Malik Scott interview

Comes across okay but still deluded about the cheating excuses. Has to tread a fine line with the boss I know.

 

I'm not sure I totally buy Wilder's rubbery leg routine. Trying to sucker Fury into thinking he's done when it lasts 7 rounds.

 

Yep. They got a new trainer to address some of the big pitfalls from the 2nd fight loss. I didn't expect Wilder to turn in to Ali in a year or so but I expected some of the most obvious flaws to be improved. Wilder is so upright on the ropes and then puts his head down to the right where Fury can hit him right on the ear or side of the head where it is a devastating punch. Then he swings too wide with hooks and turns all the way around, and Fury demolished the side of his head. These are some of the toughest punches to recover from and do a lot of damage. It also seems that they didn't have sparring partners going at Wilder to push and bully him in training. Every time Fury came with the 1-2, Wilder didn't step back properly or to the side and was right at end of the punches. If that's a good preparation for Wilder, I don't know what a failure would look like.

 

Maybe they included it in the public sparring footage to throw people off track?

Malik is clear that they were are at war, which means you don't give the enemy any useful info if you can help it?

 

As many people said, you can look as good as you want punching pads and heavy bags, but once your in there with an ogre coming at you - it's pretty ****ing hard.

Fury and Sugar hill said multiple times that Wilder would revert to type as soon as he gets clipped and he did.
