Remember when 4-1 underdog Fury outclassed Klitschko by UD?
The only good thing about that fight was the result.
It was a terrible fight, I hope we don't see the rematch play out the same way, but it's probably the most likely outcome. It's interesting in that Wlad is more than capable of knocking Fury out, and can't do any worse than the first fight, but maybe it's wishful thinking to expect he'll take risks that he hasn't in so long.
Fury just out-stunk the big Ukranian stinker. Beating him at his own game-but doing it with movement rather than grabbing and clinching.
Says he will let his hands go this time.
Will Fury make Klitschko look as foolish this time around?
Here is the latest face off. Fury is trying to hard and Wlads not buying it.For sure the deck is missing a few cards but this is Fury's strategy. I think Wlad sees through it. I like the fact that Wlad said he was out for revenge because Fury is trying to make him feel sorry for him. Fury kind of blew when he said if he loses he still gets the big fights and later that if he loses he quits.
It all rests on Wlad throwing.

Fury is not the idiot a lot of us think he is
He'll be in shape and ready as ever - and he's right Wlad won't be able to change tactics and fight any differently this time round.
And he'll have to go for it and Fury will pick him off.
Same result or late stoppage for Tyson
i think theres a risk of fury getting stopped late this time
but most likely fury on points
I watched some boxnation pundits talking about the first fight the other day, the scores were something like 115-113 which I thought were close, wlad won 2 or 3 rounds for me, them pundits tho were saying it was closer than 115-113
not sure how much closer you can get
This big idiot is gonna allow Wlad back in the mix. Just four weeks from the fight.

As Fury said, Wlad knows what he needs to do, but can he do it?
A long swinging attack from Fury in the first round might send Wlad in his shell for the remainder of the fight.
@Fenster I worried when I saw that BUT as long as he wasnt drinking or taking drugs I think it was probably just a trip to see his family and let off some steam. He was only holding water in the pictures.
That is the only way Wlad will win, he is the challenger and away from home, I think Wlad will do the same and comprehensively lose.
The first fight was nor close but box nation have to say it was to make it look exciting.
Which is better value for money 12 boring rounds or 2 round blow out?
I quite like Fury. He seems like the kind of guy I could have a good conversation with. Wlad must be so boring to talk to. Wlad might have all the qualifications, but that Fury chap has his eyes wide open.
I thought Fury would do well to last the distance in the first fight. And I think the same this time; I do not buy this double bluff thing, I think Fury has lost the fire and although I do not think Wlad can be much better than he was in fight one, I think that will be enough this time to stop Fury, probably by the middle rounds.
Wlad is so shot the result may well be the same. Champions do not go out landing a few punches a round and finish on their feet for safety.
How much fire did Fury really need/show in the first fight though? I agree the way he's been talking is weird and all, but I'm thinking if Wlad can't do significantly more it will be a repeat.
I can't help noticing how Fury has completely got into Klitschkos head, dominating every conversation and media event. It's clear that Wlad doesn't know how to respond and he looks pretty psyched out to me.
I shudder to think what Muhammad Ali would have done to his head!
Do you think Fury will need more than 86 connected punches this time around or can he land even fewer and still beat Klitschko?
Fury only allowed Klitschko 52 landed punches all fight!!
I was reading they're really struggling to sell tickets, only half gone. Don't mean to be a scaremongering cunt but what's the chances one of them pulls out with injury and it gets relocated to Germany for later in the year? Hope not.
I would have thought this would be an easy sell - had I not been out that night I would have gone as not seen Klitschko fight in the flesh and despite what I think of his style I'd have liked to. He is a decent bloke after all ;)
Can't find any info on ticket availability but if it's true what Fenster said wouldn't surprise me
I'm sure Klitschko will pull out at least once or twice before the fight.
The dude is a massive pussy!
I might get a ticket
what have I got to lose
FFS
That's it am cancelling boxnation and not going back. Ever
Could be genuine but happens far too often these days
this fight is actually the only reason ive still got boxnation
thing is, ill come to cancel it and realise its only £12 a month
@Fenster 10 days ago he sprained his ankle, either at this rave or running in the day before like he says and thought fuck it fights off now anyway so went out.
think its legitimate @ross?
Fighters get injured , David Haye got cut then he hurt his shoulder , Fury has hurt his ankle ,
he wouldn't want to fight injured like Haye and his sore toe now would he ?
Pwhat reason would Fury have for pulling out? Wlad was one of his easiest wins and in Germany. He has home town and already beaten him. It does coincide with him being seen at a rave. I think that was a blow out after it happened. He either knew he wasnt going to be able to train on it for a few days or he thought the fight was off. I did see that they were running in the lake district so it could well have happened. Iv just come back from a goin injury something iv never had before doing sprints a pine forest and my left foot slipping back and inch on the slippery pine needles and that took 6 weeks before I could run slowly on it as it gave me a hernia as well. I got back in to running last October, got down from 17.5 stone to 15 and was fit, doing all our athletic clubs races and doing well, getting quicker so I wasnt unfit doing it. Just a shitty surface to run on.
Ill give Tyson the benefit of the doubt. He doesnt have a history of ripping people off. He has no fear factor of loosing to Wlad and hes already proven hes the best in the division. Unfortunate and annoying because he needs to beat Klitschko again to get that out the way and move on with some big fights against Wilder and Joshua.
