    He maybe old and shot, but power goes away last. And I don't think even ardent Klichko haters would deny that he has that power.

      Klitschko is still the hardest puncher in boxing.

          He used to have unbelievable punching power. But in his last fight it didn't look that way. Actually in his last two fights.

          Punches weren't crisp and sharp. Just looked average in all honesty.

            But his previous fight prior to that was against Pulev. KO looked quite convincing. Pulev never been down before that. And I suspect that Fury does not have Chuvalo chin )))

              In the percentage game a hostile Mancunian/Irish crowd in a smaller atmospheric arena is just what Klitschko needs.

              There's still remnants of that coupling of boxing and high culture in Germany that you could argue hit its zenith towards the end of the Weimar Republic. The crowds are more considered and respectful. They're there to admire a physical specimen with a PHD.

              The string instruments and grand pianos set aflame need to go along with the gushing polite applause. It's time for the man to get his hands dirty and then let them go.

                true . But Pulev was giving him free shots straight to the chin. I mean, the idiot fell down 3 times from the exact same punch When have you seen that happen at the highest level?

                Of course if you let Wlad shoot a left hook to your chin he's going to hurt you.

                But that was in 2013 or 2014? These times, Wlad is 40 and times slows you down.

                  What good is power if Fury can run rings round him

                    Finally something official, thus guy as been mute lately.

                    Whilst I can't excite myself about this fight just yet, I am stoked we have a confirmation from Team Klitschko finally. The Klitschko roadshow is back in full swing, I would like to see a decent undercard for this but as with other K2 events I will not hold my breath.

                    Whom will Hughie likely fight on the undercard ?

                      It would hardly be an upset if he won.
                      Most people seem to think it'll be another walk in the park for Fury.
