Fury vs Wlad was an example of Styles make Fights

Like Marciano vs Louis....

 

Wlad has only become robotic with age. Young Wlad was nothing like what you see now. He was extremely fluid, fast, mixed it up, would counterpunch, fight on the inside with devastating short punches. He had great movement at the waist, bending and dodging, ect... Do yourself and favor and watch a younger version of Wlad. The difference may surprise you....

To be honest, I also feel like Wlad is doing too much in the weight room now. He also fought smoother, and less rigid when he wasn't quite so muscular. He's always been built, but he seems like he sacrificed fluidity for strength. That might work against some fighters, but against a man his size, he'd be much better off if he were a bit more loose. He used to be much more relaxed, and now he seems extremely tense/tight. His punches have become much more push than snap.

 

No doubt, the old Wlad can never come back. However, I do think there are things that he could do to better himself as he currently stands.

Of course, I still think that he should retire. He doesn't have anything to prove... unless to himself.

 

he has like 3 punches, jab, hook, right hand. fury has more

 

Plus Fury has that goofy style which is hard to work out..

 

true:smoke

hes like vitali. totally unorthodox

 

So, he has a great right and left hand? Did you want him throw kicks as well?

 

Wlad pre-Brewster would have probably decisioned if not knocked out Tyson Fury. Fury is a slapper and doesn't really have formidable punching power.

Post Brewster Wlad however became to conservative and any version of that Wlad would have gotten out worked and outhustled by Fury.

Wlad is pretty much still the fight today that decisioned David Haye. Fury did not beat on a diminished version of the Wlad we've seen from the Brewster fight to the present.

 

Lots of slapping type punches. A good solid Heavyweight like Wilder is going to take him apart imo.

 

if he had a full ****nal, he would have beat fury. fury totally outsmarted him:smoke

 

But Fury isn't a bum so there is no way we will find out. Name a non bum Wilder has fought.

Maybe if Fury gets a job as a cab driver they may fight...

 

Not even half as fast as he was against Haye, clear video evidence.
