Comments Thread For: Roach: Wilder Took a Beating, Right Hand Stayed Home That Night

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Hall of Fame Freddie Roach would not advise former world champion Deontay Wilder to take an immediate rematch with Tyson Fury. Last Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Fury captured the WBC heavyweight title when he stopped Wilder in the seventh round of their rematch. The first bout, in December 2018, ended in a controversial twelve round split draw.

Hope he's doing well. I remember making a thread a while back when I saw a random recent video of him having a really good day with his parkinsons (speaking clear and loudly and confidently) and hope that wasn't a one off or just me being too hopeful.

Not only was his right hand at home, it was curled up on a couch, hiding under a blanket and jerking off to Black Panther...

I don't think either HW has given much reason to be showered in kudos, hyperbole and the typical labels.

Both have had mostly weak opposition their entire careers, with the exception of each other, and for Fury his fight with Klitschko.

Fury showed some guts and smarts to scrappily tire out Wilder, and that's what the fight was - scrappy.

Fury has some skill for a man his size, but finding the right range to throw and land clean combinations is not one of them.

Wilder just got smothered and roughed up. He was understandably well worn out perhaps from carrying the extra weight, and the surprise of Fury walking him down.
If Wilder was a better boxer there were openings when Fury charged in, but it was not to be.

I just find all the 'He's No#1' talk far too premature and underserved when we have a tested, unified, travelled, accomplished HW in the picture of which neither Wilder or Fury will deserve such praise if and when they face that challenge, then, perhaps, we can begin to throw around some hyperbole.

Is that the same tested, unified travelled, accomplished HW who got dominated and stopped by a morbidly obese Mexican nobody 8 months ago?

Fury is #1.

There was no moment in the fight where Wilder was doing well. Even when he partially landed the right hand, Fury took it well. When guys who usually come forward are backed up against an opponent who stands their ground and pushes forward, they don't do well, eg. Holyfield-Tyson 2, Canelo-Golovkin rematch.

You ought to remember Fury almost got a cherry pick gone wrong against Wallin.

Wallin won 2 rounds at best.

Wilder will fight with anger in the trilogy and he will be KO'ed again; this time much earlier

I've been riding with Wilder since the Olympics.. So I'm riding with him all the way to the end. Same goes for Adrien Broner, Austin Trout, Keith Thurman, Chris Eubank jr., Errol Spence and the Charlos. That's the difference between the Real and the bytchmade bandwagon riders that jump ship as soon as the waves get rough!
