Tyson Fury was the dude who got sat on his ass twice....if I'm a puncher and I sit somebody down then even if they get back up I'm more than happy to take another shot at the guy, I mean hell maybe I didn't catch him clean often enough to have really done the damage or maybe I finally got the timing down late in the fight.
I can't see how Wilder would be 100% shitting his pants about a rematch when he dropped Fury 2 times. He fought him 12 solid rounds, sure Fury got the better of him most of the fight, but Wilder DID catch him twice.
I think once you figure out HOW to catch a fighter then you're more apt to do it. Granted Tyson Fury should still feel good about winning rounds, but he still got dropped twice which in the future doesn't bode well for winning more rounds. Chins don't improve over time either, each crack weakens them.
That said BOTH fighters should be absolutely dying for an IMMEDIATE rematch. 'Wilder-Fury II: Unfinished Business'
To me, everything that Wilder said post fight suggested he wasn't keen on a rematch. It was immediate to be fair so he can have a little slack. Now, he says he wants it so I take his word at face value. I'm firmly in the if anyone is going to improve, it's going to be Fury camp. He boxed beautifully given the layoff and with that fight in the bank plus another training camp where he isn't so wrapped up with shedding pounds, I think he comes in all together a much sharper fighter.
Wilder can't change much for me. Going back to Tito's point previous. It's one thing acknowledging that you need to make adjustments, but it's another to be able to implement them routinely. Wilder can throw a right hand without squaring his feet up, he can throw technically correct punches. But for much of the time he doesn't, he forgets what he's been instructed and resorts to brute force. As Primo said, if it's not ingrained now it never will be.
Wilder didn't poleaxe Fury due to a subtle change of pace or distance, he didnt lure him in with deceptive feint. He did what he always does, he ploughed forward and rattled off the best right hand he could muster and that particular one came off. I don't think there was any figuring out done.
That said, I agree entirely that he should be thinking on a very basic level, I chinned that guy once, I can do it again.
When God said to the both of us "Which one of you wants to be Sugar Ray?" I guess I didnt raise my hand fast enough
