According to boxing experts in and outside this forum, Wilder has no chance of out boxing Fury so therefore needs a knockout. Finally something we all agree on!
how big is the ring ? 20 foot ring as fury has suggested and there is not enough room for him to not be on the ropes for extended periods. fury might adopt his wlad tactics in which case down to judges what they prefer as there would e nothing happening in the ring
Nothings impossible in boxing when you have boxing judges who will be pro Wilder and get the HINT by the committee involved to do so at least 2 of the judges bc they want the Wilder vs Joshua push. Fury most likely wins 10 out of 12 rounds in a full distance fight maybe more but if Wilder gives an impression he's trying to win....well look at the Ortiz fight..he won rounds 5 and 6 yet was up on the scorecards after the fight was stopped. A good bet to win money and chance it is Fury by knockout.
There will be rounds where there is little action that could go to Wilder like in the Ortiz fight, they`ll be a lot of feinting and posing like in the Wlad fight, Fury may be really negative at first because of Wilder`s reach being so much longer than Wlad`s, people might be disappointed and start booing like they did during the Ortiz bout.
Wilder reach is only one inch longer then Wlads. Klitschko has something Wilder never will and that's a power active jab and decent footwork to play chess .Furys not a dummy and sees how wide legged Wilder is which that in itself should have Wilder fans worried.
No he can win a decision, but I personally think he stops Fury. I actually think Fury is the one who needs a KO to win As long as Wilder is concious he will be able to win, he is very athletic, powerful and fit. 12 rounds is a long time in the ring with Wilder. I think Fury has lost a couple of steps and will eventually get caught at some point before the 36 min mark Unless he catches Wilder first that is!!! I like both fighters, both are in my top 10 favourites, probably top 5 really. I will be rooting for Fury though 110%
lol its in america, wilder could leave the ring on a stretcher needing oxygen and still get a decision
Two of my favorites as well. I root for them regardless of who they fight. Now they're facing each other. I'll be thrilled for whoever wins, and I'll feel bad for the guy who loses.
on the crooked scorecards he can win a decision.. but no way I can see him winning a 12 round decision on legit cards. I mean furys not 100% but Washington and spizka were outboxing wilder... and even this faded fury beats them both easy.
The Ortiz fight raised Wilders stock somewhat regarding his ability to take a punch for me. I think the only way Fury gets this, is by outpointing him, I just don't see the ko from him. But I think Wilder will land a big punch somewhere along the line and Fury won't be able to weather the following onslaught
I completely agree with one caveat....judges love to score close rounds for the guy moving forward. If Fury really takes the air out of the building and slows the pace down to a crawl, I can see a judge or two giving the dull rounds to the guy "making the fight." I've seen it too many times.
