Comments Thread For: Photos: Klitschko in Beast Mode, Vows To Batter Fury

[LacedUp]

Wladimir undergoes testing for every fight in Germany, so I'm not sure what you're getting at.

The same can't be said for fighters in the US...

Post fight testing + they don't test for the same things.

So of course something can be done in Germany, don't fool yourself,.

I really don't think fitness / conditioning will be an issue for Klitsckho.

He is intelligent enough to understand the threat posed form Fury and will have a 100% focus and professional camp.

The unknowns are more about Fury's mind set and conditioning.

I think Fury will bring some surprises to the fight, but just not sure if it will be enough to get a decision.

Wlad is a great champ, an excellent ambassador for our sport. Hope he knocks loudmouth Fury out.

Beast mode? Wlad is looking old in these photos

Old? He is showing his age in the face, not merely because he IS 40, but because he is also about 0% body fat and dehydrated... You idiot!

And that has any bearing on his physiological age? NOT! Look at the body!

Face Skin integrity is one of the WORST iondicators of an ageing athlete!

Fact!

Look this is my SUPPORT for Fury Supporters..

Klitschko COULD "old school up" and waste Fury in a round or 2. Klitschko has such strong chin to withstand anything Fury throws at him and Fury has such weak a chin to not withstznd anything Wlad throws at him. In addition Wlad has the skillls to land at will on Fury whilst Fury doesn't haver the skills to land on Wlad. Wlad has the skills to avoid anything that Fury throws at him and Fury doesn't have the skills to avoid anything Wlad throws at him.

But that's NOT what I think will happen.

I think Wlad will box way too methodically guaranteeing a win over winning in style, to execute Fury in dramatic fashion.

That's my concessions to the modern day Ali (or Fury) fans But I will also go on to say that Wlad will KO Fury inside the distance DESPITE an over cautious perfomance!

I only HOPE Wlad surprises us all!

The only question worth betting on is a COOL Wlad victory or a BORING Wlad victory!

Wlad's whole style is there to protect his chin. Emmanuel Steward worked very hard with him to develop a style to protect his chin because it's not not very strong. I think you're getting him mixed up with Vitali. Wlad was the one who used to be crawling around the ring after getting dropped and beaten.

Full credit to him though. He's developed and perfected a style that doesn't allow him to get hit cleanly. That's why he's so cautious. He has great power but seldom uses it, only when the time is right because he won't risk that biscuit chin being tagged.

Not blowing my own trumpet but this time round I give A Wlad win over Fury at 95%, and a Wlad KO at 75%.

It's a good bet. MAkie some money!

His style is to minimise getting hit whilst maximising hitting his opponent.

I would say this style represents PERFECT desirability in a style developed for WINNING!

I am not claiming Wlad has an IRON chin! I am claiming Wlad has a stringer chin than any pre-80's boxer (in absoilute terms) and has a GOOD chin in terms of relevant examples. For example I think Wlad's cvhin is better than average for that of the modern HW division.

This is proven by statistics, fact being that he could stand there with hands by sides and withstand featherfist Fury's shots for an entire fight pretty much.

That's the point.. The power to chin ratio!

Hahahaha

Can't wait to see him crawling around the ring trying to gather up the broken pieces of that biscuit he calls a chin.

He looks old... and doesn't have that body he used to have...
