Big win for Fury and for BOXING!!

FINALLY!! And end to the most boring heavyweight boxing reign in the history of the sport!!
I would've preferred to see Wlad on his ass... but I'm satisfied with the total UD win by Fury.
It's a win for boxing for the following reasons:

1. Fans were becoming accustomed to yet another Wlad boring win. It was almost automatic. Hence the lack of interest in the division.

2. Wlad's fear of getting hit finally became exposed. I've been trumpeting this since well..... for a few years now.... and it finally was on display for all to see. Wlad faces a guy as big as him, and fights like he's got his right hand tied to his face.

3. It'll now open up the division for one of several things: a Fury-Wlad rematch (who knows.... Wlad may even come to fight this time), Fury-Wilder, and any other assorted matchups that theoretically can now be made now that the big china-chinned bum is out of the way.


Fantastic!! ;D ;D

Was it a good fight,much action or not?

Not much landed by either man, so the fight wasn't aesthetically pleasing.
But Wlad's lack of effort was atrocious.
Forget CompuBox.
They could've used the fingers on their hands to count Wlad's punches.... and have some left over.

Well Fury made Wlad look one dimensional, Wlad lost his jab his weapon he dominates opponents
with, Fury beat him to the jab, and Wlad had no answer and was made to look poor a younger
stronger fighter won the day, Wlad lost all advantages size speed and jab and just seemed to be lost
and to beat Wlad in Germany something else.:)

It does feel like the suffocation will now let up. Wlads bunker mentality extended from bout selection and foam padding all the way into the last few rounds of his reign when he needed to most brutal but wouldn't.

If Fury can avoid turning into a total WWE type charade (the post interview started to go there, then he righted it) and fights as big as his personality, the division can make some noise.

I'm not sure why Banks was telling Wladimir to stay low. I get that that was to get Fury to over commit but that's counter puncher territory.

Wlad needed some good old fashioned head control, pull down, step round and throw.

Gotta love all those "experts" who watch boxing once a year and saw this match posting about it :)

if he was being patient to wait to throw the right hand coming forward he could have stepped back and looked to make fury commit by counter punching, he could have also maybe thrown an uppercut or two whenever he lurched in, head down but he didn't. Fury didn't do much but Wlad even less, he threw that away rather than Fury taking it.

You don't sound happy. I try to tell everybody Tyson was going to win.

I think if Tyson was a little more skilled in throwing his punches, it may have even been a KO victory. He threw a lot of those right hands a bit too wide. I was hoping for one of them to land.... and he did connect some good left hooks on Wlad late in the fight. If Wlad had Fury's moxie and bravado.... he'd be unbeatable.

AND...... he'd have a lot more fans. But he doesn't, he isn't, and he doesn't.

;D

Fight was horrible. And both fighters are to blame. Fury got the win. But this was pretty much more Wlad losing the fight than Fury actually winning it.

I thought Fury would win. Doctor Steelhammer ? Doctor Dolittle would have put up a better effort. It wasn't a great fight, not even a good fight, nor was it a even great performance. I thought they were both gun shy, but it was the victory that matters, more than the performance and for Fury to go to an opponents backyard and win a world title against fighter who has been world champion for 10 years, then he deserves all the credit.

Wlad should just retire. He's made a shed load of money and been one of the most dominant heavyweight champions there is.

I agree with anyone who says Wlad didn't do enough, but let's not forget that Tyson had quite a bit to do with that.

Klits last two fights are exactly how I always said you had to fight him. He looked dominant because his opponents literally stood in front of him doing nothing. Jennings pressured him but just didn't have anywhere near the skill to win but did pretty well still. Fury is a decent fight and just moved and didn't let wlad set his feet the whole fight. Wlad looked terrible because his opponent did something. He has tended to look terrible throughout his career against fighters who actually do something.

ALL OF wlad's opponents ran like lil bitches, backed straight up, didnt do shit.
