Wlad takes rematch option.

[LGilsenan]

So Wlad has taken the rematch option I've just read on sky sports. I actually predicted before the fight Fury would win, and I do believe he wins the rematch. How does everyone else see this going?

[Ilya Muromets]

I predict Wlad wins the rematch handily - if he can fight aggressively, something like the old original Wlad, or at least halfway between that and what he did this time. Fury doesn't have a single killer punch to worry about, like Corrie Sanders did.

fury, tko10

credits to wlad for taking a fight he
is the underdog in. i think there is a
word that describes how he felt in
there: desperate. he didn't find fury
with a single meaningful punch. yet
his face showed this was not mutual.

there is no shame in getting older.
wlad will have a controversial legacy,
but he will have one. nobody will be
able to forget that he had one of the
longest reigns in hw history. he will
have a good life after boxing.

Vlad couldnt find his range, couldnt pull the trigger. He still has a big advantage in power but seems to have met his match style wise. Fury should be better and more confident next time out, dont be surprised to see fury stop an aging vlad.

i think wlad's chin is not as glassy as
one might think.

here is what i would do as his trainer
right now. i would tell him every single
day: "tyson fury will knock you out."

no perfect camp, no yoga, no mental
coach, no positive thinking. just this
one phrase: "he will knock you out."
and while saying that i would look him
straight in the eye.

he should give no interview, say no
word in the presser and i would tell
him every day: "he will knock you out".

I think Wlad wins rematch now he will take it more seriously and hire tall guys for sparing and quit all that damn holding when he should be counter punching he is faster than Fury so use lateral movement head movement and walk him down and man lets not forget body work left hook to body if he goes to the body in the early rounds he might open his head up for some good strait rights, break his will then his big ass

Fury will be better, and have more confidence, in a rematch. All he has to do is keep it tidy, commit to countering with hard shots, and he'll win easy again. Probably finish him.

[Boxing Writer]

Wlad's handspeed, accuracy and timing are gone. He is well past his prime. And Fury is much better than people think even now after this win. I think for Wlad it would be better to fight Fury in Manchester, where might try to impress his hometown fans trying to KO Wlad and gets caught. If Fury uses the same tactics he did last Saturday, he will beat Wald easily in my opinion, unless Wlad dramatically changes his style, which I don't see happening.

Well, this is what I was hoping against. Was hoping that Wlad would finally move on now and let some excitement for heavyweight boxing exist for the first time in 8 years or whatever it's been. Wlad is going to beat Fury in the rematch, no question about it. And the worst part is that I don't think that Fury even minds it. Fury strikes me as a guy with little interest in defending the belts. He just wanted to win it and be able to forever call himself the champion of the world. I hope that I'm incorrect per usual but that's the initial feelings that I get from this guy. I'm not blown away by his ability inside the ring, let's be serious.
