This is going to be a fantastic fight And hopefully in the next year so, we’ll see the winner face AJ for unification
I said it once and I'll say it again. This fight is not happening in February. Fury will pull out with an injury excuse, mark my word
Well the first fight was a snoozefest with an abysmal amount of punches thrown. Really hope the 2nd one will be better.
Why is Fury using Smith machines to lift? I guarantee wilder is using free weights. Smith machines are for work gyms, home gyms and weak asses. Professions at this level should be using free weights. Second, Fury has no power so I doubt his sound effects scare Wilder. He will run and hold like AJ to win if he can. It certainly won’t be by knockout. Freddy Roach was dreaming when he thought Fury had to a chance to KO Wilder in that first fight.
I agree about the free weights. I don't agree that Fury winning inside the distance is fantastical. A cold knockout of Wilder? Not happening (at least by Fury). In the rematch I can definitely see Wilder getting waved off or a towel thrown in though. Hoping to be in Vegas for this one. I will bet on Fury to win outright, and while I think a stoppage is possible, won't be betting on it.
Remember that Wilder was badly hurt in the 12th round, so it's not at all inconceivable that Fury would get a KO. Plus, it's HWs. I wouldn't bet on it, but it's hardly irrational to think otherwise. Most likely another 9-3 type decision, tho.
Just rewatched the fight. I wouldn’t say he was badly hurt. I do think he was close to being out versus Ortiz in the first fight. In watching the first Wilder / Fury and their subsequent fights, I would say that Fury’s stamina looked worse in the Wallin fight and that Wilder has significantly straightened out his straight rights. However, Wilder still gets hit too much and doesn’t move his head. Fury has fantastic head movement. He is hard to hit when he is fresh. My thoughts on the rematch: Fury needs to improve his conditioning and throw some body shots at Wilder to back him up early. Wilder needs to go to the body more early as well. He should use the same tactic as with Ortiz. Jab and move until Fury is tired around Rounds 8/9 and then start throwing the bombs. Wilders conditioning is far better than Fury’s. I also bet that Fury will not come in top shape like the first fight. He looks heavy in his training videos and does not look to be hitting it hard like last time. Wilder needs to get in the high 220s. He was pushed around by Fury too often during the last fight. He gave up way too much weight. The Breazeale / Wilder version looked better than the lighter Ortiz version. Wilder overtrains for his fights. Will be an excellent fight.
