The pressure is starting to get to Tyson Fury

By Scott Gilfoid: I think the pressure might be starting to get to #1 WBO Tyson Fury (24-0, 18 KOs). He’s got a little over a month to go before his fight against IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (64-3, 53 KOs) for their fight on November 28th, and he’s now starting to moan about the mind games that Klitschko is playing. I just hope Fury doesn’t really lose it and start blubbering when it really gets bad.

It seems that Fury thinks that Wladimir is trying to get him to lose his head and start going berserk in the run up to the fight so that he can get an edge over him. I mean, it’s not difficult to send Fury overboard, because he loses it so easy. But it looks like Wladimir is already into his mind, and causing him to get all worked up.

“I think it was all mind games and they were just trying to make me go off the rails, get drunk and go wild as I normally do but I didn’t,” Fury said to skysports.com. “I stuck to the game plan and kept my running and sparring up.”

The mind games are getting to Fury, I see. I think Fury is already having kittens over the stress of this fight. I mean, if Fury losses the fight, he’ll miss out on huge cash for a unification fight against the talented WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder.

Fury will also have to start from the bottom and go back to fighting the Martin Rogan’s and Big John McDermott types that he cut his teeth on years ago. Fury’s the type of fighter who goes ballistic for almost anything. Heck, Wladimir’s doesn’t even have to try and get Fury worked up, because he’ll do it all on his own.

I just hope Fury doesn’t start going nuts when Wladimir really pours on the mind games, because it would be sad to see Fury work himself up to the point where he’s fit to be put in a strait jacket with a muzzle and then carted away.

“One thing I’ve got the edge on is I’m training outside a football stadium and we’re fighting at a football stadium in Germany so whatever edge that can give me, all the better for me,” Fury said.

It sounds pretty sad that Fury sees it as an advantage that he’s training outside a football stadium. Does that sound desperate or what? When you’re to the point where you’re calling it an advantage for you that you’re training outside of a football stadium that smells of pure desperation, doesn’t it?

I think Fury is worried, and he should be. He’s over-matched in the power, hand speed, mobility, jab, and experience and talent categories for this fight. The only thing that Fury has in his favor is his youth, which means pretty much nothing because he’s slow and little more than a slapper. Youth only helps if you’ve got hand speed, power and a huge punch volume. Fury has none of those things going for him. Wladimir has the talent, power and the home country advantage in this fight.
