Yeah, Steward was definitely missed in Wlad's corner. I picked Fury to win and am happy but damn that corner seemed lost. You knew they were in trouble the closer Vitali got to the ear of Wlad, every round he moved in further and further, eventually doing all the talking.
Banks was also all over the place during the Jennings fight.
I was telling the Wlad fans in this thread that Steward told Wlad that Fury was going to be the next champ after him so I think he would have better prepared Wlad for exactly who he was fighting. (not that he would have won)
I'm not trying to take anything away from Fury's victory. This was a huge upset and a win for the ages. Just when you watch Wlad's corner the last few fights the trust isn't there. Since Manny Steward passed away, you can see the communication isn't there in Wlad's corner.
Szef was begging me to bet him some actual cash. I'm a bit gutted that i didn't take his money now, but he's homeless so it all works out well.
I just checked the suicide prevention hotline in his area and there are reports of a young man in shambles muttering to himself something about Klitschko was robbed and threatening to jump off a bridge.
I remember watching one of Fury's first fights on ITV with him making bold claims about beating the Klitschkos and becoming HW champ.
I remember thinking he had no chance. I just didn't see it in him at the time.He was chubby, slow and very clumsy. He's improved so much over the last few years, it's scary.
Tyson Fury is THE heavyweight champion of the world. Probably one of the best wins by a British boxer ever. Insane.

The guy originally predicted Chisora to knock him out. Very embarrassing for him.
