I like Wlad but to be honest I don't mind this defeat. It's fresh air for HW division and it can only enhance Wlad's legacy if he wins the rematch. Had Wlad won everyone would just say that Fury is a "bum" and a "clown", now he got some of his own hype and we'll see an exciting rematch, just what HW boxing needs.
Yes! His era has come to an end. No more boring fights. His tremendous size has kept him alive in this biggest division for over a decade.
An even more boring fighter replacing Wlad somehow makes the division exciting? What is making HW boxing exciting is exciting fighters coming up. Joshua, Wilder, Parker, Ortiz. Personally I would rather see everyone of those fighters against Wlad before I would Fury.
I cried in my beer seeing that mental whacko defeat Wlad. Time is and will continue to be out of joint while the trailer trash gypsy is HW champeen.
Yes, only because there was this hype of him being unbeatable . Hopefully he puts up a better fight and actually tries to engage with some punches.
An example of a fighter getting too old and coming against a younger man who is simply better than him on the night. Wlad has a great chance in the rematch, but its clear he has decline massively physically
Yes, but mostly because I wanted to see some new blood in the HW division (not because I have anything personal against Wlad).
I was glad Vlad lost not because I dislike him he has done very well with limited natural talent .I just got fed up with title fights in Germany the polite crowd the god awful Heavy metal band this coupled with Vlads safety first stile lead to very dull fights.Fury is a lot of things but he is not boring. Perhaps if Vlad wins the rematch he could get angler Merkel break dancing with her T1ts out .That should spice things up a bit.
in a way its nice wlad got exposed for hanging onto his title for so long, but overall no, I did not see a joke like fury, a fringe contender who would barely get a look in during other eras., getting his hands on the world title.
