Comments Thread For: Fury's New Trainer: A Knockout of Wilder is Part of Rematch Plan!

[BoxOfficer]

People seem to forget there was a time mid-fight in the first one that Fury caught Wilder with THREE straight 1-2's in a row.

Round Seven. But I wouldn't be surprised if one of those idiotic judges still gave that round to Wilder. Round 10 was similar to round 7.
Fury's best two rounds by a mile.

I’m really looking forward to this rematch - still fairly sceptical it happens in February for some reason though!

[Dariusz]

Fury is rather incapable of knocking Wilder out. Moreover, I also doubt if the rematch will happen soon, if ever.

[Toffee]

He's a massive guy. Of course he can hurt him and of course he can stop him.

He won't, though. I can't see why he would put himself in a position to take one back off Wilder. That's exactly what Ortiz did in their first fight. Fury's 6'9" and has the reach advantage. He's not going to give that up.

And, of course, the fight's not happening.

Some people are highly delusional. Fury was not able to KO Otto Wallin. He looked really bad in his last fight. (Wallin on 63 position in Pro Boxing Ratings) Or do we want to talk about Tom Schwarz?

"Fury has ZERO wins over any of the top 10 heavyweights! Since coming back from a 2 1/2 year layoff, Fury has beaten these fighters:
Otto Wallin
Sefer Serferi
Francesco Pianeta
Tom Schwarz
Those are tune-up heavyweights, and not elite level guys." (Draw vs Wilder - let's count again to 10...or 12....or 15)

Simply incredible how the media and non boxing people "selling" Fury.... He will KO Wilder? Based on a new trainer? His wrestling experience or his talks about UFC? The reality talks very diffrent language...

[P4Pdunny]

is this fight happening in Feb?

People seem to forget there was a time mid-fight in the first one that Fury caught Wilder with THREE straight 1-2's in a row. If he had even enough power to buzz Wilder, he would've had him in all sorts of trouble mentally and physically there.

Like someone else said, he's clearly not going to deliver a one-punch KO, but could hurt him and build on that for a stoppage potentially... Especially if Wilder starts loading up and missing.

I think he also hurt him a little bit at the end of round 1.

Mark my words, Tyson CAN knock out Wilder (no, not with one punch, but he could get the stoppage).
BUT, he HAS to fight like Nigel Benn fought Gerald McClellan. Not making light of the end result for McClellan. But Nigel came in there focused and dare I say it, scared. After all, McClellan WAS the Deontay Wilder of the middleweight division, except he got most of his KO in the first round.

After Benn took a heavy knockdown in the first round of their fight, it looked like he’d be another notch on McClellan’s gun, but got up and fought like he was fighting for his life in some back alley against a killer. Nigel utilized great head movement and just entire upper-body movement. He threw quick, sharp, punishing hooks from a low crouch. He did what it took to win.

Similarly, Tyson can rest assured the right hand of Wilder WILL land once or twice in their rematch. But if he MOVES his head (unlike Ortiz) he has a good chance of the right hand not landing FLUSH.

If I was Sugar Hill, I’d make Tyson watch the first fight as well as the Benn-McClellan fight at least fifteen times.

Nigel was a beast of a puncher himself, which Fury isn't, and McClellan was coming up in weight not like Wilder, he already was a heavyweight.

Change in trainers now, will result in a fight worse then the Wallin one and a disaster, plus the cut he suffered can reopen in any second during the fight.

Not super big fan of Wilder, but its not a secret that his punching power is super scary, not 100% focused and Fury will be on the floor.

[2Shotz]

Why would you punch with a SERIOUS puncher (KO artist) like Wilder. Seems like a recipe to get slept.

[Roberto Vasquez]

Fury only chance is KO of Wilder but he has no chance of getting it. He claimed last time "My mistake was trying to KO Wilder in final round"

Also every fight Fury says he will walk down and KO the guy he is fighting and eveyr fight he runs and boxes because he can't really do anything else.
