I was watching Ritchie Woodhall analyse the fight and he and another former boxer stated that they thought Fury should and will fight as a southpaw, so will he?
Some of the time southpaw,I think he might mix it up,but with Fury we will never know till the fight.
He does that he'll be eating right hands all night long. Jk, he'll go down from the first one that lands! He'll fight orthodox, the right hand is too effective vs southpaws.
I posted this question because former champ Ritchie Woodhall was saying Fury should fight southpaw because it makes it harder to land the straight because your rear foot is further away from your opponents, Wilder did miss a lot of straight rights v Ortiz.
It's possible. If Fury is struggling he could switch southpaw and take away Wilder's jab and also make him reach in with the right and counter with a left. Ortiz and Szpilka both had success as southpaws, it could give Fury time to get into a rhythm as Wilder tries and figures out his southpaw stance and unlike Szpilka and Ortiz he won't have to reach in like them as he's the rangier fighter so it will make it harder for Wilder to counter him.
Fury doesn't, he's vastly overrated in that regard. Wilder will find him in this fight and the fight will end as soon as he connects
He'll switch it up. Wilder has just fought Ortiz who is a southpaw so he wont be totally out of sync so if I were Fury I would start off Orthodox . Fury throws much sneakier shots from the southpaw stance and has a really good left hook that snaps from that angle, that might actually be his best punch . Just a simple active jab ,he could easily turn southpaw after flicker jabs and land that outside hook and it will be coming from a mile away where Wilder wont see it. Fury is either going to make it a difficult fight or an easy one ,I think it will be up to him how this fight plays out ,wilder only has one mode and that's wait and wait until he sees an opening.
That looping, telegraphed slow-as-molasses right hand doesn't do anything against skilled southpaws. It's landing on tomato cans; you shouldn't deduct too much from that.
