Comments Thread For: Fury Outpoints Klitschko To Lift Heavyweight Crown

[BKM-]

After 12 rounds, with his size and movement. It's pretty impressive he could still sing like that.

Why does it seem every big win a British fighter has is over a shot, old fighter?

Ricky Hatton - 36 yr. old Kostya Tszyu
Joe Calzaghe - 39 yr. old Roy Jones, 43 yr. old Bernard Hopkins

Now Tyson Fury looks like a spaz outpointing a 40 yr.old Wladimir Klitschko...... and these Brit bellends are jumping up and down like it was Buster Douglas vs. Mike Tyson.

Trololol good bait

Klitschko simply didn't know how to deal with a taller fighter with an awkward style, and the supposedly skilled champion showed absolutely no ability to make any meaningful adjustments in the ring. Sad.

This is what happens when you fight sub-par opposition for too long and employ questionable strategies to win. If Klitschko hadn't spent the past decade clinching and leaning on typically smaller opponents, he might have met Fury's challenge with the kind of response you'd expect from a champion. Then again, if he hadn't taken the easy road for so long, Klitschko might not have been champion for nearly 10 years.

In any case, hats off to Fury for a spirited effort. Once Klitschko is gone for good, hopefully we'll see more excitement at the top of the heavyweight division. Fighters like Fury and Wilder might not look as dominant or skilled as Klitschko at his peak, but that's part of the fun. I think they're a hell of a lot more willing to push themselves and take on the type of challenges Wlad evaded, so even if they don't remain unbeaten for years on end, the sport of boxing and the heavyweight division will win.

I'm happy for Fury. He's hilarious.

Brook sonning a prime Porter on US soil?

I think those stars & stripes shades are affecting your vision Tua

A truly great day for boxing. Hopefully now the heavyweights will actually come to the ring to fight and not to clinch and not fear to let their hands go.

I've just witnessed the ugliest and the most uncoordinated heavyweight world title fight I have ever seen in my life.....klitchko was beaten by size and awkwardness and he was like a programmed computer doing the same thing over and over again.....wilder beats fury......then joshua beats wilder.....shocking seeing a fighter so unskilled winning the heavyweaight title.....losing hope in boxing more every day lol

Self belief, If you can't see strategy and skills in his win over Wlad then you are blind!
