:gucci: Malik Scott had him benching 375 pounds instead of working on his footwork. Wilder doesn’t listen to anybody; it has nothing to do with Breland. Breland told him everything Malik Scott did.


Results were the same. Wilder ignored him and didn’t even look him in the eye
Results were not the same. In fight two he got beat from pillar to post. In this fight he loss but he rocked Fury several times and had a good body attack. He only had 1 training camp with him so there was never going to be a fixing of footwork that fast. He worked with what Wilder had already and improved upon that. With Breeland he never improved, he was the same fighter because Breeland didn’t have a voice. I think we let Breeland off the hook all these years but real talk he was content on just cashing checks instead of really trying to get Wilder to improve.

Wasn't really that hungry for this rubber match after what was a conclusive result in the rematch but I'm kind of glad we got this now because it was a great slugfest, one of the better HW fights recently. Seems like these 2 are just a good matchup, you will get some sort of a drama any time they meet and the action was the best from their 3 fights at this one.

I could see Wilder and Scott worked on something, it was hella obvious that Wilder is trying to chop Fury down with body shots in round 1. He quickly reverted to his old self though, in round 2 already. The tactic of going to the body could never pay off with Wilder only committing to it for 1 round. He ate a hard 1-2 at the end of round 1, maybe that and Fury's more aggressive approach in round 2 made him abort it.
Hard to tell from his how good Scott is as a coach. He had a plan, it's clear but was only held up for a round, questionable how much of it was Wilder going back to his instincts and how much the tactic having holes on it that can be exploited by Fury quick. And I don't think it was a good idea to have Wilder bulk up. Fury still roughed him up in the clinch and it probably didn't do any good to Wilder's stamina either, so what's the point? You never heard someone got better at boxing because he started benchpress with heavier weights...

It was clear too that he wasn't gonna throw in the towel like Breland. Letting your fighter collect a ton of punishment but also to "go out on his shield" or stop the fight earlier but possibly save some years from his life. Take your pick... imo a trainer has to have the authority to pull a fighter out when it's getting too much even if the fighter asks him not to. He's also there to save him from himself. With that said he won't receive much criticism for that because Wilder has this strange ability to fire kill shots while staggering around like a zombie. Despite how much I'm tired of his shyt outside the ring, he definitely left everything in there last night, showed big heart, and took part in some great fights, last night and before, his fights always contain drama because of the great danger and great vulnerability he carries with himself at the same time.

FOTY contender for sure, boxing at its best, this fight and the trilogy will be talked about for a long time

If I were Wilder’s trainer I’d of had him working on defense. He’d of went into that fight at 205 to 208 max, we would’ve had our running shoes on and we woulda made Tyson Fury move around the ring for 6 rounds while we kept him at distance with our incredible reach. We’d punish Fury with the right whenever he tried to smother us. We don’t let Tyson Fury get in close, he has shorter arms and he’s using his full body weight behind everything he’s throwing like a stiff sledgehammer. Then in our peak condition stamina we begin launching rights at a more fatigued Tyson Fury somewhere around the 7th or 8th round, early in the round … I mean he comes out of the corner in the 7th round as if the fight was just starting but feigning the same energy as before to draw him in … then, BOOM

Wilder wins this way

Had Wilder had Malik Scott about 8 fights ago I think he’d have cleanly beat Fury in one of those fights. Bree land was a yes man and didn’t have the chemistry or assertiveness to get Wilder to do something different. Scott didn’t have enough time to change him completely but he definitely was the best guy for him. Too bad. Shoutout Fury and especially Sugar Hill.

Based on what Breland said back in February, he was forced into the yes-man role

Why does that surprise you? When has he ever been that?

He’s not Anthony Joshua. Didn’t come into boxing young. Exactly the opposite, he came into boxing late - and succeeded due natural gifts and abilities. Respect his path and what he made of it

He is America’s #1 heavyweight and remains so

if he avoids Usyk and Jared Anderson and he’ll never risk losing another fight. Doesn't necessarily have to quit now but not much left to prove based on what he’s done against Fury, how hard can you fight for the #2 spot. The case could be made that Fury should be in another division entirely though

He nearly put Tyson Fury down for the count more than once. Longest counts I’ve seen anyone get or get up from …


It would’ve worked if it wasn’t Tyson Fury

Tyson Fury doesn’t make sense. That’s just the way it is. Mike Tyson studies various forms of fighting and has said the same Tyson Fury doesn’t make sense, but somehow he’s able to move like that


Should really be in a different division though

kind of a weight bully
:pachaha:Ain't nobody surprised. We been saying he was limited for years. AJ started late too but he (AJ) has taken time to improve on his craft. AJ also took the harder path. How many top 10 fighters have Wilder beaten?
