Klitschko v Fury off

[easty]

Klitschko pulls out injured. I'm quite disappointed, was looking forward to Fury getting knocked out.

[#FromTheCapital]

Think it's just been postponed?

[Zazu62]

Sky/Hearn will be massively ****ed - If it's moved to late November or December it will screw up the Dec 12th Joshua PPV

[Pretty Boy]

I'm no fan of Fury but I think he'll give a decent account of himself against Klitschko.

I don't see Fury knocking him out and no way is he winning a points decision in Germany but he'll do enough to keep himself in the world title bracket and may well get a shot at Wilder before Joshua does.

Did anyone see the conference thing the other night?

fury was waffling on about meeting klitchko in a sauna or spa or somthing a few years ago and fury won the mental battle by staying in the longest or something. The sheer confusion on Klitchkos face told it all, honestly if the bit heard is what I think was said im suprised no one has picked it up as it was really a bizzare rant about total nonsense.

Fury has lost the plot. He was ranting away the other day about good v evil and giving pretty grim views on homosexuality, abortion and various other bits and pieces.

Klitschko summed it up when he said the same thing happened with David Haye. They try so hard to get under Klitschkos skin and when it doesn't work they end up winding themselves up and losing their own focus.

I actually thought Fury would give a decent account of himself but the closer the fight comes and the more he works himself into a frenzy the more I picture him getting frustrated and picked off, probably being stopped mid to late rounds.

[#FromTheCapital]

Really looking forward to seeing fury get ko'd. But I have to admit I've found him very entertaining during this build up. The first press conference when he said "this klit is getting licked". The batman stunt at the UK presser was hilarious. And I was in stitches watching an interview with him on Sky the other night there. Comparing himself to Rocky when he fights Ivan Drago in the 4th film and the crowd start chanting his name. Apparently the German crowd will start chanting 'Tyson! Tyson! Tyson!' when he KO's Klitschko 😂😂😂 he really has lost the plot.

The boy seems a bit mental.

I saw him getting interviewed and he was giving all his tactics away. Can't remember which Sky guy it was but they were both in the ring and he was saying "when he does this, I'll just do that" - almost as if he thought that Klitchko wouldn't get to see the tape.

[lord bunberry]

Can someone change the thread title, every time I see it I think my plans for next Saturday night are in tatters :greengrin

[Pretty Boy]

I see there's a problem with gloves now.

Klitschko is insisting both fighters wear Paffen Sports gloves, and had it stipulated in the contract, but Fury was unhappy with the ones he was sent to try in training. He requested another pair that he likes but Paffen are now saying they may not be able to get them from their factory in India to Germany in time.

Similar has happened with Klitscko before which is why David Haye insisted he be allowed to wear his preferred Grant gloves when he fought him. Fury normally wear Lonsdale or Cleto Reyes so not sure why he agreed to wear a different brand.

Wouldn't surprise me if he can't read.

Apparently he's quite an intelligent guy. There was someone from one of the newspapers on talk sport last night saying he's interviewed him a couple of times and he's one of the most intelligent boxers he's ever interviewed.

Klitschko or Fury?

Klitschko is pretty well known for his brains. Has a Phd, plays chess, speaks multiple languages, politically active, works for UNESCO etc.

Fury I don't know a lot about but listening to him he's surprisingly eloquent but the substance of what he says is, to put it kindly, very strange.

Theres defintely more than meets the eye with Tyson Fury, Watched a recent interview he done with Kugan Cassius and he came across very well, talked a lot of sense, at least when talking about boxing. He's off his rocker, but certainly no mug when it comes to boxing.

I initially thought he was unhinged but I am now beginning to wonder. 'Hard men' don't have to keep on telling everyone how 'mental' they are.

I wonder if Fury's trying to make himself believe it.

Time will tell!

[Pretty Boy]

Fury weighed in a very trim, by his standards, 17st 8lbs. Klitschko was 17st 7lbs, 4lbs up on his last fight.

That's almost as light as Fury has ever been.

A slight change in odds at Bet 365. Fury drifts to 4/1 from 10/3 and Klitschko moves from 2/9 to 1/5

[Allant1981]

Still not sure about paying for this fight, id like to see it but think it might be a quick and easy win for klitschko

[Zazu62]

Fury has an advantage in size on mobility and he does have an excellent jab, plus the ability to switch hit. So I don’t write him off altogether. However, being realistic, Fury hasn’t got the greatest chin in the world, though he does get up after being hit. But safety first Klitschko can be a truly damaging puncher and he knows how to systematically wear down opponents and rough them up.

As it stands Britain has a new world champion imo.

In Germany with Klitschko in the ring, Fury is a couple of rounds down.

[Ricky Bobby]

Klitschko still in front for me.

He's hardly thrown a punch, a few jabs and that's it. Disapointing performance for me so far.

Steve Bunce has it 4-4 after 8 rounds. David Haye saying you won't beat Klitchko on points in Germany.

[johnbc70]

BBC Boxing reporter had it 4-4 after 8

[Pretty Boy]

Good couple of rounds for the champ, getting the right hand going.

If Klitchsko wins the last 3 he wins the fight.

[Ricky Bobby]

If Klitschko was not the champ and this was in the UK he would need a knock out to win now. Home advantage could count tho

Fury needs a KO. It's close and as such Klitschko will get the decision by 3 or 4 roubds.

[johnbc70]

Fury will need to knock him out or that is it.

Tyson Fury heavyweight champion of the world surely. Even with a point off he's at least 3 ahead

Not a big Fury fan but if Klitschko wins this by 3 or 4 rounds it's all the proof you need the game is bent.

Long ago personally

It's sad to see so many saying that the champ at "home" gets a 2/3 round start.

If Fury doesn't get this the games ****ed

Klitschko controlled it, Fury did better than I thought, but no way did he win that fight.

He is really, he's not properly cut. Look at proper heavyweight boxers in the past. Yeah he's toned up a bit but he's not made of muscle. Look at Lewis, Holyfield, Tyson etc they were built! This guy looks like one of the fighters in the film Snake Eyes!

Klitschko was giving 12/13 years to this guy! As Mickey Goldmill once said "He's got the heart he's just not got the tools no more" (although rocky DID have the tools :-D )

Surely someone with a bit more credibility will come along soon and whip this idiot.

What a great fight last night. Delighted for Tyson Fury, he deserved that win and put on an excellent show. How anyone can dispute that is beyond me, Wlad hardly landed any meaningful punches the whole fight. Going into the fight I didn't give him much of a chance but it was clear after a few rounds that it was his to lose. He talked the talk and walked the walk - respect!

Yes FTC . Also delighted for TF . Made my Saturday night but got a couple of warnings off the wife , for shouting at the tele :) Yes he could have looked a right fanny had he lost but as you say , he done what no other heavyweight had done in 10 years . Also liked the Hibs gum shield ( we were first to wear the green :)

I would agree that Fury winning the fight was a shock, I had Klitschko to win reasonably easily. But after 12 rounds i think the decision was the correct. Again i agree that the points difference was a surprise especially since Fury had a point deduction, but ultimately the person to blame for the result was Klitschko himself. Far too negative, moving forward without really throwing punches. A more confident , positive Klitschko ala the Haye fight, would have won last night.

Klitschko has confirmed that he's going to take up the rematch clause in the contract and they're currently discussing the rematch for next year. Should be a huge event, hopefully at Wembley.

Will watch the rematch with interest, I'm not sure if Klitschko is past it, or if he just simply had the wrong game plan. He'll certainly need to throw more punches if he's to have any hope of taking those titles back.
