More bodywork.... staying closer to Wilder. All sound like good strategies for Fury to take into the ring against Wilder. He'll certainly come up with something to avoid the bombs like the one that almost put him out in the last round of their first fight. Unfortunately, those strategies might work toward making the fight a bit duller than the first one. I'd hate to see a repeat of Fury-Wlad, or a hugfest with Fury draping his bigger body on Wilder and smothering him for 12 rounds. I thought their first fight was excellent and, coupled with the AJ-Wlad fight, it breathed some much needed life back into the heavyweight division.
Now.... what adjustments specifically is Wilder going to make? The guy might have a bad rap for being a lousy boxer, but he must surely be able to make adjustments to deal with Fury a second time around. As opposed to most on here, I thought Wilder acquitted himself fairly well in the first half of the fight. He made Fury miss many of his jabs, while himself throwing some good jabs. It wasn't the 12-round Fury dominance a few here thought it was. So I'd build off that. In the second half of the fight Fury clearly dominated. Wilder seemed to tire a bit..... I'd look at that. Stamina is more of an issue for Wilder than the weight itself. A few pounds north or south aren't going to make much difference in terms of Wilder's punching power. He needs to train appropriately so as to not gas toward the end, especially if Fury decides to stay close and use his bigger body. Also, it may be trying to teach an old dog new tricks but... I'd work a bit on Wilder's footwork. If Fury does decide to use his body weight advantage, Wilder would be well served to try and spin off Fury and get better angles to shoot his lethal right hand.
Anyway, I'm glad they're close to making the rematch happen, and even happier it'll be in Vegas. No other Stateside venue is worthy of Wilder-Fury II.
I can see Fury getting banged out this time, Wilder knows he can hurt him anytime and so does Fury, if Fury did come out more agressive i think that suits Wilder more, be interesting to see if Wilder has a plan B instead of just punching thin air all night.
So many many ways this can pan out and this rematch will be huge globally doing big numbers.
Brilliant clash of styles.
Boxing World Erupts After The WBC Officially Orders Wilder vs Fury Rematch
https://www.boxingnewsandviews.com/2...-fury-rematch/
I'm not a fan of the WBC, but good on them for ordering the rematch. Joshua can sit and wait for the rematch along with everyone else.
The deck will be stacked against Tyson Fury in Las Vegas, and even more so since he showed in the last fight he's much better than Wilder.
Las Vegas is notorious from dodgy referees who protect American boxers and permit them to foul (Weeks, Bayliss, Cortez) and corrupt judges (the three who worked Kovalev-Ward I).
I'm too against Vegas.
Bigger man George, bigger punch!
