Comments Thread For: Fury's Trainer: Wilder's Costume Excuse Is Not Ridiculous

[CubanGuyNYC]

I'd have to agree as Fury's previous style leaves too much opportunity for Wilder to win by KO. Fury needs to again overwhelm Wilder, rough him up and then stop him. No doubt in my mind about the approach Fury should take.

Seems to make sense, right? If you watch both fights, it’s the logical conclusion.

... all Furry has to do is to train seriously, stay focused and use the blue print...

300 hundred pound beast

I don't think it was the costume that wore Wilder's legs down, I believe it was a 300 hundred pound man leaning over him round after round that eventually wore his legs down. Why the referee allowed Fury to lean on Wilder round after round you have to ask him but, he should have been penalized. Fury is a dirty fighter...

I guess so. I reckon Tyson can beat anyone around right now, if he stays focused. I’d love to see them make a Joshua fight. It would be huge, and would settle the debate (hopefully lol).

I wouldn’t call Fury a “dirty fighter.” It’s a tactic that has been used many times. It’s up to the ref to do something about it. I was surprised how often Tyson was allowed to put Wilder in a headlock. He did it repeatedly.

Better for us though if he stays focused on making it a short night for Wilder. Sure Fury can win a boxing match but I'd rather see him win a fight.

Bayless deducted 1 point (without warning)...

I'm 6ft, 160lbs. I stay in great shape. I'm very athletic and have played quite a few sports very well. I helped someone move and had to carry a box that was close to 50lbs for 2 blocks. My legs felt like noodles when I put the box down. Had someone told me to run, my body's response would have been good luck with that. I needed time to recover. I'm giving Wilder the benefit of the doubt because I can identify. Watch the fight again. Watch how long he walked to the ring. The fight started almost immediately after Wilder got in the ring. He didn't work up a sweat or nothing. His legs must've felt like crap standing on a non firm ring floor surface. I can identify. I'm not saying he can beat Fury in a third fight. I just don't think Fury will destroy Wilder like everyone is saying. Fury is a solid heavyweight, but he's no Iron Mike, no Ali, no Holyfield. I give Wilder a chance.....which makes for an interesting fight number 3.

I know. It came late. And when Bayless decided to do it, I was at a loss. A lot of people were. Sometimes I don’t understand the officiating of these refs.

I’ve never really minded some “dirty” tactics. I consider it the referee’s job to do something about it. But it’s really irritating when a fighter repeatedly fouls or employs gamesmanship and the ref isn’t on top of it.
