Dale The Ram Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 So its been confirmed that Tyson Fury has a shot at the WBA, IBF and WBO Belts but Wladmir Klitschko is standing in his way.http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/general/boxing/tyson-fury-to-fight-wba-ibf-and-wbo-heavyweight-champion-wladimir-klitschko-10370157.htmlIn my opinion Fury needs to hit the gym and hit it hard if he stands any chance.I can see this being a classic boxing lesson taught by Dr.Steelhammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will go the distance, Klitschko to win on points.Definitely, I love Wladmir as he is one of the greats and in my generation, Fury is a good fighter but his attitude lets him down.Klitschko is no mug and I doubt he will be troubled unless Fury and his team get it perfect.Im sure Klitschko will employ the jab and grab tactic. Terrible for non-boxing fans but its a great show of intelligence and patience to go the distance and win on points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmuss88 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Will be interesting to see what tactic fury goes with, I don't think he gets the credit he deserves; excellent footwork for such a big man, and being able to switch stance effectively mid fight. I don't like his personality, he's an idiot but you have give him credit.Yeah I can imagine it's going to be closer to a chess match than a brawl.

Tombo Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 As much as I dislike Fury, I'm hoping he shocks us all and beats him. Got to support my countryman haven't I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Klitschko will make easy work of this. He's the perfect professional and will do a number on Fury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmuss88 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 This is the one who beat Haye, younger of the brothers. Vitali is now the mayor of Kiev. Both good boxers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale The Ram Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Is this the better Klitschko?As said by @jmuss88 Vitali is a politician now.Wladmir is the better fighter but they seem really nice guys. Intelligent as well, they both have PhD'sAs much as I dislike Fury, I'm hoping he shocks us all and beats him. Got to support my countryman haven't I?I want Klitschko to win as I admire him as a boxer and a person but if Fury wins I will be ecstatic for British boxing.Would love the loser (or winner) to fight Joshua as he will no doubt be champion soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be there in time. In all honesty they'll wait until Wladimir retires to set him up in a title match. There will be a huge gaping hole left when Klitschko is gone and Joshua will become a star when that day comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaftesbury Street Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Klitschko has been looking sloppy as hell recently. Definitely in his boxing twilight years and Fury is just "Meh". Fury will smother and spoil. Klitschko will use his experience but will be completely uninspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All leading up to that fight with Wilder.He'll get Tony Thompson or David Price for his next "big" fight. Plenty of bums in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think it is too soon, he is 2nd seed for the WBC and 3rd seed for the WBO. He deserves a shot with Wilder and if he wins that I think he will be favourite to shut up shot.He is 25 which is reasonably young, if he looks after himself like Klitschko (which I think he was studying when he trained with him) then he could be a force. Problem is the golden ages have gone in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of bums in between.Hes got Mariusz Wach first in September. 35 wins, only one loss - to Wladimir Klitschko. He took Klitschko to 12 rounds in 2012 and gave him a serious challenge. I suspect this one will not be straightforward for Joshua but then we always seem to say that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
