Fury is a better fighter than Wlad is, but nowhere close in terms of mental fortitude.

    Of course he's going to admit he had a bad night. Lol

    That was just an example.. I never said he was injured. There's many factors that could have contributed to him having a bad night, family issues, needed to take a ****, who knows.. I still think Wlad would have beat him in the rematch.

    It was an atrocious fight and that is putting it nicely. Was it really 'out boxing' someone when you land 6 punches a round and they land 4? It wasn't like this was Calzaghe vs Lacy. It was two guys scared to throw punches in one of the worst Heavyweight fights I have seen that didn't involve John Ruiz.

    Watching that fight again, it appeared that Wladimir thought he "might" still get the nod from the judges. Sure, it would've been a very bad decision, but it never truly set in on Wlad that he'd lost until Fury started singing in the ring.

    That fight was a bit on the bland side due to low total punch output, but it was a 10-2 type of encounter (with Fury winning). The rematch would've been a lot more interesting, but it's too bad we'll never see it.
