Official Tyson Fury vs Wladimir Klitschko Post Fight Discussion Thread

[Drunken Cat]

The fight wasn't very eventful, with few shots landing from either guy.

I seem to recall Fury landing one solid left hook.

Wlad. had some moments toward the end of the fight, in the 12th round in particular.

Either guy can knock either out.

Wlad. has the edge in power, pretty obviously.

You can't count Wlad. out in the rematch, but I think Fury should be the favorite to repeat.

Fanboys acting like Klitschko almost won

Fury had one of the easiest nights of his career.

Sad, but true. cab drivers tested Fury more. Though Fury was more crude back then also.

[Drunken Cat]

Fury has definitely improved.

He shutdown Klitschko.

I don't think Klitschko is in his prime at this stage.

However, Fury had a perfect fight plan, and he executed it.

The rematch is a new fight, but I don't see Klitschko winning it.

You never do know, but I am not seeing it.

And THAT'S been my point exactly!

Fury had one of the easiest nights of his career!

Basically making it OBVIOUS there's something wrong with Wladimir!

It was so, because Wladimir did not even really fight! At all!

It is unimaginable what the REAL Wladimir Klitschko would have done to Fury.

I've no doubt the prime Wlad would have wasted him really.

The ONLY question is whether Wlad is too shot or not in the rematch.

The alternative which some Fury afficionado's are trying to promote here is that Wladimir is WORSE than many of the Fury opponents that pushed Tyson harder.

Thus bummifying Wladimir.

Obviously there is something wrong with this picture!

And the solution is obviously WLADIMIR defeated himself just as much in the fight OR that he is shot, or a combination of both!

Tyson's prior fights have nothing to do with this one. Every fight is unique. Fury has gotten better also, and he fought a disciplined match.

Well I am glad we can agree on something.

[Drunken Cat]

Well I am glad we can agree on something.

I'm not anti-Wladimer, or a Fury nuthugger.

I'm a fan of boxing.

I was supporting Fury, because I thought a Fury victory would shake things up; and also I have an affinity for underdogs.

I love all fighters.

Wladimer has had a number of dull fights, but he has had some exciting fights as well.

I agree with the idea that to win the rematch, he is going to have to be offensive.

Again, I favor Fury to repeat. But it is a new fight.

If Wladimer does win, I hope there will be a trilogy (I can't imagine there wouldn't be, as there'd be plenty of money in it).

I see Fury winning again though, but we can't be sure about that.

And Vladimere was off when he clinchfested povatkin right? So its just a coincidence that he looks splendid against UPS guys, guys who have cement feet and guys who allow him to jab and stand right at the end of the jab (jennings)?

Heres a little lesson for ya junior. heavyweight boxing, in so far as it transcends other sports, is not like that.... Baseball is like that. Did you know that virtually and team can win in a baseball championship? statistically, often, even more often, the weaker team wins...because the weaker team got there on a streak, and are streaking when they play the better team. So one can often say, the better team just wasn't at their best...

Boxing is such that while a fighter has a bad night, usually the magic of the moment, the adrenaline, the resourcefulness of the fighters makes them rise to the occasion. Dylan Whyte last night is a perfect example...the guy was so focused that he took shots, hung in there and made a great scrap of it.

When a fighter canot rise to that occasion in the primal dance of the fight, thats on them...Lewis to many people's minds, myself included, lost out on being one of the very top heavyweights because he was kayood twice. Lewis was not at his best those nights and he rectified the situation, but the achievements stand. Vlad does not get a pass on this. Besides unlike Lewis there were obvious things Fury did to stop Vlad's jab, something you refuse to aknowledge.

Anyone who has ever fought in a ring knows the feeling when you want to punch, kick, etc and the guy has made it so you are having problems. One might as well be recieving an electric shock when trying to throw some attacks! I know from my experience fighting with my Sensei, knowing what it feels like to be tagged by him, trying to work through that and throw techniques was no picnick. But thats part of fighting.

Urgh, don't give Elroy ideas. He's probably reading this and nodding his head vigorously saying "Yes! Yes! That's exactly what happened!"

you mean like this:

Elroy:

"Gosh darn the old timer nutbaggers are at it again. Everyone knows that Vlad, a respected athlete, unlike the old timer one track minded sloths, has other responsabilities. Athletic training makes heavyweights sufficiently nourished and large that they need a requesite domicile, and space can be tight at times.

keeping these modern facilities clean, everyone knows, takes time and energy and Vlad had to clean his facilties, its obvious to everyone but the nutbaggers! So we should respect Vlad for giving those belts a hiatus, but the nutbaggers will all say he lost the fight to Fury hummm!

Vlad will rectify this situation shortly, the mere fact that people think he lost the fight is not a fact...its a fact that he didn't lose the fight because I Elroid proclaim it to be a fact! These nutbaggers would try to make people believe that Vlad lost this fight instead of treating his modern boxing facil****** to a clean with his modern genetically modified wife....Nutbaggers! Thats a fact!"
