Deontay Wilder vs Tyson Fury 3 - Terence Crawford shows Wilder his Key to victory

I am going to go out on a limb and say that the way that Wilder is going to fight Fury is to listlessly flick the jab a few times and then throw the right hand. If that doesn't work, he will do it again and again over twelve rounds on the theory that it has to work sooner or later.

My guess, and it is just a guess, is that it will fail spectacularly.

 

It’s not that Wilder is too old to learn new tricks it’s that

1. The straight right always got him out of trouble before his rematch with Fury
2. He is surrounded by suck ups looking for money
3. That costume weighed 187 lbs.

lol can’t wait to see Wilder get sparked out again and retire all while yelling BOMBSQUAD!! TO THIS DAY!!!!

 

Wilder’s team is fine. Wilder is the problem. He has too much pride in his power and physical ability, so he sees no value in footwork, ring efficiency, or inside work.

It doesn’t matter who works with Wilder, since Wilder overrules everyone. When he was at the fight factory my trainer, Malik Scott’s trainer Bernie, Sal, who was the head trainer and used to train both Andy Ruiz and Leo Santa Cruz had an extremely hard time getting Wilder to listen to anything.

Sal, who is an extremely easy going guy and pretty quiet had to scream at Wilder before Wilder somewhat listened.

Wilder has the talent and ability to make the adjustments to beat Fury, but it will require Wilder to follow directions for a whole camp, which will be a miracle because Wilder is a very stubborn guy.

Joshua was able to humble himself and make the adjustments by listening to his team to win his belts back. We’ll see if Wilder can do the same.

 

Obligatory Matt Fouts sucks comment.

 

Wilder needs someone to teach him how to box off the back foot and not to EVER go backwards in a straight Line!!!!! Boxing 101

 

Wilder does so many things wrong. No head movement, no feints, terrible jab, bad foot work, only threat is the straight right. I said it before and I'll say it again, if he learned a jab and how to work behind the jab, he would be a real threat. Trying out the new stuff you learn on an opponent like Fury for the first time won't be good. He needs to gain the trust and confidence of whoever teaches him this stuff. If he tries it out on Fury and loses again, he would most definitely be unteachable.

 

I like how he fought Stiverne the first time. I saw a lot of promise there. Good jabs, less wild.

 

Yeah, Wilder was terrible. Absolutely out of his depth. But I got 30 seconds in and Fouts is calling the first fight "close", which it wasn't and I just can't listen to the ***** anymore.

 

Wilder isn't going to change a thing. He can fight a little on the back foot moving as he showed against Stiverne but that's Stiverne. He'll just try and line up that right hand again, it's all he can really do. And in reality it's still his likeliest method to victory. He will absolutely always have a puncher's chance.
