Thread: Wlad v Fury - fight is here , talk is over poll.

Looking forward to the fight , I think most of us are , please post your outcome.

I've gone Wlad by KO as that's more likely (80%)

But I do see a scenario where Tyson can win if he can get on his case early and make it a rough one (20%)

As we all know it's only his size that gives him a chance but that's heavyweight boxing for you

I picked fury by ko but I'm just kind of hoping that happens if I was betting my money on the fight it would probably be wlad by ko

I think the popular one is Wlad by KO, but I'm going for Wlad by points. I reckon Wlad will dominate and Fury will go down maybe 4 or 5 times, but he'll keep getting up as I do believe he has loads of heart, I'll give him that.
I reckon Fury will see the final bell, but a landslide points victory to Wlad.

I want fury to win, I've voted wlad by ko

I just haven't seen fury fight a genuine world class fighter

I voted just in case no one knew who I was picking.....

What is that, some kind of dark ale in that avatar

Always was a lager man myself but never really indulged in the dark side of ale. It always gave me the runs.


You know this is an interesting matchup and as a few have already mentioned its largely because of the size comparison. Wach was and is a walking fence post whereas Fury is like Family Guy's Wacky waving inflatable arm flaling tube man

There is little doubt in my mind and there should be little doubt in even his super fans minds that size disparity alone has been the frame and structure of his success. That and his incessant blanketing of his opponents.

I dont think those things will be the same factor here and really Fury will be his first opponent that will not have to reach in, charge in or punch upward. Up until now even his opponents jabs had to climb uphill. The same Fury at 6'2 wouldnt have a hope.

Another thing to at least consider is the fact that Fury has improved and you can see it even though he's not fighting anyone special. Just awhile back before anything was announced or even planned we saw a pretty decent display by the big guy fighting southpaw and even then he said it was prep for Wlad.

On the other side, I think Wlad is still going to grapple at certain times and get away with it. I'd like to know who the ref is? Could be someone under the K2 umbrella. I think Tysons quick wit has gotten under his skin and Wlad has a little different look to him. I would not be surprised to see Wlad come out looking to put him away and throw some of the right hands that he seems so frugal on using because he's still overly concerned about the left he does not see coming. But that was against smaller, shorter guys that could have gotten through some blind spots. One did is a big way and that was Corrie Sanders with a left he never saw coming. Fury has probably watched that fight a hundred times and is most likely why he's training southpaw at camp and has been way before this fight even became inked or seriously discussed.

I took Wlad by ko in the challenge but will go with Fury by ko in your poll. I think it could be a short blow out by Wlad though leaving people holding 6 pints and 20 minutes to drink them lol
Or it could get interesting if it gets to that mid way area. Fury is just as likely to get caught being careless as Wlad is by a straight left should Fury fight leftie. I do know one thing and that is that this is the first hev fight that has interested me in years.

Mind you.... it's not what I want.... but I've voted Wlad by decision.

I see the fight going this way. Fury will try to make a statement early to back up all his pre-fight rhetoric, but will get tagged somewhere along the way. Still... he'll connect on Wlad himself enough to make Wlad rethink his strategy, and make him go back to being cautious. The rest of the fight will be both men being cautious, and Wlad being content with winning a boring decision.

I hope I'm wrong and Fury wins by KO.

I hope Fury points using his advantages in size and youth.

Shall we have another poll to see how mch taller Wlad will get?

He was taller than Vitali at the weighin today when they were stood together.

The idiot has been wearing lifts and getting slightly taller at each head to head. Very insecure. Probably had a sock down his shorts incase they made him take his trousers with weights in off.

I wonder what odds you would get for him being taller , Ross? Don't tell me, he'll start at 4/1 and by the time the fight comes around , he'll be less than 2/1, don't you think?
Hahahahahaha😂😂😂

looks like he shaved all his grey hairs off too!

I've voted Klit on points, I have a feeling it'll be a massive let down of a fight and they will hug and maul till the end or Fury will be completely outclassed and sparked out.

There is an outside chance that he will shock everyone though and thats what I want
