Comments Thread For: Klitschko Admits He Hesitated Too Much, Fury's Style Hurt Him

[Ray*]

Wlad was just in there with someone who he was physically bigger, He was usually bigger than all his opponents but not against Fury. He was scared to take any risk until when it was too late, and he couldn't clinch,grab, hold or d**** his body like he would normally do against his previous smaller opponent. If he opens up in the rematch he leaves himself open to getting KO and i doubt he would ever fight that way again.

Reading this Wlad makes Fury sound like Mayweather aka elite. Wlad was on the p4p list & is basically saying he couldn't lay a glove on Fury because the gypsy king was that good

Klitschko forgot to say that he also was afraid...

Many boxing experts had Wladimir as the #1 p4p fighter. That title now belongs to Fury.

Well, if Wlad fights agressive and has to throw 4-5 punches to land one he better make sure to stop Fury early or he will gas pretty soon and get stopped because he has nothing left. History has shown that and now that he is almost 40 years wont help either...FURY BY KNOCKOUT! Cant wait!!
But i have to give Wlad some credit for his honesty, no bull****-excuses from him. Thats cool.

look for the punk clutchko to be KO'ed in the rematch

I really respect Klitschko for being honest and not making excuses for his loss. It shows a great deal of character and integrity on his part.

... being honest would have meant to admit that he actually was afraid to throw...

Wlad is Dr so is clever and has somewhat of a boing IQ so he should do better.....,but win I'm not sure

[DonJunker]

Klitschkos performance was horrible, but he is really honest and self conscious in this interview compared to most fighters who lose...I admire that.

And he is right..he has to go forward throwing combinations. The rematch will be exciting!

I think though that Fury, with his added confidence from dethroning the champ, will win the rematch too, but it will hopefully be more of a slugfest and less tactical.
