Who is rooting for Gipsy King Fury ?

[baya]

you know what would be hilarious is a highlight video of fury / klit 1

[gauze]

i usually root for klitschko, and i did the first time around, but i'm just hoping for an entertaining fight on this one. i don't really have any preference over which guy wins.

i do think it will be a better fight. klitschko knows he isn't getting any favors in the UK and what does he really have to lose? he's at the tail-end of his career and it's not like he's undefeated or never been stopped. i anticipate klitschko letting his hands go more in this fight.

[just the facts]

Fury has good hand and foot speed (underrated). Also good coordination. Also fights in both stances very well. Also good on the inside. Also has a good jab. Also good on the outside. Also ties up better than any other heavyweight on the inside. Also has decent upper-body movement. Also has a 72% KO ratio. Also beat Wlad in Germany, on Wlad's terms, with Wlad's ring, Wlad's gloves, and Wlad's Judges. Plus a referee that somehow failed to see this when he was looking right at it:

and instead took a point off Fury when Wlad was purposely turning around ALL NIGHT LONG.

Do you honestly believe this crap or do you post for shock value?

Yeah, I'm definitely behind Fury again. I love the energy he brings to the division, and the level of madcap craziness. It's ages since we've had this much genuine uncertainty at the championship levels, and it's great to feel that nervous buzz in the stomach before a high level fight not knowing who's going to come out of it the victor. Still...

Fury4daWIN baby!

How about the heavyweight champ of the world laughing at all the boxing (wannabe) 'experts' who said he couldn't do it! singing the roof off of germany with belts hanging off the arms and klitschko 'the therapist' looking like he needs to go and see a therapist.

that singing was the icing on the cake. on his home turf, 'twas beautiful.

Thank you. I'm tired of Fury fans acting like he put on a Sweet Pea type defensive performance against Wlad. People don't want to see that. We want to see KO's in the heavyweight division. We want to see more than 6 punches landed a round, especially if only one punch was clean. And people wonder why AJ is so popular. It's not because he's a hype job. It's because he looks like the heavyweights we were used to seeing before Wlad's reign. And it's showing in ticket sales. The Fury-Wlad fight is selling horribly with only two weeks to go Not trying to **** on Fury but he needs more realistic fans like yourself.

It doesn't even require a KO, just a good boxing performance with actual punches...you know those things people used to throw before Mayweather/Wlad style fighters came to the fore lol

But I agree, AJ is selling tickets because he gets the KOs...however the reality is, he gets KOs over mediocre (at best) opposition. We'll see what's up when he steps up.

In terms of Fury, I know he can be exciting and fluid with his punches. I've seen it but over almost 2 years, he has decided to prod and tip toe his way to wins. That won't win over fans.

Okay. What are you debating. Pick one of the attributes I listed, and I'll get to work on the gifs to prove you wrong. Only one I can concede was a silly thing to do was uppercutting himself. Tyson has polished his craft since then. Made a few mistakes (got dropped) but the talent is clear to see, so pick one, cause i'm not doing them all, and prepare to get educated.

"Just the facts" likes to write one line posts degenerating the lineal champion, yet disappears when you challenge him about the rubbish he posts. Take no notice of the loser.

Back on topic, of course i'll be rooting for Fury. The most charismatic man in boxing by a country mile. Hopefully he'll send that cheat Wladimir into retirement.

I was reading there are rumors the fight is off. There were a couple people on Twitter saying they saw Fury hanging out getting drunk since he Wales-England game and hasn't been training. One guy was a fighter who said that. Are you hearing those rumors?
