Is it the same Malik Scott that had shambolic performances against Ortiz and Wilder ? Same dude ?

Anyway, Wilder's been fighting the same way for 10 + years, he's wired that way, he's not gonna drastically change his style in 4 months. I hope he improves but realistically the time to do that should have been after Stiverne I.

It’s the same Malik Scott that has known Wilder for 15 years, converted into a top tier trainer, and has Wilder looking phenomenal in the gym.

John Fury knows the power is real, and has been begging his son to do everything possible to avoid the rubber match.

That is a very bold statement to make. I'd like to know what made you make that claim?

Tyson Fury could very well lose the next fight if he fights the same way that he did in the 2nd fight.

he’s placing an emphasis on old school training mixed with innovative techniques that I’ve never seen before in my life

that’s gonna have Wilder putting Fury to sleep

That sounds good until the bullets start flying. I aint never seen a dude with bad D turn into a responsible defensive fighter without becoming gunshy themselves. It’s going to be interesting though. Both of them can’t go off the previous two fights and incorporate any of that into the 3rd

I believe it meant something other places. Logically speaking, why WOULD it mean anything over here? Joshua been over here once, joshua Ruiz one. It's not like he was over doing anything. There's no investment in his career over here. Serious boxing fans like myself care, but the masses, naw

There is a lot of other markets outside of the U.S. that don't know who Wilder is but will tune into the fight for Joshua however.

An undisputed Heavyweight boxing clash will always draw a huge interest somewhere, whether at the gate or ppv.

Can’t believe I’m thinking this but..

I don't know about Haney beating Garcia. Haney has no chin, no power, average speed and has slow recovery. All he really has is that unpolished boxing skills, no physical gifts or whatsoever. With Ryan's speed and power, he only needs 1 clean shot and we've seen Haney been hit cleanly by a gun shy Linares not one but couple of times. It also makes it easier for Ryan to land that 1 shot because I'm sure he won't respect those pillow fists like how Linares shrugged them all off like nothing. Teofimo and Tank put out his spark, probably Shakur too, truthfully.

I agree. I wasn't dissing them. I just believe Joshua has not done enough to repair his pre Ruiz image, in American eyes.

Haney has no chin but it was Garcia being dropped by Luke Campbell? Granted, maybe Haney does go down and probably does if there was a minute left in the 10th but we’ll never know. If those guys dont land that KO blow you think they will, then they’ll het thoroughly outboxed imo. Only thing i think would keep Haney honest is their power
