Wlad-Fury - Plus Rod Stewart. 10pm. Saturday/SKY PPV. Fact.

[Andre]

Congrats to the UK, and to Ross. Hell, congrats to Jesus too!

Yeah well after that read through the rounds, props to all involved.

[IamInuit]

Knowing how the Klits do business we have to assume that Wlad has an iron clad immediate rematch clause.

Wlad looked flat but man you have to give credit for how well Fury fought. The movement and the floating to his left when Wlad threw the left hook was pretty nice. Great head movement to. Wlads right hand was vacant but its because of Fury again.

The guy deserves huge credit and this has to rank way up there on the upset list

I think as you mention there will be a rematch clause. But Wlad might call it a day, I doubt he can improve on what he did tonight.

That said, I hope Fury's fancy drill in Tyson's psyche in the next couple of days what happened to Riddick Bowe after he won the crown...

He looked dead a few times but the size of Fury, his speed, unorthodox style gave Wlad fits and not to blow my own horn but as I have often said it could but given the experience factor I never thought it would. Wlad looked like he was missing his sand box. I doubt Fury could have performed the same with the mud floor they had planned. Fury was not standing in front of him and they even figured out how to counter his hugging. He rolled left and threw from odd angles and made Wlad look terribly slow. Sure Wlad is 39 but he was expected to annihilate Fury going in. I think its unfair to underplay what Fury did to make him look that 39.

I'd still pick Wlad to win a rematch by KO

Gluton for punishment eh?

[TitoFan]

I think if Tyson was a little more skilled in throwing his punches, it may have even been a KO victory. He threw a lot of those right hands a bit too wide. I was hoping for one of them to land.... and he did connect some good left hooks on Wlad late in the fight. If Wlad had Fury's moxie and bravado.... he'd be unbeatable.

AND...... he'd have a lot more fans. But he doesn't, he isn't, and he doesn't.

Congrats to Fury but i got to say that was boring fight i mean nothing happened for most of it. If there is a rematch not sure if i will even go watch it people complain about wald being boring but Fury did not really kncok my socks off he going to be like Wald pretty much but it is nice have a new champ.

I'm watching it now. I'm so happy. I got a text saying Fury had won and I thought it was a wind up. Then I had a dodgy signal but eventually the Guardian confirmed it! Fantastic. Once that fucking cabbage farmer fought somebody who could move and was as big as him to nullify his jab and grab he just shit himself. He's scared to throw the jab because he's terrified of what he might get hit with in return. Fuck off cabbage farmer, you were shit to watch and have zero balls.

Damn right!
Maybe people now will start giving a sh*t about the heavyweight division again.

[TitoFan]

That is PRECISELY what Wlad fought like....... a scared little deer afraid of throwing a meaningful punch lest he get his fragile chin grazed.
A disgraceful display by one of the worst champions in history.

That's a bit much, Wlad may not be the most entertaining, but there have been so many people, particularly in the current era who have been able to get a share of the heavyweight title, and there is no way that he is one of the worst.

If I've exaggerated a bit, it's out of the frustration of seeing the division held hostage by a boring fighter who proved once and for all that he doesn't fight to win, but rather protect his fragile chin. The only thing that would have made this more complete is if Fury would've flattened him for his troubles.

I agree that he was (already flipping into past tense...no rematch in my mind) horribly boring to watch but I do have a grudging respect for how he realized that his main flaw was the weak chin, and how he went on to create a gameplan that was so difficult to overcome for so long that protected his key weakness. I do agree that his defeat makes it a much more exciting place in the heavyweight division.

[Kirkland Laing]

OOoooh! Two headbutts in round 11! One crafty one and then one full frontal butt with Tony Weeks having a perfect view and as I write he's currently taking a point from Fury. What a shocking display of cheating and bad sportsmanship by the Russian peasant! He's getting exposed and he's too scared to throw a punch but he'll cheat and use his head instead. He's losing and he's showing what he's really made of. I can't wait to watch the last round and see who win this.

[No Contest]

Congrats to Fury and his team. He used his height picked his spots and had Wlad in trouble towards the end. I'm not going to harp on Weeks taking that point but it was a bit much, especially after Wlad did that headbutt charge. Wasn't a dominating performance but I had Fury winning pretty easily with a lot of close rounds. If Wlad had more balls it may have been closer. Wlad is done IMO he needs to ride off into the sunset. Now hopefully the HW division gets some excitement.

[sanatogen]

Didn't think Fury had a chance, which wasn't an unreasonable view to have.

Although last Friday I was impressed by Furys in his head to head discussion with Wlad.
Began to root for him then.

Wlad appeared not to be fighting with full confidence from round 1. Odd behaviour for a long time champion.

The only downside now is that Fury will never shut up.

Props to Ross for flying the Fury flag .

Oh no, you have it all wrong. Now that Wald is out of the way, unless there is a rematch, I see heavyweight boxing taking off like a rocket! There are going to be big fights everywhere we look, I'm not sure we will be able to schedule them all. It's going to be glorious. Happy days are here again. I can't wait for the wheels to start rolling. I can hear it now clickety-clack, clickety-clack, clickety-clack and a big fight at every stop, now that Wlad is out of the way! Hot damn and diggity dog!

[Mr140]

Do not get me wrong Wald was boring there is no way around it but is Fury going to be show stopper i think not really. I mean look at the fight it was boring as shit only this time Wald lost the fight i mean if we are going to give up a champ that consistent then i want a Tyson or a Holyfeild back.
