    Yes - just for the simply fact that he is the only one fighter from what you see and hear from in that is actually going to go in there and fight and 100% believes he will win, non of the fighters in the last 10 years that have fought Klit have believed that!!

    Yes.
    But him getting blasting away in 2 rounds is even more realistic.

    I think you'll find in this fight Fury attempts to maul and hold more than Wlad to survive. He hasn't much chance

    Realistic yes, but he's a huge underdog still. I'd give Fury a 20% chance.

    this has been computed and the results are that Fury has .00000000000000001% chance.

    Yes, he has a chance, but a very slim one. I don't know if I would go so far as to call it a "realistic" chance.

    It's heavyweight boxing, Fury has a chance...what percentage? Anyone's guess...with that said, I do expect Wlad to win by KO/TKO.

    Is Fury extremely confident? Or, is it false bravado?

    Only Fury knows for sure, however I do get the feeling that a lot of the time he doesn't really mean what he says. Could be wrong though . . .

    Sure because he could accidently smash Wlad instead of himself. 5% chance of this happening.

    I'm calling for an Oliver McCall type meltdown by Fury, a 5th round episode of self doubt and fear combined with utter inability to avoid Wlad's stinging jab.
