Pretty funny how people here have the answers on what wilder should have done to win. "Oh, he came into the fight too heavy and should have weighed 220 lbs" lol laughable.
the game plan for being 238lbs was to be strong enough to push fury off of him when he headlocked and leaned on him. Also, to have more thud behind his punches. The game plan wasn't to be light and out box fury. The game plan was to have the weight and power to push tyson off of him, throw body punches to wear him down to drop his arms and set up the KO within 6-7 rounds. They knew they weren't going to out box tyson.... So it would've been ****** to come in at 220 lbs range. Wilder would have been weaker and not strong enough to handle 277lbs leaning on him at 225lbs.
The game plan, weight and tactics were the best his team could have done to beat fury. It was working in the early rounds but furys ring IQ and the skills he has are just far too superior. Wilder did 20 times better than most thought he would have..including myself. It's just too hard to change trainers and incorporate all these different tactics in one fight at 35 years old when you have been used to laying people out less skilled.
Once wilder was hurt and started to gas out, he reverted back to trying to throw just the one punch. He also gassed himself out by throwing every punch with all he has early on. Even if it was at the body.
Bottom line is wilder couldn't have done anything else to win this fight unless he landed the 1 punch KO. He never fought with the new technique's before, so maybe if he implemented those in a few fights before he might have done better... But he's gonna be 36 and he's not going to change all that much.
Fury has his number. Plain and simple. I still feel wilder beats AJ, especially how AJ has been since ruiz beat him. He's so timid and afraid of taking a shot. Wilder still beats AJ, Ruiz, whyte and so on... Usyk, I'm not too sure of. Either way, it was a great fight and wilder gave his all and went out on his shield like he wanted. Hope he still fights AJ and doesn't retire, but its obvious fury is light years a head of the rest of the division. Usyk would only beat fury by points and I'm not sure he could given fury's dominance.
