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

[Rusty Tromboni]

I'll admit as a Wilder fan that I was becoming a bit anxious through round five. In round six Ortiz began to look hittable and anticipation of the moment replaced my anxiety. It will be the same in the Fury rematch. Fury will appear to be taking Wilder to school right up to the round he gets caught. The fight will be a snooze-fest that ends abruptly.

Funny thing, when Wilder pressed the issue, Fury came alive and it was Beyonce on the back foot. SUre, he never hit the deck. But when Fury couldn't just make Wilder look ******, it was Fury's offense that took over.

117-110, son.

You guys talking up Fury here forgetting he looked like chit last fight and is now half pro wrestler half boxer

That’s probably still a vast improvement over the last time he fought Fury, when Fury was half obese retiree, half boxer.

See 35 and learn boxing

I can box AND I can see! But you obviously can't dance... because you would know Wilder's footwork, stance, head movement and overall ring generalship are horrible! Always have been, and most probably always will be.

So stop pretending you're an expert and acknowledge you still have a lot to learn, instead of calling people casuals.

punch stat don’t always tell the whole story in a fight .

That's true but missing what you are punching at shouldn't score points either. Had Wilder not knocked Fury down in the 12th round I'd have given the decision to Fury but I'd have been wrong because that ignores the earlier knockdown Wilder scored.

That is actually fair. However I will add that Ortiz probably should be top 10 across all orgs. Have you seen all orgs top 15? They are a complete laughingstock. Outside of the WBC Ortiz isn’t in the top 15. That’s because no one will step into a ring with him. I firmly believe he KOs all top 15 fighters across all orgs up to #5. Rankings today are a joke. During the Tyson era and before orgs typically had HWs ranked uniformally across the top 10 give or take a few positions of certain fighters. Today’s # 8 fighter within this alphabet soup org doesn’t make a top 50 in another.

It’s a complete and utter joke

I agree the rating are messed up but its fairly obvious to the fans who is in the top 10. To be fair Joshua wanted Ortiz when Miller pulled out but Ortiz declined and lied about how much he was offered, Bet he regrets turning down that fight now! I mean Joshua had all the belts Wilder doesn't have. He basically turned down AJ to get knocked out by Wilder a 2nd time. Surely AJ was always a safer bet than Wilder

Ellerbe: "Deontay has added things to his arsenal" Yes, I noticed that in lieu of any new/improved boxing skills, he now has the ability to do pretty much eff all for half a fight before finally landing a meaningful punch.
All that gym graft has paid off.

That’s funny he rarely gets hit so footwork and head movement seems to be working for him. In fact 40 KOs in 42 fights further demonstrates he in position to counter punch at EXACTLY the right time which further demonstrates his ring generalship is working just fine as well.

Any more points?

I could be wrong, I just don't believe that fight is happening in Feb. Negotiations will break down and it will end in both sides blaming each other.

Maybe, but i doubt fear will come into it. After all Wilder has 3 good results. Two wins over a forty year old with high blood pressure, and a draw against a guy who he floored but got up, a guy whod been floored by, among others, cruiserweight non puncher Cunningham. Now the hype is Wilder is the hardest puncher in boxing history. How the hell is this nonsense happening?

Fart Fury is not hittable like Ortiz just blocking punches.

Fury is not hittable, but was knocked 2 times by Wilder...don't be ****** my friend, Fury was seriously hurt in that fight, a bun like Wallin gave him a lot of problems...Fury loose something when Wilder hit him in that 12 round knock down...Wilder is going to kill Fury in february 2020...

41 knockouts y 43 fights say something to you...if you do not like Wilder, is your choice, but not acepta that he is the greatest hitter in boxing history is a ignorance...
