Klitschko v Fury

[tomd2103]

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. 

[Stu]

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.

[Proposition Joe]

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.

[Proposition Joe]

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.

[Proposition Joe]

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.

[Proposition Joe]

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.

[aj2k77]

Close first round, any close rounds will be scored to Klitschko.

[Proposition Joe]

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.

[aj2k77]

Fury winning in my book 4-2.

[Proposition Joe]

The German commentator say Wlad's behind on points (as fact, rather than in his opinion).

[LeeB]

Klitschko appears to be completely nullified by someone bigger than him.

[aj2k77]

I forsee a split decision Klitschko win. It's so hard to get the decision over there when the rounds are just shaded.

[dave.woodhall]

Klitschko will be at least three rounds up on all the cards now.
