    There's always a place for a brutal punching, relatively under skilled, heart based fighter like Wilder. I doubt that Fury has his soul. That's the one thing that we can be sure of with Wilder, he does have the heart. I agree that if he does throw caution to the wind it could be at least interesting while it lasts.

    I think THIS is going to be his game plan. He's had some massive one punch counterpunch KOs.

    Learn to clinch and catch Fury with uppercuts when he closing in for the kill. Wilder has shown very little infighting skills, he probably got smashed again, but point for trying.

    Wilder can add in a powerful right hand to the body. He MUST participate in the jabbing war to some extent. Everyone thinks Fury is beating Wilder on the inside, but that isn't most of what's happening. A lot of Fury's success inside is because he has established the jab to the point where he can go in and out as he pleases. Wilder needs to learn to throw multiple jabs with lateral movement. 1-1-feign 2 while moving to his left.

    If Wilder can create at least some sort of a jabbing contest, he can start adding in a right hand to the body. Feign 1, throw the hardest 2 to the body he can. Once he's established the 2 to the body, he can mix in the 1-2 to the head.

    Straight punches are his key to victory. Wilder doesn't know how to throw a world class hook or uppercut, and he isn't going to learn. He doesn't know how to fight on the inside, and he isn't going to learn. He doesn't know how to fight moving backwards and counterpunch, and he isn't going to learn. The 2 to the body is his key to victory, and it's very unlikely he will land the 1-2 to the head he's used to against a target like Fury.

    Wilder needs to go out on his shield.

    He needs to come out swinging looking to land that big right early doors and take Fury out. That is his strength and he needs to work to it.

    He is too dumb and too old to learn anything new and implement it in the fight. He will revert to type anyway.

    If he could learn anything then a jab would help, especially if he can use it to set up the right hand

    He won't be boxing so that leaves a high pressure attack by Wilder, in the hope the money shot lands.

    I'm with the consensus, and I've always said it: if Wilder can learn a fast, snappy, stinging jab that will add a ton to his game.

    Also, what Fury said is also true: Wilder isn't going to be able to change his game a great deal between the two fights. So, if Wilder is going to be relying on the right hand he desperately needs to be able to telegraph it less. A quality operator like Fury can read that punch from a mile away. Wilder needs to land it to have a chance. Fury's extra weight is going to help him take the shots better but it will also slow him down. Wilder needs to capitalize on that by feeding him extra punches.

    Frankly I think this will be a repeat of the second fight. I think that even if Wilder learns some new stuff, its going to fall apart when Tyson pressures him and bulls him around the ring. I foresee Fury manhandling him, shoving him into the ropes and leaning on him. I think that after a few round of this Wilder's batteries are going to run out and he's going to be in big trouble.

    Wilder's best chance is in the first few rounds when he's fresh and Fury hasn't had a chance to get used to the speed and whatever new stuff DW has drilled. He needs to catch Fury with something big, early.

    Uppercuts? Lol this is a guy who cant even throw decent combos. Just wild haymakers. He fights like a typical street fighter. He has zero chance fighting on the inside because he cant. His style is made for Fury. Wilder is flat footed, has a wide stance and cant move or slip. Fury just needs to steam through him.

    Only hope Wilder has is jab, feint like Fury and go for the big shot. The other shot Fury cant take is a body shot but when has anyone seen Wilder throw a shot to the body? I dont mean jabs I mean a really power shot.

    prepared to die in the ring, ending with a viking funeral. this cannot be a boxing match wilder has zero skills. so death match it is, he may loose but for damn sure thats the only way he is winning.

    He should have Javier Capetillo in his corner to load his gloves.

    Fury`s coming to knock Wildder out again, he was far more effective in the rematch than in their first clash.

    Wilder needs to improve his footwork, his feet were all over the place in the rematch, he was awful.
