Shawn Porter, welterweight contender and television analyst, said that Tyson Fury has better boxing skills than Deontay Wilder. He added that it won’t matter.
Porter, breaking down the Wilder-Fury rematch on Feb. 22 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, acknowledged Wilder’s limitations on the technical side of the sport but believes his punching power will decide the fight.
“That’s what he does, he knocks guys out,” Porter said of Wilder. “You can’t count out his punching power. And I know when Deontay Wilder wins this fight, it will be because of a knockout.”
Wilder (42-0-1, 41 KOs) has failed to knock out only two of his opponents, his first fights with Bermane Stiverne and Fury.

Fury (29-0-1, 20 KOs) survived two knockdowns to reach the final bell in December 2018. He belives he should’ve been awarded the victory but had to settle for a draw, which set up the rematch.
The Englishman has predicted that he will stop Wilder in two rounds.
