    Wlad carried those limitations for a while, one had to have been a delusional Wlad fan not to acknowledge them, nothing was exposed. We already knew he was too much of a head hunter, can't fight on the inside and never possessed much of an arsenal offensively. We also knew that when he pressed the action he was still equally as limited and way too cautious while doing so.

    It was difficult to think Fury was the guy to do it when he's known for being out of shape at times and this was his biggest step up, hence the comments before the fight...which I did see.

      Ok - If you could tell that before then fine. Most of the posters on this site didn't give Fury a shot and now they're all experts saying they knew Wlad's limitations etc etc.

      So I would strongly say he was exposed for his limitations. Even though a handful might have seen it already.

        Not when those limitations had been exposed already. It's not exactly a revelation of any kind that Wlad can't handle movement.

                Both of you claimed Wlad was going to flatten Fury.

                Stop making excuses. Pathetic.

If Wlad had fought some bum like Leapai instead of Fury, he would have gotten a KO and those same people would have said he's still at his best.

                    I don't like this whole 'Wladimir was shot' drivel. Fury performed well - but it was by no means a masterclass.

                      Wlad can't box and just abuses his size on smaller guys, he does more holding then actual boxing. Wilder would have done the same thing to him if not worse if they fought.
