with fair judging period because he has the biggest equalizer I've ever seen in boxing history. He has legit one punch KO power and he hits as hard as he does in the first as he does in the 12th. Dude literally only needs to land one clean punch on any opponent.
