    Respect to Tyson Fury

    He defied all odds and delivered a great performance. Really, I take my hat off to him and his team. That was fantastic.

    The reign of Vladimir Klitschko is over. Congratulations to the new Heavyweight Champion of the world!

      Remove clinching from Wlad's game and this is what we get.

          I'm happy for Tyson because I like him and have followed him for a long time. That said, I think he looked awful. Really embarrassed that he won it on that performance and that Wlad was not throwing at all.
          As someone who likes both guys I wish the winner would have looked impressive. Fury is one of these guys, like Robert Guerrero, whose personality I really like but they aren't great by any means. I find myself being terribly critical about their boxing.

              I thought Fury's performance was ingenious. He left Vlad clueless as to what to do, simply. Fury's size and reach advantage played a big role too. He almost toyed with Vlad, it was kind of shocking to witness.

                Fury is simply a more skilled fighter than Wlad.

                  I thought Fury boxed extremely well but it wasn't a dominate statement performance punctuated by knockout.

                  I think if Fury had upped the tempo a couple notches he could have easily stopped Wlad, but he was content with boxing.

                    Yes, Fury could have put him down, actually. Having said that, Fury also looked exhausted in the 12th and I thought Vlad could have KO'd him had it gone much longer. Last round was nerve wrecking.
