What is that, some kind of dark ale in that avatar

Always was a lager man myself but never really indulged in the dark side of ale. It always gave me the runs.


You know this is an interesting matchup and as a few have already mentioned its largely because of the size comparison. Wach was and is a walking fence post whereas Fury is like Family Guy's Wacky waving inflatable arm flaling tube man

There is little doubt in my mind and there should be little doubt in even his super fans minds that size disparity alone has been the frame and structure of his success. That and his incessant blanketing of his opponents.

I dont think those things will be the same factor here and really Fury will be his first opponent that will not have to reach in, charge in or punch upward. Up until now even his opponents jabs had to climb uphill. The same Fury at 6'2 wouldnt have a hope.

Another thing to at least consider is the fact that Fury has improved and you can see it even though he's not fighting anyone special. Just awhile back before anything was announced or even planned we saw a pretty decent display by the big guy fighting southpaw and even then he said it was prep for Wlad.

On the other side, I think Wlad is still going to grapple at certain times and get away with it. I'd like to know who the ref is? Could be someone under the K2 umbrella. I think Tysons quick wit has gotten under his skin and Wlad has a little different look to him. I would not be surprised to see Wlad come out looking to put him away and throw some of the right hands that he seems so frugal on using because he's still overly concerned about the left he does not see coming. But that was against smaller, shorter guys that could have gotten through some blind spots. One did is a big way and that was Corrie Sanders with a left he never saw coming. Fury has probably watched that fight a hundred times and is most likely why he's training southpaw at camp and has been way before this fight even became inked or seriously discussed.

I took Wlad by ko in the challenge but will go with Fury by ko in your poll. I think it could be a short blow out by Wlad though leaving people holding 6 pints and 20 minutes to drink them lol
Or it could get interesting if it gets to that mid way area. Fury is just as likely to get caught being careless as Wlad is by a straight left should Fury fight leftie. I do know one thing and that is that this is the first hev fight that has interested me in years.
