12th round Klitschk-Fury?

[MisterPullman]

Tyson Fury proved he truly is light on his feet and can box! No doubt about it, but Klitschko was so hesitant and clinching every chance he had during this fight.

But, the one time he actually engaged (12th round) he won. If Klitschko engages all 12 in the rematch do you think Fury can manage to defeat him again? Fury is definitely a stylistic nightmare for Wladimir, he really does live up to his name "2 FAST FURY", but it seemed he was losing a bit of control the 12 round when Wlad finally realized he's gonna lose.

I mean, I can see Fury winning the rematch against Wlad if Wlad comes in like he did the first time. He needs to just let his hands go, it's his only chance.

At this point, I think it's time for Wlad to hangup the gloves. For the good of boxing, just do it.

Wlad can't engage for 12 rounds, he doesn't have the engine. They could fight 50 times and Tyson would win every time, he's all wrong for Wlad.

That's true, but the rematch might be a lot closer if he engages and doesn't get KO'd by Fury!

He won't be able to, it's not about being stopped he doesn't have the stamina unless he fights at the pace he wants.

In the Brewster and Purrity fight it was his stamina that failed him as much as anything (that and getting hit in the face). Steward taught him to manage it really well against same size/smaller men.

No it wouldn't. If Wlad came out guns blazing, Fury would simply utilise his superior footwork and movement and let Wlad punch himself out. He'd be finished by the 6th and Fury would knock him out.

See, I get that.

But Wlad only engaged one round.. and it looked like Fury was losing a bit of control in the 12th. If Wlad could simply engaged 40% more than he did, anything could of happened.

[deathofaclown]

Wlad has been stuck fighting exactly the same way now for a decade that he knows nothing else.

The style he believed in so much and got him so many wins actually come back to bite him last night as he couldn't adapt, he's never needed to. Respect to him for keep winning for so long but i think going through every fight exactly the same methodical way was probably his downfall last night. Fury is just a nightmare for him and Wlad at this age isn't going to suddenly learn to adapt to it.

He will come out in a rematch and fight exactly how he did last night, that's all he knows.

[kiDynamite92]

If he did engage more, it would give Tyson Fury more opening and would likely end in a KO. Wlad was close to going in that 11th round let me remind you.

[MisterPullman]

Now that Wlad has nothing to lose, the rematch will be interesting.

[Porter's Dad]

The thing is, for Wlad to win the re-match, he is going to have to let his damn hands go - when he did so in the 12th, he had success but he got clocked too.

So essentially, to win the re-match, he is going to have to go out of character and take risks and understand he is going to have to take heavy artillery back - and I don't think he can hack that kind of fight. It was not one that suited him in his prime years and it doesn't now. He is not going to win this fight doing what he has been doing for years. Fury is not scared or intimated by him at all and cannot be bullied by him.
