Is Tyson Fury getting enough credit for his win?

Yeah, if anything he's getting too much credit. He did enough to win, but I can't call it an impressive performance. I think it's great for the sport that Fury win. But if you're a boxing fan you have to be honest and recognise that it was a dogshit fight. It was interesting initially but neither guy ever picked it up.

The ironic thing is that Fury won that fight doing all the things that make Wlad haters hate Wlad so much. Staying on the outside, pawing with the jab, committing to very few power shots. That was an insanely low contact fight for the heavyweight crown. But he did what he had to do to beat Wlad. What will be interesting is the public reaction if he beats Wilder the same way.

I checked the compubox just after the fight. Anyway: the Pikey took it round by round and took no risks (especially in the 12th round). :)

Wow, those are worse than I thought. worst than floyd/pac i think.

Fury got enough credit. He landed about 7 punches per round, doe. https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/12308419_1002274989835130_3680081030514259087_n.png?oh=8fffbb85034f41d71a7988ec16853025&oe=56F026A2&__gda__=1458021832_488ae8a61cb7215279f0a69a4b59a5ab look at those numbers man, awful :lol1:

Well, you're pushing an agenda right here. Fury is getting plenty of credit. His switching, movement and roughhouse tactics befuddled Wladimir. He deserved the win, no doubt. The issue for most, though, is how a great champion could not adjust and why he was so tentative. Why was nothing said in his corner? It's also worth pointing out that both fighters had pathetically low punch accuracy levels. Yeah, if anything he's getting too much credit. He did enough to win, but I can't call it an impressive performance.

the fight was ****, i'm happy that fury won. i was very happy when buffer read the verdict, but still, awful fight mostly due to wlad.

No. Too much focus on Wlads's age. Before the fight, they were complaining about Wlad being the most deserving of the pound for pound #1 spot. Now all of the sudden he's shot? That makes no sense. I don't think he's shot. He just needed guidance. As I have said elsewhere, this version of Wladimir reminded me so much of the early rounds in the Calvin Brock fight - terrified to throw or double up. It was bizarre.

I've seen a lot of people comment about the fact that Klitschko's age has caught up with him or that it was a mixture of that and Fury's ability. But have you contemplated the possibility that Fury's style was a nightmare for Wlad? Bigger with a longer reach and so unorthodox/wrong with his technique that it works. The great Emmanuel Steward predicted it years ago: He basically out-klitchkoed Klitschko Well, you're pushing an agenda right here. Fury is getting plenty of credit.
