Official Tyson Fury vs Wladimir Klitschko Post Fight Discussion Thread

[Jewish-Reptile]

Hmm, that's what Cunningham did and Tyson played quite dirty to win against the much smaller man. Wilder ain't small lol

Wlad ain't so small.

Yeah he is bummed. Its understandable wence there has to be a loser when there is a winner. It must be hard to prepare and have a bad day when there is no game next week, or so. I can understand the feelings that generate from a big match like this.

This is the difficult part, like the soccer and football you pik up dust down, Wlad is 40 before a rematch, Fury wants a rematch after a gimme fight delaying all this even longer. It's a long time to have to stomach a defeat against a fighter you believe your own man is better than and did not give a true account of his true abilities. Wlad needs to unlock the belief in himself and refind what made him vulnerable, simply he has to take more chances, if the jab does not work early go to something else.

I have a hard time seeing Wlad. win the rematch honestly.

But that's why they have to fight.

We don't really know.

I had Wlad as a solid favorite, but consistently said Fury had a legit shot. I also stated that if Fury can take away Wlad's jab his chances go well up. Obvious maybe, but I was thinking he may do so.

Lol, that's the best you could muster? Wow. I actually stand by that statement.

Wlad needs to unlock the belief in himself!

Belief can only take you so far:

"The mind is willing but the body won't follow" - Fury

Wlad ain't so small.

Yes, but he's afraid to throw against Fury.. while Wilder will come in throwing bombs

[SN!PER]

I'm backing Wilder to pull the upset against Fury.

Again, I understand why everyone is doubting it, but I'm taking all bets.

My initial analysis is one of, well, bemusement, for lack of a better word. Watching Fury fight is like watching a giant with no rhythm attempting to dance; but somehow making it work for him.

Fury is very awkward, very unorthodox, almost goofy in his delivery of the sweet science; but it works. Klitschko is 40+, so I have no doubt his reflexes aren't what they once were; but I do not feel that his age really played a factor in this fight as much as the general complacency and safety-first style he's adopted over the last 10 years.

Klitschko has gotten in a bad habit of waiting on his opponent to make a mistake so he could counter, depending on his usual superior size, strength, and reach to keep his quarry at bay in the meantime. And, it has worked every single time to great affect until Saturday night.

Fury is bigger than Klitschko and has a longer reach. He also moves surprisingly fast for such a giant of a man and, awkward as he looks, is very nimble on his feet. Wladimir allowed Fury to dictate the pace of the fight and fell into his offbeat rhythm. He waited too long, perhaps mesmerized by the jangly, herky-jerky show which was unfolding before his eyes. By the time he realized he was behind in the fight, it was too late.

Anyway, congratulations to the new champion. It wasn't a slugfest, a blood bath, or a war. It was kind of like watching a giant Buster Keaton flee from Jack Dempsey, all the while, slapping him silly.

Join us.

It's a good time to be a fan of Fury, plus then you can actually admit that you find him hilariously heartwarming.

And he sings like an angel too.

Lol, Wladimir and Tyson Fury are polar opposites out of the ring and a lot of the admiration I hold and adhere too is based on that.

I'm neither here nor there with Fury right now, and I'll be rooting for my man again come next year. I don't hold any grudges or bemoan Fury at all, I could even root for him against certain fighters take Haye for instance, Briggs even, more too I honestly think I'd be behind him for a Wilder fight, not sure who'd win but I'd certainly lean towards Fury. That could be an interesting thread with the UK versus US style engagements, kinda 50/50 fight too, I just think Wilder's power has been overrated look how he's going 22, 9 and 11 rounds now he's raised the competition level, his power is proven to be overrated.

On topic, I'm somewhat excited by the division opening up. My passion lies with the division, I don't need to justify that to anyone, I've been a regular on the heavyweight threads since I arrived here. Any and all of them.

A true fan is able to view things objectively and apply fair criticism where needed. Scott's actually become a decent poster in the aftermath.

You're sig should at least have Kafkod on there. Some of the others like Hugh Jass, Golovkin and Bardock why aren't they there, those guys were ever presents on this thread........ O wait, Doe !
