Breakdown is on point... which is why i think a rematch would similar.
I actually thought the first fight would be like this one as DW surprised me in the 1st fight as i was rooting him as a proud black man who doesnt have that coonish Money Mayweather mentality at times when commenting on black suppression...
But any technical boxing fans knew he was overmatched in boxing skills and Tyson Fury having a young inexperienced trainer... really was more of a motivating friend to him and being out of boxing with all the issues he had just simply even the playing field a little bit for Wilder to catch him with the big right.
But when I saw Tyson Fury dismantle, Klitschko... i knew he was a very good hw. He beat him both athletically, with boxing skills and psychologically.
Everyone... mainly white folks saying how Wilder is humbled now... but gotdamn its boxing and confidence and talking shyt and being arrogant sells tickets in boxing.
I remember Fury was all in Wilder's head too when he used to tell him that he was a real shy, easy going guy and very humble before his 30 or so wins... which was true.
Dont sleep on Fury's study of the game, like Ali, he knows a lot of boxing is psychologically winning before even you get in the ring.
Wilder needs to get with Floyd's dad... develope some better defensive movements as he's athletic enough to do and counter punching... i believe that could be taught in a limited time... also get with Lennox or Klitschko to show him how to effectively jab with range to throw the right... these two were masters at that... it probably won't beat Tyson Fury again, but it would help win against with an AJ or AR.
Bottom line... to qoute the great floyd money may... He's been "a hell of a fighter and had a hell of a career"
considering he's had no real boxing skill and started the sport late especially being from a state like Alabama where becoming a boxing champion or even making an Olympic team in boxing are slim to none.
Hell, I've been all over the deep south like ms, al, ga, tn, la for many youth sporting events for many years and I don't ever remember running into a boxing gym or anyone talking about it or associated with their kids or any kids boxing... football, track, baseball, bball, gymnastics, yes.
I'm glad he was on this big of a stage... im still rooting for him... but if he wants to be a real elite boxing champion with TF in the picture... hes gonna have develop better fundamental boxing skills at minimum defensive, counter-punching and cleaner jabbing with a new team of trainers.
