Will Body Shots Decide Fury-Wilder III?

Its always the same but he said in his interview that he has been training along time for this fight and trained less last fight, fury always downplays his training.

 

Wilder was throwing jabs to the body in their last match. He completely abandoned it a couple rounds in because Fury adapts.

 

Still has an awful looking jab

 

Wilder reminds me of that movie "rookie of the year" when the kids arm goes and the magic is gone. Wilder seems to have lost his power.

 

It's all very well Wilder hitting a pad, but when he's got someone trying to dictate his position in the ring is he going to be able to set his feet to dig to the body? I'm not so sure- He doesn't really want Fury up close anyway 'cause Fury is the stronger guy and has a better inside game with more variety.

Variety does helps Wilder but i'm not sure a left hook to the body is the way to do it. Certainly not as the go to strategy.
Fury knows what's coming his way largely - i expect him to be alert early before trying to the pressure on again.
Wilder's power makes this interesting but everything is else is against him.

 

Unless Wilder lands the best punch of his life right on Fury's chin, I can't see how he wins.
He has a chance to do that.
But Fury's going to be smashing his head in and outboxing and outfighting him all the way in the meantime, so Wilder's probably just going to get beaten up and stopped inside a few rounds.

 

I doubt body shots will be a significant factor for Wilder. Wilder went to the body quite a lot in the first fight, 38% of his landed punches in the first fight were body shots.

Wilder will most likely be relegated to jabbing and throwing the odd straight to the body like he was in the previous fights. If he does try and get closer to land a hook to the body he will need to get past Fury's lead hand which won't be easy and will also add the danger of him walking into shots as he comes in.

Fury will extend the left hand out blocking Wilder from getting in range like he did before, he'll stiff arm him, look to counter him with check hooks and straight rights as he comes in and if Wilder comes in low will lean down on him and bring him into uppercuts.

 

We shall soon find out.

 

If its body shots the drinking game then ya gotta go with Fury.

 

Frankly, Wilder is such a moron and unbalanced dick head that I see Wilder fouling out of the fight or pulling a James Butler after the fight and cheap shotting fury because he won’t be able to accept losing again.... it could be ugly

 

I've been thinking the same wilder and his deluded fan base think they were "cheated" so he will do crazy **** in the fight and if he gets away with some of it then it can help him win or he will just get dqd and he will save face. Wilder will choose to be dqd over losing the fight.

 

You'd think a right hand merchant would start to throw his right hand to the body, especially against a prolific jabber like Fury, as it's a natural counter. But no.
