CLASSIC FIGHT NIGHT THREAD:Wilder-Fury II

Its not an argument. It is a fact. And to be honest I'm not even remotely interested in your opinion either way. Far too many fools in the world cry " racist " when they obviously haven't got a fuking clue what racism actually is.

So if someone refers to a " black " fighter are they being racist? How about a " white " fighter, does that count? I said " a certain Jewish promoter " I have seen Zab Judah described as a Jewish fighter. I have also seen threads asking peole to list very good Jewish fighters. Are they disrespectful or racist?

 

Good, that at least shows you have a semblance of common sense, even if it is like pulling teeth to find it.

Now all there is to sort out is the level of mobility he does possess. You obviously think it is above average, and I don't give a toss what you think.:hi:

 

Now, GGG has stated he will move down to 154 catch-weight to fight Floyd, at this weight it becomes a tough fight for both men and marketable $$$

 

Except Floyd has only fought at 154 twice, against fighters that had originally started at 135 and 140.

GGG is huge, he will end up fighting at 175.

I would love Fury to do it.

 

I see some slippage of Vlad in his last 2 fights but still has managed to use his experience. What Fury brings is nothing to lose, size and speed and the ability to switch to southpaw, he can punch well enough and can move pretty good, that being said if Vlad is still at 80 % he should be able to out jab and move around Fury, I think the left hook will be key for Vlad when Fury throws his uppercuts (Fury has power in them) Fury seems to have heart and the ability to fight back when hurt, he may be able to press because he also has stamina....but I think Vlad get the hook in and gets the stop. big step up in adversity for Fury but he is crazy enough to think he is the next Ali....Vlad should stop him or win a Povetkin-Wach like win should be a lot of action in this one

 

very interesting, 2 very intelligent men and how much will Fury's confidence and craziness play in here. We all know what the will of man can do but one punch can change all that....should be a good show and Fury is unique and worthy. Vlad is a class act

 

I've never rated Fury as being much, and I'm not convinced he deserves his high rating, but I've always credited him with being an improving fighter, the kind of fighter who might rise to a big occassion like this one.
He's also fairly adaptable, or multi-dimensional, even if none of those dimensions strike me as being elite-level, he's capable perhaps of boxing a really smart fight. And clumsy as he looks sometimes, he can cover a fair bit of distance with feet and hands.
Definitely a "live underdog" in this one, considering Wlad's age and the fact that (almost) every champion has to lose sometimes.

I expect Wlad to win, all things considered. I wouldn't be surprised if Fury pulls an upset, or puts up a great challenge, but wouldn't be surprised if he gets blown away or pummelled quite easily either.
I'd actually like Fury to win. He's not exactly popular, for some reason, but he seems like a genuine enough bloke. He's a real fan of the sport too, he knows the game inside out.

 

I will be interested to see what fight plan Fury turns up with.

He is not a stupid man by any means, and he might throw Wlad a curveball.

 

I think he needs to box him, but with flurries not just long jabs, and at a fast pace, yet avoiding getting hit much at the same time .... a huge ask of him, based on previous performances.
It also requires that he's faster and better than ever, and that Wlad really has slowed considerably.
