Originally posted by Scott-Weiland View PostFury will likely tire dramatically after 5 if he is still hanging in there, with the punch accumulation, over training through his life excesses out of camp and pace he is unaccustomed to at world level, once he realises he can't avoid the left and rights by Wlad and the superior foot movement he can not negate he will be mentally shattered.
It should be a fun whilst it lasts, but these excuses flying in early are pathetic.

But he won't lose. 2fast Fury will be dancing under those lights. It'll be shades of the young Cassius Clay boxing Liston's head off. Wlad might retire in the corner when he can't get near Fury as he dances like Nijinsky under the moonlit German skies.
At one time, all my friends and workmates hated him, as a personality, and derided him as a fighter. Now, they like him as much as I do. And they no longer burst out laughing and tell me I'm as deluded as he is when I say I think he's going to be the champion of the world.

I actually believe he can do it, i don't know why, i just see it happening. I honestly think he has the perfect style to beat Wlad. Of course Wlad is favourite to win and rightly so, i just think Wlad is giving up his physical advantages and will have to show something different to win this one than he has needed to in recent years.
Fury has the longer reach and has a good jab himself, which may force Wlad to come in a little closer than he is usually comfortable doing. Wlad won't be able to tie Fury up and lean down on him which he does to everyone else because Fury is bigger, so when they do get close, i think Fury has the advantage and he can actually fight small on the inside for such a big man, Klitschko won't be able to hug him like he likes to. And given that Wlad doesn't seem to have an inside game, and can't hug fury like he usually does, he's going to have an uncomfortable time during the times when they get up close.
I just think Klitschko has been so comfortable doing the same thing fight after fight and those things won't work against Fury. Whatever weaknesses Wlad has to his game actually play into Fury's best attributes.
I think he can do it. Of course there's every possibility Wlad goes in and takes him apart but if anyone has a chance against Wlad, it's Fury.

As long as he's in the fight, he'll keep Wlad working hard, whether up close or at long range. And at 39 yo, I don't think Wlad can cope with that for 12 rounds. If he can't stop Fury, I think he'll run out of steam and get stopped himself in the later rounds.Last edited by kafkod; 11-19-2015, 12:16 AM.
