    When Klitschko gets whacked on the chin all those memories of his KO losses will come flooding back and it's Goodnight Vienna.

    fury has great stamina. thompsons stamina is average, it was good for a fighter of his advanced years.

    Front page article is crazy "Odds favor Fury". That's ridiculous.

    Of course it isn't pure glass, but the reaction was for the so called glass jawed yanks Wlad beat. Fury's chin definitely isn't sturdy, if you take Pajkic, Cunningham and Firtha into account, wich non are known big punchers and hurt Fury multiple times.
    So compared to those "glass jawed yanks" Fury doesn't bode well.
    I think he lasts a couple of rounds with Wlad though, but I can't see him make it the distance if he actually tries to win it.

    We all agree Wlad is the favorite. Question is how certain, what are fair odds. I think 4/1 is underestimating Fury a bit in light of Wlad's average showing against Jennings. What odds would make your fingers twitch. If someone offered you 30/1 for Fury certainly that would be good odds.. even if you're sure Wlad wins. This is HW boxing, anything can happen.

    Wlad at 1/4 is fantastic odds. I'm a fan of Fury and I love his madcap ways but he's not beating Wlad, never in a million years.

    Put £500 on and you get £625 back, not amazing but not a bad return for an hour's 'work'.

    Sure one of the bookies is doing treble odds for new account holders, so if they're still doing it then you can get a profit of £375.

    If anything, I'm thinking 4:1 might be too generous.

    Sorry, even at 30/1, I'd still bet on Wlad.

    Fury's getting outboxed and hugged all night. A clean right hand that knocks him sparks out won't surprise me.

    Yeah Fonfara was around 4/1 against JCC jr.
    People think because Wlad didn't KO Jennings he's there for the picking :blood :nono

    Wach was 6 foot 8 inches tall, Fury is supposed to be 6 feet 9 inches tall, Vlad has an easy time with Wach how has an iron chin, hits harder than Fury and who tested positive for steroids after the fight. Vlad won every round.......................Julius Long was 7 feet tall, yet he was knocked out many times, Tye Fields knocked out many times, etc., Vlad fights tall fighters better than shorter ones...............
