Why not a first round knockout, then? It would pay 101x where I bet.

Yea I'm sure Hill managed to turn Fury into a power puncher in a few months.

My thinking exactly
And I feel that if he does go for the ko , that will be his demise

I could see it. Fury isn't a one punch knock out fighter but Wilder (or any fighter) can only absorb a limited amount of hard clean punches.

Mad respect for Sugar Hill, but come on now.... He's not fooling anyone. Kronk Gym is built on fighters learning how to box, use your feet, jab, ring generalship, and hit and don't get hit. So to say that Fury is training to " go for the K.O" is ridiculous. I'm guessing this strategy so Wilder wouldn't train for a guy who's going to move and box. So I hope Wilder is not buying this B.S.

Hey if he pulls it off then that'll be something- but I think this is more smoke and mirrors.

While Kronk fighters were all schooled in the fundamentals, they knew the value of a knockout to paying customers. Thomas Hearns had the skills to box from the outside to beat people with the jab alone....but he couldn't help himself. He wanted the knockout. Lennox Lewis, Vlad Klitschko, even post Manny Steward champs like Adonis Stevenson were all noted KO artists. Whether this can be taught to Fury remains to be seen.
