    It’s all mind games. A leopard doesn’t change its spots. I expect Fury to be Fury and Wilder to be Wilder on Saturday.

      Lol Wilder incredibly over-hyped, Ali, Foreman, Tyson wouldnt be able to stand and trade with Wilder? Bermaine Stiverne was walking down Wilder at times in the first fight and he is nothing special. Plenty of people could go toe-to-toe with Wilder and come out victorious, you might not have noticed but Wilder hasnt exactly fought many punchers himself (because he knows his chin isnt that good)

        Wilder's power is all from a distance, SOMEBODY needs to take him on the inside 'Because he his punches do not generate the same kind of power when smothered, he has not evolved into that type of offensive fighter'.

          ... Fury never was a "smotherer" or an "inside fighter"... he can only hold... Fury never mastered the effective transition from outside to inside... He's no Andre Ward, tbh...

            He fought that way up against Steve USS Cunningham, that is the only fighter in and around elite level where he applied those tactics.

              Fury can fight long or short, he's a master boxer.

                He fought Wallin on the inside after he got cut.

                You can argue that Wallin isn't world class, but i disagree, i think he's pretty good HW.

                    Could just be mind games. Wilder doesn’t trade hands with his opponents. If he’s smart and stays inside it could help neutralize Wilder length advantage.
                    Wilder is very patient and knows what shot he’s looking for. The more you can give him a new look (as long as you don’t get caught) can be a good strategy.

                      Fury didn't fight "short" the big bad guys (Wlad, Wilder)... (Just who Wallin is?)...
