Has the Wilder blueprint been set?

[pillowfists98]

Wilder can't fight going backwards. Just sitting back around the outside is not how you fight Wilder because you give him the distance to land his right hand. You have to pressure him and get on the inside.

Exactly this. 99% of HW would have dropped when Wilder hit fury clean in the first 2 rounds. Fury is just a different breed.

Exactly. Johann Duhaupas took many flush right hands by Wilder and never went down. He has a better chin than Fury.

However, not everybody is 6'9 270 lbs with the Boxing Skills and Mental and Physical Toughness of Fury lets be honest. So others might try it and they might get their asses Clipped and Knocked Out so it won't work for everybody.

Yes exactly. The blueprint Fury drew & the theory a lot of guys had has been proven to be a success. So yea more ppl will try it, but results will vary. I also think Fury was able to nullify Wilder even more than most could with his octopus like holding ability after he had scored giving him a lower margin of error with his strategy.

Watching this fight a second time you can appreciate more how much of a master class Fury put on. I honestly thing this win might be more impressive than the Klitscho win, but regardless it's amazing to watch a on point Fury at his best vs the best guys in the game. I know to many ppl this was The Fight, but I still wanna see Fury vs AJ now & I think we see another shining example of how great Fury is if that fight happens.

Andy Lee talked about that in the gameplan using smart pressure.

Brezeale and other fighters have tried and failed miserably.

We aren’t giving Fury enough credit for the thorough beat down he laid on Wilder.

Not everybody has the size and skill to pull off what Fury did. Plus the chin and balls to stand toe to toe. Fury got caught a few times and took the shots well.

Eh. My 3rd rate ******s from ******* off trying to get to sleep last longer than that fight did.

I don't think anyone would suggest trying this blueprint isn't without risks. That doesn't mean it's not the blueprint to use to beat Wilder moving forward. Once Fury came in at 270ish I knew he wasn't bsing about the things he'd been saying. And to me that meant this fight was going to end in a KO, but I was leaning Wilder's way for obvious reasons. So maybe if Fury hadn't been as focused as he was maybe 20% of the time he ends up like Breazeale.

not every HW is Tyson fury so its not just that cut n dry

This would have happened years ago...if Wilder would have fought good boxers instead of the string of bums he fought. This is the real reason Wilder and his team ducked 120 million and unification with AJ, refused to fight his mandatory Whyte, shied away from either Klitschko and he has only fought 4 of the current top 25 in the world. They protected him and tried to make him look like the most powerful boxer of all time but in truth, he was a bum beating fraud who was going to get exposed as soon as he fought someone with a pulse. Stevenson was the same way and if they didn't stop the fight last night, Wilder may have ended up just like Adonis Stevenson...

For the rest of Deontay Wilder’s career, is everyone just going to attack, attack, attack instead of trying to outbox him?

It wouldn’t surprise me and it wouldn’t surprise me if Wilder got knocked out a few more times because of this plan.

I will echo what a few other posters have already stated by asking a simple question: How many other Tyson Fury's are out there? I would say none, therefore it's not a given that every top heavyweight would be able to duplicate what Fury did. If anything I would expect Wilder to score more highlight-reel knockouts if all of his future opponents try to adopt the Tyson Fury plan.
