    It's a massive upset because most boxing fans didn't realise just how good tyson fury is.

    I backed fury to win before the fight and said exactly how the fight would go and I was proven right, I wasn't shocked at all because it wasn't an upset me and lepinthehood knew he would win

    However fans with zero boxing knowledge like limerickbox aka stb who put money on wlad to win see it as a big shock mainly becuase of there terrible boxing knowledge and is know paying the price as he can't afford his rent due to his financial losses

    Not as big as Douglas or Rahman. A little bigger than Ali Liston or Bowe Holyfield. Fury was undefeated and had some impressive qualities Wlad hadn't seen before that made an upset plausible, like Ali and Bowe, but Wlad was a more dominant champ than either of those two, although he was also much older.
