Billy Conn vs Deontay Wilder

[Yuzo]

jack sharkey said when he fought primo carnera he kept getting hit with a jab and just couldnt figure out why. so he said he had to draw an imaginary line and stay behind it. what he is saying is that, when you fight a big guy, you have to keep way out, or get way in. but never between where he can hit you and you cant hit him. i would say that conn likely elects to keep way out. and so, as it was with louis, if he keeps his feet moving, that keeps the other guy's feet moving. that gets wilder's feet in motion, and when they are in motion, they arent set to punch. that takes away a lot of the rights hands wilder can throw. and the rest he will have to make miss the honest way.

when wilder threw his right hand at fury, all fury had to do was duck under it, and wilder would sail it over his head. that is because wilder was throwing throwing his right hand at where fury's head was, not where it was going to be. they didnt all sail over fury's head. the couple times he did land it, he threw his jab and let fury go under it, and then threw his right hand where fury's head was going to be.

whenever you go under jabs, the guy jabbing will always try to move your head down to drop his right hand on you, like so.



the adjustment for this is to drop under the jab, and step back from he right hand, like so.



if fury could do that wilder would have never knocked him down. its a real slick move, but its not something fury could do, and if its not something conn can do, he will get hit, eventually, too. he can keep wilder's feet moving, and he can even make wilder miss a lot of right hands, but if he cant make them all miss, he will get hit by one, eventually.

Fury was big enough to gain the respect of Wilder, Conn does not have enough to offer to do the same.

conn could punch. he fought and knocked out heavyweights. he knocked out bob pastor and what is noteworthy about that is that pastor went the distance with joe louis.
