... Sugar Hill trained Adonis Stevenson, but Adonis was initially trained by Manny Steward, tbh... which represents a significant difference...

Mark my words, Tyson CAN knock out Wilder (no, not with one punch, but he could get the stoppage).
BUT, he HAS to fight like Nigel Benn fought Gerald McClellan. Not making light of the end result for McClellan. But Nigel came in there focused and dare I say it, scared. After all, McClellan WAS the Deontay Wilder of the middleweight division, except he got most of his KO in the first round.

After Benn took a heavy knockdown in the first round of their fight, it looked like he’d be another notch on McClellan’s gun, but got up and fought like he was fighting for his life in some back alley against a killer. Nigel utilized great head movement and just entire upper-body movement. He threw quick, sharp, punishing hooks from a low crouch. He did what it took to win.

Similarly, Tyson can rest assured the right hand of Wilder WILL land once or twice in their rematch. But if he MOVES his head (unlike Ortiz) he has a good chance of the right hand not landing FLUSH.

If I was Sugar Hill, I’d make Tyson watch the first fight as well as the Benn-McClellan fight at least fifteen times.

ERM....... not sure about this

He lost me at Fury is a big puncher ..

Wasn't that also the plan under the previous trainer?

I know, Fury is no big puncher like Wilder, Klitschko, Tyson, Tua, etc.

BUT, look at Wilder’s face after their fight. It look worse than any other fight he’s been in. So, Fury knows how to mess you up, if not knock you out. He could get stoppages via cuts or unanswered punches ... in fact, he has quite a lot of them. Wilder IMO is a few steps better than Fury, but Fury has enough tools to win WITH THE RIGHT GAMEPLAN. See what I mean?

Sounds like a terrible plan

Hes not showing much power, although Kevin Johnson and Dave Allen, both durable types, say he can punch very hard. I guess he doesn't sit down on them enough. And this isnt the fight to change styles in really.

Fury had Wilder buzzed pretty bad momentarily after he got dropped in the 12th, but I think it was more so due to the fact that Wilder was completely punched out & exhausted from loading up and missing all night.

After Fury recovered from the kd Wilder looked like he had nothing left in the tank.

I think Wilder fights a more patient fight in the rematch and probably catches Fury with the same straight right he caught Ortiz with. Fury saw those looping right hands coming from a mile away, & unfortunately for Fury, I didn't see Wilder throw too many of those in Ortiz rematch.

Most of Furys success came from frustrating the hell outta Wilder & forcing him to get eager for a ko.
