It was one of the worst big title fights I have ever seen, up there with Haye v Valuev. I've seen more aggression in an ashram.gilgamesh wrote: ↑04 Jan 2025, 12:41Fury was often standing there with his arm outstretched on the rope, as wide open as could be, and Wlad was just staring at him. There wasn't anything confusing.apollo creed wrote: ↑04 Jan 2025, 03:33I think Wlad was just gun shy and very confused by Fury's slick-awkward style. Also Wlad could not impose his size against a more bigger man like Fury. Fury is a very bad style for up-right, stiff fighters like K brothers, AJ, etc.
I'll never see that fight as some sort of great performance by Fury. It was 2 guys fighting like they were afraid to lose rather than 2 guys fighting to win. It was one of the worst fights I've ever seen.
That win is great for Fury on paper. It's a lot less impressive if you see it.
I think the only Heavyweight title fight I've watched that was worse was Chris Byrd vs Davarryl Williamson.jamesmcdonnell wrote: ↑08 Jan 2025, 16:45It was one of the worst big title fights I have ever seen, up there with Haye v Valuev.
