Even so, Wlad is still #1 contender in the world. It wouldn't be a massive upset at all. If Wlad wins, they'll say he had an off night vs Fury the first time. We know that.
Especially considering people were talking about Fury as if it would be a massive upset, alike Douglas or Hasim Rahman, before the fight.Comment

The interesting thing for me is will Wlad take the fight to Tyson.As he didn't get going until the 11th round first time around and with Wlad being a jab ,right hand hold type what can he change with a guy who he holds no physical advantages over.Comment

Do people never learn, Vlad has some balls, and is coming as a wrecking ball now he knows Fury has him beat if he stands off. Expect Vlad to revert back to the days of rushing in as a leveler. Its gonna be bingo time, and could go either way. This is now a 50/50 do or die fight, and i can easily see vlad winning with Fury's chin, if he can connect.
usually if the first fight is amazing the second is a bore, but this time i think its the other way.Comment

We can only hope so. It can almost only get better, anyway. But I think the first one wasn't even that bad, or people make it worse than it was to some extent. It was a tactical affair. What's interesting this time around is the fact that Vladimir indeed has to dig deep and actually come in with a different game plan. In my book, this will still be the most anticipated HW fight of the year.Comment

Dr Steelehammer was not mentally in the fight. His wife was experiencing post partum depression. A new baby changes your life completely.
The lost made him stronger and aware that he's vulnerable to all distractions. He needs to block it out during camp and for 12 rounds.Comment

Good talk from Wladimir and respect for not digging his heels in over this fight being in the U.K. I agree with Peter Fury, there's no way Klitschko is coming to lose on points, he'll be looking for the big punch just like all his previous opponents did. Like they could never outbox Klitschko, Klitschko will never outbox Fury. I'm expecting him to take a lot more risks especially if he loses rounds early. I'll be shocked if this goes 12.
Big factor will be the time spent out of the ring. Wladimir is probably ready to go now while Fury looks like he's been hitting Burger King every day. A gym rat version of Fury would be near unbeatable Imo, It's always a concern to me how much he puts in training and his motivation.Comment

I dont think klitscho deserves special praise for fighting in manchester. He is now the challenger and should by rights fight in the champions home country. I'm just hoping a decent fight happens this time out.Comment

I think Fury has thought about how this fight is going to go.. in a recent interview he said he wants to heavy for this fight because it will be a slugfest and he will only train 3-4 weeks before. So Fury would like to impose his size of Wlad this time around and expects to have a better chin..
However, when he feels few solid punches he might start his dancing and running..Comment
