He can win a fight at any time, right up to the final bell - regardless of performance. Yup it's the same people who say it and yet he's undefeated and had plenty of defences of the belt.

Drop your guard once and the next thing you’ll be doing is hitting the mat. I think Wilder himself said that to beat him you'd have to be perfect for 12 rounds whereas he only needs to be perfect for a second and you're out cold. Decent talent to have for a heavyweight boxer! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this could be all mind games, but as has been said in here it takes Wilder one punch to end the fight, I don't believe Fury has that power. Added to Eddie Hearn saying he's heard rumours around the Fury camp, I just don't like what I'm hearing. Hope I'm wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

First one was a graze, second one is one of the best punches you're ever likely to see in heavyweight boxing. Wilder threw so many bombs during those 12 rounds he's bound to have landed at least one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebell82 243 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Its a fascinating fight...Fury has that belief about him that means he can find a way to win any fight. However, Wilder has a one off knock power which is outrageous. Very difficult to call. If Fury stops Wilder by fighting fire with fire, as he says he going to - it'll be remembered as one of the best heavyweight performances ever. Most likely scenario is a fight similar to the last fight, can see it most likely going 12 rounds or Wilder eventually catching Fury with a bomb and him being counted out. Eitherway, they'll be Wilder v Fury 3 I expect. I think both prob beat Joshua. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A half fit Fury made him look like a cunt. He is an Olympic bronze medalist. Whilst he doesn't have elite level skills, his boxing fundamentals get underrated. He isn't good, but he isn't as terrible as people make out either. Wilder doesn't need to be technically very good, average will do - he trusts his power. Whilst it is a risky development strategy as only gives him one way to win against the other world level fighters. He is a one trick pony who's one trick keeps coming good. As somebody else said, Fury made him look a level below, but... still hit the canvass twice. Arguably the most technically skilled guy in the HW division, Luis Ortiz, fought him twice and had the better of the fight twice, still ended with KO losses - second one particularly devastating. I've watched boxing for 25yrs, and I struggle to think of anyone as consistently explosive and "out the blue" dangerous as Wilder is. Obviously Tyson was very explosive, but he more mauled opponents and broke them - young Tyson was a wrecking ball that hasn't been seen at the elite heavyweight levels before or since! Both Klitschkos hit very hard, but Wlad rarely threw his haymaker, and Vitali was more pulverizing that outright explosive. (Vitali is the heavyweight of the last 25yrs I'd least like to go 12 rounds with - not because I think he was the best during that time (3 or 4 obviously better, and another 3-4 debatable), but because I think 12 rounds with him would hurt the most the next day). The 90's heavyweights were all big hitters, but in different ways to Wilder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf the ref is still counting to 8 for fury the now, that was the slowest count ive ever seen in boxing, fury should have been done at that knockdown, instead we have people thinking he won it by 4 rounds 🤔 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingKirk 25,600 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Fury looks in phenomenal shape.

If he catches him again like that in this fight it will be a Wilder KO, but I just think and hope Fury will be even sharper this fight and can go the 12 without letting Wilder get that shot in.

You actually see it in the video, the ref leans over fury and ask him if he's fine or something BEFORE starting the count 😂 Still though, for a neutral like myself, im glad he did as we got more rounds of a good fight Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
