Logic says fury?

There is no logic to this fight or any fight that Deontay Wilder is in. The man cannot box for toffee and looks terrible in there, but has found old rightie and put the lights out in all but 2 of his fights.

He nearly put Fury into a deep sleep in that 12th round, and who knows what woke him up?

You would be crazy to count Wilder out of winning the rematch.

 

I believe Wilder wipes Fury out quickly if he shows Fury less respect, Fury's reflexes are going, he is starting to dull, it's all catching up with him, the drinking, drugs, eating and other pressures.

Wilder over complicated it first time around, made it a riddle he had to figure out and spent more time thinking than fighting.

When he let his hands go, Fury was dropped.

Wallin didn't overthink it, he walked in, threw punches, cut Fury badly and gave him a really tough nights works.


If Wilder isn't reckless but aggressive, direct and sets a solid pace from the first bell... Fury won't see halfway.

 

100% Wilder tried to be too precise and lost a bit of that unorthodox approach which is exactly what makes him so dangerous.

 

I completely agree. My suspicion though is that Wilder will over think, will be overly patient and will run out of rounds this time. Fury will rack up rounds doing as little as he needs and win a UD. Personally I'd love Wilder to jump on him from the off but don't see it

 

Very good point, you're spot on.


I honestly believe we are going to get a really aggressive Wilder this time.

 

Maybe, it's possible.

But I do think the Wallin fight will have been a penny drop moment for Wilder, just get in there, be sensible and not reckless but be aggressive, positive and let that right hand go at every opportunity.


The first minute of the fight might tell us everything, we will see but if I was training him, I'd want him in that aggressive, arrogant and vicious frame of mind.

 

Wilder’s corner could be interesting. So little happened in so many rounds first time that it’s not beyond doubt that they won’t simply tell him to keep doing what he’s doing. That may explain some of the hesitancy first time out; depending on who’s commentary you were listening to you potentially were being told it was incredibly close, full of rounds that were difficult to split or that you were watching a Fury masterclass.

 

I heard for the first Wilder fight Fury drank loads of diet coke and finally someone's told him it's bad for the body. He said in an interview no more diet coke fizzy drinks.

 

I don't see Wilder being aggressive in the fight at all. He gassed last time out trying to land on Fury and when he dropped him, couldn't finish the job.

I think he's going to conserve energy, be extremely patient and wait for that big right hand. If it comes and Fury goes down, he'll throw the kitchen sink at him which he didn't have the gas tank to do last time. Will it work? I'm not so sure.

Fury is a nightmare opponent for Wilder. Throw the kitchen sink at him and risk landing nothing and gassing out. Wait for the big right hand and it might not come. Land the big right hand and he gets back up. And of course, Wilder is a nightmare opponent for anyone because he can turn the lights out any time from round 1 to round 12. It's a great matchup.

I wonder will Fury fight southpaw much i this fight. Ben said he didn't do it much last time out, hinting at an injury as the reason why. However, on the couple of occasions he did turn southpaw, Wilder was a whisker away from taking his head off with a straight right. It's a more dangerous stance for Fury both ways. He hits harder using the southpaw stance, but he also looks more vulnerable to Wilder's right hand.

 

The most balanced and sensible post - that is why it is the biggest World Heavyweight Fight since the Lewis era.

The top two unbeaten heavyweights in the world and the uncertainty of outcome is so refreshing.

 

Lol this is a good one. Will add "He didn't stop drinking Diet Coke" to the excuses when he gets ktfo.

Someone just told him now fizzy drinks are bad for the body?! Good to see he has a knowledgeable team behind him lol

 

I missed the part where he was all over the place.

Fury is strange in that he's been put down several times but never looked "all over the place" or on the verge of being stopped once he got up. Those skinny legs are very strong it must be said. He has a tremendous ability to recover quickly.

 

That poster must have got mixed up with the Tony Dosh PPV humiliation at the hands of Baby Butterbean when he was rocked badly by medium power punches.

 

Sorry Jurgs, I don’t buy that. It could’ve been but it really isn’t. Promotion has been **** poor and slow tickets sales have forced an ‘emergency’ second press conference in LA today. The biggest fights generally grab the casuals attention but this is just one for the hardcore fans. As a rule nobody knows who Deontay is and Fury is renowned for only being entertaining outside the ring but rarely in it. I can’t wait mate, but so many sports fans around me are oblivious it’s happening.

 

I don't think anyone really knows what version of Fury will turn up, he did look terrible in his last couple of fights, but he also looked particularly bad in the fight before his bout with Wilder.

I expect the rematch will go the same pretty much the same way, the question is when will Wilder connect with a big shot.
