Judging standards in boxing need to change, Fury horrible

People need to realize that styles make fights.
The fact that both fighters hardly threw anything and hardly landed anything substantial is not something that "judging standards" could solve, it is just a result of how their styles matched up.
Perhaps in the rematch they can adjust and produce a cleaner and better fight, or maybe not.

 

Sure, a boxer can go about it in whatever way they wish, but they need to produce the work, regardless of style.

, and with that, Fury knew he was probably doing enough and the onus was on Wladimir to force the fight more, even as the champion, and for some reason or other he just couldn't do it. His mechanical style relies on him forcing his own tempo, and he could not compute the new challenges that Fury threw his way with the consistent frenetic feinting. I highly doubt Vitali or Lewis would have been so stunned into inactivity, and would have found ways to force the fight on Fury.

 

Wlad's lack of activity in the early rounds made this a clear cut victory for fury. I didn't see anything in that fight that led me to believe that it was close/competitive in any way.

It wasn't a tour de force performance by fury whatsoever but he did more than enough to win that fight. Wladimirs shocking lack of activity made this a one sided fight for the most part.

 

I read it.
You're saying the rounds should be called even, then you them even. Judges have every right to call the rounds even.

Did you have Mayweather winning the Pacquiao fight ?

 

As I said before, the thread should be renamed "Lets change boxing rules because Wladmir lost".

 

You either have no idea how to score a fight or you're just a very butthurt klit****. It was Wlad that stunk the joint out, refusing to engage for fear of getting knocked out.

If you can't appreciate the boxing masterclass Fury put on last night you should quit watching the sport.

 

:roflatsch

Schooling the p4p#2 and HW champion unbeaten in over a decade isn't a tour de force performance?

 

That wasn't a boxing masterclass. Fury didn't engage much either. It was more like a Fencing competition than a Boxing match. You have to actually commit to your punches in a Boxing masterclass and even the most delusional person wouldn't say Fury was doing that. He was content to throw few punches and get a Decision and it worked.

 

Agree with this. However, one then has to ask why was Wlad so inactive?

Some are saying it was fear/cowardice, an opinion I don't subscribe to. Others might suggest age being the factor. But, I rather think it was a combination of Wlad's limitations and Fury's movement, which led to that display.

Fury took Wlad's main weapon away - the jab. And, Wlad's lack of ability to fight on the inside was an absolutely clear exposé, given that it became very apparent, early on, that this was an area in which he might make a difference in the fight. His usual hug 'n' lean routine was not working on Fury.

The fight confirmed what some have suggested, for some time now. Wlad is quite limited in his armoury, relying very much on the Jab to set up anything (and taking his time to launch assaults off the jab, at the best of times, anyway). All very well against a static or come-forward target. He is also unable to do anything else but wrestle at close quarters, which was wasted on a bigger man.
