How Tyson Fury Wins The Boxing Match
Tyson Fury is a skilled boxer that used to have a reputation for being boring. He is more skilled than his opponents and uses footwork and movement to win things defensively and piece up his opponents. His style has changed and it was evident in the past Wilder fights as he was more willing to take big shots and deliver them himself. The Englishman has hinted at an entertaining firefight against Dillian Whyte and that's going to make things very interesting. His height advantage coupled with his reach means he'll look to keep Whyte on the outside as the challenger will look to get on the inside and land his patented power shots. Whyte likes to push the pace which should result in some exciting moments between the two. Fury has all the skills to get things done and finds the knockout in the later rounds.
How Dillian Whyte Wins The Boxing Match
Dillian Whyte is as tough as they come and he's not afraid to turn things into a firefight. Tyson Fury is practically impossible to beat by decision but not impossible to hurt. Whyte has to get on the inside and land his powerful shots in order to get Fury to respect him but also to find the knockout. Whyte is more technical than Wilder and should pose some challenges in his own right. Pushing the pace and creating moments of chaos will lead to big shots landing and Fury can be dropped. Whyte is going to have to take risks and fight hard to avoid being stuck on the outside against the bigger, longer man. He has the right style to give Fury trouble and a powerful shot could spell the end for Fury as long as Whyte is able to take damage from the bigger man. Whyte finds the knockout midway through the fight.
