I'm suprised by the lack speak around these parts about this fight. I'm well hyped for this one.... It would seem the big gypo has a SIX PACK which spells trouble for vlodomeer clit... I'd be interested to hear what the great minds of FIGHTBEAT have to offer in terms of a prediction....and that
I think Wlad wins but I want nothing more than for Fury to knock his boring ass out. Such a disgrace that a guy who's 6'6 over 240 pounds fights like such a bitch.
Will say this. If Fury can FORCE an inside fight and have the stamina to keep it up for at least 6 rounds, he has a chance at pulling the upset. But he has to get past the early rounds and wrestle Wlad inside, tire him down. But I suspect that Wlad will land his right hand in the early going within those first 4 rounds and it's good night. Fury just doesn't have the chin to take Wlad's best, even an old Wlad. But if he can somehow weather the storm and take it deep, his chances increase.
I think Fury will win this. His height will gove Wlad a lot of problems. The only two decent tall fighters that Wlad faced are Mccline and Sanders, IIRC (no Irish, Wach, Pulev and Pizzetta, or whatever the fcuk his name was, are not decent), and Wlad didn't looked too hot in there. Also, I think that age is definitively catching up to Wlad. He looked very beatable against Jennings, I tought the fight was rather close. My only concern is Fury walking into a bomb early and getting stretched.
With all due respect Mr Irish....that is a totally LEGIT and insightful observation in the world of FIGHTBEAT. Respect to wald...
Fury is a big silly goose....so wald pussa punch/clinch tactics won't be as effective as it was with the smaller opponents he's been feeding on..... wald pussy better get him out of there ASAP...I think he will....wald pussy by KO 3..the longer the fight goes on the better it is for Furia..
Jab/right hand...that's all wald pussy will need...if Steve Cunningham can drop Fury...wald pussy can do the same...
I want Wlad to win so badly I can taste it. Fury annoys me no end. But this fight could go either way for me.
Agreed. Not sure about "Severe" but he is in decline. Two years ago Jennings would have been stretched. Wlad still has that huge left hook though,
If Klitschko throws it and this presumes Fury is going to be as cocksure as he was against a much smaller Cunningham.
Is furry among the top 100 boxers on the planet pound for pound? Would he defeat a prime hank akinwande?
Tyson Fury is extremely overrated. Who has he beat? an old past his prime Cunningham? a not that much Chisora? Old Wlad is going to ABUSE him and Fury will be running all night like a virgin girl who is about to get raped.
Panchy at what point do you begin to consider the effect of aging on a man who many say was never that good to begin with.............:dunno:
That is exactly my point: Fury has not beaten anyone good and his two sole 'names' on his resume were C level boxers.
There was Another Thread on this Fight a Couple Months Pack, that Generated Decent Discussion... @ the End of the Day, REED Can't See a Guy, that was DROPPED by Steve Cunningham, Reacting Very Well 1nce He TASTES the Punch of Wladimir Klitschko...Fury Will Look to IMPOSE Himself on Wlad, May Even Hurt or Drop Wlad Early, but EVENTUALLY, Wlad Hits Fury Back & ENDS Him in 3-4 Rounds Max... It'll Be a VERY Entertaining Heavyweight Fight Though...Fury Talks the Talk & Will Attempt to WALK the Walk, Which Will Get him KO'ed Sooooooner Rather than Later... REED~
If Fury drops Wlad.... I don't see Wlad being tough enough to survive it, honestly. Be that as it may, I fear that Fury will come in too over confident and just walk on to the Wlad right hand and the fight ends there.
It's def a live fight if only because fury has the height to get to wlad.....his height in combination with a southpaw stance might pose particular problems if the Thompson fight is any auger. And obviously, in anything resembling a two way figh wlads very liable to completely fall to pieces. But Fury is just such a gormless clumsy, greasy oaf I can't help envisioning wlad landing something huge while fury trips over his feet trying to imitate willie pep.
Your Last Sentence Explains WHY REED Wouldn't Count Wlad Out, Even if he's Hurt/Dropped... Upon Hurting/Flooring Wlad, Fury Would BOLDLY Pursue, Would Get Careless/Wreckless/Wild and Get STRETCHED by a Counter...Even in the Midst of Adversity, Wlad's SKILL and POWER will Be There... REED
Yeah but he's also folded mentally as well before. I'm curious if Fury could take him there again. I have my doubts, but I give him a better chance than most.
It's rare that I defend Wlad, but at least he was born with a brain so he was able to improve. Khan's too fuckin stupid for anybody to fix him.
And one of those C level cruiserweights knocked him on his ass. Joey Abell was landing flush clean punches early on against Fury. I agree (for once) with Panchy. Wlad Pussy by TKO4 in a laugher.
Anthony Joshua is the only heavyweight I've seen who has real potential. Fury, Wilder, these guys are fuckin BUMS!
