Malik Scott, the new head trainer of former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, says people have it wrong when it comes to “The Bronze Bomber’s ring savvy.
“They underestimate his IQ,” Scott told Sky Sports. “He is not some big, dumb guy who just throws a right hand. There is method to his madness. Deontay’s IQ is very high. I watch him create, watch him put himself in position, set guys up into surgical traps. Deontay will knock Fury out inside of five rounds.”
Wilder fights current WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury on October 9 in Las Vegas.
His ring IQ is to find ways to land his right hand. He reminds me of Vic Darchinyan with his left. To his credit, he’s made it very far with that, however. But when it isn’t working and he’s in against a really good fighter, then we’ll see how high his ring IQ is.
He pulled a few tricks out of his sleeve against Luis Ortiz to ultimately set up his power shots hopefully he can show some ring saavy vs Fury who is so slick in that ring can’t wait for this rematch still haven’t seen Wilder outbox anyone but that bomb righthand is his guns and butter!
he was lucky twice
Vic was a master of setting up that big left, everything was going fine until he got setup with that big left from Nonito
Has Wilder been hiding his ring IQ from everyone??. Keeping it a secret???? Lololol
Oh no, his trainer just ruined his big surprise lolol
Wilder hit duhaupas withhundreds of his best power shots cleanly and couldn’t get the ko. It was a poor stoppage.
After Wilders display of ranting, excuses why he lost, ridiculous accusations , I’d say his IQ is pretty high (on something) !!
Wilder could very well pull off this upset. Do not have a heart attack with Fury is spread out on the canvas.
Bottom line. Wilder is dangerous with that right cross. I have noticed Wilder has bulked up in his training videos. This could translate into more power with that right cross especially when he commits to it using his body. Boxing is not just about gifted boxers who can box. Powerful KO artists with limited boxing skills are acceptable since power can be an equalizer in a fighting arsenal.
For real wilder can fight you don’t win a bronze metal if you cant,he just can punch hard as hell so he would rely on that right hand to bail him out,but I still think fury wins again,because he’s just better all around, but I hope it’s a good fight this time,because last time it was one sided.
