How does anyone think Fury is going to win this?

I think Wlad is most likely to win the fight.
But some people seem to be ignoring the fact that he is OLD, he didn't look good against Jennings, he simply cannot go on winning forever.

Fury hasn't looked good enough to be the man to end the Wlad run, but he's pretty quick and is capable of boxing a bit, and has improved.
It's possible that he'll rise to the occassion, and defeat a declining Wlad.
Anyone who has been watching boxing for years should know that bigger upsets have occurred.

 

Waldo hasn't hit the canvas since Peter 1

in 2005...

I have a bad feeling fury will mess about for a couple of rounds, feel a few of klitschkos jabs and a right hand and say "no thankyou very much!" and pull out at the end of a round, 3rd or 4th claiming an arm or hand injury.

if fury gets knocked out then there will be absolute chaos in that arena, the pikeys will blow up and take over the place including the ring!
checkout when nevan pajkic drops fury, it nearly kicked off big time.

 

Very, very plausible. Except that I think Fury would go the route of an intentional DQ. That would provide a platform for him to bang on for months about how he was demolishing Klitschko and the how the bought-and-paid-for Tony Weeks saved Klitschko from a masive beating.

And, if there is a DQ there will be pure bedlam!

 

If murderous punchers like Pajkic and Cunningham couldnt stop Fury, how does the featherfisted Klitschko hope to dent that granite jaw?

 

Looking at it logistically, it should be easy work for Wlad. Should. Fury has faster hands but I'd stop the pros for him there. Also, seeing the guys next to each other...doesn't really look like 3 inches difference in height and believe me that is a measurement I am very familiar with...

FTR - got my money on Wlad 6 KO

 

Fury has height on his side and is used to boxing on the back foot, I think he will try to stay at range and counter Wlad's right - wouldn't surprise me if he boxed southpaw. He has to get combinations on the counter off though.

However I don't think he has the power to stop Wlad despite his chin... or is fast enough.

 

Some of the Brits think Fury can "box off the back foot" (which is their slang for running and not engaging) and win a UD.

Wladimir has every skill advantage and only age and height (which is negligible) is in Fury's favor. Look at who Fury has been fighting this is a HUGE step up for him in class. He has been coddled and put in there with light punching opponents. Kinda reminds me of the Holmes vs ****ey fight. A complete pro vs an incomplete pro. Fury lack the savage power ****ey had though which makes things even worse for him.

 

Fury hasn't fought anyone that is as good as Brewster or Peter and that is saying something :rofl

 

Spot-on comparison.

 

I like Fury, if it wasn't Wlad he was fighting I'd be all for him, but he doesn't have the tools needed and he hasn't beaten a prime contender convincingly, Cunningham and Chisora are not prime contenders for me. His only chance is to survive and hope Wlad gasses like he has in two of his three losses but I saw no sign of this vs Jennings.

 

Yeah but Holmes was still in his prime, and C00ney wasn't improving.
Holmes ended up losing his title to Michael Spinks, who had never fought anyone over 175 pounds in his entire career.
That's age for you.

You're right about Fury, he's faced no one, and has been protected.
The possibility remains that he's improving from fight to fight, and at the same time the possibility exists that Wlad is declinig rapidly.
That's where Fury has a chance.

I think it's a slim chance but it exists.

 

I can't see Fury having any chance. For me there's money to be made in this fight if Fury can last the 12 rounds.
