    Basically. Fury did some HW Mayweather **** on Klitschko. Potshots galore. Movement. Controlling where the fight did & didn't take place. Klitschko ain't seen **** like that in the ring in his life. Had no clue what to do.

      90% of Wlad's resume is filled with stationary targets, completely out of shape, mobile fighters have always given him trouble because he struggles to land that slow right hand. Wlad has no inside fighting ability either, Fury's body was wide open all night, even Wilder is vastly superior inside fighter, Wlad just isn't very good. Fury also neutralized his signature illegal holding which Wlad is completely dependent on to control range against smaller fighters as well as tire them out.

      Wlad is an amateurish fighter, if he was in a lower weight class he'd be a Postol without his inside fighting, he's that bad.

        He didn't follow "no sex before a fight". Freedom is very aggressive

          "Wlad didn't get old overnight but..."

          I said it wasn't overnight. But, and, but, BUT, did Wlad look anything like the guy people thought would get decisively outpointed by Fury? Jennings was regarded fairly well, and he should've been. Fury didn't just win on Wlad's age. He was more talented than generally fans wanted to believe. He was going to get starched early and easily. He was a bum. He was all talk. Now what? Reality has spoken. Yes, Wlad is an old fighter, no Wlad didn't go from dominating planet Earth to a walking mummy from Pulev to Jennings. Fury was not a bum. Fury was not all talk. Fury was not starched early, not starched easily, not starched at all, and won fair and square. That is my opinion. I'll even be having some others in the future. I haven't decided what they are yet.

            That Wlad would have easily whooped on Wilder, whihc is why Wilder didn't want to fight.

                Did Wlad have some kind of special size advantage over or employ more than average clinching and leaning tactics on Jefferson, McCline or Austin? This is what I mean. So many guys would rather write off Fury if not both of them than just say yeah Fury has skills. Well, sorry, he has serious skills and he has to be taken seriously about his skill level if nothing else or you can't be considered credibly objective.

                  Bad style match up is what happened.

                  Klitschko is a supreme athlete but he fights a textbook style he's I'll equipped to deal with awkward unpredictable unorthodox style and a guy with insane self belief who doesn't fear him

                    nah im a big fury fan, always rated him. I meant it in the sense that when wlad finally fought someone who was bigger than him with good skills then he got found out. I think wlad is almost unbeatable against a smaller fighter cause what can they do when they try to get a combo going and he just leans on them.
