Klitschko's either going to knock fury out or go out on his shield I've got a strong feeling. Can't see another 12 rounds

Really hoping he does knock him out as well. He's acting like the great champion some people believe on here In taking it. Not sure if he can do it but if he hits him as clean as Cunningham furys going to bed
Well , I'm probably going to be wrong again because I'm not sure Wlad will go through with a rematch. We shall see.
At his age he may as well get the money for a rematch and go down all guns blazing , his legacy wont be spoiled even if he loses again and with HW boxing you never know.
Will defo be a KO ending this time and I think it makes for a more exciting fight now Klitschko has to go for it - and yes I suspect him to be the sort to gout on his shield.
However I think Fury has him beaten mentally and will be better in the rematch.
Tyson in 8
We'll see what happens, I think he can win a rematch, I certainly think celebrity can go to Tyson Fury's head the same as anyone else and that right there is going to be the biggest factor....how does Fury handle being "The Man" of the division, some fighters take it and run with it, others soak up the benefits and get fat off of it and lose their drive.
Got to give a better effort though, win or lose.
Honestly I think Wlad has the gears to adjust but he'll be fighting completely out of his comfort zone and approach. His mind has to be mush right now. Fury I believe has shown all his cards, not sure he can fight any better than he did but his confidence and self awareness will be through the roof. Both will be leaving more openings and for our sake lets hope its not a repeat of an exercise in boredom.
Wlad has been very classy in defeat, I must say.
I don't think anyone could argue against Klitschko still being the best current heavyweight that Fury could fight next.
It will be interesting to see whether Wlad can train himself to ignore his instinct and actually take a risk by letting his hands go. He is an intelligent guy and he will be carefully studying how he actually got outboxed for the first time in his career .....
Wlad can nof fight aggressively it is against everything he instinctively does. If it is in Germany he could win just by being more aggressive for more rounds.
If he fights at Wembley wlad will lose convincingly but on points.
Both do not have the power to stop one another.
If Wlad wants to earn some respect back from the public, he'd better actually show some offense this time around. Even Wlad fans grudgingly admit that his effort against Fury was pathetic, but only those of us who've criticized Wlad since the beginning know that it was just the culmination of something that was going to rear its ugly head sooner or later... as soon as someone as big as Wlad and representing a real danger got in front of Wlad in the ring.
If I were to bet, I'd say Wlad has too much muscle memory ingrained in him, and he won't be able to let his hands go sufficiently to bother Fury. Fury will probably invoke the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" playbook.... and the rematch will be a rerun of the original.
I hope Fury KTFO's him, however.
I can see wlad trying to be aggressive and getting hit and hurt like he did in the 11th round and just ride it out to lose on points to take the money to retire.Quote:

As someone already mentioned earlier, and I agree, Tyson has the advantage mentally.
In fact, I think Tyson was able to get into Wladimir's head and that contributed to Wlad's loss. But there is more. Now the two have tested each other for 12 rounds and gotten a feel of how the other fights. I think it is going to be hard for either man to introduce anything new into a second fight. I see the second fight very likely ending in a similar fasion to the first. Also Wladimir is aging and we cannot deny that. Wladimir is old in boxing years eventhough he is still fit. I think he may not be as quick on the draw anymore, and Tyson himself has said as much. Tyson still has a lot of mileage on him yet. By the time the 2nd fight rolls around, Wladimir will be no fresher and certainly no more confident than the first time.
Barring a lucky hard right hand from Wladimir, we will see the same dance we just saw.
Fury did to wlad, what wlad had done over the 10 years outboxing the smaller man behind the jab. It was hugely satisfying wlad getting his own medicine.
If this goes ahead, it's a great fight for Fury. He makes a shed load of money and he'll be confident of beating him again. I don't know what Wlad will bring new to the table nor if after all these years he can adjust. This ain't Apollo Creed teaching Rocky speed and movement, this is for real!
I also don't think team Fury will be content enough to use the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality.
The one thing that nobody has mentioned that I think is of paramount importance is Peter Fury. I believe he set the game plan and I believe he will extend and improve that . When all said and done, I think his influence has been massive, and I think he's an extremely knowledgable and intelligent guy. His Brother (Fury's dad), on the other hand offers zilch and is probably a hindrance, but hey it's his Dad I suppose.
i guess now, we'll just wait for the announcement that he'll hire freddy roach for the rematch. ;D
Although I found the fight to be a snoozefest, Fury fought the perfect fight to beat Wlad. It was interesting to see Wlad lose in such an anticlimactic fight as he has brought us so many anticlimactic fights I was very anti Wlad after the Prod fight but I warmed up to him again. He knew how to win and did it for a very long time. Definitely a historical figure in boxing and you gotta love that jab. If Wlad can go balls to the wall in a rematch, hell yeah. I'm all for a rematch, it has to be more exciting than this one í ½í°·. But congrats to the Fury fans, good for mother england, I'm glad the HW champ is out of the former USSR. I think this is a great thing for the HW division. Glad to hear Wlad calling for a rematch. No matter what I think of him the guy is an amazing athlete and a great boxer
Both men have the power to knock each other out because both I suspect are chinny.
Rematches do not normally bode well for champions. Walcott got smoked in a rematch with Marciano. Frazier got smoked in the rematch with foeman. Holmes got smoked in the rematch with Spinx. Tyson got smoked in his rematch with Holyfield. Holyfield Got smoked in his rematch with Lennox Lewis. Floyd Patterson got smoked in his rematch with Sonny Liston. Sonny Liston Got smoked in his rematch with Muhammad Ali.
Wladimir Klitschko will get smoked in his rematch with Tyson Fury and he should not even go ahead with the fight. He will be 6 months older than he is now and Tyson Fury will be 6 months stronger and more confident than he is now Plus fighting at Wembley. Klitschko will be desperate to redeem himself and he will come forward lunging more than he did before and he does not fight very well lunging forward or coming in and big Tyson Fury with the Hoodoo Stick will knock him cold decapitate that clown with a massive uppercut like never seen before.
