im not litigating the fury fight, im saying that the most technical HW in the world gets hit hard by him. everyone else is less defensively capable, so everybody wilder fights will get hit hard multiple times. period
Getting hit has nothing to do with being technical
My point is, Fury was coming off a layoff and took the fight. He slipped a few times and got hurt it happens. Especially coming off a layoff... there’s a reason its called ring rust
Ruiz’s style is totally fukking different, yall nikkas do understand what styles is? He’s a counterpuncher that stalks you with good defense and keeps his hands high. He’s not standing there with his hands down throwing flurries like Fury. He fights short, he slips, he plays range, moves his head, and he waits for counter opportunities. Aka... he fukking boxes and has hand speed and the power to hurt you.
I could understand if Wilder was offensively like a Pac, stringing punches together, showing different angles, throwing different combos... but he’s not. He’s a pop shot fighter and if Ruiz makes him miss, Wilder is food on the inside. Wilder can not box especially on the inside. His jab is not going to stop forward motion from Ruiz. His best bet is his awkwardness and his straight. It would be about who can hurt who first like most HW fights.
You can train for fighters like AJ and Wilder at heavyweight... you can’t train for fighters like Ruiz so easily because his combination of size, speed, power, and skill at HW is not often seen
