    Wilder seemed to have improved from fight 2 against Fury to the trilogy with Scuba Scott, even though he still lost. Should he stick with him or maybe bring back Breland and get a different coach

    He should do what’s more comfortable to him.

    Don't think it matters tbh. He should work with whomever he likes at this point. Main thing is to lose a little weight. Liked him better at 225-230 than 240.

    He didn't improve

    Sure he targeted the body for for a little longer

    But not improved

    You can't change an old dog

    He got an unconditioned untrained Fury literally walk head first into him and he still couldn't do anything about it. Fury beat him all the ways possible. Pure boxing, Sustained beating outboxing and brawling and pure brawling.

    His only success was Fury walking straight into his right hand. Period.

    Improved s**t

    How did he improve? Because he was bigger? If anything that was detrimental.

    He did better because he had a Fury who barely trained, who's mind was distracted by his family issues and who had two buggered elbows and so couldn't jab much. He literally had the worst version of Fury we've seen in years and he still couldn't win.

    Doesn't matter who trains Wilder now, he's too old to picking up new tricks and he doesn't have the ring IQ to make anything but the most rudimentary of changes anyway, nothing that would make him noticeably better.

    wilder should rematch ol scuba. there was some controversy over their fight. Then he could fight szpilka again. A fine resume

    Fury just took a dive to get himself extra recovery time during the second ’knockdown'

    He didn't improve. Fury got worse and still bashed him up.

    He did improve. Look how bad he was in fight 2, compared to 3...

    He was crap in both. He stuck a telegraphed jab in to Fury's body for about two minutes and then reverted back to type as soon as he got tagged just as Fury predicted. He then spent the rest of the fight gassed and getting beaten up just as in the first fight. The knock-downs were because of complacency on Fury's part.
    He showed heart that's about it. A few flurries here and there. In terms of technical/tactical improvements they were non existent. Fury was just worse which creates the illusion of an improved Wilder.

    He should never have bulked up as well.

    He doesn't listen to his corner anyway, and he doesn't really fight with "tactics", does it really matter who's standing there?

    Scott likes to come across as philosophical, but he's clueless. A jab to the body for two rounds was all that I noticed.

    A corrupt and cowardly guy, too.
