Can't agree with you about Wilder not having a jab, proth

If you watch his highlights reels you'll see that lots of his KOs come from the old one-two, jab followed by straight right. Like Alan said, he uses it as a range finder.

I really think that fight was as much about size as anything. Wilder has just never fought anyone as big as Fury, he couldn't bully him and fight on the front foot like he always has and he just didn't know what to do.

Absolutely superb fight, well done Fury. Really interesting to hear Fury say that he was underweight and overtrained for the first fight. If that's how he felt no wonder he changed trainers.
