I'm starting to think that he has some serious mental issues.
At first, I thought it was just showmanship. But now, he could be full on crazy...

He did catch himself pretty clean with that uppercut a page or so ago.

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

I'm not a huge fury fan(never been a huge fan of heavyweights in general) but he kinda is what the heavyweight division needs, his antics and craziness keep stuff interesting. It's always good to have an over the top character like that. Hell with Fury,wilder, jennings, and joshua, the heavyweight division doesn't look too bad(at least not as bad as it's been)

He's just not a very good fighter imo. Kitchko got old in front of our eyes and needs to retire. This fight was hard to watch, and if you've seen Fury before this fight, he's not exactly an exciting fighter - I doubt he holds the belt for long.

I don't think one crisp combination was thrown the entire fight, let alone landed.

Fury adds some flavor, I just doubt he stays around very long. As I said before Jennings VS Ortiz is the fight to watch (Dec 19th)

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

Klitschko has exercised his rematch clause. So we get one more boring fight between these two.

This Saturday on ShowTime Daniel Jacobs vs Peter Quillin, with the latter a very small favorite.

Klitschko has exercised his rematch clause. So we get one more boring fight between these two.

Not a popular opinion amongst US boxing fans; I am interested on how Klitschko will bounce back and the following:

*will he bring in another trainer to bounce ideas off Jonathan Banks who was giving great corner advice.

*can he at age 39 fight more aggressively and possibly attack the body when needed.

*after his loss to Lamont Brewster he adjusted and went undefeated for 11 years with a record of 22-0. In the process he had a less fan friendly style, but it was very effective a la Mayweather.

Tyson Fury

*how will he handle the new found fame.

*will he stick to the same plan or possibly fight more aggressive.

The first fight though lacking action still had drama. I was on the edge, because I thought at any moment Klitschko was gonna land the punch that would hurt and lead to a stoppage of Fury. Then by the championship rounds I was on the edge my seat and wondering whether or not Fury was mentally strong enough to finish strong.

Then finally the drama of whether or not the judges scored it correctly for the visiting fighter.

I never thought that Klitschko was going to land that big punch-until the last round he didn't even try. For me the fight was drama-less. Fury had achieved his goal of neutralizing Klitcschko and the outcome was inevitable at before the midpoint of the fight. At least that's the way I saw it. As for the scoring, Wlad was so horrendous, so lacking of effort and offense, that I couldn't imagine any judge giving him the fight.

He seem intimidated by Fury's size and power....yeah power wise Fury isn't known as a battering ram but I'm not sure the Big Ukrainian saw it that way.

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

Wow, Jacobs didn't waste any time.

[N51_rob]

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

Yep, great start/finish to the fight. Heard that some people were upset with the stoppage. Looking at the replays you could see into Quillin's eyes that he was out on his feet. If the ref let that go, there was gonna be some serious damage done. Happy for Jacobs, him having beaten cancer and all makes this a great story.

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

excellent stoppage by the ref. Jacobs would have landed more bombs that Quillin didn't need to take
