Wlad had always had a size advantage, this time he was facing a opponent, bigger and stronger than himself.
Fury just beat him at his own game,! Wlad may not have been at his best, but Fury was better, it was a good win , I was thinking he was going to be robbed, in
Germany but far play the score cards, were a about right.
It was blatantly obvious Wlad prospered because of his size advantage. His punch variety has always been pathetic. Jab, left hook, right hand. That's it.
I agree the best thing about last night is we hopefully never have to watch the most boring heavyweight champion in history ever again. Please join Floyd in retirement.

Fury v Joshua is MASSIVE :cool:
Fury has just totally changed everything in the Division!
i had two bets on both winning in the 12th round and another of Wlad winning in 3 so just missed out on a big payout :(
Rare trip to the bookies for me ;D
Yeah out with old in with the new.
This is terrific for heavyweight boxing. I hope Wlad sees sense and doesn't enforce the rematch clause. Just fuck off and let the new boys have their time.
For the record - AJ irons Fury inside three rounds :D
I'm unhappy to see talent thrown away. He gave away his titles instead of fighting for them. Don't know if everyone was seeing the same stream as me, brother was not happy early on in the fight, he could see it, for whatever reason Wlad couldn't or wouldn't make he adjustments, suspect they were banking on him to stop jigging about the ring.Quote:

The last two rounds were the best of fight, in my opinion, as Wlad abandoned his cautious approach and landed a few punches.Quote:

Fury came with the right plan, good luck to him during his reign.
This is good for boxing because Batman is more beatable than Wlad and the belts will change hands more often?Quote:

This is good for boxing because Batman is a more exiciting fighter than Wlad? Not if he fights like he did against Wlad! Batman beat Wlad at his own game. ;D
This is good for boxing because Batman is an even bigger guy than Wlad and everybody loves to see big fighters beat smaller fighters? The bigger the better!!
This is good for boxing because Batman has the odds makers doubting themselves and it's good to see the underdog win?
This is good for boxing because Tyson Fury brought the Heavyweight Championship back to the UK where it all started? Yeah, I can agree with that!!:cool:
I'll go so far as to say Wlad should apologize to his fans. Thank goodness I'm not one of them. To be a staunch supporter of Wlad (ie: Lyle), and be presented with that atrocious lack of effort. To be a diehard fan of Wlad's.... and be faced with the fact that every criticism leveled at Wladimir Klitschko is not only true, but probably understated. To defend Wlad at every turn, only to see him turn in a pathetic effort which trumps all other pathetic efforts he's ever had......
Well.... the correct thing for Wlad to do would be to make a public apology to his fans.
Then retire.
Give Fury some credit, I do not think any other heavyweight could make Wlad look that bad including Wilder or Joshua.Quote:

Scared of Wlad almost as much as Wlad himself was scared of getting hit on the chin. Kudos to Fury for humiliating Wlad on the world's biggest stage..... the boxing heavyweight championship of the world.
Also doing it in Germany against 60,000 fans with all the devious actions Wlad was trying on Fury such as the soft canvas, gloves and wraps.Quote:

I watch fights every week, at every level, in every weight-class, from everywhere in the world. I don't just follow a few favourite fighters. So, that would be a bad bet for me. I'll stick to putting real money where my mouth is. :)Quote:
