Fury looks like some slob in a pub' he's getting wrecked.

Actually I feel like he's in better shape than he normally is before he starts a camp. Good on him

[Tobi.G]

pretty much the way I see it altho I got wlad 60:40. fury is so underrated by many that its not even funny. he has some flaws obviously but for a 6'9 250+ fighter the man can move and throw alot of punches from all angles. I cant see how wlad would just walk right thru him. hes going to need some rounds to figure him out

Absolutely. Really looking forward to this!

im honestly excited as hell for this fight. obviously tyson is a long shot but regardless its still an intriguing matchup. if fury is able to keep his distance and use his jab it should be good. i just have a feeling klit is going to have to get on the inside to do real damage. i dont see this fight going the distance as both fighters are prone to being knocked down. i dont care what anyone says tho i cant wait and this fight is huge. lets say hypothetically fury gets lucky and somehow knocks klitsckho out. can you imagine how big wilder vs fury would be? it would bring so much new life into boxing that fight would be gigantic. as a fan of boxing im going to root for fury. I used to hate him but he really grew on me over the years him winning would be best thing happen boxing in awhile and i appreciate all of wlad skills i even enjoy his fights that most dont i think he is probably the most under rated and under appreciated heavy weight champion ever. but still him being at the top is not helping boxing grow in the states casuals and hardcore fans alike want life in the heavyweight division

If Fury gets lucky or Wlad is faded and he loses, then there will be a rematch.

If Wlad then loses the rematch, Vitali will return and abuse Fury.

Either Way a Klitschko stays champ......maybe....

[Easy Work.]

Fury has no idea how badly he is going to get exposed

I am Wlad's fan from day one and I've watched (and rewatehced all his fights). I also followed Fury from the first Chisora fight. Fury improved impressively.

I really see this as 50:50 fight. I think Fury from Chisora fight beats Wlad from Jennings fight. This is potentially Lennox(Wlad)-Vitali(Fury) if you know what I mean..

First , nothing beats a good HW fight , with all due respect to the other weight class (at least for me).
50:50 is a bit optimistic ..... there is NOTHING to imply that this is an even fight , Fury did not win against an elite fighter and Wlad has done it all , Lennox is a much better fighter then Fury and they should not be compared currently.
I could give Fury better chance if he had better comp and was impressive vs them , but to step up in your first fight against a force like Wlad on his home turf takes balls , and i give credit to him for taking the fight.
if this is a competitive fight i will be suprised.

I agree that Fury shouldn't be compared to Lennox, but he can be compared to 2003 Vitali Klitschko. I remeber people saying about Vitali back then what you guys are saying about Fury now, that he was an overrated robotic protected European fighter that only fought bums and quit on his stool against Chris Byrd. They said Lewis would knock him out in 2 or 3 rounds easily. I was telling people back then that if Lennox hit Vitali with his big right hand and Vitali was still there that he was going to be in a world of trouble because he wasn't going to be able to outbox him like he did all with all those smaller and or less skilled guys he was fighting. Vitali was bigger than Lewis, more athletic, had better stamina, and wasn't far away from him skill wise either. I see some of those characteristics in Fury, but again it comes down to what happens after he gets hit? Does he go down? Does he get on the bicycle like David Haye? Or does he make the same decision that Vitali made that night in 2003 that he decided he was going to stand up and fight? Hopefully its the latter and hopefully Tyson has better skin so we don't see another fluke win on cuts like 2003.

yea,,,I think his power and experience will seize the day but fury is a live dog and as a wlad fan im definitely nervous about this one

It's definitely a dangerous fight and I would like to see Wladimir go out on top.

Tell me your joking.. FLUKE???? Did you watch that fight??? YES Vitali was doing brilliant early but in case you forgot Lewis started laying the hammer down and was hurting him, he rocked him with an uppercut towards the end of the round before the fight got stopped and everyone in the party I was watching the fight at was drooling in anticipation of the next round because the Great Klit looked like he was on the way to being crumbled.

Lewis took ALL Vitali had to offer and than returned the favours. I would not call that a fluke. The man fought well and overcame adversity to put his opponent in a position to fail.
