I honestly think Wlad can win the rematch

Hit the guy with punches this time, Wlad! :-(

 

@Remembering CS.

You're really going with that? As if that wasn't the major issue in the first fight that Wlad wasn't doing anything until the very last round.
It does make a huge difference to let your hands go, and taking some risks instead of just being in the ring.
Wlad pulled a Kingpin johnson, and he paid for it. We know he can actually fight and we know this was way below his usual level.

 

Anything is possible and I'd love to agree with you, but I simply can't see it happening. Fury's height, reach, movement and defense will yet again frustrate Wladimir into submission. Being overly aggressive will only prove to be disastrous for Wladimir if he attempts it.

 

Easier said than done when Fury is fully prepared to counter and has the height and reach advantage to keep Wladimir off balance whenever he plans to throw a power punch.

 

Do we? When has he ever shown he could fight? In the fight against Peter , he ran and held on for his life.
He fell apart instantly when he was forced to fight Brewster.
Sanders fought him and it was done in the second round.

This is another example of imagining a version of Wlad that never existed and its why you cannot understand why he lost.

Maybe if Fury turns up in the rematch and throws away foot work and just stands there - then Wlad will most certainly throw punches.
Wlad was never a good boxer on the move against moving targets.
He isn't the massive puncher unless he's planted and his opponent is either standing still or walking onto him.
Neither of which Fury did in the first fight , or will do in the rematch.

This is why Haye went 12 rounds without ever being in the slightest bit of trouble. Wlad wanted that Knockout bad , but refused point black is engage in the fight required to get it.

Fury is all wrong for a safe outside boxer like Wlad. This rematch will be called off.
Wlad isn't going out on the back of two losses for a pay day.

Fury was training on Christmas Day. He's training now and there's not even a date scheduled. He's only going to be better. The hope he returns over weight and out of shape is a pipe dream.

 

You really watched the fight? And still think it was Wlad refusing to punch, instead of Tyson beating him to the punch, moving in a out of reach, feinting, evading shots with head and torso movement, and even easily blocking them? (absolutely impressive, Wlad used to toss around boxers using one arm, Tyson blocked his wildest hooks with the forearm and made it look easy)


Well, even in the case you didn't watch the fight or didn't/wasn't able to understand what was going on, that's still not an usable excuse, since Wlad himself admitted in post fight interviews that Tyson was constantly messing with his range and too unpredictable.

Straight from the horse's mouth, there you have it. But i guess that's still not enough to admit Tyson defused Wlad. :conf

 

no. wlad made themistake of fighting someone with some decent (but limited) skills this time, but also someone with size advantages. At least he had it in Germany first time.

Hes making the same mistake again.

That's not to say hes cr.ap, hes fairly good within his narrow skill set - just he always kept the ring, the opponent and circumstances on his side previously. He started to fail doing this with Jennings and Fury.

Perhaps he began to believe in his own mythology - when your self appraisal cracks then the hole that appears cant easily be fixed.

 

Still no excuse for not letting them go until the 12th round.

 

two words
out boxed

 

He is going to have to throw punches to win. If Fury throws the pathetic amount he did in the first fight Wlad can win easily.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl

Fury only landed 7.1 punches a round. That is miserable and not "beating him to the punch" that is I am going to try and fight like David Haye did and not throw anything meaningful hoping I don't get KOed. It worked only because Wlad stood there like a statue.

 

You just equated Furys skills to mayweather and rigondeaux?

YOU LOSE, GOOD DAY SIR!

 

Great article.

 

not really, if he did, he would likely have got koed.

wlad has learned to try and gas out his opponent first if they can punch hard enough, then when they are helpless close in for the kill.
But this time he picked someone who gasses AFTER he gasses.
