Comments Thread For: Klitschko-Fury: New Fight Date Eyed For November 28

[Gentblue]

My prediction is this fight will never happen. This is just david haye all over again. If only the other heavyweight title was held by a fighter with balls, i would urge fury to tell clitko to go eff himself. But its not. Its held by beyonce, i need another 8 tune ups fighting bums, wilder.

If I recall Wilder called out Fury and Fury chose Klitz, that's not his fault.

That is good news. I hope it happens for all those twats that were talking so much **** of Wlad avoiding the dude.

[LomaUsykKlichko]

Boom!!!! Just like I said this fight is happening. I just don't see where the Brits got the idea that Wlad would pullout saying **** like he's scared. Wlads been in the boxing for 20 years and he's seen everything

The only time Wlad will ever need to duck Tyson is when he has to decide which way to duck as Fury is falling knocked out cold to the floor when they fight.

one month? Now I know he didn't feel ready and wanted to train more after that press conference and also wanted to gain a psychological advantage on Fury. Calf injury and any injury takes time to heal and you start from the beginning as far as training. He wouldn't be ready for a fight after a month if he was injured. Also, what fighter says he is injured moments after a press conference? one month is enough for Wlad to get ready since he wasn't serious about this.

It might not happen until Feb as Sky can't offer a PPV date until then.

Anyone know if this is legit at all? Or won't it be a PPV now? Or is Feb. a possibility for real?

I still feel this is a a strategic move by Wlad. Dude gets injured on Thursday & calls the fight on Thursday & pushes it back just 5wks. Seems like thats a quick diagnosis for an injury that isn't THAT serious based on it only pushing the fight back a month, but bad enough not to give it a couple days to see how things are in a day or two before calling the fight.

Personally I think Fury was showing him up too much. Gotta calm his ass down. Problem for Wlad is this mfer gonna show up with a nurse uniform with a wheelchair & a rectal thermometer for Wlad at the next presser.

At first I thought the people claiming the injury was fake were just typical cynical people, but now I see this as a real possibility.

If there is a training issue, let's keep in mind that Klitschko's training situation has indeed changed, with Banks as his head trainer. It isn't as though he has the level of credentials as Emmanual Stewart, by a long shot. Stewart always seemed to run a very disciplined operation. So training not being at 100% is a seriously legitimate possibility. It does seem cynical of Klitschko to pull out with so much already in place (venue, undercard, PPV date, tickets, etc.), but from his personal standpoint, it's mostly just a matter of the millions he stands to make continuing as champion, so he may indeed pull out all the stops if he doesn't feel all is in place. Fury's air of confidence could indeed be a factor, as well as Wlad's sense of lack of control over the buildup.

Just speculation, but it is possible.

That's what I think is going on. Wlad likes to be in control and running the show, from the pressers right through to the fight itself, and Fury isn't allowing him to do that.

I think this postponement is an attempt by Wlad to unsettle Fury and take control of the situation.

The fight is no longer taking place on the contracted date, as Fury expected, but on another date, to be decided by Wlad.

It was a good run Wlad

people think wlad wanted to train more because some mentally unstable goof showed up in the ****tiest batman costume ever.
