    Could Fury's cuts give trouble him vs Wilder.

    As bad as those cuts were will they be 100% and as good as new by February. Or do they reopen quickly.
    A lot boxers get cut in training then they reopen during the fight. Chavez vs DeLahoya is an example of this. George said Chavez was cut in training and never healed.

    Hard to tell but whether a cuts happened before or not its always a possibility to be cut in a fight. so whether or not the scar tissue has healed is the real question im guessing it'll be fine but look for wilder too target that area early on.

      I honestly don't expect it to be a big deal. If Wilder lands well enough to open it, even if it's just grazing shots landing, Fury isn't winning regardless of the cut.

          No. Cuts are problematic against volume punchers. Wilder isn't a volume puncher.

              Yes, and here's why:

              1. Psychological edge

              Now that Wilder has been through 12 rounds with Fury, he knows that his punches can't faze him. In the rematch he will take more risks and throw a lot more punches. Fury won't be able to slip all of those punches, and that will show on his face.

              2. Health

              Going into the first fight, Wilder was sick with the flu and weighed a career-low of 212 lbs. on the scales. This weakened his energy, speed, and his ability to throw a high volume over the course of the fight. If Wilder weighs in at a healthy 220+ lbs., he's going to have a lot more firepower.

              3. Training

              His team has had over a year to analyze the first fight and help him fix mistakes in the gym. He's had a lot of sparring, and two tough training camps for Breazeale and Luis Ortiz II. He's consistently competed at a higher level than Fury in the 12 months since the first fight.

                Scar tissue is never a good thing when it comes to boxers. Some guys even have scar tissue around their orbitals removed. As far as re-opening, that's not so much an issue as the fact that he may be prone to getting cut. Those Grant gloves use very stiff leather that cuts people real easy. you can graze the thumb area by the side of the face to open a cut. I found this out by accident but I suspect some fighters have done it on purpose.
                Wilder's bigger problem is landing clean punches though so it'll be an intriguing fight.

                  I don’t think it’s as much as a problem vs wilder as it would be against a Joshua or Joyce.

                  Wilder doesn’t usually cut people. His punches don’t usually cut you. Even if they get knocked out they faces are clean. I think it’s because of the size and shape of his hands and the way he holds them. If they are large hands the force will be spread more evenly and can shake your skull enough to cause concussion or knockout but since his hands aren’t small or dense or ridged, I think that’s why you never see him cutting/damaging people.

                  His opponents usually look fine after they wake up. Like they just woke up from a nap.

                    Exactly true

                    When’s the last time you saw someone cut up after fighting Wilder?

                    Only one I can think of, is Duhaupas when the fight was waived off, but that was only cause his titanium chin enabled him to take about five straight Wilder right hand bombs and not go down.
