Exactly. Everytime Fury upped the pressure in the fight, Wlad wilted and started to flail. Had fury put on the gas he would have knocked Wlad spark out. I think this time he will spark Wlad out!Quote:

Its quite another to even hint that this was some kind of glorious performance cause it wasn't. The outcome had more to do with what Wlad didn't do. One can give Fury credit for that also I suppose but if that's so then it would fall on some kind of brilliant performance taking advantage of that. Wlad was paranoid to throw anything and instead of capitalizing that Fury landed a dismal 86 punches in a 12 round fight. Wlad landed 52. In short, there was no turning it up.
Fury did what he had to do and deserves big credit for going to Wlads hometown and taking the tin but some perspective is in order even if its the upset of the decade or whatever.
Wlad needs to show some desire , some punch output and that he isn't totally shot at 39.
He could do that against the other belt holders. The reason he will never do it against Fury is because Fury is too good.Quote:

Perspective? :-) What's that?Quote:

What you saw was the result of the experiences he had in those losses. Had he pressed the issue earlier in the fight he knew he could have been hurt and he had the most competent fighter hes faced who would pour it on and finish him.Quote:

I just hope the rematch isn't an awful affair like the first one.
Tyson hurt Wlad a few times.Quote:

Of course Tyson can punch. Wladimir knows that which is why he fought so cautiously.
Fury can hurt when he hits, of course he can, he's an 18 stone bloke who's vocation in life is to punch people in the face, you wouldn't describe him as a power puncher though.
It's been difficult to gauge so far in his career because he's clearly been taking the piss for a big portion of it, pity patting his way past Chisora for e.g.
Fury did wobble and hurt Wlad late in the fight and Wlad clung on for dear life.
Hopefully Fury will try to hurt Wlad this time so the fight won't be as boringly forgettable as the first one.
Although judging by Fury's history of intentionally not sparking fighters it's doubtful. He likes doing rounds not ironing them out.
dunno how intentional it is, and more often than not I don't buy this "wanting extra rounds". I just think that for a very big guy , he doesn't punch that hard . it's not a big criticism here, in case Ross comes on here spurting bollocks.Quote:

Fury could have chinned Chisora in one round but "chose" to go 22. So as Memphis said, we won't know much about Fury's power until he actually decides to unleash it. We're in for some spectacle... if he ever does decide to show it, of course
