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.
