Honestly, Wilder looked out of it before the fight even started. His body was going through the motions but he seemed like he was totally somewhere else mentally in that 1st round. Doesn't take away from the heart he displayed but it's like he knew he was about to hold that L.

He was excellent in the first round going tonthe body. If he kept that up the whole fight he would have won.

How do you put on extra weight and then your gameplan is lunging, loaded up jabs and backing out of clinches

Extra weight probably helped him take more of those punches though

In the first fight, Wilder went the full 12 rounds and knocked Fury out cold when he was 212 pounds

Adding weight made it worse

Strategy is all part of the battle

it's easy to say strategy and footwork until you've been leaned on for 6 minutes by a 280+ man. And you're body can't execute anything.

Wilder did as good as he possibly could
Everyone who isn't delusional and saw their first two fights knew Fury was a much more skilled boxer. Even then, I think it's possible he was up after 6 rounds in this fight.
His legs were completely dead in the second half of the fight though and he got his ass beat from that point on.
Really not any more complicated than he lost to a better fighter for what should have been the 3rd straight time.

Damn, he 35? He might need to start considering retirement. Dude took a beating in 2 straight fights. I understand having pride, but a few more fights like that and his brain is jello.

HW fighters have much more longevity than other divisions. He should be fine fighting a few more years.
Really nobody else in the division will put a beating on him like that outside of Fury and maybe Usyk and he's never fighting Fury again so he should be good to go

 

[Trojan 24]

I felt the same way. His eyes said he really didn’t want to be in there. Didn’t have the same urgency or energy from previous fights.

I thought the first round was the best he looked in all 3 fights

Nihga didn’t have heart he had a fukked up trainer givin him smelling salt

Kenny was lookin at wilder the entire time since the ear was bleeding knowing he was out of it wondering how is this nikka keep coming back

jay was givin him a burst .. yet when he gets hurt .. he can’t tell 1 from 2

Once all that new shyt he learned get smothered n out the window watch him go to his old ways

that shyt look good when u following the person with mits lead

n he sparring boxers nowhere near the boxer of fury

sluggers have a punchers chance

ask mike tyson .. that peekaboo shyt didn’t work once he got in there with cats who could box n utilize that jab

once wilder gets smothered n have to reset .. that game plan out the window he will back to his No foot work swinging for the fences shyt

called it #820 pg 17

 

[Surreal]

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.

His offense isn't the problem

It's his footwork. He's flat footed too much and circling, athletic ability lacks. Fury beats him with athleticism and positioning. It's rather easy for him as long as he doesn't get caught

That's right. That Cac is more athletic than the brotha

 

[chunky_mcdaniels]

Wilder throws no uppercuts or body punches in the clinch.

Great fight and I'm ready to see Fury v Joshua/Usyk II winner

Yeah. He did once or twice (I believe it was end of the 6th or 7th) and the clinch uppercut had Fury in some trouble and then the bell rang.

Wilder did everything he could.

Salute that man.

Fight was won in the clinches.

 

[#1 pick]

He was excellent in the first round going tonthe body. If he kept that up the whole fight he would have won.

That's honestly what caused both knockdowns but Fury started blocking all body shots outside of the hugging shyt.

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

I thought the first round was the best he looked in all 3 fights

I was talking about the introductions mostly, I agree first round he looked good and went with the game plan

 

[ThrobbingHood]

Why is Joshua being mentioned in here? He lost to a fat mexican and just lost again

His ship has sailed. Should’ve signed the deal when it was on the table.

 

[Methodical]

mans on his way straight to the hospital cut him some slack his eardrums probably ruptured

It doesn't take a sec to congratulations to Fury. You act like he's going to have a small talk. Just man up and keep it move.

Wilder reminded me of them EA Fight Night games. He was just throwin haymakers out there. He need a real trainer to be rebuild him.

Fukk Malik Scott. His performance was embarrassing. He had over a year.
