    Wladimir / Fury
    How much of what went on before the fight altered what happened in the fight?
    In your opinion.



    Things like...

    Fury wasnt happy with the gloves and I think he got those changed.
    Fury wasnt happy with the ring canvas and said the fight would be off if the situation wasnt sorted (rightfully in my opinion), to get the foam removed
    Fury seemingly full of belief before and during
    Fury showing no fear of Wlad
    Furys mind games about the sauna story

    Do you think any of this had an effect on Wladimir?


    For the record I picked Fury on points as shown in my prediction thread before the ring problems came to light, but it was not for the reasons I mentioned here which are a bit more of an after thought

    nothing, Wlad just seemed to not have the fire in him anymore, he didn't do anything to win, Fury took full advantage of this and became the new HW champion

    I think fury genuinely spoked wlad, people taught fury's confidence was just him being nervous and scared hut he wasn't, people taught the Furys were insane when they said it would be an easy fight and they were right

    Nothing Klitty could of done to beat Fury.

    Once his octopus technique was taken away, he was a sitting duck. Been saying this for years, Fury is the truth and should be p4p number 1. People mocked me and didn't want to hear it, reality has come into fruition though.

    I dont think that was the case.
    Wlad doesnt seem to throw the right hand unless he can land the double jab first. Fury being a mover prevented Wlad from setting himself and was bigger than other opponents who could be lent on.
    Consider the current top 10 and how many Wlad has beaten and consider also that in 6 fights Wlad had leading up to fury that 5 of them were undefeated HWs

    Fury mentioned a story about he was in a sauna with Wlad at the same time when he was a novice pro, but that he out lasted Wlad in the sauna and that he was prepared to stay in there for as long as it took to beat Wlad

    A lot.

    Fury is great at the psychological warfare and got into Wlad's head. On top of that, Fury's skills in the ring bamboozled the robotic Wladimir: "does - not - compute; does - not - compute; errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr."

    I think Fury has got to other fighters with his unnerving self belief

    It's a very strong weapon for Mr.Fury — a great intangible.
