Comments Thread For: Klitschko vs. Fury Purse Bid Ordered For July 6th

[NEETzsche]

If there's one thing we can guarantee, it's that this won't happen.

Fury has by far the best engine of any active heavyweight, and averages 70, sometimes 80 punches per round. And he gets better as the fight goes on.

Wlad might knock him out. But he'll need to nail him to the floor.

It'll be interesting to see how Wlad deals with someone like Fury, because Wlad isn't really an agressive fighter. He stays behind the pawing jab and throws the missile a couple of times a round. If he's not careful, Fury's sheer punch output might just lose him the fight.

i think we'll see wlad adopt a more aggressive gameplan than usual, (1) because he'll need to get inside fury's arms, (2), because fury leaves himself so open and, (3), because fury might get under wlad's skin in the build-up. i'm expecting wlad to land something big around rounds 3-5 and everything will be downhill for fury from there

Interesting analysis.... People think that Fury is less of an athlete the reason? because he looks a certain way. Well. Fury throws punches during a fight. People like to talk about the Cunningham fight...well, Cunningham can punch!

I think Fury is for real. he has skills, he can move, he can punch and he can fight inside....Peter Fury has real confidance and knowledge.

I guess we will see what happens!

That might be true, but it's not in Wlad's nature to adopt a more aggressive style. We saw that against Haye also where he was very disciplined despite obviously not liking Haye.

I think it will be interesting to see what happens when Fury lands a jab square in Wlad's face in the first round and moves out before Wlad can counter. I fully expect that to happen and I'm intrigued to see what Wlad does. the same thing happened against Pulev, but Fury is not a cement block who can't move.

It'll also be interesting to see if Fury ties Wlad up on the inside and pushes his weight on Wlad.

As I said, Wlad is obviously the favourite, but he has been on a downwards slope since Povetkin imo.

Fury has said he'll go in there and try and take Wlad's head off. "Him or me" he said.

I think he'll try and outbox Wlad.

If Fury opens up that much I fear Wlad may very well kill him in the ring with a right hand.

If you're expecting Fury to fight at the pace he fought Hammer, Chisora and Abell at that is laughable, those guys followed him around the ring face first blocking shots with their heads, you believe Wlad is that guy ?

Wlad's haters have learnt nothing since they so blindly banked on Haye to beat him. You see what you want to see, with total disregard for truth and fact.

I take that as "come buy my fight, as I'll need the money because I'll be exposed as a fraud after this fight"

I have more confidence in Wlad ko'ing the goof than any other opponent deemed as dangerous as Fury has been built up by the Brits. Before Fury and after Haye you had guys saying Wlad ducked Chisora, some of this stuff is derived from some far removed fantasy world.

Are you hurt because I think Fury will cause Wlad some problems? You have a ******a issue my friend.

Fury has fought at that pace for the last 4 years. Wlad has never met anyone who throws as many punches as Fury or has the size he has, let alone the combination of the two. And someone who can move.

I'm I suggesting Wlad is the same level as the guys Fury has fought? Absolutely not. But that's the way Fury fights and the way I would expect him to fight in this fight.

I believe Wlad will fight the same way he's fought for the last 10 years. Which is stand back on the jab, grab on the inside and throw the occasional right hand.

It might be enough for him to win the fight. But is he going to go gung-ho and just go for the KO? Absolutely not.

You also had guys saying Fury ducked Ustinov or Pulev

Equal fantasy level.

Personally , I don't really care what you think. Fury is a challenge for Wlad - one Wlad might very well win. But he's still 39 and he hasn't looked good recently.

[KnockoutNed]

Ignorant people here are conflating physical appearance with athleticism. Sure Wlad would make for a better coverman for Men's Fitness but he doesn't have half the stamina that Fury does. Wlad threw but 18 punches a round vs Pulev and was huffing and puffing by the 5th. Fury is the all round better mover with Wlad being about as nimble as Frankenstein.

I'm not hurt at all, I just fail to grasp how Fury is going to cause these problems. His jab when not illegal is simply a scoring jab, Wlad's left arm carries as much menace as his right, the most feared right hand in the divison.

Fury whatever way you look at it or dress it up ducked Ustinov and Pulev, he could have been mandated a long time ago had you say faced a guy rooted in cement. Not only did he elect to forgo the IBF ordered eliminators he also dropped out of the WBC ordered eliminators too ! Upon Stiverne vs Arreola being ordered for the vacant belt, he became loudly vocal himself about Arreola being given the shot, the same Arreola whom was called up upon him removing himself, I remember a certain twitter tirade about some '*******' issues he developed. Nice try, real cute

Fury has fought one of two ways, either behind his jab or wildly gung ho when coming from behind on the cards, relying heavily on dubious and questionable tactics. If he falls behind on the cards, is dropped, takes a knee or for whatever other reason upon trying to make up a points deficit I expect he will revert to type as he has shown historically and outside of the UK where he has had favourable decisions go his way he can expect none of that bar more deductions for his infractions, with the standard of refereeing at the highest level their is absolutely no chance he can utilise his illegal and rough house tactics. The kid is in for a long long night if he makes it beyond the fourth.

Your post as always fails to give Wlad the slightest credit, you're in short saying Wlad can not adapt and will fight the same way he always has. Do you not believe Wlad makes adjustments and adapts in each and every successive fight when facing a different opponent and a new threat to his dominance ? I can't wrap my head around blind hate and biased Brit fan boy-ism. I've heard it so many times before. As David Haye said, "this is gonna be more one sided than gang ****"

Define not looking good ? Winning every round bar one and taking scores of 118-109 on judges score cards to me is looking good. I'll have to agree to disagree on this one, maybe.
