    Can Fury make in-fight adjustments as well as Wilder?

    Wilder adjusted the trajectory of his right hand shots to compensate for Fury’s head movement.

    Can Fury make adjustments accordingly? Or do you think Wilder has him figured out now?

    I disagree, it is Fury the more talented boxer that can make adjustments.

    I doubt Wilder can but his formula works until it doesn’t so I can’t wait until February and the fight happens!

    I also hope Wilder knocks Fury into 2021.

        Fury has shown good adjustments in his career

        Even against Wallin he couldn’t see from the cut, so felt it was better to fight up close where you can feel the opponents and not give them room, sometimes it’s harder to fight on the outside with one eye, even though you can risk making the cut worse with clashes up close.

        Even with Cunningham, I think he found it harder to get to grips with a cruiserweight when boxing, so he adjusted and started beating him up with size

          How do you know Wilder did that when they haven't fought yet? I am picking Wilder by KO because I think he can fight a better and smarter fight. He can study the film of the fight and see how he could improve and land his big shots more often. He can put more variety in his attack. All Fury can do is try to win rounds like he did before. I don't think Fury can improve nearly as much as Wilder can. Wilder hurt him badly in two different rounds last fight. I think this time Wilder will put him down for the full count. I think poor refereeing cost Wilder a sure KO in the last round. It made the Dempsey vs Tunney long count look like a short count.

            Fury didn’t make adjustments. That’s why Wilder caught him half way through and at the end of the fight.

            Wilder did better in the end. Fury did better starting up

              If Wilder made adjustments he'd have landed more shots. He got lucky.

                I think Fury is a great boxer, cardio for days, good chin, heart etc. But I agree with you in the sense that he does what he does and at best he can become more active but I don’t see him adjusting his style really. He’s not gonna try and become a power puncher or a counter puncher, course doesn’t mean he will ever have to. But Wilder vs Ortiz 2 seemed more of a change in style than Fury has ever shown. Fury being patient hoping for a big one punch KO doesn’t really make sense. Even against Wallin he just pushed harder later.

                  I don't think he has to really. On defense, when Fury was coming at Wilder, Wilder just stood his ground and put up a half assed high guard Fury punched right through. I reckon for Fury his main key to victory is output. Wilder likes to slow men down with his threaten posture/position game, but, Fury's so goddamn big he can give up offensive position and still get away with firing some decently weighed shots while maintaining a solid defensive position

                  Has Wilder figured him out? **** man, I didn't expect Tyson to go but four or five rounds in the first fight so what the **** do I know, but, I reckon the same again. This one won't take long because Tyson hasn't got a massive bag of tricks like Joe Walcott or some such. I think for Wilder he just needs to do what he always does except maybe this time don't give any respect for Tyson's offense and punch with him. Bring a touch more Foreman/Marciano to his game. Not the output of Marciano. I don't think Wilder needs that, but the absolute indifference to his opponents' offense would be nice. Punch with Tyson because he(Wilder) can't or didn't guard or move worth a **** against him the first go. If Wilder punches with Fury I don't think Fury has a snowball's chance in hell.

                  We'll see.

                    Man why does anybody think that all Wilder needs to do is land and he wins?

                    He landed once (actually a 3 punch combo) in the last fight (12th round)..and what happened? Fury got up and rocked him back and had Wilder on ***** street.

                    So unless you guys think Wilder can KO him with one pinch or even knock down, he's going to have to get a fair few KDs to win.

                    The way I see the rematch going is actually all on Fury. Fury is a gypsy at the end of the day and will never have the full discipline... dedication yes, but not discipline. In the last fight Fury was up basically 10 rounds to 1 going into the 12th against a power puncher, and was silly in not just dancing and cruising the last round.

                    So my question in the rematch is all about Fury? If he is 100% dedicated and 100% disciplined, then he wins again.
