Comments Thread For: Wilder: If Fury Takes The Fight To Me, It's Gonna Be A Short Night!

Wilder within 9rds and probably within 4 if Fury decides to mix it up. He won't.

I saw the fight. Wilder was robbed with that bogus count. Fury went down. Reiss started his count. He looks over at the official timekeeper (a female) who was not even watching the fight upon impact. She was talking to the other female timekeeper???? She flashed the count at one after Fury had been down on the canvass four seconds. Reiss had four fingers up and went back to one. Unscrupulous behavior. I never seen a referee shout in the ear of a downed fighter like that either???

That's a bogus narrative. Reiss picked up the count at 4 and counted down in time with each second passing. By the time he got to nine Fury was on his feet.

Other referees would have called it off. That Reiss didn't means we have this great fight to look forward to. Stop whining, chill and enjoy.

I've got Wilder by mid rounds this time.

I have no idea what’s going to happen in this fight. Wish it had been at Old Trafford though....I’d have flown home for that I would. I am leaning towards my fellow worker 🐝 though. Wilder has a terrible habit of posing, waiting, not throwing, and giving away rounds. It is literally the worst habit I have ever seen from a fighter of that magnitude.

Wilder doesn’t trade punches he covers up in a high guard . It’s a smokescreen like the notion Wilder hits you ,you don’t get up that’s just an outright lie .

If Fury throws aggressive there’s only going to be one guy throwing and that’s Fury .

[Oldskoolg]

Actually, Wilder was in trouble the most when the opponent wasn't afraid to trade with him. That's why he got rocked by Molina, Dahaupas, Ortiz.

Wilder wants to create a narrative that trading with him is bad, when Wilder benefits the most when he got space and range to land his right hand.

When was he rocked by duhapaus?

I love the Kronx gym the Hearns etc for their big hitting aggressive styles .That is not Tyson Fury and if Fury tries to invent it for this fight Wilder will be proved right.I think it's more minds games from Tyson to keep Wilder at bay whilst Tyson pecks away with his jab and well placed one two's.
I thought Tyson nicked the first but I see Wilder stopping him this time.

I see it that he's putting pressure on the judges

I can’t believe we’re a week away I can’t wait!

Fury wanting to change strategy isn't about him being worried about getting a fair decision, he's concerned about getting through the 12 rounds without getting hurt. He understands that Wilder is dangerous from rounds 1-12 especially in the 2nd half of the fight when focus and defensive reflexes dull.

I wouldn't advise Fury going for an early KO (AJ is a different story) because with Tyson's lack of concussive power and Wilder's toughness the probability is very low for him to actually close the show. He'd likely expend more energy than he's used to in the early rounds and be a sitting duck during the second half.

I would advise Fury to box on the outside in the first half and smother him in the second half. With this strategy, he can conserve energy and bank rounds then make it a tough, grueling fight before his focus and defensive reflexes begin to dull enough for Wilder to catch him in a bad position. Fury can win rounds on the inside or outside, it's about limiting Wilder's opportunities and never allowing him to get comfortable. Wilder against a tired opponent is like a shark in blood infested waters.

Generally youre in the worst position when you're just sitting there at long range letting Wilder comfortably snipe at you. I think Fury needs to strike a balance of doing what he did in the first fight but also at times being more aggressive, trying to get inside and rough Wilder up. Theres just too much risk in giving Wilder 12 rounds to look for his shot.

I think Fury is just as effective at long range than Wilder is, if not more.

Whenever I think of fury fighting on the inside I I envision the clip of him uppercutting himself. Lol.

Fury's best gameplan is to just box and move, as he did the first fight. He can't slip up for one second, as he found out in the first fight.

Also, if Deontay comes in weighing 220lbs or so, Fury's lights will get turned out if he even gets touched once.
