    Wlad has been very classy in defeat, I must say.

    I don't think anyone could argue against Klitschko still being the best current heavyweight that Fury could fight next.

    It will be interesting to see whether Wlad can train himself to ignore his instinct and actually take a risk by letting his hands go. He is an intelligent guy and he will be carefully studying how he actually got outboxed for the first time in his career .....

    Wlad can nof fight aggressively it is against everything he instinctively does. If it is in Germany he could win just by being more aggressive for more rounds.

    If he fights at Wembley wlad will lose convincingly but on points.

    Both do not have the power to stop one another.

    If Wlad wants to earn some respect back from the public, he'd better actually show some offense this time around. Even Wlad fans grudgingly admit that his effort against Fury was pathetic, but only those of us who've criticized Wlad since the beginning know that it was just the culmination of something that was going to rear its ugly head sooner or later... as soon as someone as big as Wlad and representing a real danger got in front of Wlad in the ring.

    If I were to bet, I'd say Wlad has too much muscle memory ingrained in him, and he won't be able to let his hands go sufficiently to bother Fury. Fury will probably invoke the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" playbook.... and the rematch will be a rerun of the original.

    I hope Fury KTFO's him, however.

    I can see wlad trying to be aggressive and getting hit and hurt like he did in the 11th round and just ride it out to lose on points to take the money to retire.

    Oh, Wladimir is physically capable of KO'ing Fury, but...


    As someone already mentioned earlier, and I agree, Tyson has the advantage mentally.
    In fact, I think Tyson was able to get into Wladimir's head and that contributed to Wlad's loss. But there is more. Now the two have tested each other for 12 rounds and gotten a feel of how the other fights. I think it is going to be hard for either man to introduce anything new into a second fight. I see the second fight very likely ending in a similar fasion to the first. Also Wladimir is aging and we cannot deny that. Wladimir is old in boxing years eventhough he is still fit. I think he may not be as quick on the draw anymore, and Tyson himself has said as much. Tyson still has a lot of mileage on him yet. By the time the 2nd fight rolls around, Wladimir will be no fresher and certainly no more confident than the first time.


    Barring a lucky hard right hand from Wladimir, we will see the same dance we just saw.

    Fury did to wlad, what wlad had done over the 10 years outboxing the smaller man behind the jab. It was hugely satisfying wlad getting his own medicine.

    i guess now, we'll just wait for the announcement that he'll hire freddy roach for the rematch.
    They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

    Although I found the fight to be a snoozefest, Fury fought the perfect fight to beat Wlad. It was interesting to see Wlad lose in such an anticlimactic fight as he has brought us so many anticlimactic fights I was very anti Wlad after the Prod fight but I warmed up to him again. He knew how to win and did it for a very long time. Definitely a historical figure in boxing and you gotta love that jab. If Wlad can go balls to the wall in a rematch, hell yeah. I'm all for a rematch, it has to be more exciting than this one 🐷. But congrats to the Fury fans, good for mother england, I'm glad the HW champ is out of the former USSR. I think this is a great thing for the HW division. Glad to hear Wlad calling for a rematch. No matter what I think of him the guy is an amazing athlete and a great boxer
