Ugh. I hate it when people talk about Fury 'schooling' Wlad. It does a proper disservice to occasions when fighters have genuinely schooled someone. Floyd did it to Canelo. Calzaghe did it to Lacy. Hopkins did it to Pavlik. Fury beat Wlad by landing seven punches to his opponents five in what was one of the worst adverts for the sport in its history. It was a close, crap spectacle.
it's a different type of schooling. When you have a 10 year undefeated ATG heavyweight completely baffled and confused about what to do, I'd say that's a schooling.
Largely, yes. Although I actually quite liked watching a lot of his fight with Hammer. I can do boring if it's at least technically good.
It wasn't close at all. Nobody had Wlad near a draw, never mind a win. Fury got a UD in Germany. That says it all.
Tyson won by three rounds on two cards and had one point deducted, meaning they thought Wlad won at least a third of the fight. Tyson on average landed less than three punches more than Wlad per round. He won, and he deserved to win. I don't see why some people need to pretend that it was some sort of outrageous masterclass in the sense of him barely losing a minute.
Exactly. Just like I said, the judges in Germany had him winning the fight clearly. Meaning he won the fight even clearer than that. He was comfortable and controlling from minute one til the final bell. Waladimir's face was busted up, Fury looked like he'd went for a stroll in the park. We're talking about an ATG here in Wladimir Klitschko. A man with 50 knockouts. Unbeaten in thirteen years. Never outpointed. Putting down Fury's performance in Germany is a lot more peculiar than bigging it up.
The boxing equivalent of Jose Mourinho who achieved two 0-0 draws at Anfield in consecutive seasons by playing boring football and stinking the place out. PPV mugths rightly expected a great entertaining fight as Fury stated himself it would be and he would be knocking Wlad out. They planned a stinker, delivered a stinker and got the result just like Jose wanted. That is why people are happy when Fury, Haye and Bellew types lose - they specialise in conning PPV mugths using the pre rehearsed acting to direct them to the Order PPV Button.
We're not going to agree on this, but the majority who've voted think he's boring, and you seem to be exactly the type I'm talking about who can't bear to think of it being an effective, dull performance.
It's 53% mate, calm down. Hardly cut and dry. It's divisive, like everything Fury does. Speaking of "types", Fury could fly to the moon and back on a bycicle and certain people wouldn't give him credit. You've a new account, which appears very matchroom orientated. That's the "type" I'm wary of. What was your previous account? I'll give any fighter or promoter credit, whether I like them or not. I'm a boxing fan. I've never said it was an exciting performance by Fury. My opinion is that it wasn't boring. His footwork and head movement were elite. It was captivating to see him do to Wladimir Klitschko what nobody else has, before or after. You've completely discredited it, exposing your agenda. But whatever.
I've not discredited it at all. He won, he won fairly, I've said he was effective and deserved it. I just don't think it's this miraculous masterclass you evidently do. As said, I remember watching the likes of Mayweather and Hopkins put on proper schoolings. I didn't get that at all with Fury. I was just bored.
This is a breakdown of the Klitschko v Fury fight which explains why Tyson Fury is a more efficient boxer than Anthony Joshua. Matchroom fanboys take note. This content is protected
Great video. You either get it or you don't. The "Joshua faced a better version of Wlad" gets me every time. It's hilarious!
He isn't especially exciting, no, but in fights where he goes in as an underdog or near it for whatever entity, it does allow intrigue. From McDermott, Chisora one, Cunningham, Haye (of course never happened, and same with Ustinov), to Wlad and now Wilder, for varying reasons there have always been elements of surprise or the unknown about matchups.
Fury has become a far better boxer while being inactive in the general publics minds...It is a classic has of absence makes the heart grow fonder... He has had a lot of poor fights,out of shape,versus small heavyweights.... Then beat Vlad and chucked it End of....
