    Are you denying that some hard punchers don't go for the KO all the time? People without the right backing have to be quite considerate with how much of a threat they appear to be to potential rivals. Lots of guys also just prefer to box safely to a decision.

    Fury looks a bit nervous. Uysk looks more calm.

    Can't believe he tried to deny the Sauna was a competition when he was the self proclaimed "sauna king". Gave fury all his ammo.

    Opetai has been a nice puncher his last couple fights. I would like to see him score a big KO here

    That was a surprisingly statesman like response to the Fury question from Wlad. Gave Fury props and admitted he was the better man on the night, but with some hedging that the rematch never came. BUT accepted he had his chance the first fight, and he lost. :clap:

    Wlad is "still in shape."

    At 47, are there any top ten guys he would still be favoured over ?

    Fury stole his soul and still has it hidden at a secret campsite
