Wilder needs to work that body.

    Something I've never really seen him do. If he can disguise his attacks, as I presume Fury will be expecting bombs upstairs, then he can do some real damage.

    Got a feeling we will see Wilder throw to the body for the opening 4 or 5 then hope it pays dividends.

    Wilder will not go to the body, he will stay low volume until he lands the big shot

    Wilder is neither educated nor skilled enough to land body shots. He will continue to do what he's always done

    Fury’s absence from boxing and the abuse of his body have been constantly highlighted in the build up, but I think people are forgetting that this is Wilder’s biggest ever fight. It represents a massive step up not only in terms of boxing levels but also the exposure & media attention. The pressure on Wilder is massive and I honestly don’t think Fury is affected by it. You can see Wilder is struggling with his emotions. Which takes me to the topic of this thread...I can’t see Wilder using his head in this fight, he’s never dismantled an opponent piece by piece, he’s head hunted for the finish. You’re right, he should go to the body but he isn’t going to do be able to do it.

    He beat Pudding Stiverne on points to win the World Championship Belt.

    Can see this fight being a chess match unless Wilder connects big in round 1-2.

    If anyone is going to dig the body it will be Tyson. Wilder doesn't have the technique or balance to deliver well constant body attacks. I could see fury using body work when smothering..

    Like jurgen says this will be a tense affair and probs pretty scrappy

    Sorry mate, I wasn’t clear. I didn’t mean getting a points win, I meant stopping them by chipping away for a finish. They seem to be pretty explosive out of nowhere type finishes.

    I’d pay to see Wilder windmilling body shots just for the comedy value

    Yes he has struggled in quite a few fights against puddings and launched his 50 punch Octopus combinations to win the fight.

    A cagey contest certainly favours Fury

    I've never seen Wilder land a body shot. He is just a big thick American fighter with no boxing brain. Fury is going to take him to school.
