This happens all the time in boxing. Nothing new. The people I see complaining are the people who don't like Klitschko. Pretty sure if a fighter they liked lost here they wouldn't be saying a thing... Regardless. When an upset like this happens a rematch will almost always take place immediately.
The same people saying Wlad doesn't deserve a rematch are the ones that would be crying for one if Fury had lost.
Deserves got nothing to do with it. He's got a legal contract, saying he will get the rematch. Bi*ch all you want.
Recurring theme. They want one when their guy loses, and write off any need for one when they win. Look at the mileage Lennox gets off of his rematch wins while he never granted any to his toughest fights.
Honestly it was a very close fight. Both men looked terrible. Just Wladimir only threw flick-jabs. Credit to Fury, he won legit. But to say it was a master performance or anything along those lines is pretty strange. It was the least epic passing of the HW torch since Schmeling won it on a DQ.
Very true. Didn't feel like "out with the old king, here's is the new king" at all. Just was a strange fight, and not taking anything away from Fury here.
I can't wait for the rematch which Wlad deserves. I think his calf injury hadn't completely healed and it negatively affected his mobility and ironically like David Haye, he couldn't push off that injured leg properly. A completely healed Wlad will be more mobile and aggressive. I think he will go for the kill and fight like he fought Mercer before Steward made him a cautious boxer. There is no way a calf injury heals in a months time on a 40 year old athlete. A 20 year old pup would be lucky to heal up in that time.
Yup....say one of those L hooks landed flush in the 12th and Fury went down and got up and Wlad unloaded and Weeks stopped it....... If Wlad turned down a rematch, the boxing world would explode moreso than when Lewis ducked the Vitali rematch.atsch That said, props to Fury for not falling for any traps, and for throwing more feigns than Ive ever seen in my life. Had Wlad defending against punches that never came. Worst HW title fight Ive ever seen including 5, maybe 6 of Ruiz's.:yep:yep:yep:dead:dead
Of course. 10 years undefeated with 19 title defenses or something like that? Definitely deserves the rematch
