Comments Thread For: Wilder: Ain't So Much What Malik Scott Taught Me; Brought Out Of Me What I've Already Known

[Coachcody]

This fight will struggle to get 400-500K on PPV (which mind you still isn't bad). Truth of it is the majority of people were expecting AJ v Fury. Now we're getting a 3rd fight most of us either weren't expecting and or wanting. The ticket sales / PPV buys will likely show that too. It's hard to sell a 3rd fight to the general public with the 2nd one being a domination of the other. So do they rely on the 1st fight being a Draw to create intrigue? I guess. Technically...this ISN'T even a rubber match.

This fight should be on regular Showtime...

Deontay Wilder: Master boxer. There is so much boxing knowledge in his brain, that it takes a legend like Malik Scott to help him remember it.

This may be my favorite quote of the year so far. Just rolling on the floor!!


Wilder sure does love him some Wilder, doesn't he?

So Wilder knew how to box this entire time?

[PRINCEKOOL]

Wilder shows flashes of "skill" when he goes to the body and he did a bit in the first Fury fight. He has a monstrous jab no doubt, but as soon as the going gets tough, all of his limited skills go out the window. At that point it's just, right hand, right hand right hand until it lands and ends the fight.

Fury's feints alone gave Wilder the fight of his life....that's what beat him in both fights. With a guy Fury's size, Wilder's right hand equalizes everything....IF he can land it. We saw what happened when the right hand was taken away.

I'll wait and see like I said earlier, but I want to know what his motivation here is. Is it to beat Fury and get comfortable again or, will he carry his newly acquired skills that he's know all along to the top again. We'll see.

It is his foundation, that needs working on. As you have pointed out, his Jab is actually quite good. If he could jab, with Tyson Fury as he did in the first fight 'Then he has a good jab'.

But his stability, movement and just balance 'Ruins a lot of things for him'.

He does not really need to chase Tyson Fury, he could just stand off 'Keep things tight, Jab, step here and there then BOOM'.

Fury has to come at Wilder, Fury knows this 'The longer Fury just stands off and try's to play the Riddler once again, eventually he will slip up and make a mistake as he always does since his comeback' i.e Fury has been there to be hit since his comeback, his defense is not impregnable.

You can't go 42-0 and not know how to box. You may get lazy and to confident ko
after ko. Why not hire trainer with excellent boxing knowledge that will take him
next level? Wilder is probably fooling us all.

Also, he was an olympic bronze medalist! THE BRONZE BOMBER

I think a person can go 42-0 if they fought a bunch of tomato cans. But I hear you Wilder does have some boxing skills.

I would bet Wilder.
