Comments Thread For: Davison: Fury Stopping Wilder Shocked Me, I Was Surprised

[factsarenice]

That's the trap of stereotypes and reputation. Wilder lost because he assumed that Fury would only be boxing him. And that gave him complacency, which led to his downfall.

What we witnessed is the best Wilder we're likely to see, complacent or not, Wilder really doesn't have anything to fall back on. There is no plan B, never was...

I believe in my heart that both Whyte and Ruiz never got their chance because both fight well inside and both are tough, tough guys. The money shot will never be guaranteed. People will point to AJ's ko of Whyte but that was a lucky shot that I'm not so sure AJ can duplicate. I'm not saying Whyte or Andy are monsters but stylistically they are a bad style for Wilder for the same reasons.

Wilder has options, he can fight AJ or Fury for a lot of money. Wilder can also fight a reasonably known guy that comes forward followed by a Ruiz type to work out the wrinkles before his redemption for a brinks truck of money but that also comes with risks for the above reasons.

That's my 2 cents.

I think Wilder can gradually improve and become dominant again. He doesnt have the pedigree of Wladimir, but Wlad had a similar situation where he expended a lot of nervous energy when opponents took the fight to him. He wasnt KOed, but TKOed bc he was at the point of exhaustion.

Although Wilder hasnt shown he can fight moving backwards, he can land the right with power while taking a step back. He also has an excellent jab. I think he can fix his footwork and add some head movement. Especially now that he HAS to. Its hard to fix whats not broken. In the 6th round he tried some uppercuts on the inside that barely missed. For the vast majority of opponents, their margin of error of against wilder will be miniscule bc of his power. I dont see anyone that can mimic furys combination of footwork, leverage, reflexes and cojones.

Goes to tell how low-esteemed and poor Davison is as a trainer. His failure to bring out the best in his fighters.

That’s because Ben Davidson is a novice in boxing

Exactly.

Fury should stay with the Kronk gym, and his family approves.

Davidson can be part of the staff / team, but he doesn't have the sabiduría to be a trainer of a fighter of Furys caliber.

I think davison was more interested in diffusing bombs instead of attacking deontay for his strength s. He out punched the puncher thanks to sugar Hill. I must say, his face and arms were ripped, he just had a little bit of a gut that's it. Better to take body shots instead of coming in weaker because of the weight cut.

Things people don't see:

The fight was done at 2:24 when Fury landed the first big right on Wilder. Wilder was buzzed from that moment on.
Wilder tried to hit Fury with his head in the eye, look for it either on round 2 or 3 , cant remember.

As I said and will say it again, anytime they step in the ring together, Wilder will go down.

Nothing escapes 'wraps.

There is a moment in the 3rd (iirc) where Wilder paws reluctantly in a half feint, half jab, and that moment it's clear Wilder already had lost, in his own mind.

I remember that headbutt attempt. Fury was smart enough to keep his left temple against Wilders left temple to avoid the headbutt on the cut during the break, he was very smart to position his cut scar away from Wilder 99% of the time. He does roll around him with the scar exposed at one point but Wilder is already have dead at that point.
