Tyson Fury "Key to beating Wlad is fighting southpaw"

[AdamGB]

He should have said "they key to me getting away with fighting horribly in a southpaw stance is that I've only done it against 6 foot 2 plodders"...

He can get away with it when he towers over somebody, he's not going to tower over Wlad.

If he's serious about beating Wlad then he needs to work on getting more pop in his shots and get in there with some big men (not chis or hammer...), his party trick is cute but not enough.

Hold on, Wlad hasn't got the chin to worth worry about needing to be putting more pop in his shots. Pulev who isn't as big a puncher as Tyson hurt Wlad with a jab!

Can Wlad handle someone who is very good at pouring in the shots? Rather than just the plodding one, twoers he's been facing? Someone who can move and actually put punches together is a nightmare for Wlad let alone someone with tysons size to go with it.

I'm not so sure Wlad has a bad chin. Not great obviously. I agree with questioning: can Wlad handle someone who is good at pouring in the shots.

Also noting Sanders had punching power, so no real shame in that knockout. It was indeed IMO a damn great contrast of style that worked for Sanders who sacrificed his jab by parying Wlad's jab, followed by a hard straight left.

Wlad's chin IMO wasn't really tested by Sam. When Wlad got dropped by Peter, it was that wild ass side to back of the head-wind-mill shot. Second knockdown I think was a pushdown. I could be wrong, but I don't recall Peter checking Wlad's chin. It was an equilibrium shot that dropped Wlad.

Same with Peter vs Toney.
Toney took those shots to the back of the head better than Wlad. But that IMO is a testament to Toney's inner fortitude & Wlad's lack of it. & the Brewster loss IMO he was pure gassed-out.

Wlad takes Fury's punches easily IMO and wins an easy UD. Or he will make it look easy that is.

Tyson is not a weak puncher. He is just better than most give him credit for. He's very fluid and not just for his size but any heavyweight. He can move and punch on the move he can fight on the inside and put punches together well. He doesn't load up on his shots either like other fighters do and tore themselves out. When he dropped Hammer he could have finished him then and there but is actually listening to instruction and just boxing. Not risking anything.

The proof in the pudding really is how quiet the Fury bashers are today because they really have nothing to criticise his display on. Everyone is changing their opinions of him. He was a clumsy oaf (in their view) but now he's handling world rated heavies easy and looking skillfull doing it.

[AdamGB]

People are quiet because the fight was nothing to get excited about in the first place Ross, another undersized and limited heavyweight.

The fact that you have to tell us about all of the attributes that Fury has says it all really.

You're looking at the fight backwards, the 50 fight veteran isn't the one who is going to be shown things he's never seen before...

Edit: sorry 66 fight veteran...

The guy who got dropped heavily an old cruiserweight, took 4 times as many rounds to stop Del boy as a cruiserweight and who has yet to face a BIG world class heavyweight is the guy who is going to be dealing with something beyond what he's dealt with so far.

[Dark Lord Al]

Fury has been well matched to get where he is , im sick of all the talk , let Wlad have him.

[Vendettos]

I have to agree that Fury has been matched well.

I've never seen a fight I didn't expect him to win, I always wanted him to get destroyed, but always knew he'd win.

The fact of the matter is, to us brits he's Tyson Fury and he's the next big thing.

But to Wlad he's just another Mariusz Wach, Leapi, Pulev, Pianeta, the list goes on.

I really want Wlad to blast him out so this hype can finally be put to bed.
