I mean obviously just standing there and getting hit while waiting for the moment to throw a telegraphed bomb is much better than actually boxing. It worked for him in 42 fights!

He lost cause his costume was heavy come on now. Skills are overrated in boxing.
So he is saying walking around for maybe 15 minutes with a bar on his back ruined him for the fight? Holy Fuck, massive respect lost for him as a professional athlete.Deontay Wilder Blames Heavy Costume For Weakening Legs In Fury Fight — TMZ

palm heel strikes? he's not no fucking bas rutten

is the most correct on the jabs, it's actually called a flicker jab. The "palm strike" in this scenario isn't to gauge distance here. The distance is already dialed in, Wilder is backed into a corner and Fury has him in the pocket. The "palm strike" is a pawing jab used to pull down Wilders defenses and again block his vision for the next cross. This kind of jab has been used by several greats in boxing history like Tommy Hearns and Muhammad Ali.
Fucking casuals.
1. Flicker jab feint
2. Flicker jab feint
3. Straight jab thrown intentionally short to "blind" Wilder from the next shot
4. Right cross
5. Pawing jab
6. Right cross
7. Pawing jab
8. Shovel hook
9. Left hook
All before Wilder even attempts to respond.
The use of a jab to "blind" your opponent is a pretty old technique that's criminally underused. Teddy Atlas describes it here.
First, pawing jab is the name of the technique.

I mean I get Wilder being a stubborn dude, but I don't see how he's going to acquire enough defensive and combination skills to reasonably win. I mean it's totally possible he can catch Fury with a big shot, but it's not very likely.Wilder exercises right to face Fury again in July
Top Rank chairman Bob Arum, Tyson Fury's co-promoter, told ESPN that the plan is for the fight to take place July 18 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Let me tell you guys how this is gonna go... Lame, wanted the AJ fight next.
Mikey Garcia got a solid win over Vargas last night at 147. DAZN had him listed at 5' 6.5", which is smalllll. I think he'd be better suited for 140, but maybe he can score a money fight with Crawford or something.
