Comments Thread For: Klitschko vs. Fury Reach Terms, Avoid Purse Bid Hearing

[SteveM]

I see this is a 60/40 fight in favor of Wlad. Wlad is getting up there and I think Fury will give him problems. He's a huge man that will dwarf Wlad. I think Wlad will lose against Fury or Wilder..

- which is it?

[johnm is...]

Probably, but maybe not. I'll be watching. Wlad doesn't tend to clinch guys bigger than him because he can just move around them, so that shouldn't be too much a problem.

No doubt I'll be watching. I'm excited for the fight (and the build up).

I don't think he'll clinch Fury much. I don't really think he'll need to. As you said, just move around him.

We know Fury is gonna come to fight, though. I don't think he'll waste his shot. Could make for a more interesting fight.

Time for the trash talking fatboy to step up and get his ass kicked....

Klitschko doesn't hold much against opponents his own size (Austin) or bigger (Wach). He does it against smaller HWs who rush inside.

I actually think Fury will try to fight inside, he is the better inside fighter of the two.

i dont buy it. he may be stubborn but hes not ******. he will be in the best shape people have ever seen i have no doubt in my mind

I guess we will see. Mind you, even if he is in the best shape of his life, that won't mean much -- if was just a little less lardy that would qualify him as being in the best shape of his life. If I see him at the weigh in without the spare tire and a much better definition in his core then I'll be surprised.

At last moment, Klitschko and Fury camps reached a deal. Today's purse bid was canceled. Fight is Oct. 24 in Dusseldorf, Germany. - Dan Rafael

Damn it, I was really hoping that this fight takes place in the US, wouldn't be surprised if Klitschko gets away with 150+ clinches like he did against Povetkin, this can turn out to be one of the most boring fights in the history of the heavyweight division, but I'm definitely looking forward to seeing it and I'll probably be there too.

I can't believe the amount of people righting off big tyson ?
The last time Wlad fought in madison square garden , he fought an undersized 6ft 3 inch inexperienced no name HW by the name of jennings ,this man had just 19 pro fights against absolute bums ,also jennings has little to zero amateur pedigree , yet Wlad didn't land no more than 3 punches on this bum in 12 rounds , all he did was his Wlad the Grab for the hole 12 rounds !
These haters telling me Big Tyson won't give a better show than that bum ?

He has to mix it up. Use his height and reach to keep Wlad uncomfortable and then bully him before Wlad can get comfortable with the distance and timing. I don't know if Fury can do that, but he has to try and fight that way.

It's going to be on HBO and RTL for certain.

There are discussions with SKY and ITV for the UK telecast. It will very likely be a PPV in the UK.

I kinda wish Wilder and Fury fought first.

Anyway I am definitely tuning in for this, I believe Klitshcko should beat him. Fury is famous for punching himself in the face.
