Re: Haaaahaaaaahaaaa fuckng haaaa!! Now bow down!!
Hats off to you, you were just about the only knowledgeable guy to pick Fury and to stick with that prediction. Do you feel like one of the only three writers who picked Clay over Liston?
I must admit that I never saw this coming. I never thought Fury would outbox a former Olympic champion and actually get a decision in Germany. Clearly, I know fuck all about boxing.
Fury was excellent, his feinting tied Wlad in knots and he dominated the fight. Big big points win, I thought the judges had it closer than it really was.
Either Wlad got old overnight, or this fight told us a few things;
- Wlad consistently said "I will do what I always do", and it was very clear that he had no Plan B. That's very disappointing for an elite fighter. Once he couldn't establish a jab, and once he found out he couldn't lean all over Fury, he had absolutely nothing.
- Wlad was reduced to stalking and looking for the big punch. He looked like a bumbling amateur. He didn't get any punches off, didn't cut down the ring and didn't try to bully Fury.
- I don't think great champions get totally dominated and lose titles in such a dispirited way. I can't think of any of the greats who got so dominated when they eventually lost
- let's see what happens in the rematch though!
Credit to Fury, good boxing skills and EXCELLENT fitness (something else I was wrong about). Confident and mentally intimidated Klit in there. Good chin and real old school feinting. I bet he wishes he had a bigger punch though
Fair play to you Ross
