Fury "fans" crawling out of the woodwork

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Because that's what great fighters do. They put an exclamation point on a victory. You younger generation of fans have no standards and just feel privileged watching a fight like these guys are gods.

Because it's called closing the show. He took the mayweather route to victory. Great.

Fury was a massive underdog against a long reigning Heavyweight Champion and he boxed his **** off and played with him like a little child.

He didn't need to do anything more.

I've never really been a fan of Wlad because of the way he fights. His boxing is below average and he holds too damn much. I wish Wilder got to expose him first, I think he would have finished him off. Wilder beats Fury too IMO.

I think he just wanted to secure the win and minimise any chances for error. Remember, this was his first major fight on a world stage and I'm sure he couldn't believe his luck when his tactics began to pay off as well as they did. My gut feeling is that he just didn't want to jeopardise it all by overcommitting and finding himself on the canvas from Wlad's return fire. A bit boring perhaps, but sometimes you've just gotta do what you gotta do.

Now that he knows how easily he can beat Wlad I'm sure he'd be much more willing to take risks in a rematch and secure the stoppage. This fight will have raised his confidence to sky high levels.

I think Fury wanted to show the world that he does actually have skills and is capable of comfortably outboxing Wladimir Klitschko, a feat that some of the Klittards on here claimed was impossible. "Wlad has never been outboxed doe, only KO'd" lol

Fury talked big in the build up and said he wound shock the world like Ali did Liston. But once he got in the ring he decided to take the easiest way to victory.

It's just he had a sitting duck there for him to pluck and he couldn't come through in that way.

Look y'all im glad fury won because I want the old guard to move on. It's just i want to new guard to take over in a big way.

When a fighters lands 80 punches in a 12 round championship fight and win you can't be to happy about the performance.

Fury was an underdog but don't act like he was a massive underdog. Fury was a very live dog going in.

I'm happy when someone can fullfil his dream but I just feel he could have done so much more. His career coukd have taken such a bigger leap had he pushed more instead of settling for what he did.

Fury didn't win how we wanted him to

[DuttyAlacrity]

Fury clearly won the fight but this fight in general was boring (this coming from a Mayweather fan). Fury more danced his way to a victory With Klitschko conceding rounds by not throwing. Some will argue that fury's movement was the reason for Klitschko's inept offensive showing and I'll take that but waldimir has never been an offensive wrecking ball in any sense ... Jab jab jab... Mini hook...Jab... Jab... Thunderous right. That's it. The jab wasn't there (because fury took it away) and Klitschko looked lost... Ugly fight. Let's see how fury deals with a big puncher who's active then I'll be convinced.

Spoken like a true fanboy. Landing seven punches a round is not boxing anyone's "****" off. He completely neutralized wlad but there is more to a great performance than just that. Unfortunately your generation of fans are satisfied by very little.

Other than the insult jabs (pun intended) I completely agree.

My generation of fans?

Aren't you part of a group of fans who are satisfied with KOing bums?

Stop crying.
