Official Tyson Fury vs Wladimir Klitschko Post Fight Discussion Thread

[beez721]

The dude is like 7 ft tall and 250 lbs... If he lands a flush power shot he can end fights or at the very least dramatically change the fight

obviously,, anyone that size can land a well placed punch and end a fight but does fury have the timing and accuracy to get it done without getting hit with something huge in return? I doubt it,,,, but this is what makes boxing and espescially heavyweight boxing so exciting. one punch can change it all. fury has heart and youth on his side besides the size and determination but I just think wlad is too much for him at this stage. I really feel its going to go down much like wlads fight with a younger tony Thompson. some struggles early but the strength and experience wins out in the end

It's an interesting fight. I don't know if Wladimir could do to Chisora what Fury did to him, so Fury definitely has something. But then I could see Fury beating a lot of Wlad's last opponents in a similar way to Wlad. That Chisora performance showed that Fury is a top contender imo. Wlad is the proven champion though and he has that one punch knockdown power that could change the fight in a flash. Can't wait to see this one.

Even the first fight in 2011 when Fury was just a kid, he schooled Chisora.
He beat Chisora and Kevin Johnson much more impressively than Vitali Klitschko. Kevin Johnson even said that Fury is a better fighter and punches harder than Vitali. Vitali imo would have easily cleaned out Wlad if they ever fought.
Young Fury toyed with Chisora that Wlad ducked 2x and Emanuel Steward didn't want Wlad to fight.
Fury was in the shape of his life for Haye and he would have given that coward a hiding. Too bad he chickened out.

The Klitschko jab and power will be nullified with defense, angles, far more advanced movement and Fury's great ring generalship. He'll take the fight to the areas where Klitschko is very weak and expose him.
Klitschko loses everywhere this fight goes. Wlad has a puncher's chance. That's it.
People are over estimating Klitschko as a boxer. He's no Lennox Lewis. He's very stiff, fights timid as hell, can't fight a lick on the inside and relies on excessive clinching to win fights. All these things will work against him if he decides to fight Fury.

This fight IF(big if) Klitschko decides to fight him, will be a modern SHW rendition of Ali-Liston. A coming out party for future dominant champ and the start of a new era in the HW division.

fury probably did hit kj harder than vitali but vit was old and never the big puncher that wlad is anyway,,,,I really like fury and think he has promise but surpised by so many like yourself that think hes ready enough to take out wlad. he will will learn and get better after this fight but I don't see him pulling it off at this point. hes too green and wlad doesn't appear to be shot beyond return just yet

Fury is far superior in every category to Tony Thompson. The fact that a limited big southpaw like Thompson gave so much trouble against a Prime Wlad is just small sample of the problems Fury will give Wlad and just shows one method that Fury can beat him. Really there are many other ways he can beat him.

[Szef]

Against what competition? Are you really boasting about a win over Povetkin? Haye ducking Fury twice has more merit than a win over Povetkin...

my god, you're ****in delusional

tony Thompson didnt give that many problems to wlad. he won maybe 2 of the early rounds and was dissected and taken out late. fury is most definitely a better combination puncher than the younger version of Thompson with more pop but isn't much if any better overall imo. Thompson also had the southpaw stance going for him that tended to nullify wlads jarring left jab. fury is more orthodox in comparison. he will give wlad some trouble but wont be able to hang in there for the long haul. good learning experience tho

[KnockoutNed]

Does Fury have one punch KO power now ?

He certainly has the power to hurt him badly and stop him but he doesn't need it. That's the thing. Unlike most of Wlad's hapless opponents who only could hope for a lucky punch, Fury has the ability to best Wlad everywhere the fight goes. With Wlad, he only knows how to fight one way, at one pace with, with one programmed strategy. If you take that away from him, he panics and is effectiveness decreases significantly.

Thompson outlanded Wlad in their fight and did give him quite abit of trouble. Forcing him to use underhanded roughhouse tactics like trip Tony and knee him on the way down.

Fury is superior in every single facet of boxing to Thompson. Fury fighting southpaw is not a simple parlour trick. Fury is 100% ambidextrous and fights equally as well southpaw as he does orthodox. There isn't a HW who can do this, there aren't many at all in the sport for that matter who can do it.

Wlad comparatively is quite a limited fighter, who solely relies on illegal strong arm tactics. Such tactics like embarrassingly excessive clinching and leaning that he uses in most of his fights that WILL NOT work against Fury.

I have Fury taking his jab away in the early rounds, pressuring him, and forcing the fight inside, then systematically breakign him down to a late stoppage in the 10th, in a FOTY candidate.

What say you?

You have got to be kidding.
