Comments Thread For: Fury: There is Nothing Klitschko Does That Worries Me!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Undefeated British heavyweight Tyson Fury is ready to beat the odds and has promised to put IBO/WBO/WBA/IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko of Ukraine to sleep in the sixth round.

Fury has done most of the talking leading up to his heavyweight battle with Klitschko in Dusseldorf, Germany on Saturday in a fight to be telecast in the Philippines by Fox Sports.

i might be falling for the build up but the more i think about this fight the more i thinik fury has a real shot to win this thing. if he can pull it off it will be great for boxing in general. There is a big difference between fury when he goes all out in training and when hes fighting an average fighter and he just comes in hardly any training.

As long as he took this camp serious and is in good shape i dont know i just think hes gonna win just got a strange feeling

Nice gif,but Fury ain't Pulev lol

Yeah but the difference is, Fury isn't a stiff bum like Pulev. Pulev literally stood straight in front of Wlad, no leg or head movement whatsoever, and waited for Wlad to knock him out.

I'm really interested to see how Tyson approaches this fight once the time for talking is over and I hope we see a good, competitive fight. If he brings his usual willingness to engage then there should be some exciting moments, especially early on.

Where I see him coming unstuck is an inability to get past Wlad's jab. Size and reach advantage are one thing, but he'll need to neutralise those piston-like lefts and also avoid that thumping right. It's mechanical and on paper a busy fighter should have success disrupting the rhythm, but I just feel like it's a matter of 'when' and not 'if' that Wlad lands.

Fury has been buzzed (seriously buzzed) by fighters with far less pop and in this case he won't be afforded time to recover.

I'm predicting Klitschko KO9 but I hope it's fun whilst it lasts.

It'll be a pretty dull fight i imagine, at least the first part. Fury won't have any problems getting past the jab. The problem for Fury is when Wladimir realises that he's getting completely outboxed, he'll eventually have to open up and start launching missiles. If Fury can avoid anything big, the fight is his. I don't think Fury has ever been properly hurt, he wasn't against Cunningham. He got knocked down, got back up, pulled his shorts up and went to work. He looked a bit buzzed against Chisora the first time when he landed that big overhand right.

It'll be interesting, I'm not sure I have as much faith in Fury's punch resistence or in Wlad resorting to wild gun-slinging...but it's what makes this interesting - neither man has a clear advantage in any one department. I just feel Wlad edges it in most (power and composure especially).

What I did find interesting is during their recent 'face-off' Fury talked about Wlad leaning back when his opponents begin to punch in volumes and then re-positioning and re-establishing the jab. He didn't say how he'll overcome it but I'm interested to see how he plans to do what few have managed thus far.
