Klitshcko - Fury the gloves are off

[X]

The reason why Wlad is world heavyweight champion, and the reason he was also an Olympic gold medalist is that he always controls the pace and the tempo of the fight, and he controls space very very well

The guy who beats him, unless he Gets old suddenly and walks into a huge shot is the guy who can sense that control from him.

Fury is a fighter to his core, but I don't think he has the ring intelligence or the solid technique to be that guy.

For the non believers of Tyson prepare to be very surprised.

Who is Klitschko sparring for this?

Other than that Ernest "Zeus" journeyman and Richard Towers?

I think Fury will try and dominate with his jab setting a good pace. Hopefully he can keep it up and build a commanding lead before wlad puts on a late charge.

[Fenster]

Wlad seemed a bit surprised at how respectful and how informed Fury was about him. Fury saying his losses to Sanders and Brewster mean nothing. Wlad made the point that Fury isn't a puncher. I think that will be the biggest factor in the fight. Wlad knows he can chin him but is not scared of getting chinned.

[Fenster]

On another note - sifting through that boxingtipster site, he/she should employ a points system for the tips. Some good tips/analysis there but i'd rather cut my nuts off than back an even money shot for £10. Or £1 on a 25/1 shot. No disrespect.

I would love for fury to win this fight but I doubt it happens.

Fury could go southpaw to confuse Wlad.

Wlad is also sparring Helenius.

Iv just watched an 8 round exhibition he fought in early November against a 6/2 journeyman and he looked shit! If he rematched Chisora, he gets an actual loss this time! Hes easy to hit, slow, gets outworked.

Also, seen Malik Scott there. Fury used Scott for sparring a few years ago but had to get rid after busting both his eardrums!

So far I see no one that Wlad is sparring that can actually push him.

[Fenster]

We'll I assume Wlad is using those giants purely to replicate Fury's height? It will be odd for Wlad to be not punching down.

Who has Fury been sparring?

Who has Fury been sparring?

Young unbeaten ambitious fighters. Peter Fury said they have used experienced men before but when Tyson starts unloading because he always spars hard they clam up and just get through the rounds. He wants young men who will try to put it on Tyson and make a name for themselves.

They have Cassius Chaney, Nicholas Asberry, Franz Rill among others like the world champion kickboxers.

Fury was actually very clever throughout the interview. He wanted to put doubt in Wlads mind and he tried to do it in lots of different ways. He even got Woad to respond a couple of times about his age, plus was good at 'visualising' the fight, I wonder if he had a osychologist help him prepare for it?

Impressive interview, I thought Wlad was uncharacteristically hesitant.

Of course, I'm not sure it will mean anything at all when the bell rings.
