55. "at this advanced age and after 44 fights? Seems far fetched" In response to In response to 52 Tue Feb-25-20 02:42 PM by Tiger Woods
Even before this fight, Luis Ortiz was putting it on him stylistically before he got caught by Wilder's power. His style is raw and leaves him so vulnerable...and even still, that was good enough for 42 out of 44 bouts!
But to think he can reinvent himself drastically enough to go outbox the same opponent who just outboxed him, I just don't see it. He'd have to be an entirely different fighter to fare much better next time out. And, signs point to them running this fight back for a third time in the 2020 calendar year...how much different can he appear in that narrow of a window of time?
If Wilder is serious about becoming a more sophisticated fighter then he should pass on his rematch clause and take a tune up fight before a 3rd Fury fight. Let Fury go fight Joshua, and have Wilder take a way lighter opponent then come back to complete the trilogy in 2021.
