    I'm very fired-up to see Fury return. He's still the man who ended Wlad's reign of dominance, and he did so in one-sided fashion.

    Unfortunately, I won't get to see the fight until the next day, but I'm still very interested in seeing his return.

    Wasn't really that one sided I feel, on scorecards, sure, it was a near shutout. However, the rounds themselves were razor close with virtually one punch to separate the two. He managed to completely nullify Wlad, but he wasn't doing much either.

    Why change the plan part way through the fight, Furys gameplan was winning him the fight, many a boxer has been winning with care, then got over confident and got ko'd, eg Billy Conn when he was only just over 2 rounds from defeating Joe Louis.

    I never saw anyone make Wlad look so hesitant and confused. Wlad always liked to set himself, and have a certain degree of confidence before unloading. Confidence that he has a strong chance of connecting, or confidence that a missed punch will leave him in a favorable position.

    Fury was in complete command of the tempo, and he was dictating the range like no one else has ever done against Wlad. It's true that Fury may not have been doing a whole lot (offensively), but he didn't need to, because as you said, he completely neutralized Wlad's normally efficient and methodical offense.

    I get what you're saying, but in my eyes, it was about as one-sided as it gets given the type of things Wlad normally succeeds in doing. Wlad was so confused and befuddled that he was never even able to put forth a spirited effort - something he was able to do against Joshua.
