[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Malik Scott, the head trainer for heavyweight contender Deontay Wilder, had previously explained that his fighter has been working on different tactics - like body shots - for the upcoming trilogy fight with WBC world champion Tyson Fury.

Hope he's been teaching Wilder how to throw combinations. Fury is just going to wear him out by laying his fat body on him every chance he gets and then drop him when Wilder's legs are gone...

This should have been Wilder's plan all along. And any other heavyweight fighting Fury. Had Fury fought better competition, he would have already been laid out by someone smart enough to go to his pudgy mid section. I still say he doesn't even make it to the fight. He isn't even in the US yet and the fight is less than a month away.

Lol I call BS. When have you seen wilder ever focus on the body? They're trying to confuse Fury. Doubt it'll work.

As bad a trainer as he was an actor.

I agree totally with this statement. From all of the videos that I have been watching I see Wilder focusing more on body shots. It will be much harder for Fury to dodge body shots because he is a big hulking man with a large whale of a body. That should have been his strategy for the start. Hopefully he will stick to this strategy once Fury starts playing games, feinting and try to tie him up. I also hope that Wilder can add some mass to those boney legs of his so when Fury starts leaning on him, he can handle it better.

That was my initial thoughts too. I worry Wilder will get caught coming in as it's not something he's used to doing...

Not trying to be negative.......

but has Wilder's trainer ever trained elite level fighters before, on such a big stage?

I'm not sure that Wilder is adept enough to focus on body punches because that would leave him more open to counters. I'd like a more competitive fight but Fury is just a bad style for Wilder. Wilder needs someone not as mobile who stays in the pocket.
