Fury will also come forward, and throw punches in volume, Wilder doesn't really have good inside work, and is better described as a puncher who can counter punch.
I see Wilder being tentative, because he knows he is up against a smarter, faster fighter, and Fury forcing the fight with confidence. If Wilder starts to land and get the better of him in exchanges I could see Fury taking it back outside and equalizing the field behind his jab, but I don't see any conceivable way Wilder doesn't get brutally stopped if it turns into a phone booth fight. If anyone clinches it's Wilder, but both fighters would rather fight than clinch, so I expect a good scrap.
