Wladimir Klitschko had a great career but age caught up with him

Same thing happened to Joe Louis at the end.
It's inevitable, prime doesn't last forever.

I'm honestly not sure who will win.
Klitschko is clearly a better athlete and the more skillful boxer, but he's a couple of months away from his 40th birthday and looked a bit slower in the Jennings fight. Fury has decent boxing skills, and he's younger, bigger and full of confidence.

3/4 quarters of the way through the fight, I started rooting for Fury - just because he was fighting with more passion, confidence and swagger compared to Klitschko who looked defeated and impotent.

He's the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.
The Gypsy King.
All follow.
I'm a fan of Wlad but I'm glad Fury won.
I joke around with the 2FAST stuff but I even think that names amazing.

Wlad's overrated jab was neutralized by Fury's constant head/upperbody movement. The feinting/switching had him completely unsure of what to do, at one point doing a complete 360 in the ring. Wlad needs a stationary target so he can set his feet to land the right hand. It's been proven time and time again in Klitschko's career that he has a rough go with southpaws and decent movers.
Fury outboxes any Wlad.
