He outboxed him, jabbing and moving his way to a comfortable UD. He had a much easier time than AJ, and was never close to defeat like Josh was.
It's different styles tho isn't it. Fury is never going to pull an uppercut that almost takes someone's head off just the same as AJ isn't going to get on his toes and outbox a good boxer.
At the end of the round that AJ got put down in everyone including me thought Klitschko was going to win. So now, like I said earlier nobody can go and say he hasn't overcome a gut check because he did against a tough opponent in a tough style fight.
I agree with the guys who said earlier this was the best heavyweight fight they have seen in a long time. I can't think of another at this level that I've enjoyed watching more.
It's not just styles. An aggressive fighter like AJ can still win comfortably without gassing and getting dropped, and that's actually what I expected him to do.
No doubt it was a great fight, and AJ again showed that he can come back from being tired and hurt to win, but Fury definitely handled Wlad better.
Not sure AJ will have to fight that hard for a while though. Fury is gone, already beat Wlad and would expect him to do so more convincingly in a rematch, Ortiz old and looking like shit, Parker too small and easy to hit....
I expect AJ to reign for a while to come
