I thought it was kind of boring to be honest, I expected more from Fury everybody who Wlad is, in Estern European accent "he very good boxer" "I respect him" "I train very hard" "I give him therapy"
What's interesting is that Fury says he has a speed advantage over Wlad. I think Wlad is quicker than a lot of people realise. I think Haye thought he was going to be much faster than Wlad but it wasn't the case. I'm not saying he is lightning fast, but his intelligent movement is just as effective as others quick movement. I think Haye felt he has so much speed advantage that he could dart in and out, but Wlad is very quick to take a backwards step and make guys lean in. Both Fury and Wlad are very agile for such big guys.
With that said, i still think Wlad is going to have to show something different in this fight if he's going to win it convincingly. I think the tactics like leaning down on the opponent to tire them isn't going to work with a bigger man, also Fury can match him for reach and Fury can fight long which may force Wlad to need to get a little closer than he's usually willing to if he wants to land shots, which might be ideal for Fury because he's a good inside fighter for a huge guy.
I still lean towards Wlad and he's rightly the favourite but he will have to show he has a few more tricks up his sleeve than he has needed to in recent years. I'm sure he does, he's very experienced.
