Who do you guys think will win the big Klitschko v Fury fight?
-
Klitchsko will walk it.
-
Fury has been trying to play mind games in the build up ,(IMHO) almost to the point where he doesn't think he will win the fight.I think and hope Klitschko will win.I would rather see Joshua take on the mantle of British Heavy Weight Champion of the World every time.
-
Did you see the footage of him doing the singing in the ring thing, apparently its not the firwst time hes done it but its weird right? Certainly not scaring anyone!
-
Fury brings a bit of colour to the heavyweight division.He has a chance and could cause a big surprise if Klitschko doesn't take him seriously. I hope it doesn't finish too early.
-

i can see this fight going either one way or the other ,,,,klitschko will probably win it but tyson might and i hope he does
if he doesnt there is always the rematch ,,,,,,even a fight against david hayes ,,,,,,,,if he doesnt bottle it again

Yeah me too, or a draw. Yep, it'll either be Klitschko, Fury or a draw. I think I might have a bet on all three. ;)

Indecisive Dave: "Klitschko in three."
"Yeah but Klitschko's getting on a bit"
"Yeah, right, err, Fury on points"
"What? Klitschko has too much power he'll knock Fury out"
"Yeah, you're right, Klitscko in six"
"But that Fury can take a punch"
"Yeah, no, err, Fury in......oh I don't know fuck it, a draw, or a win for one of them or..."
-
Fury should be hateable, but I can't help finding myself enjoying watching him. A combination of supreme confidence, arrogance, bullshit and stupidity.
I think Klitschko will win it and, as it'll be on his terms, it won't be that entertaining.
-
Has there been an entertaining World Heavyweight Championship fight in the last ten years?
-
Klitschko reminds me of Nasser Hussain on steroids
-
I'm hoping Tyson wins it but obviously Klitschko's awful to watch style is very effective. Tyson won't be a walkover, he's quick for a big lad and can bang a bit.
Come on Tyson smash him up.
-
might stay in the sacred heart for this ,,,,,i wonder what time the actual fight will be ,,,,,,,,they say it starts at 7
-

Supposed to be around 10pm

cheers chico ,,,,i'll be off my trolley by then
-
A Fury win would be just the big shake up the division needs, but I just can't see it. Klitschko to stop him and I think it could be early.
-
Fury needs to get inside and do some good work there. The thing for Klitschko is that he can't use his arms to rest on Fury to wear him out like he did with previous, smaller, challengers because of Fury's size (particularly Haye who called this out and Klitschko was deducted points in their fight because of it), so it is imperitive that Fury stays close to avoid Klitchko's piston-like jab. If Fury can't keep his head and comes out swinging from the start then I reckon Klitschko in 6 rounds, TKO.
I can't see anything other than a Klitschko win really.
-
Fury will certainly be tougher than any of Klitschko's opponents for the last few years - especially given his height. But it's dangerous to fall into the trap of thinking Klitschko's opponents are bums, he'll be shown up if fights someone even half decent etc. He's better than he looks if that makes any sense talking about a champion who's held the belt for god knows how long.
BTW I really like the look of Joshua - skills and power. A real prospect.
-
Rod Stewart's wailing is hurting my ears.
-
Since when has Fury been such a bible basher?
I saw him fight a few years ago and back then he was all about being an Irish traveller, came out with the Irish flag etc.

He's always been religious.
-
I never heard him express openly as this before.
Anyway, his allround craziness this time round makes me fear something like an Oliver McCall incident is on the cards - total breakdown.
-
Fury's spending so much nervous energy on nonsense, he'll be in trouble after about round 5 or 6 if it gets that far.
-
Close first round, any close rounds will be scored to Klitschko.
-
It's interesting. Klitschko's two main weapons are jab, and grab-hold-lean. Well, the leaning doesn't work so well when your opponent is as big as Fury, and when he also has a longer reach, your jab needs to be better than Wlad's has been so far.
-
Fury winning in my book 4-2.
-
The German commentator say Wlad's behind on points (as fact, rather than in his opinion).
-
Klitschko appears to be completely nullified by someone bigger than him.
-
I forsee a split decision Klitschko win. It's so hard to get the decision over there when the rounds are just shaded.
-
Klitschko will be at least three rounds up on all the cards now.
-
If Fury is going to take the belt he needs to clearly win the last 2 rounds I reckon.
-
The Germans are saying Wlad needs a knockout. But then again, the commentator also said Emmanuel Steward was giving him advice in his corner (perhaps proving Fury's claim about witchcraft).

