Comments Thread For: Klitschko: I Just Couldn’t Land Against Tyson Fury

[SeekDaGreat]

Wladimir Klitschko barely landed a thing on Tyson Fury. That’s not a surprise given how rarely he threw — limited activity he said was due to what Fury was doing.

“I wish there would be more clean shots that I could land. I couldn’t find the right distance to land those shots,” Klitschko said at the post-fight press conference. “Tyson was quick with his hands and his body movement and his head movement. I couldn’t land the right punches.”

Yeah, well you didn't throw enough punches to land the right punches. I understand you couldn't figure him out but needless to say you didn't give yourself the best chance to "land the right punches." You Sat back and let the fight get out of reach, basically.

From all the posts on here I thought it was a good fight, got around to watching it last night and can honestly say that was the worst HW fight I have ever seen. Aside from Tyson buckling him the 11th it was a horrible fight for both men. Fury is the new champion but damn if these two dudes looked like two untrained big men trying to learn to fight in a parking lot. Klitschko was bothered by the movement but also showed no form with all that pawning with the jab. How about you hit that gut bruh..shh was there the whole fight, at least Tyson was hitting to the body in the clinches.

It reminded me a lot of Vitali v Lewis in a way. People talk about it like it was a great fight or some sort of classic. It really wasn't, it was a very messy affair just like last night was. 2 big guys who's fight will look messy and scrappy when you put their styles together. Vitali v Lewis might have been a little better but it was hardly the sweet science, it was scrappy.

The only reason people talk about it is because Lewis was clearly considered the best Heavyweight in the world and Vitali give him all he could handle and last night was very similar. It's more the surprise factor that makes it what it is, not the action itself.

With that said, i don't think theres many ways at all to be beat Wlad but Fury found a way to do it and executed it. It wasn't pretty but it was very effective so i can only take my hat off to him for that. I'm sure he'll be in some exciting fights in the future but last night he had a job to do and did it well.

You should have been in his corner Beercules! with Perogie, next to big brother, "sour cream on those? and vlad...throw some punches now and then."

*takes a swig of Heiniken* Wlad, throw some punches this round too.

[megas30]

Yeah...you also tried to head butt him.

Klitschko Lost but I am now a fan - Pac take notes

Klitschko had an off night
He couldn't figure out Fury
He Lost
He had the press he lost and didn't make excuses
That makes me a fan
Pac lost - he couldn't land against Mayweather
Then him and his imbecile coach blamed a shoulder injury - it wasn't your shoulder - you just couldn't figure him out
Good on ya Klitschko for manning up - i didnt know much about u before except u won all the time and were from europe but based on how you handled that fight I'm interested - and I'm rooting for you in the rematch - go prepare differently and put a whooping on this dude - get your title back and retire !
thanks for acting like a true champion - and a role model.

Something smells here it was a thrown fight by Wlad

Vitali and Wlad set us all up in a thrown fight.
Long odds against Fluff Fury to lose to Wlad. Wlad is near 40 and thinking retiring soon with a high ring wife and daughter to provide for. The Ukraine is a mess and financially shaky. Word is it through Interpol is that Wlad's representatives spread around over $10 million in various casinos even in Hong Kong and Macau that returned as high as $80 million for the Fury win. Think that isn't possible? Wlad threw the Fight and collected BIG. It's a business and Wlad fighting in Germany had few opportunities to collect big. Watch how this plays out. It was a thrown fight for millions. It was a c0mmie play by Wlad to collect large nothing wrong with that it's a business. FACT.

Perhaps he could have landed more on Fury if wlad held Fury less?
Klit landed more head locks than punches!

Excellent! I was thinking the same way! That is how to lose!
PAC learn, no disgrace in losing. No amount of slow motion video can give PAC the win.
Fury fought an interesting fight, lots of movement.

Wlad is cautious hitting the damn heavy bag. He really hates the way that thing sways back and forth. If he doesn't time it just right, that bag might sway right back and hit him.

This theory might be plausible except for the fact that Wlad really fought like he always does. He cannot do jack **** if the ref or his opponent don't let him hold on for dear life and smother the other guy.
