The reason Wilder looks bad against top opposition

[Larry the boss]

Wilder has power and good timing but he just isnt a very good boxer

[Cypocryphy]

He looks bad against all competition. The reason why Wilder looks so bad is due to his complete lack of fundamentals. I mean, look at this. He's looking at Fury like a deer in the headlights. Arms down, chin up, within range to get cracked. He doesn't know what to do.



Teddy Atlas here explains what's wrong very well in this video:



Wilder, if you look at his last fight, was all over the place. That sleep walking position he likes to take? He did that a lot against Fury. Wouldn't even try to defend himself but would, instead, throw both his hands out as if trying to keep Fury at bay while running away. Reminds me of a school yard fight some guy is losing. He wouldn't even LOOK at Fury but would advert his gaze. He'd have no idea what was happening next.

These mistakes pointed out by Teddy were repeated against Fury and made the match look as lopsided as it was, IMO. You will see ALL of these mistakes exploited by Fury.

Stop it. Ortiz hasn't done **** for you to say that.

He doesn't have to do anything. He passes the eye test in spades.

Favor a brawler with porous defense over a slick southpaw classic boxer with high ring IQ? Not me.
