Klitschko-Fury Set for October 24 in Dusseldorf, Germany

[ross]

Fury exceeded himself when interviewed on the Channel 5 card recently, where he described himself as, the most intelligent opponent Wlad has had to deal with in a press conference. He has a special kind of genius to convince himself of that alone, and then be able to say it with a straight face.

Whether you believe him or not its not really saying much.

How many other fighters got under Wlads skin 4 months before their bout?

I don't think he has. Only you you, Peter and Tyson think he has.:-)

I think a better question is what good did it do for them.

You think this is a new act for Tyson?

Exactly... We all anticipated the press conferences and face to faces because we know Tyson is Tyson and yes when Tyson told Wlad to shut up and listen when hes being spoken to Wlad did as he was told amd had to listen to Tyson systematically break him down point by point. Wlads facial expressions were not of a man expecting what he got. He looked startled at points and enraged.

[Nameless]

It's gonna pretty much be a Klishko on sided victory over a very brash Fury and I am sure that it won't last 12 rounds. The end.

I fully expect you to see it this way, I have to say I never. Admittedly I saw a very confident Fury who wasn't overawed, and I like that .
But I thought Klitschko looked very relaxed and enjoyed it. I also thought that when Wlad was making the press laugh when he was talking German, Fury was looking over and was covering up his agitation at not being able to understand what was going on. He didn't have a clue what Wlad was saying and wasn't sure how far Wlad was taking the piss! It's understandable,and tbh while it's all good fun,we can read what we want into this, but it means fuck all once the first bell rings.
The fact remains Fury hasn't fought anywhere near this level while Wlad has been doing it forever, and I do think that will be the difference. I'd be happy to be wrong , but I can't see it.

Wlad felt he needed to take over the room and the only way he could do that is by talking German to take Tyson out of it. Even then though Tyson ripped him back each time with the employing him as a shrink when Tyson makes him lose his job Or the klit is getting licked Or maybe Wlad can take notes on how to give an entertaining speech so as not to bore everyone

Wlad had to talk German as that was his only option to take the attention and charge but as you saw he was shot down each time and quit each time same as the fight will be, just wont be able to deal with Tysons activity.

Come on Ross, Wlad spoke German because he was in GERMANY, talking to GERMAN press, and the fight is in GERMANY! Please don't give it the "little Englander" . Although he's not German, they have taken to him as one of their own,admittedly mainly down to the fact that he's a winner. Not a lot different to the UK and Lennox in my book or maybe a closer comparison would be a Kevin Pietersen. (Different sport,but you know what I mean.)
What will be intriguing is how Fury is going to react when Wlad's people make team Fury wrap his hands for about the fourth time, then because it takes so long , he hasn't got time for a proper warm up, they'll rush him into the ring,and then guess what, he has to wait 10 - 15 minutes for Wlad to decide when he wants to get in the ring.
Will Fury have time to psyche himself? Will he go over the edge and lose his discipline? Will he be angry? Will he be too calm? These are the questions every guy must face going in with Wlad.
You can say after the event , "that's not fair, boo hoo" , but hey, that's the way it is!

[mrbig1]

I think Fury has a real shot in this fight. Not because he's better but Wlad is not getting any younger. I've notice he has really slowed down. If Fury wins the battle of the jab it's going to be very for Wlad to grab on hold.
