Violence is never the answer.

According to that article Fury put on 41 lbs since the 1st fight and with 5 weeks to go is trying to lose it. If that's the case he will definitely come in heavier and may not be as game as he was for the 1st fight. I also expect Wladimir to be better prepared this time...he could very well have his vindication.

It's obvious that Wlad's reflexes were not the same. His style isn't really limited it's just that he could not pull the trigger on his shots anymore. Fury was there to be hit a lot of times but Wlad could not capitalize like he used to.

Every fighter eventually loses it and to have it until almost 40 is pretty good for a HW champ.

Remember, Liston, Marciano, Ali, Louis, Holmes, Tyson and Lewis were long, long done by that age.

Wlad's reflexes are the same, he's just not very good, never has been. Fury's body was there all night and day for Wlad, didn't take advantage of it because he can't fight on the inside, his ability there is amateurish. Wlad is completely dependent on his size and holding, he uses both of them to maintain control of distance. Pre-holding he was getting beat by guys like Sanders and Brewster, post holding he's the fighter you see today, when that holding advantage was taken away with Fury's reach/mobility we see his true quality no different than before.

I stopped reading there because to even say that about Wlad, who if nothing else was the heavyweight champ for a record of fights and an Olympic gold medalist, is plain and simple ignorance.
