Is Fury not dipping for Part II the easiest adjustment any fighter has ever had to make in a rematch

Maybe Joe Louis not dropping his left hand after throwing a jab vs Schmeling.

Or perhaps RJJ abandoning his jab and leading with a left hook instead vs Griffin.

Both times these guys adapted they KO'ed their opponent inside a round, can we expect Fury to do the same? Would be some feat if he did.

 

The first time Fury got dropped was because he bend down and then tried to close the distance between him and Wilder. He wanted to initiate a clinch. But Wilder took a step to the side, controlled Fury's head with his own lead hand and scored the KD.
It had nothing to do with Fury's "dipping". Wilder did everything perfect and Fury made a mistake.

What Fury should have done is pivot off to the side or control Wilder with his own lead hand.

The second KD was a perfect shot from Wilder. He baited Fury with a probing jab and then timed him with the right hand. Fury stood his ground and it cost him the fight. He should have been moving.

 

The adjustment Fury needs to make is to have three Brit judges instead of two robbing Wilder.

 

Life's not so simple, the dip from Fury is pure muscle memory and saved him multiple times each round from flush right hands. No unlearning it and Fury shouldn't want to.
The only thing Fury needs is match-sharpness, then he will be one step ahead of a crude slugger like Wilder for the full 12.
Dude won the first fight anyway.

 

Fury couldn’t been better and Wilder couldn’t been worse in the first fight, if Wilder make adjustments Fury will be KO’d in the rematch.

 

Thought about Dipps the other day ironically and wondered if these were still available from back in the day ?

Fury should avoid the big Dips for sure ,cost him the win.

 

Fury had to use head and body movement in the 2nd half of the fight because his feet still aren't up to speed.

Wilder can't change anything. wilder actually fought his arse off. If wilder wants to be more patient and box better like he says he will gas or just get outpointed even worse

Fury is going to smash him again in the rematch at 100%

Fury just has to not take his eye off the ball. The only reason he got caught by Wilder in round 12 is because he hit Wilder with a nice right hand and thought he was safe in that moment but Wilder came back immediately.

easy work.

 

In some ways Wilder was exposed by a Fury who was out of high level boxing for years. In other ways, Fury fought one of the greatest comeback fights in history.

I can't see Wilder winning a rematch. He was easily outfoxed by Fury and when he had him out in the 12th he couldn't finish the job.

That being said, he does have the power to hurt anyone and no-one is going to stand and trade with him, meaning a decision rather than a KO.

 

Why a 6'9" fighter thinks he needs to dip in the first place I don't know.

 

Fair enough andrewa1, but I would argue that clinching doesn't 'save' him at all to the same degree since Wilder has no inside game, so that's the first point. Secondly, retreating at range did for Fury against Cunningham so it isn't the 'cure all' tactic you claim it to be.
I definitely disagree that Fury can unlearn such an instinctual move but even if he can to a degree, I don't think it would aid him in avoiding right hands from Wilder in a rematch.
It's my opinion that a match fit Fury simply has better feet and more energy to move his torso, his ducking and diving made Wilder miss very badly numerous times in the first fight and so shouldn't be 'trained out' of Fury since such a thing would be a waste of time in my view.
I hope you can recognise that here is at least an argument for a reason to NOT minimize his ducking, even if you think it's detrimental.
