I must say, I do love the way the topics here digress tangentally (or should I say tangenitally?) - it never ceases to amaze me where some of them end up. From Fury v Klitschko to blue whale cock is surely one of the most surreal.

The times Wlad has lost, aside from Sanders, has been a stamina issue, I agree, that Fury's best, perhaps only chance, is to fight at a high enough pace, to pressure Wlad, but to do that, he has to avoid getting caught.
If Wlad catches him with a right cross, it will be game over, no way will Fury be able to stand up to Wlad's power punches. In close, he will need to watch out for the short left hook, which is actually Wlad's power shot, he doesn't uncork it often, but when he does, it's a fight ender.
The problem is that Wlad learnt how to pace himself a long, long time ago. He's more proven at the 12-round distance than Fury.

I had to lose a bit, kept getting friction burns on my bell end from it scraping along the pavement. The only alternative was to roll it up like a boerwurst, but then it wouldn't fit in my pants.

Fury should not have bottled when an in shape Ustinov stood up to him. I know he had 'family issues' but 24 hours previously he'd been castigating Chisora for a no-show. He could have done with the experience of a big guy with a jab. Cynically he realised if he got beat he'd lose his rankings. I don't believe he's the fighting man he claims he is. I'd be happy if he beat Wlad but he won't. Early doors KO.

was being a bit cynical Stone , it's a real shame tbh because this fight could do big numbers on mainstream tv if it was plugged enough , like you say tho will never happen , don't the mainstream German broadcasters show any of the bigger fights ? i'm sure they used to back in the day

If I am not mistaken I am sure the fight is free to air in Germany. Disappoints me PPV for this fight Wlad is a different league plus it would be mega over here on terrestrial as it is the World Heavyweight Championship.

Interesting that its free to air in Germany they are obviously behind the curve when it comes to exploiting people in the UK they are first class.

I'm surprised that Eurosport weren't in the running, considering their recent history of showing Klitschko fights.

Yeah, as far as I'm aware they don't have PPV in Germany at all. It'll obviously be PPV over here (yet another incentive to cancel Sky, for anyone who still needs a reason!), but at least it being free to air in Germany means streams will be very easy to find.

Sounds like he has been done over invested in getting Fury mandatory for the fight on his channel then its not happening.
