Klitschko-Fury Set for October 24 in Dusseldorf, Germany

[Primo Carnera]

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 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.

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.
