That would be Teddy Atlas, who said during his weekly podcast, “ THE FIGHT with Teddy Atlas,” that Wilder “is fighting for his existence. However - and this is a huge however - one Hall of Fame boxing legend is picking Wilder over Fury. And when Fury realizes he cannot score the KO, he will win the late rounds with what got him to the top - brilliant boxing. Wilder will be more cautious, more evasive and smarter. Ali-Foreman, Holmes-Cooney, Mayweather-Alvarez).Ĭan Fury KO Wilder this time? Probably not. But, remember, it’s brains that usually conquers power in the boxing ring (e.g. That’s what makes their fights so compelling. Predictionįury’s boxing IQ is genius level while Wilder’s punching power is atomic level. A KO win of Fury - who has never been knocked out - would also certify Wilder’s claim that he is the hardest puncher of all-time. ![]() However, a win for Wilder - especially a knockout - would vault him to the top of the division and also give a nugget of truth to some of his wackadoodle theories of why he lost last time. He will fall into the second-tier of heavies, alongside former champ Andy Ruiz, and Wilder would have to re-qualify for a title shot by fighting a non-champion.

Scott, whom Wilder knocked out on his way up the ranks, is not a pedigree trainer. He also bizarrely accused Breland of spiking his water with a muscle relaxer before the fight. Wilder accused Breland of betraying him for throwing in the towel during the Fury rematch. “The Bronze Bomber” has replaced trainer Mark Breland with Malik Scott. So, for this bout, we can expect a similar strategy - attack, attack, attack - to keep Wilder off-balance so he cannot set up his dynamite right hand. Fury credits lead trainer SugarHill Steward with infusing his slick style with an aggressive Kronk Gym gear. Nobody believed Fury when he said he would set aside all his fancy moves that he used to earn a draw against Wilder in their first bout and would become a mauling monster in the rematch.
