    Actually i think Fury's team have been great all this week too. Refused to sit and accept Wlad's teams games such as the ring canvas, the gloves, Wlad wrapping his hands with nobody present etc...

    A lot of fighters and their teams turn up and do exactly as they're told, shut up, get paid and try to survive but Fury's lot stuck to their guns when any issue was raised.
    Tyson Fury is the only man in recent memory to turn up to a Wlad fight expecting and wanting to win. Tyson has great people around him

        Really interesting character is Peter Fury.

        Read an article in Boxing Monthly about him. IIRC he used to be a gangster and has served time in prison. He was arrested for supplying drugs and money laundering and was locked up for nearly 10 years.

        Turned his life around using boxing.

        Edit: BS also ran the article

        Peter Fury on his past ordeals, Visa issues and Twitter

        Peter Fury’s past caught up with him in April when he attempted to cross the U.S. border for Tyson Fury’s fight with Steve Cunningham. The trainer’s application for a Visa was knocked back by the authorities due to two previous prison terms — for possession and conspiracy to supply amphetamine and a later charge of drug-related money laundering — and it meant that he could not work his nephew’s corner at Madison Square Garden’s Theatre venue. Fury was left kicking his heels in Canada, where he watched Tyson get dropped in the second before rallying to stop Cunningham in round seven. Fury is working on his Visa problem, he believes that he has shown that you can turn your life around and this will sway the U.S. authorities. In recent years the 45-year-old has gone from street fighter, trafficker and Category A prisoner to trainer, mentor and voice of calm in Tyson’s corner.

            Fury was in a little bit of trouble in the 12th. He got caught in between breaths and it shook him a bit. Not bad and he did recover alright but he was gassed for a few seconds.
            He throws wild right hands and thats why Brooks wanted Wlad to punch with Fury but Wlad couldn't pull the trigger or he could have had a much better shot if he started in the 5 or 6th round.
            Bottom line is Wlad got old in his last fight and older tonight. His legs looked ok but they really didn't respond to be able to fire off punches.
            It was actually a boring fight, Fury is sloppy as hell but hey the big boys always draw interest.

                Fury and Fury both deserve props. It wasn't pretty but it was the best game plan ever executed against either Klitschko consistently from anyone but Sanders on Wlad in almost 20 years of pro boxing.
