Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury Adds Stitch Duran To The Team

All these Wilder clowns were saying exactly the same **** before the first fight.

Deontay gonna KO him doe!!

Bunch of casuals, don't know **** about boxing.

1hourRun will disappear for another 6 months again like the ***** he is.

I learned nothing.

Deontay Wilder by KO mid rounds and it ain't even that difficult, my exact prediction as last time.


You know, Walcott in the second fight was up by 9, so was Charles. Hmmm......guess it just gives me an excuse to believe. Either way, we've 12 more to see a 13 or 14 second KO.

Because getting put to sleep or having a gash bigger than a whore's **** on your face is not ground to stop a Fury fight.

Fury will beat Wilder more convincingly this time, Box his head off again, rough him up and lean all his weight on him, Wilder will tire and The Gypsy King will stop him late on!

That's not impossible. But consider the bookies odds

Fury points - 11/8

Wilder KO - 12/8

Fury KO (9/2) = 34/8

i'm going for a Wilder KO. Wilder only has to do one thing right for one second. Fury has to do several things right (movement, feinting, distance) for 36 minutes.

[Roberto Vasquez]

I think Fury knows he will lose this fight. He has had no good preperation by fighting those bums and he switched his trainer.

Wilder at least fough decent fighters in Breazeale and Ortiz and he knows he wasted a lot of rounds last time by doing things that didn't work. Now he knows what to do to win

Wilder to win by stoppage in 8 rounds

agreed, when a boxer hires a cutman you know it's out of fear and he's gonna lose

Well not necessarily

That's one way to interpret it. Another is to infer that he is preparing well.

I always like to ask "what is the worse case scenario?" and "can I accept that?"

But Fury might be asking himself, what is the worst thing that can happen (other than death/injury/stoppage) ?

Probably high on the list is re-opening of the cut or a new cut. Can he live with blood running into his eyes? No! It would restrict his vision and reduce his reaction time. A disastrous scenario against most boxers but especially Wilder.

So what can he do about that? >>Hire the best available cutman.

I guess there is some fear of the cut reopening , which in reality is common sense and hiring Stitch is no mistake
But hiring Sugar Hill , who is an offensive minded trainer ( ko 101 ) that leads me to believe that he has some kind of fear that he needs to be much more offensive towards Wilder
Not so much that but the short period of time he has to work with him can be a major distraction
Also , why all the changes when he says it’ll be easier this time around
Obviously there is some kind of fear

This guy Duran work my favorite fighters corner for many years, Vitali Klitschko.

[alexjust]

Even Duran won't be able to patch up Fury if Wilder opens up the cut.

P.S. I know a win is a win, if you win within the permitted rules, but won't we respect Wilder more, if he said he wouldn't target Fury's obvious weakness because he was confident he would win in any event? I guess I apply way too stringent and old-fashioned expectations to today's boxers. Honor-shmonor...bling and win!

Great choice, Stitch is great and a great human being.

[Mazukan]

Stitch is such a shameless self promoter. I’ve never seen a cutman try to get his face and brand to as much tv camera exposure as possible than Stitch.

[Curtis Harper]

Well in his defense, he thought he won the fight very clearly in his head and still came away without the belt. He perhaps senses some weakness in wilder when he clipped him a few times in the 12th and has decided to take matters into his own hands. Personally, I think Fury looks ungainly as heck coming forward but i'd still love to see him and Wilder square off in the middle of the ring Fury actually boxes quite well on the inside, it's him getting to that point that he will need to be careful with!

They may both be too long to do quality business on the inside. I hope Fury feels trading with Wilder is the best game plan