They also said John L. Sullivan was British.
-
He's actually gona win this
-
That decison was, er, German.
-
Dodgy points deductions coming now. This is going to be controversial isn't it.
-
If I was really cynical, I'd say they'll score it a draw, Wlad keeps his belt, Fury his pride and we get a rematch.
-
Can't let the Home based German lose oh no.
-
115-113 Fury for me.
-
Fury by 2 but the judges will give it the other way by 4.

Plus the deduction.
-
Well fuck me sideways.
-
He got it, and for me no arguments at all. He deserved that.
-
Wow. Just fucking wow.
-
What a great day for boxing.Well done Tyson my son.
-
Well well well not what I expected on the cards at all. Didn't think the boy would do it, Klitschko without all the leaning and man handling looked garbage.
-
One judge gave it by 5 no? 6 if you add the deduction. In Germany too!
-
Have to say I'm shocked by that decision even though Fury had much the better of the fight.
-
Well done Mr Fury!!!
-
Well done Tyson, deservedly as well.
-
Some surprise that.
-
Thought Fury won the fight, but was surprised by the scorecards seeing as the fight was in Germany.
-
Gives the water bottle to Lennox Lewis - 'ere 'old that. Lennox Lewis, man. Bit more respect please!
-
Quick lose 6 points for the singing.
-
Wow. Just fucking wow.
Also - I know *fuck all* about boxing.
-
The Oliver McCall breakdown happens after he's won at least.
-
Hope Joshua gets a crack at him now .Really thought Klitschko would walk it, but he was very poor.
-
Age caught up with Klitchko and spending years being able to dominate due to height/size advantage.Having to fight someone bigger caught him out as Fury's reach advantage meant he could use jab to dominate fight.
That said last round he wobbled Fury he needed to do that earlier.
-
Hope Joshua gets a crack at him now .Really thought Klitschko would walk it, but he was very poor.
Joshua is 18 months away at least.
-
Yeah Joshua isn't ready. Klitschko will have a rematch clause written in I imagine.

He has but he won't.
-
You reckon he won't want to fight again?
-
This stat from the Graun says it all:
The fight stats tell you a lot:
Landed: Klitschko: 52 Fury: 86
Power blows: Klitschko: 18 Fury: 48
Thrown: Klitschko: 69 Fury: 202
-

Yep I don't think he wanted this one.

I think we will be hearing a lot more from David Haye over the coming months.

Well after saying Fury was a 20/1 chance for tonight's fight I look forward to his next pile of shite.
-
Klitschko seemed to age about 10yrs after the eighth round. I knew he had lost after the cameras caught Vitali shaking his head.
-
All that stuff about Fury losing it - the best mindgames since prime Ali. I get the feeling that everything he says (except the religious stuff - he may well be a devout Christian and good luck to him if he is) is with his tongue in his cheek.

Agree that he was able to get inside Wlad's head - constantly reminding him that he couldn't have it all his own way before the fight; making him wrap his hands again, kicking off about the padding under the ring - all this must have had an effect on K's nature of control.
Fury can says what he likes about jebus and whatever, if he finds strength in the religious stuff then fair play to him. It was the homosexuality = paedophile stuff that made me think Fury was losing it, because that is the talk of a nutcase.
-
Well it wasn't particularity entertaining was it? Why did Klitchko not throw any punches? Looking at him it was hard to see how he has dominated for so long!

more money to be had with a rematch

As others have said both him and his brother have used a tactic of 'resting' on their opponent jabbing well to stop them getting close (and then throwing the big punches when the other guy gets tired). That doesn't work on a guy who's fitter, taller and has a longer reach. On top of that I'm not convinced that Klitschko was 'right'; I don't know if he didn't take Fury seriously, was a bit under the weather, Fury got in his head or he is just too old for it (he's 39 after all) but he just seem as prepared or focused as he normally is.

Tyson Fury is a grade A thundercunt and makes Nigel Pearson look like an intelligent, endearing liberal.

Surely he's one of the greatest homophobic heavyweight champs of all time?

I love tyson fury

Maybe a bit of all that, but due to his size Fury was also able negate his main weapon - the jab. Once that was gone, we saw there was little else. I see the rematch clause has been activated and Wembley has been mentioned. Can't see it selling out Wembley to be honest. Etihad might be a more realistic venue.

I mentioned his jab and mentioned that Fury negated it, I've put them in bold. I think it was a combination of a bunch of things but I also think that Klitschko is focusing on 1-2 of the extra bits at the end of my post as the problem which is why they've called the rematch so quickly. Cynics will say it's all about the big payday but I'm not so sure, I think he really wants to retire at the top like his brother and this is the only chance for that to happen.

I love tyson fury
He won't love you back the big homophobic twat.

It's alright though, he doesn't need to be clever. Let him believe what he wants to believe (God help he expresses his homophobic outdated views on here though).
