Tyson Fury vs. Wladimir Klitschko

His head was all over the place following Dell's late call off and he was totally unprepared for a dangerous opponent.

 

That is exactly what is going on here atsch

 

Despite the clownish behavior Fury is quite an intelligent switched on guy and he gave an interview a couple of months ago stating that Klits team[Vitali,Banks] dont fancy the fight.Fury's size,youth,reach,handspeed,combinations and switch hitting are a problem for Wlad who's style despite his power revolves around the straight one two with the hook sometimes thrown in.

Compared to when he faced Haye he was more tentative and reluctant to release the straight right hand and adjusted his step back so he didnt stay in the pocket too long for haye to counter.

You don't stay heavyweight champ for over 10 years by not being able to adapt to your opponents.

Fury can switch stances at will, which is great achievement for a man of his build, but he has done it more out of style rather than through necessity.

Anything can happen in boxing, but to stay fury stands a good chance of winning due to being better able to adapt is delusional.


I actually think Wlad is not so complicated as you seem to give him credit for.
If you think Fury switches stance for mere style...well.... that's sort of taking away credit for no actual reason at all. Who cares about his motivation for it? It's a tactical advantage and Wlad doesn't have it. It's a bonus if you can fight from range and in close at high level...Fury has shown he can do this, Wlad simply fires well measured 1-2s, left hooks and a serves up a huge dose of hugging. He's the best in the land at doing it no doubt. Footwork is still quite fast but in straight lines.

In short, Wlad is far more one dimensional as a fighter IMO. Nothing 'delusional' about it.

I think this is all about Tyson Fury, if he turns up in good nick and motivated and there are no delays, it's his to lose rather than Wlad's to win.

Ball bagging of the highest order here but I just had to get back on this forum and chuck this back in the face of the collective doubters.
Same $hit goes for those claiming AJ beats T.Fury. AJ would get badly, badly out-boxed by the vastly superior technician and bigger man.
