Deontay had a strategy of going to the body to set up the head and abandoned it after 2 rounds. Never faked the right hook at all. No set up for the hook aside from the single jab. Only one uppercut while they were clinched up.

He absolutely showed a ton of heart, but he also took an unnecessary beating that could have been mitigated by incorporating some basic boxing combinations, set ups, and feints. Idk if he continues fighting after this, but I don't see him reaching the summit again until he addresses his technical skills.

When the pressure is on you revert to your instincts.

Yeah it’s over for breh.

Maybe I would have faith in a George Foreman comeback but he took way too much damage these last two fights.

I’m done with the heavyweight division. I’m not trying to see breh fight again. Or anyone else for that matter.

I’m good on this :francis:
foreman took a hell of a beating from ali but had the fundamentals to make a comeback work. wilder has to set up a couple more winnable fights and retire forever

Wilder had a perfect game plan and executed well in the 1st and really 1st quarter of the fight. After Fury caught him and leaned on him, it went south…quick. Wilder gets too sloppy. He should run the tape of this back and really listen to Lennox or bring him into his camp.
Yup.

One fighter was fighting off of instinct while the other was actively making adjustments.

Wilder said he wanted to go out on his shield and he lived by his words:yeshrug:This was a great fight between two really good fighters. This fight was all about will. Fury still didn't look that great to me skillwise. LenOx woulda washed both of these guys easily.
Right it was the clinches and the leaning that did the job nothing masterclass
