As predicted, Fury is going to his superior movement and footwork, and will box rings around the old man.
Working on my feet full time, as the foot work will win this fight, not the punches, it***39;s all about the movement,***10;Come at me,

Wlad has always been one of those "love him or hate him" fighters because he does some things fantastically well, and other things, he can't do at all.variet of shots DOES = higher skill.
The answer isn't as simple as whoever has a better repertoire of punches is the more skilled fighter, but your attempt to convince people that a smaller selection of punches is a sign of a more skilled fighter, and that skilled fighters "discard" punches they "don't need". That's the most ridiculous thing i've heard since some cat said Pac was a 32 time champion. Even at the highest level, or should I say especially at the highest level, you never "throw away" tools in you arsenal, you never know when you might need the based on the opponent or the nature of the fight.
It's another thing to be economical with your punches, and movement, and to only show certain punches and looks, but that's part of ring IQ, and that's another story entirely.
Honestly, you would be laughed out the door of my gym if you tried to tell bring that kind of logic around.
Over the years, he has learned how to use his strengths to prevent opponents from exploiting his weaknesses, and this can lead to ugly fights.
Skills can be learned, talent is inborn. Fury has more natural, inborn talent than Wlad, no doubt about that. But Wlad has skills that Fury is still developing.
Fury's talent allows him to do things Wlad can't do, like throw punches going backwards or while moving to either side.
But that doesn't make him more skillful than Wlad. As I said, skills and talent are different qualities.Comment

Fury turning up out of shape and unprepared is Wlad's wet dream. I think that's what scared David Haye. Haye was expecting Fury to turn up fat and unprepared. When he saw a ripped, slimline, huge Fury, he shat his pants.
No doubt that Fury will be the fittest man in the ring on October 24thComment

Fury has a great engine, throws roughly twice as many punches as Wlad does over 12, doesn't rely on leaning all over and grabbing his opponent to conserve stamina, and has never gassed in a fight and been KTFO.
Wlad is also 39 and on the way out. Fury is 27 and in his prime.Comment

Remember when he posted all the junk food on his twitter and these numpties actually believed he'd seriously show up to the ring obese
Fury is a smart man, him and his team know Wlad is too one dimensional to handle the pace and the movement.
All anybody has to see is him getting outboxed and shamelessly quitting against TOS or going life and death with a rank novice like Janitor Jennings.Comment
