I don't want to worry people but before the fight I saw an interview with Klitchko's manager in a British newspaper where he said it would be better from a financial point of view if Wlad lost, because it would help regain public interest in him. Apparently interest has been falling since all of his fights became a procession. If Wlad comes back and wins now - its a big story and good for his reputation too.
Anyway personally I don't think Wlad threw the fight. I think a lot of of why Wlad lost was because Tyson moves so fast. Wlad is a defensive fighter so he doesn't like to commit himself and risk being hit. Wlad moved around a hell of a lot over the 12 rounds for someone who is over the hill. Fury looked more out of breath than he did. So I don't think age caught up with Wlad at all.
