Comments Thread For: Froch: I Hope Fury Comes in There to Rough Klitschko Up

I expect Fury to do the opposite really. He's going to box.

Do you believe he can implement that style successfully against a far superior athlete, boxer and puncher ?

Fury has great size but is a mental midget

Fluff Fury has the size to push Wlad back but is the soft Brit strong enough mentally to give Wlad a real run for the title? Fury fights small crouched over bent forward leaning in inviting Wlad's hard jabs. Not sure if Fury is smart enough to beat Wlad. Fluff Fury is more of a big large lopsided clumsy Oaf.

Probably not but I don't see him going hell for leather

This fight is in germany. If it was outside of germany then i would give Tyson a better chance at winning, Klit would d**** his body all over Fury, clinch, held on for dear life then by the 11th round when Fury is marinated/done he would be taken out.

I don't get the feeling he will try to wrestle with the taller bigger man although he likely could do that and out muscle Fury.

Everyone's talking about how Furys size is an advantage. It is, to an extent. I think Furys best chance is going for it, not being overly cautious. Boxing & mixing his aggression with movement.
If he sticks to just aggression or movement hell get clocked. He might get lucky & catch him early.
Haye flopped against wlad but you remember Haye saying afterwards how big klitschko is & how well he used his size & reach & cutting off the ring.
Haye managed to avoid getting dropped by his movement & being able to close the distance with his agility to avoid being on the end of the straight right & when that didn't work he'd drop to his knees.
Wlads is technically the better fighter when you compare the jab, cross & hook.
Fury needs to roughhouse & move & keep mixing it up, not allowing wlad to set the tempo.
I hope Fury pulls it off, he's fun & it would good to see a changing of the guard with a Brit take the win

Froch is only hyping Joshua because they're all party of Eddie's clique.

Unfortunately for Femi Joshua, he has a little girly biscuit chin, not an iron one like Froch.

Wouldn't be surprised if Fury gets DQ'ed.

hahaha you might be on to something

Fury will probably try and box Klitschko early, then if that doesn't work out he'll start trying to maul him and rough house him up close.

I kind of think the same, I expect a strict strategy to begin with but upon him losing successive rounds I expect him to hold true to his word and try to do anything he can to seize an advantage, whether that be low blows, mauling, elbows, pretty much anything goes even if it means a disqualification. I genuinely do expect Fury to go out on his shield after he realises he isn't in the fight any longer, which really could be early doors if as i expect he is tasting the canvass on a regular basis haha.

I look at this and don't see one guy with a significant height and reach advantage, generally just two guys the same size, one with better technical ability, greater mobility, fitness, conditioning and ring iq, now unfortunately I am not referring to Furry. It really comes down to the effectiveness, sharpness and power of the jab for me personally, something Fury IMO can not possibly negate unless he is stood on top of the ring posts, which last I checked was not allowed in the rules.

The build up to this fight in the master thread especially has been nothing short of titanic and seismic, I'm really pumped for this one. I just hope no further delays with all this bs recently in Paris, Brussels and Hannover.

What reason has Wlad to need to clinch let alone excessively. I do not understand why detractors expect Wlad to need to, he is not face a guy who in anyway can utilise the bull rushing technique utilised by Jennings and Povetkin, Furry can not possibly come in low and hard under the guard, not only is he too dumb and clumsy he is simply too big and cumbersome.

This would be the biggest shock of the night for me if he utilised any such tactics not previously used in his other game plans versus Johnson, Hammer and Chisora. As Steward once said you don't change everything you've ever known suddenly in the biggest fight of your career and try something ridiculous you've had no experience doing previously or have done so comfortably.

As Wlad says, once Furry or any of his other opponents for that matter tastes the power his opponents balls shrink to that of the most miniscule on the scale and they revert to type, for Fury this is orthodox boxing from range holding his jaw aloft wanting big Wladdy to plant a humongous fight ending steel hammer onto it. He'll actually want to be knocked out as so he can get out of the ring.
