10/9 ESPN & FOX PBC PPV: Deontay Wilder Vs Tyson Fury III (WBC Heavyweight Title)
- Thread starter gangreen
- Start date
If you train a guy months to go for the body and all they take from camp is that crappy jab that matches *none* of their existing tools and also opens up even more of their weaknesses - you didn't help them

He can still knockout most of the heavyweight division
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
a brotha taught that cac the ropes..which is even funnier
Mell was waiting lol
NZA
LOL
i could have sworn this said hopsin got better with age
This.
Anything who says otherwise is sounding like a casual.
You can't teach an old dog new tricks. This is who wilder is. This is who he's always been, and this is how hes gotten this far in his career. And hes one of the best at it.
Devestating knockout or die trying. And it almost worked damn near. 2x knockouts and left him on the canvas for got knows how long.
He really doesn't have anything to hang his head about here he fought the best way he knew how and left it all in the ring and went out like a warrior. I dont know what these dudes were expecting.

His footwork is suspect too, but that's a lot harder to improve (especially between fights!) than the combinations. Especially in the mid to later rounds, just one hesi into the hook could have won him the match. Both were hella' tired and Fury never looked out for any setups besides jab > hook because he didn't need to. Wilder didn't condition him into anything else.
His trainer even told him one round to go back to the body and not just throw, and he immediately got up and started throwing bombs again. Granted, he was probably concussed by then. But that just shows how deeply engrained it is.
He abandoned it because that amateur hour lunging body jab got him set up to eat a smooth left, uppercut, or get swung onto the ropes. He doesn't have the defense or footwork to rely on that kind of attack against a guy like Fury
True story. The giveaway was when Scott referred to it as the "body routine" between rounds. It wasn't a strategy as much as it was a set technique that they'd drilled in the gym. The other giveaway was him going back to resting his hands on top of each other after throwing. It seemed like it was less that he was reading Fury and reacting in kind as much as it was him falling back on specify punch sequences they drilled repeatedly.
Naw,
Once I saw Fury come in at 280lbs and still move quick, I knew the only person that can beat him is himself.
Outside of heart, opponents have no tangible advantage against him,
It actually is in the UK

Early rounds were great for Wilder, then Fury adapted and eventually started the mauling. I wish Wilder adjusted he gave up on the body shots, defence and didn't much during the clinches

Wilder vs Joshua could have been the biggest fight in a decade. All down the toilet
This is what happens when you don't do the fight when the fans want it

My point wasn't that he was, my point is that it's not impossible. He shouldn't just hang it upDeontay Wilder is no Bernard Hopkins
