By Scott Gilfoid: Deontay ‘Bronze Bomber’ Wilder says he’s been visualizing knocking Tyson Fury out cold on October 9th. The former WBC heavyweight champion Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs) insists Fury WON’T get back up.
The hard-hitting Deontay has put in a lot of grueling hard work in preparing himself for Saturday to get his retribution in blood against the unbeaten Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs).
Wilder has changed his fighting style with the help of his new coach Malik Scott, and he’s ready to blast out the collosol 6’9″ Fury at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Fury has been continually reliving the glory of his seventh round knockout win over Wilder a year and a half ago in February 2020. For anyone who wants to sit and listen to Fury go back over his stoppage win over Deontay, he’s ready to blabber on about it.
Fury making his first defense in 20 months
As the WBC champion, Fury has been an enormous disappointment, as he’s sat on the title without defending it for the last 20 months. Fury is defending the belt now because he was FORCED by the U.S arbitrator, who ordered him to face Wilder.
“I’ve visualized this fight over and over again, and to make a long story short. In the end, I see me knocking him out COLD,” said Deontay Wilder to Premier Boxing Champions in predicting a stoppage of Tyson Fury on Saturday.
“He’s NOT going to get up, and I’ll leave it at that,” said Wilder in making an ominous prediction on what he’s going to do to Fury.
Whatever Wilder says, he means it, and there’s a good chance Fury will take a short nap on the canvas this Saturday.
Gilfoid can’t wait to see if the referee makes a ridiculous spectacle by giving a count while Fury is knocked out. Will the unconscious Fury be given a count as he did in his first fight with Deontay in 2018?
Froch says Deontay is not big enough
“I give him a chance because he punches like a mule kicks,” said Carl Froch to Pro Boxing Fans. “If he hits you in the face with a right hand, I’ve seen him knock people unconscious.
“Tyson climbed off the floor with that right hand that got him in the first fight. Tyson Fury outclassed him in the rematch, but it was the best Tyson I’ve seen for years.
“Is the best Tyson I’ve seen going to jump in the ring? I’m not so sure,” said Froch. “He’s had problems, family issues. We know that Fury is a little bit fragile mentally, but he’s also very, very mentally strong at times.
“Does he has a mental weakness? Does he have the ability to put it at the back of his mind and get on with the business? Hopefully, it’s the latter, and he can push things to one side and focus on his boxing.
“I like Deontay Wilder as a fighter; he’s exciting to watch, a massive puncher. He’s a bit mad, but we all are. I just don’t think he’s big enough for Fury. Fury is tall and rangy and very, very good. He has a solid brain when he’s in there.
“Wilder has just got that one big punch. He can turn a fight upside down and get him out of jail. I watched that Luis Ortiz knockout the other day. He looked for that shot, found a gap, and straight in with the right hand.
“People say he [Wilder] can’t box and can’t fight. Listen, he knows what he’s doing, and he’s getting better and better. He has a point to prove; he’s a man on a mission,” said Froch.
It sounds like a bunch of nonsense from Froch in talking about Wilder not being big enough. Heck, we just saw the much smaller Oleksandr Usyk defeat Anthony Joshua a week ago. Size doesn’t matter when you’ve got talents like Wilder and Usyk.
