Lennox: Wilder got exposed..

If a fraud can do that to Fury I'd hate to see what a good fighter would do to him. Calm yourself down will you and keep it real you silly man.

 

seriously. im sitting here thinking, this absolute fraud nearly buried fury, and this somehow exposes the fraud and proves how good fury is?
it was a mediocre boxer with a mediocre punch, narrowly winning more rds over a bad boxer with a great punch. their mediocrity allowed both men success in doing what they do best.

 

I think everybody with a brain knew going into the fight that Fury was the better skilled fighter of the two and that wilders only chance of winning was by KO, which he almost pulled off. That said, I thought Fury should have been given the nod, but what I saw in the ring last night was what I expected to see and more. Very good heavyweight fight in my.opinion.

 

Wilder got exposed for the simple fact that if an opponent takes away his right hand or is able to take his best punches and fire back and outbox him, he has nothing else to offer. But we did know that, the problem is his power will Ko 99% of fighters

 

He's not a fraud as I think he could beat a number of legit people. He would however clearly have a few L's on his ledger with a better resume from another era and a few potential losses if he hadn't taken such a soft route to the title.

I also think at this point it's pointless to rag on his technique. Let's just enjoy watching him as a unorthodox and limited big puncher and see who can get the best of him over 12.

 

That’s just a silly comment!
Lewis had many more ways to win than Wilder and his team could come up with if they had all afternoon to sit down together and think about it.

I think what Lewis referring to is the same as Mayweather was talking about after the first 5 rounds. Wilder had plan A which wasn’t very good and he wasn’t executing well, after 5 rounds Mayweather had him behind 5-0 and said if he can’t do something different then Fury will Win by shutout.

Wilder got exposed for being a one trick pony (a good trick admitted) and when he struggled to land he looked amateurish.

 

It nearly did but you are right he relies on his power to get him that win..

 

I think everybody knows that about wilder. His skills and technique are bad and that his only way of winning against better skilled fighters is by knockout. He wasn't exposed by anything we didnt already know.

 

This. Wilder was never and is never going to be Larry Holmes and he tends to over rely on the right hand, so I wasn't surprised. If anything I was shocked at how reckless Fury got when he would foolishly stop using angles and would square up with Wilder. Fury only paid the price once, but that one mistake almost cost him getting knocked cold. Fury needs save the goofing off for the press conferences, since a ref like Byrd or Bayless may not have even given him a count on that knockdown like Reiss did.


Also, as much as I like Lennox he's one of the last guys that should talking about a guy getting exposed considering he got stopped twice in his career within 5 rounds. I don't think Lennox would've recovered from the second knockdown that Fury managed to get up from. He should've gave both guys their dues and offered some constructive criticism, since people could easily say Lennox got exposed when he got stopped by McCall and Rahman.

McCall just landed a hard punch, Lewis out boxed him in the rematch.

 

But he beat both therse guys in rematches.

 

He's a come from behind kinda guy.

 

Love LL.

 

True, but at the times he when he got stopped it would've been easy for a past great to throw shade at Lewis and say Lennox got exposed, but guys like Ali, Frazier, Foreman, etc. never did, since they all still recognized his talent. What I'm basically saying is any fighter can get neutralized regardless of how great they are and Lennox knows this first hand, so it came off as a dumb comment by Lewis.

 

Getting KOd from a hell mary shot like against Rahman isn't being 'exposed'.....

Swinging wildly for 12 rounds.....
Connecting with less than 20% of thrown punches.....
Having no plan B.....
Getting outjabbed.....
Being inferior in every aspect bar power.....
That's being exposed.


I've seen this coming for years.

Look at Gerald Washington. He's a domestic level guy, and he was doing the basics better than Wilder.

What do you think is going to happen when an Elite boxer steps into the ring with Wilder?
We saw what an Elite boxer with a 2 year layoff just did.

Fury wins 12 rounds in a rematch in the UK.
