Comments Thread For: Joshua: Wilder Has Not Been Taught To Box on His Back Foot

Well Wilder is a slugger. He is not accustomed to fighting on the back foot. In the trilogy he has to stake out his territory in the center of the ring and don't move backwards.
Force Fury to back up because the last thing Fury wants to do is to trade and exchange punches with Wilder in the center of the ring. It is too risky.Comment

I agree. Joshua's best chance is to press Wilder for the knockout. He's a better boxer than Wilder but Wilder is faster with more stamina (usually). The longer the fight goes on the more chance Wilder lands.
It's a good fight. Personally I think 60/40 in favour of AJ as long as AJ isn't still scarred from Ruiz lossComment

That’s boxing 101. If you press forward using angles and close the distance, you neutralize the right hand. And Fury used angles and positioning to constantly make Wilder reset. Especially someone like Wilder who ****s and telegraphs his power shots. Fury wasn’t just coming forward and being offensive, he had a purpose within his offensive also. Unlike Breazeale and others who came forward with no strategy; right into power shots by Wilder. Even Ortiz in their rematch, why was his back against the ropes. He should have been nowhere near the ropes for Wilder to set up that right hand. Fury was much smarter. He constantly pivoted, set angles, closed the distance, pressured and leaned on Wilder to neutralize his power, while throwing his own power shots.Comment

Wilder's power is very much overratedComment

Nah Parker is a talentless bum according to you. Since anyone that AJ beats get elevated. You cannot have it both ways. The same Parker that was “Running” like Joshua did for his dear life in New Zealand? The same Ruiz fight where Parker would have never gotten a decision anywhere else except in New Zealand? Yeah Parker is a talentless bum too... He should definitely stick to the dancing...Comment
