Don't matter if Wilder "ALMOST" KO'd Fury. He got OUTBOXED the whole fight.

[Combat Talk Radio]

None of what woulda/coulda/shoulda happened, matters.

Wilder will, from now on, be looked at as a one-dimensional fighter who has to roll dice on a lucky knockout punch, a trigger happy ref who will stop off windmills (Gerald Washington), or a stationary target happy to collect a check (Stiverne, Scott).

We learned from the Szpilka fight that Wilder would have problems with fighters that move, and Teddy Atlas told us why a long time ago.



Same punches you saw against Fury where Wilder was over-committing throughout the fight.

We’ve always known Wilders one dimensional. The fact tha Fury got dropped twice, got knocked dead and needed a long count says more about the Gypsy bum.

It takes a true champ to pick yourself off canvas, and then to have the better of round once you get up. It doesn't take a champ to knock someone down like wilder did. Cunningham knocked fury down! So what?
Too much is made of wilder knock downs. From fury looked dead comments, through to long c ount?
So what? Fury got up as if it was nothing.
2 knock downs don't make up for being outbo xed for 9 rounds.xxx
It sets a dangerous precedent whereby kids taking up sport don't feel the need to learn to box. Just learn to hit hard as it's ok to be outboxed for 9 rounds, judges don't care about that. All you need is a knockdown or two to make up for it?

Then you end up with more Gamboas. Lack of fundamentals and nothing to fall back on when they get older.
