Fury set the tempo early on and Klitschko never got into a rhythmn and lacked the confidence to turn it up a notch. Klitschko's lack of inside game and body punching also played a huge role in him not landing effective punches on Fury. Fury just fought and outboxed Wlad in a complete fight.
    It was exactly the things we talked about before the fight.

      2FAST was just too fast for him.

      It's the 2FAST Era now.
      Still taking the mickey out of Fury I see.

      He's the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.

        Same thing happened to Joe Louis at the end.

        It's inevitable, prime doesn't last forever.
        He simply didn't know what to do and couldn't find an answer to Fury's awkward style and physical attributes. Simply - as Klitschko fans we must give respect to Fury for this. No way around it.

            Ha ha, I can hardly believe this. Hats off to Fury, 100 percent.

              My prediction for this fight:

              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.

                I had a gut feeling that Fury would give Wlad a lot of trouble, and sure enough he did, and then some.

                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.

                  No I really like Fury I'm a fan.

                  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.
