    And hold and tie up, exhaust Wilder. That to me is taking the offensive to him and being aggressive. Could lead to a knockout, but if not the size and weight advantage would have led to more clear rounds. Going toe to toe in the 12th was trying to make a statement, but fighting logically, imo.

    Fury’s purse was a joke compared to what Pacquiao makes.

    It is a gamble.. Hagler gambled with Hearns and won, but had Hearns not broken his hand and kept on hurting him, who knows the outcome. Something gave and it was Hearns hand. Fury could stop anyone, but he does not commit. It is not his style. You are right. Lean on him and wear him out other ways.

    Hopefully Davidson and Fury show big hearts, take this criticism constructively and incorporate some elements in their game plan.

    You can't let Wilder of the hook at any stage. He can end any fight in history from any situation in one second no matter how badly he is being outboxed or behind on the cards as Fury almost found out. If there is an opportunity to get on top of him and seriously hurt him, then make the most of it, dont let him recover. Bruno learnt this the hardway against lewis

    I'm glad to see not everything needs to escalate. People sometimes do ill judged things, it happens. People overreact to things stupidly online.

    I hope both keep working together for Fury.

    I like Freddie and he’s a great trainer but he has diarrhea of the mouth more often then not. Somethings you just don’t say publicly, Ben Davison is young and he is still learning so don’t knock him mold him, and Ben seems like a decent guy.

    Roach is right in saying that Fury should have been more offensive.

    I think he was trying to get the job, secure himself a more central role.

    He most likely already told Davidsin this to his face.

    Boxing is a cruel sport all the way around but he shoulda held his tongue

    roach handled it like a man. spoke his mind when asked, realized later it may have been out of line, and apologized directly to the man like s stand up guy would. good for him.
