Wlad looking good in sparring. Even throwing a few body shots, could be interesting if he makes use of those on fight night.

Tell me what he did that was awkward in the Vitali fight other than fought in a shell for 36 minutes. I listened to Klitschko detractors blast Vitali for that fight yet the Fury fight against him was a masterclass, Vitali beat him senseless to the point it was more one sided than the Briggs fight, only Johnson had the intelligence to use a guard of sorts.

You have a strange definition of the term to beat someone senseless. Johnson was perfectly lucid at the end of the fight because Vitali wasn't able to land anything significant on him the whole night long. He won essentially because he was punching and Johnson was not. Fury's performance on paper looked the same, but he was able to penetrate KJ's defence with a lot more regularity and catch him clean a number of times. He didn't beat him senseless either, but it was a more impressive win for me, even though both fights were technically whitewashes.

The criticism I believe came from the fact that Johnson wasn't considered all that and Vitali was this stone cold killer with a near perfect knockout ratio. The fact that he couldn't get past Johnson's sub-Toney shoulder roll was a big knock on him. Fury was still a comparative novice when he fought Johnson, and didn't have such a weight on his shoulders. Different contexts.

Over time you come to admire Haye for what he was, a ruthless business man with more skills than he will be remembered for, unfortunately because he chose to dance, dodge and flop as opposed to really leaving it all in the ring, I would very much have loved to have seen Haye go on and make a significant impact in the weight after his loss, unfortunately he will be remembered more for the Wlad fight over all else. His win over Valuev and Chisora were good victories not great but fun for what they were, the Chisora one especially. I admired the win over Valuev but was far from convinced at the time when all around were weeping semon from the end of their d1cks, I notice a good few of his fan base turned on him and are now firmly in the corner of Fury.

Life can be ironic at times.

I'd really like to see some evidence of this. You repeat it like a mantra, as if all British fighters are interchangeable and share a common fanbase but based on what? The fact that they're British? Are you even aware of the intense domestic rivalries in this country? Fury vs Haye was an intensely polarising fight and one that few fans had any trouble picking a side to come down on. The fact that both fighters were British was absolutely irrelevant. So why would someone formerly supportive of Haye suddenly have started supporting Fury?

Ironically, if any British fans shifted allegiance in the aftermath of the Haye fight, it was to support Wlad. The number of British posters who now give him his dues has increased markedly since then, while the hatred and ridicule of Fury hasn't really abated, and I doubt ever will.

Who's the sparring partner? Slapping about cab drivers in sparring means nothing.

Cant wait for this one, Klitchko easy win, but still worth to watch.

I just noticed that this thread has like 2k more post than cotto-Canelo

The Cotto fight attracts more women, it's clear their are more men on the site to women, hence why their is more replies on this thread.

Lol the briggs fight was probably the most one-sided destruction I have ever seen. Ian John Lewis should be banned to this day for allowing that side show to continue for 12 rounds.

Nobody's blasting Vitali for anything, but he didn't beat him senseless. He kept it long and used his activity to overcome Johnson. It was awkward because Johnson is an awkward fighter.

Fury just beat him more in all departments. That's it.

What is it that Johnson does that makes him awkward ? He has no offence, you can literally do as you please to him for 36 minutes. I fail to see what is awkward about a punching bag aside from unless you hammer him like you're intent on punching yourself out in a round or two you're not getting him out of there. He has an awkward defence, is that it ? Anybody can shell up for 12 rounds if they are in the least bit durable.

Are we saying Fury did a better number on him ? I don't recall Fury goading him at any point actually attempting to induce him out of his shell, he looked more at ease knowing nothing was coming back, likely the reason he's matched against non punchers. How many rounds did Johnson win versus Fury and how many versus Klitschko ? Fury may have an higher activity than the forty year old Vitali but his punches clearly weren't as troubling to Johnson.

LacedUp: You want some sort of signature bet if you're backing Fury to win? Maybe we can work out some other parameter like how long ze fight lasts. Let me know.
