dundeefc1783 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 In his latest Instagram video (training in what appears to be a red velvet ring in a forest), Wilder looks like a different animal. Really? Looks nothing more than a choreographed video to me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Really? Looks nothing more than a choreographed video to me Shandon has just had his head turned by the snazzy velvet ring. He's probably lobbying gym owners across Fife as we speak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 That ring is in his garden. Wilder only needs a few wee adjustments IMO to be back and mode dangerous. AJ got battered by Ruiz, came back and simply used his reach to easily beat him. Andy Lee pointed out to Fury that Wilder ignores his coaches and forgets to jab to the body and was able to simply jump on him. Not saying he beats Fury but a Wilder who turns up properly coached and ready to accept a strategy is a fighter I’d be excited to see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he us a fun watch, but coming back from a crushing loss, on the back of a draw in which he was mostly outboxed is a difficult thing. Asking him to grow into a smart and technical boxer in one camp is a huge ask, but Fury takes you to the trenches and I suspect wven if Wilder could come with a gameplan that was effective, he would be reverting to type fairly early in the fight. It is important to remember though that he can turn anyones lights out with one shot, so he can never be fully written off. He probably only does that to Fury 2 times out of every ten though. Still think he would blast AJ out though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think he would blast AJ out though. Always thought Wilder would wipe out the old weightlifter AJ but I like the look of him since his loss. What a scrap that could be. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and Wilder is copying Fury’s lovely up on the toes jabs as he moves. He’ll probably take a whopping step aside fee and take on someone who is still vibrating from the last time he laid them out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get paid a fortune not to fight, demand to be next in line, schedule a fight for when it would have been anyway and make another, smaller fortune knocking over some scrubber and looking good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isbalready going to get paid a fortune to not fight AJ or Fury, so it would make no sense to fight a guy that could make him look silly. He will fight a Breazeale level guy, KO1, then demand the big title fight, which if he is smart, will have already been agreed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 If any boxing promoters are reading this, I'm also willing to accept cash to not fight Fury or AJ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 If Fury just had a real trainer rather than Ben The Brain Davidson he would have smashed Wilder on the inside in the first fight as well and we wouldn't be having this problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1885 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Malik Scott, the ultimate yes man, is Wilders new head trainer. Dont see any drastic improvements happening.A side note, his fight with Luis Ortiz was about the worst I've ever watched. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilly Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Does anyone give Ramirez a chance tomorrow? I just don't think this is even a competitive fight from what I have seen of both. Taylor is better in every single department and will do an easy job on him tomorrow I feel.. Shame absolute no one cares eh? Broadcasters, the general public and so on not a hoot is given on the eve of such a massive occasion for Josh Taylor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have only seen good bits of Ramirez as for me this is Taylor’s toughest ever test and as close to a 50/50 as he’s had. About 50.1 - 49.9 in Taylor’s favour IMO. Had no fears for him against Prograis (too wee, not fit enough), the Thai lad (too vulnerable to the body) but Ramirez is bigger and stronger than anyone he has faced in recent years (Ramirez looks like he must drop a fair bit to get to fighting weight). Taylor was fantastic at rushing Prograis and using his shoulder to bash him about and tee him up and Ramirez will be trying to do that to Taylor. Taylor’s footwork going to be his key to victory IMO. Hope he does it but this is the first time I’ve not been confident he’ll win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiddy Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Whilst Ramirez camp appeared calm & collected at, & after, the weigh in + rammy, Taylor's could only be best described as chaotic. But no more classy as he was v Prograis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LargsTON Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Taken Taylor to stop him at 10/3. Still reckon itll be a points win but that price was too good to turn down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
