Comments Thread For: Fury: I Will KO Klitschko and Pulev Like Cunningham!

[bennido]

How did Byrd beat Vitali? By hanging on his arm so he could help blow out his shoulder? And how anyone can watch Fury fight and believe that he is an elite heavyweight is beyond explanation.

Agreed. I didn't see any indication in Saturday's fight that Fury is anything more than a clumsy giant. He wrestled with Cunningham and wore him down with his sheer weight and size ( got deducted a point along the way ), set him up with his forearm and landed a half-legal blow to finish an exhausted opponent. Let's face it, none of this is gonna work against either Klitschko ( both big, strong, physical and lightyears ahead of Fury in terms of technique ). And if Cunningham can drop Fury, either K-bro is gonna pound his face into his throat.

All that being said, you can't blame the guy for running his mouth and making noise, from a business standpoint. Gonna be interesting to see how he fares against Pulev, who is also a technically polished HW with a good crack ( who KO'd a similar sized man in Alexander Ustinov ). IF Fury wins, which is up in the air ( I doubt he will ), it'll be interesting to see if his handlers really feed him to the K's right away...

Like the article says, Fury is way too hittable. He's also slow as hell, even for someone 6'9". Either klitschko KO's him rather quickly. 5 rounds at the most.

Man the HW division sux! Will we ever start to see some turnaround?

something for Chisora fans

My tendon tore and it hit a nerve, so I couldn't lift my left arm..it wouldn't obey me.
I had two choices: 12 years ago in the fight against Chris Byrd....because the tendon was torn, the pain was unbearable. I was ahead (on the cards) and I lost my world championship.
In Munich (against Dereck Chisora), I chose the second option, gritted my teeth and pulled myself together.
I would have rather died than lose my title against that creep.

Vitali Klitschko
about his shoulder injury in the fight against Dereck Chisora


no comment...

[SN!PER]

The problem is, the Klitschko brothers don't move like 6'7 guys, they move like smaller guys.

I'm not saying change isn't possible, but from what I've seen--Fury, Price, Tye Fields, Deontay Wilder, and most other guys of that size don't seem as coordinated as the lighter guys.

Really, I'm not sure why, but the Klitschkos move very very well on their feet, something that is rare at that height and weight.

After a stressful day this has put a smile on my face, thanks for posting.

Lol.. you must have a short memory.

Fury beat Kevin Johnson and Dereck Chisora more impressively than Vitali did. Chisora actually gave Vitali one his toughest fights ever. And surely you can't disagree that Vitali is terrified of Haye? Why would K2 promotions say they'll fight the winner of Haye vs Chisora and then after Haye knocked out Chisora, Vitali suddenly shuts up and stays quiet about the fight - even starts outright lying about things to try and cover his tracks.. lol..

I think you already know he's scared of Haye, you're just too much of a klit fan to admit the truth..

Oh god, not this again. Chisora fought a 40 year old Vitali, who was fighting with one arm, and STILL lost a very wide points decision.
Did you actually watch the fight, or do you just check boxrec and see that Vitali didn't knock him out?

Chisora got a boxing lesson by a 40 year old man who injured one of his arms.


Key words: 40 year old. Injured arm.


And Chisora still got punked (after all pre fight antics)

I feel the hype is rising...

Hope Pulev doesn't spoil it. Bring on Tyson
Shame, he'll become 'a bum' once Wlad KOs him, but it's just like that these days..

More importantly Chisora that fought Fury and Chisora that fought Vitali are two very very different fighters...

He always will be a bum. Either klit decapitates him and won't deserve any credit as he's on the same skill level as Wach and Pianeta.

Like I said, I think Fury will have his hands full with Pulev, who moves very well and can punch. Damn, I kinda would like to see Chris Arreola vs Fury just for the potential amount of pre fight trash talk. Who'd you think wins that? Arreola in the shape he's in now could KO Fury easily given the 2nd round knockdown we saw vs Cunningham...
