Decent fight predication by Teddy Atlas.
Ever since Fury changed trainers, I've been convinced he'll lose

Fury is going back to his roots. The next best thing to E Steward. He was with Fury until 2012. Davis just came on the scene for a year. More mental than anything. Fury needed that. Now hes got that under control and knows he needs to go back to what made him. Smart move really.Comment

Well its obvious hes in shape. How can you not see that? Its not like hes coming in like Ruiz shape. Hes putting in the work. What more would you like to know? Hes doing a ton of cardio and less sparring also.Comment

Definitely. Fury says he doesn’t like Wilder either but I don’t even buy that. They’re both flashy guys. They’re making each other huge money. Wilder says he likes Fury. I think Fury likes Wilder also secretly. I mean look at the outfits they both wear to the ring. They can appreciate the similarities I’m sure. I don’t see Fury telling everyone he’s gonna weigh 270lbs if it was by actual design. I could see him saying it to help promote the fight if he knew he couldn’t lose the weight. He could also want to try and goad Wilder to try and come in heavier, but I mean Wilder already has the power, and if anything I can’t see Wilder coming in “too heavy” or out of shape. Like u said, we will know more at the weigh in and round one. Plus talking about weight always causes buzz, could be as genius and simple as that. Fury can weigh in fully clothed too, cause boxing is ridiculous like that.Comment

I think Fury wins this and adding another trainer isn't going to detract from the fundamentals he already knows.
Worst case, he's losing and the "new" style isn't working through rounds 1-3. He reverts back to type and outboxes him for the remainder of the fight and wins a points decision. Best case, he puts Wilder into entirely foreign territory, having never really been roughed up. Think about how wild and uncoordinated Wilder was in the early portion of his career, it's taken him years to nail down fighting from medium and long range. What do we think he's going to look like fighting on the inside for potentially the first time in his life? Maybe he proves to be clueless and entirely unprepared for it. I do not think he has a natural boxing mind who could adapt to the situation either.Comment
