Can Wlad change his style for Fury?

I think so too. Not only was he up against a bigger opponent, but he couldn't really pull the trigger and looked like he didn't really want to be there. That isn't good when you are already one of the most economical fighters output wise. Fury is a bit mental, but physically he should be able to do the same again against an even older Wlad. Wlad needs a home run and he hasn't had confidence in his chin for well over a decade, so it is hard to see him taking the risks to get it. He isn't in his 20's anymore and would gas out trying to do it even then whence the boring fighter he became.

Wlad wasn't shot in the first fight, he was on his best run of wins

he just came up against someone he couldn't hold

Hard to imagine a guy being shot after being so dominate and taking so little damage over the last few years. Even when he lost his title. If we see a repeat it's just as likely boredom and being too content did him over time. I really wonder if he has shifting gears in him now.

He needs more variety. More right hand leads for example. He needs to try to continue to commit to getting that lead hand around the back of Tysons neck so that he can transition from close to mid-range quicker and safer. He needs to rough Tyson up a bit. Control Tysons head. He needs to feint the jab more (or sell the feint better). It's not a lot really. Just enough to unsettle Tyson in a few instances so that Wladimir has a better chance of landing some of those meaty right hands.
