    I definitely give Klitschko a better chance of winning this time around cuz Fury is self destructive + has shaky focus at times plus historically the Klitschko's have done well in rematches (even if they tag teamed a few of them), but with Fury's mastery of distance & movement in their first fight I think the most likely outcome is another wide-ish W for Fury with Klitschko not being able to pull the trigger enough once again.
    wlad wasnt a champ for so long that he couldnt do better than what he did vs fury. fury on the other hand is fury. i dont see him making any changes. imho, it was more of wlad having a really ****ty night than fury being the next hw king.

    we will see

      I think Fury was more on point, than Klitschko was off point. I mean a guy with 70 odd fights or whatever he has shouldn't be having off nights at this point in their career with all that experience with fighting over a couple decades & numerous championship fights.

      I think way more often its the opponent or advanced age that gave a more experienced high level guy a bad night. And whatever happens I don't expect it to be an easy night for Klitschko either unless Fury just has a reallllllly bad night himself & comes in highly unfocused &/or unprepared which I don't think is beneath him which is why I was all over betting on Fury the first time aound at +600, but am staying away this time with the fight being a pick em more or less (last I checked Klitschko was a slight favorite, but its a tight betting line).

      We will see though....hopefully anyway with how things have been going.

          Thank you for your help. Now back to being rivals....SO! Tyson Furry wants to speed up the rematch because his window is closing! or is it Klitschko that wants this rematch before the court rules? I wonder if the ruling goes against Fury if that would force the sanctioning bodies to render the belts void of champion and thereby issuing a vacancy ordering the #1. and #2. to fight for them? this would be disastrous for Klitch.
          When Fury took UKAD to court to get his ban lifted the rematch had already been pencilled in for Oct, but not confirmed. The judge ordered UKAD to lift their ban so the fight could take place. That was a very unusual ruling by the judge, and he must have had a reason for doing it.

          If the rematch is rescheduled for a date after his case is due to be heard, I think Fury will probably go to court again and ask for the hearing to be postponed so he can focus on his fight. The judge already ruled in his favour once, so there is every chance he would do the same thing again.

          I'm very confident that Fury will be cleared of these allegations when his case is heard. What will happen if he isn't is anybody's guess!

          The test result he is being accused over happened when he was training for the first fight with Wlad. If the result of that fight is overturned, maybe Wlad could sue UKAD for not revealing a positive test and allowing Fury to compete with an illegal advantage.

            That would be the sensible decision -- if the judge rules against him that could mean a loss of millions ; without the titles the PPV just does not sell well.

              LOL no doubt about that. For me that first fight was a range of emotions. I was excited cuz I knew Fury could beat Klitschko & was happy when he proved that & who doesn't like being proven correct. But I mean purely as a boxing fan just trying to enjoy a fight whatever happens to go down, which I also enjoy being, that fight was the worst HW title fight I think I've ever seen & I've been a guy critical of Wladimir "Clinchko" in the past lol & also think some of Ali's later HW title fights were awful to watch.

                    Let's hope for more than like 12 punches landed between the both of them.

                      fury does the job again, even easier than the first time. People can say wlad had an 'off' night, well how come he didnt seem to have an 'off' night against anyone else. He lost cause he relies on jab and grab, against a smaller fighter wlad is near on unbeatable. Against someone taller and bigger, he is very vulnerable
