Wladimir Klitschko will get smoked in his rematch with big Tyson Fury.
There is nothing more that Vladimir can do that he didn't try to do for those 12 rounds against Tyson Fury the first time they fought. The danger for his health at the age of 40 fighting a young man of 27 is clear. He will try to redeem himself and go for a stunning knockout yet he cannot ever get the distance on the much larger Tyson Fury. Vladimir is not a good fighter moving forward or lunging in. The problem is that is the only way he can land a straight right knockout punch at the right distance. Tyson Fury knows this and he will take a step back out of range and he will throw a massive massive uppercut and decapitate Wladimir Klitschko and knock him cold and possibly injure him in a permanent way.
And I for one would not personally want to see this.
FACT.
