Comments Thread For: Fury: Wilder Was Definitely An Improved Fighter In Rematch

[Roberto Vasquez]

fury just taking the high road here by giving these compliments to wilder.. not sure if fury would get the same treatment had he loss the fight instead.

lol no he's trying to take credit for beating the best version of Deontay Wilder. Wilder looked terrible from the beginning in this fight.

Dillian Whyte has a better resume than Wilder. Wilder has ducked him for years. That's who Dillian Whyte is.

Didn’t he just go life and death with senior citizen Chisora? What’s so great about his resume? An escape win over paper champion Parker. He could’ve fought Joshua again but he chose not to. I’ve said many times that Whyte is just a bum with a mouth but even I can admit that’s not true. But he’s nothing special. Maybe he deserves a shot but you know how boxing works. You have to be on the right side of the politics or someone like Canelo or Floyd. It’s how boxing works. We don’t like it but it’s the truth.

I actually sort of agree to an extent. Wilder was not throwing his usual number of completely off, wild swings. He was trying his best to fight a more disciplined fight.

Problem for him was that Fury brought the fight to him, and he had few answers for that. Then he got hurt, and his performance went from losing to atrocious.

Bingo. I actually gave him the first round and saw that he was trying to jab more. You nailed it though and I have been saying the same thing.....fury used his 40-50lbs weight advantage as an offensive weapon and it made all the difference in the world. IF wilder is going to compete with that version of fury then his in fighting game, head movement, strength and conditioning, will have to improve.....and wilder will have to make use of the full punch arsenal....the left hook will have to be used as an offensive weapon, even the 1-3 combination....can you imagine if wilder threw 1-3-2 combos? The uppercut will have to be used on the inside as well.

Wilder has been outboxed by Ortiz, Szpilka, Washington etc before he landed his lucky punch. That didn't stop ****** people claiming him to be the best HW now did it? Whyte does have a better resume and Wilder ducked him. He has the right to laugh as much as he wants at the clown.

At his age the odds he can now just box completely differently is slim. He has over-performed relative to his skill level at this point and I doubt that is going to change much.

Fury gave Wilder respect the first time and boxed cautiously because Wilder was an unknown quantity known for his massive power. Seems like what he saw over that 12 rounds lead him to believe he could just walk through Wilder this time, which seems telling, because Fury rarely does that to anybody.


As for Whyte, hes a bit of a tit and I feel like hes had some luck on his side (Parker fight and the first Chisora fight could have gone either way) but hes a funny guy sometimes and hes been fighting some pretty tough competition. In fact I think hes actually faced more top 10 level HWs than Wilder at this point. It'd be a good fight.

Wilders right glove had more cushioning around the knuckles this time
A coincidence ?

[hugh grant]

I dont think WIlder was improved he was easier to beat. Too big, so too slow to get out of way of Furys kronk power.

Szpilka wasn’t out boxing him and you know it. And it wasn’t just one lucky punch he took several shots throughout the fight. And he hasn’t been the same since. And Wilder was never in any serious danger in those other 2 fights. And maybe when Whyte actually fights somebody with a pulse his career will be worth criticizing.

The excuses are lame but there’s probably some truth to it. But you have to take that with you to your grave. People don’t want to hear that sh.it. But I say again who is Dillian Whyte? He’s been beat up. He’s struggled with lesser opposition. He’s came into fights out of shape. He’s turned down opportunities to get title shots. What’s so great about this guy really. However match up style I think Whyte at his best could compete with Wilder. But he hasn’t proved anything up to this point.

I'm 99.9% sure Wilder KO's Whyte but you can make the very plausible argument that DW has a better W on his record than Wilder does tbf. He's also been mandatory to Wilder for god knows how many months. He's not a nobody at all lol.

But as I said...he does lose to Wilder IMO.
