He looked much better when he was training with Jay Deas , what is Malik actually teaching him ? This content is protected
Hand speed is coming back but everything else looks worse. It's kind of refreshing to see an athlete hit their mid 30s and decline like everyone used to.
I am sitting on the toilet as we speak watching this video. I just laughed so hard that a snot bubble and my doodoo both exited my body with such force that I thought I was going to do an Elvis
Seems like the plan is to work the body, that's pretty clear and to come under the jab to get there. He's also not throwing the right hand the same, no step in or massively loading up like before. I don't think he looks terrible, just different but he needs to fight differently in this 3rd fight as clearly the Wilder before was no match for Fury and repeating the same strategy is again doomed to fail, so why not risk it. Will this new version of Wilder work vs Fury? Hard to say, I think even though he's disguising the right hand better the way he's throwing it now will limit his reach and power. That step in allowed him to cut distance and create momentum in the right hand this right hand maybe harder to see coming but it may never reach it's intended target and even if it lands it may not have the same impact without the forward momentum. Also coming in low may not work if Sugar Hill is teaching Fury how to control with the lead hand against this style. We saw it countless times during Lewis' career and Wlad's, guys coming under and getting framed, collar tied then clinched and unable to work.
His whole game is based around it , that lead keeps on pawing, feinting and upsetting the other guy's rhythm , I don't see why Fury's gonna abandon that , even if Wilder comes in low he's gonna get headlocked plus he's got no inside game.
Against a lesser fighter it might work or at least have some success but Fury isn't an ordinary fighter. Whatever Wilder does chances are Fury has an answer. I agree about those body shots, simply putting your head down and throwing won't work vs Fury, Chisora has way better head movement and he couldn't get inside, Fury will post with the lead hand to keep him at arms length and when he does come in under it on the rare occasion then Fury will just lean down on his head. Fury is no idiot he'll see these vids of Wilder and already have at least a couple of strategies to overcome this altered version of Wilder. I bet he's working on uppercut for this next fight. Such obvious tactics won't work, Wilder will need a level of craft in his game that he simply lacks.
Yeah he does it already but I think he can be even better at it under Hill, I saw glimpses in the 2nd fight of some of the Kronk style lead hand control and in this 3rd fight I expect a far more dominant lead hand from Fury in terms of controlling Wilder's position. If Fury can master the Kronk style which he previously only had 7 weeks to learn I expect an even more dominant performance.
You can’t just abruptly change your entire boxing construct over night, esp at Wilder’s age. I think Fury’s right when he said he’s going to stop him even faster this time.
Wilder is definitely looking like a 36 year old who has been inactive and never had fundamentals to begin with. Why are you surprised?
From the first 20 seconds or so, it looks like they're working on him throwing feints. If he tries to out-feint Fury it's gonna end up looking like he's suffering an epileptic fit...
