Comments Thread For: Warren: Fury Will Do To Joshua Exactly What He Did To Wilder

[Richard]

Fury might be there to be hit if he chooses to go at Joshua like he did to Wilder. Wilder doesnt know how to throw a combination to save his life and Joshua is a great counter puncher, inside fighter and combination fighter, might see him walk Fury into a straight right hand down the pipe.

Just hope we get to see it at Wembley stadium.Would be one of the best fights in a long time.

If AJ doesn't get knocked out, I can see him winning by robbery on some shi-t cards.

He can't outbox Fury & I don't see him knocking fury out either

My thoughts as well.

I think AJ's recent form suggests he is more likely to make this a minimal close contact type fight where if AJ can eek out enough quality rounds to a point of being close or even his money guy edge with the judges could give a similar outcome as Fury vs Wilder 1 if not swinging his way despite the consensus of fans & most pundits. I think AJ could just be too overmatched late to prevent a ref stoppage too, but that's less likely I feel.

Regardless I hope it can happen immediately after the 3rd Wilder fight assuming nothing crazy happens to either guy in the meantime.

Yup

Fury used perfect tactics for Wilder but tbh I was unimpressed with his close range game and finishing ability. Fury threw some very nice straight rights from outside but in close he smothered his own work and his best weapon was a stiff headlock.

Wilder was a dead man walking after round 3 but it took Fury round after round of headlocking and mauling to finally force a stoppage. He didn't have the ability to just step inside with a combo and put wilder out of his misery, probably due to his really long arms

Joshua has a better inside game than Fury but he must beware of headlocks, Fury should fight from the outside and use his straight right from range because credit where it's due that's become an impressive weapon.

This fight will be won or lost on Joshua's ability to close the distance on Fury if he can't, he loses if he can he wins imo

IMO Fury's lack of techinique and incredibly long arms would walk against him vs Joshua. If you look at their posture and stance, Joshua is built to be on the trenches and teeing off fast combinations mid range to inside with uppercuts and does it with blazing speed and natural power (one where you dont need to load up.) While fury on the other hand is built to box and smother smaller guys. Fury's left hook is a slap more than a hook and it only stings harder than it should because Fury's hole arm is swinging it like a stick.

If Fury is smart, he should try to box Joshua and not fight him because if he thinks that he could just bully Joshua because he is slightly bigger than him, then he is in for a rude awekening.

I just cant see Fury winning a gun fight vs Joshua. Fury doesnt know how to throw a proper combination and mostly smothers his own work, but he got nice straight right hand though IMO inferior to Klitchkos, so I doubt Joshua would be so concerned.

I agree

I still don't see Fury as an explosive puncher and I think Joshua has a good chance to close him down and let his hands go.

Joshua HAS to go into this fight to be the hammer though, training camp should be all about cutting the ring off, closing Fury down and a big emphasis on body attack. Fury's ping pong head is a small target on top of a MASSIVE target which Wlad and Wilder both can't throw a bodyshot

If Joshua goes in there and tries to box Fury from long range he deserves to lose because that's ******ity

Fury will stop AJ but he’ll take him into deep waters. It won’t be a bully job from early on.

Styles make fights. Same as the fighters who now think they can do to Wilder what Fury did, they can’t.

Agree also on the size thing, Fury if not carrying blubber is around 245, Joshua around 235 wilder around 205-207

Fury wasn't able to bully Wallin, wilder is honestly the same weight as Steve Cunningham which is why he could bully him

[jackblack008]

No sir. Joshua has the tools to beat Fury. Its a 50:50 fight.

My fear is Bobs likely gonna put Fury in with Miller after Wilder. I just don't see him doing 3 split promotions in a row. He's already made mention of Fury Miler which means hes probably already made up his mind about it

[James Hunt]

No way! Wild Gypsy Boar will try to do that herky-jerky shit on AJ, same as he did to Klit.
