I know what you trying to say and i agree to an extent. But the way Fury slipped every right hand in the 2nd fight with ease was crazy. You rarely see a pure boxer have problems again with a fighter that they have figured out like that. It all depends if Wilder has improved major weakness which is a tall order to do in such a short span. We'll see if this fight ever happens again.

Wilder can nullify the right hand foreshadowing with just a few minor adjustments to give Fury something else to think about. He's definitely capable of disguising it/he did it in the 2nd Ortiz fight.

Fight will be likely boring as shyt but its the best fight available for Devin, gotta make that

The Linares fight was exciting, Haney was aggressive, maybe too aggressive for his own good when he could have kept jabbing Linares’ head off but w/e, if he goes into the Jojo fight with the same mentality this could be entertaining, Jojo will try to make it a fight in the pocket either way.

It was a better watch than Gamboa but I wouldn't call it exciting, to each their own tho.

Agreed
Once you make Wilder throw his right hand early an often you take away the sudden danger of it. You reverse the fight dynamic immediately by doing that. Since Wilder doesn't have any other weapons, he's just gonna fall back on that one weapon even more. Fury basically made Wilder panic, which can drain your energy just like being nervous can.

Much easier to pressure someone who only has one weapon, than it is with someone who has a whole arsenal at their disposal. If Wilder can develop a better jab, better left hook, and get his uppercut going, he definitely can win the 3rd fight if Fury takes that approach again.

Really comes down to the sparring tho. If they can create situations where Wilder is comfortable firing off different types of shots while being pressured, he can overcome that flaw.
So yeah its possible, I just personally doubt it.
I don't see it happening either. Too many antics by Wilder tells me his mental is shattered.

Why do people act like its inconceivable that Wilder has improved in the time between these fights. By time these two even fight it may be two fukking years later :dead:

If he been dialed in the whole time training why wouldnt he improve. I dont get that angle at all like its impossible for him to be a better boxer. Im far from a pro and even me today and two months ago as a boxer is greatly improved so I dont see how a pro who is training hours a day cant.

so u tellin me malik scott the same malik scott wilder barely touched n knocked ...is a improvement from mark breland

lol

breland has the same pedigree ass fury...came from the same cloth emmanuel stewart

didn't fury fukk up malik scott eardrum...

become a better fighterwith a crash dummy vs listening to the 2 gold medalist n former welterweightchampion..who knows fury style n tricks..because he used em himself..
