Comments Thread For: Joshua: Tyson Fury Came So Close, He Won't Let it Go This Time!

Interesting point of view. I see it as Wilder takes a long time to warm up, Joshua's knockout record is second only to Wilder's.
If it takes Wilder 6 or 7 rounds to get his timing and distance right (as it usually does), he simply won't be there long enough.

People forget how hard AJ punches. Those who have faced both AJ and Wilder have said that they are different but comparable in punching power.
AJ is a lot better than Ortiz who Wilder has struggled with. He wouldn't just get rocked as with Ortiz in those rounds he would be unconscious.

As for Fury, he is just too evasive. I can't see AJ getting to him with a big punch.

I think Fury gets hit way more than people mention and I just think AJ would catch him at some point.

I do agree with the AJ punching power. People mention that if Wilder hits AJ its lights out and thats prob true but I think the same if AJ catches him also.

I thought Fury won by 2-3 points last time it was fairly clear though Wilder got two knockdowns and there were a couple of close rounds.

But researching that fight, it seemed to be "in the air" for it to be Fury's night, and he couldn't convert.

I expect a worse Fury this time and a slightly more patient wilder, I think Fury switching trainers this close to a big fight is a very ill advised move also.
