If Ortiz can shake Wilder to his core and nearly get the stoppage then I'm sure Fury could. Not sure about clean one shot KO, but he could deffo pummel him into submission. If Fury got a stoppage win, it would be via the white towel IMO
No, I don't see it. Fury will play it safe again and try to outpoint Wilder without getting knocked down this time. He'll only go for broke if he gets injured or is in imminent danger of losing the fight. But then I'd favour Wilder to get the stoppage over Fury.
I think Wilders mental state would be far worse issue after a loss than Furys. Fury has already showed that he can come back from being 400 pounds, 3 yrs inactive, drug binges etc to *beat* Wilder. (Was gonna mention the mental illness part but I dont really believe that to be entirely true) Wilders ego is in a different stratosphere at this point, he is the most deluded fighter in world boxing today. If he loses, I dont think he comes back the same fighter - his bubble would be burst and as a very emotional person anyway, it would eat him up.
he got floored hard by a 40 year old cw and a featherfisted hw. he has avoided punchers. his career is a how to on ducking.
There seems to be a lack of hype for this fight. If I wasn’t a boxing fan, I wouldn’t even know it was happening.
Well ,it would definitively have to be weird to think Fury will win by KO when he couldn't stop a gassed C+ fighter like Otto Wallin
I don't blame Fury if he goes for the KO and ends up losing. I notice some fans criticising him for it, saying it's crazy, he's a fool etc. I'd say it's understandable when you consider the circumstances. Firstly, he was robbed first time using a defensive style, and even with network backing the risk is there. Secondly, he almost got KO'd by trying to avoid hayemakers for half an hour and doesn't think it's possible to defend much better. Lastly, maybe even most importantly, people are forgetting about the cut. He's probably worried it might open and then defending will become even more difficult. He might not have faith the eye will hold up for 12 rounds. Two of those reasons are just bad luck, but nevertheless, Fury changing his style, for better or worse, is not so crazy when you look at the obstacles.
But pillow fists Luis Ortiz (who hardly wobbled Fury's girl Christina Hammer) made Deontay Wilder do the chicken dance! Your comment says more about Otto Wallin than Fury
Can’t see fury avoiding wilders right for long enough honestly to be able to land his own massive punch
Nah man not even a little bit. I actually think he could have stopped him in the first fight if he would have had a different approach and a different mentality. Now whether he will have that approach in this fight or not remains to be seen, and it is also totally possible that with that mentality comes him getting knocked out while trying to press the issue, but the point remains that I think there's opportunity for Fury to stop him after midway. Im not saying its likely, it just wouldn't surprise me. Hope not though. Rooting big for Wilder.
