As usual, the thread has gone off on all kinds of tangents, including Fury's character.... something I admit to know nothing about.
So I'll stick to the boxing.

Getting back to the thread topic, I respect my friend's @brocktonblockbust opinion that Wlad would be risking serious injury in a rematch with Fury. I just don't see it. Were I to think of Wlad as the type to take some risk in order to redeem himself in the ring.... I might agree somewhat, and even then I can't see it, given the aforementioned punch outputs by both men.

But I just don't see Wlad that way.
Imagine, if you will, the following exchange between Wlad and his very different brother, Vitali:

Vitali: Hey brother... now that we got the rematch, there's something I've been meaning to say. You know I love you and all.... but you looked like shit out there against Fury. It was downright embarrassing.

Wlad: What do you mean, brother?

Vitali: Well... I hate to bring this up... but you hardly threw any punches. Hell..... I wanted to get in there and beat the hell out of Fury for you.

Wlad: But I was being cautious. Remember Sanders, Purrity, and Brewster?

Vitali: Yes brother.... but that was a long time ago. I thought you had let that go by now.

Wlad: Listen... between you and me.... I'm scared of getting KTFO'ed like that again. It HURTS!

Vitali: I know brother... but you got your championship taken away from you. By a guy who ridiculed you and called you every name in the book. He even came dressed as Batman.

Wlad: Well.... for the rematch, I'll just box him more. I don't know.... I'll do something different.

Vitali: That's NOT ENOUGH, brother!! You have to get mad. Go out there and take back what's yours!!

Wlad: But what if I get hit on the chin and get knocked out again??

Vitali: %$&#$&# brother!!!!!! Never mind. How about I fight Fury?

Wlad: Would you really do that for me?
