Tyson Fury sings to Wladimir Klitschko

fury441By Scott Gilfoid: Heavyweight Dillian Whyte sees Tyson Fury (24-0, 18 KOs) as having a tough task ahead of him on Saturday night in trying to pull off a big upset of IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (64-3, 53 KOs) in their fight at the ESPRIT Arena in Dusseldorf, Germany.

Whyte feels that Klitschko has more ways of winning, and that Fury will need to really take the fight to him in order to win. Whyte knows full well how good Klitschko is because the two of them share the same trainer in Johnathon Banks, so that he can see how good Klitschko is in his training camps.

Wladimir Klitschko vs. Tyson Fury: Is it a coin toss?

YouTube video

By Gerardo Granados: Age is a definitive factor and there are fighters who age overnight. Tyson Fury is correct when he says that the mind might order but the body won’t obey when you age. There are few exceptions to the rule but just as many fighters punching power is the last thing to go. Talking about boxers I think reflexes erode first and after that legs will turn to wood.

But I don’t expect IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko to age overnight, even though in his last outing against Bryant Jennings he looked more vulnerable than usual.

Fury: Klitschko was wearing women’s perfume!

YouTube video

By Scott Gilfoid: Tyson Fury (24-0, 18 KOs) says he got near enough to IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (64-3, 53 KOs) today to smell that he was wearing women’s perfume at their final press conference in Dusseldorf, Germany. Fury says he has absolutely no fear of Klitschko, because he’s seen a lot of his fights and discovered that he has a ton of flaws in his game that he believes he can take advantage of on Saturday in their fight at the ESPRIT Arena in Dusseldorf, Germany.

Haye sees Fury losing to Klitschko

haye5666By Scott Gilfoid: David Haye is giving unbeaten Brit Tyson Fury (24-0, 18 KOs) next to no chance at beating IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (64-3, 53 KOs) in their fight this Saturday night at the ESPRIT Arena in Dusseldorf, Germany. One of the main reasons why Haye sees the 27-year-old Fury losing the fight is his lack of experience.

Haye notes that the best guy that Fury has fought Dereck Chisora, who he beat twice. Haye doesn’t think that Chisora is the right kind of preparation for a fight against Klitschko, because he’s not a world level heavyweight. Haye reminds people that he easily knocked Chisora out in the 5th round three years ago in 2012.

Lewis: Wladimir needs to win WBC title then retire

wladimir0843By Scott Gilfoid: Britain’s Lennox Lewis believes that IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (64-3, 53 KOs) needs to beat Tyson Fury (24-0, 18 KOs) this Saturday night by bombing out the unbeaten 6’9″ fighter with a big right hand, and then go after the WBC title, which is currently held by Deontay Wilder (35-0, 34 KOs).

Lewis says Wladimir needs to try and win the WBC belt and then retire from the sport before age and injuries catches up to him. To be sure, Wladimir has recently started showing his age in his last two fights against Bryant Jennings and Kubrat Pulev.

Tyson Fury’s trainer says they’ve got a good plan to beat Klitschko

YouTube video

By Scott Gilfoid: Trainer Peter Fury believes that the plan that he’s got for his fighter Tyson Fury (24-0, 18 KOs) will be perfect for him to defeat IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (64-3, 53 KOs) this Saturday night at the ESPRIT Arena in Dusseldorf, Germany.

Peter is pretty confident that the plan will work to defeat Klitschko. It’s unclear what that plan could be though, because the fighting style that have derailed Wladimir in the past is heavy pressure and hard punches from sluggers. Fury isn’t a pressure fighter though, and he’s not a hard puncher.

Froch believes the 6’6” Klitschko will win a hard fought decision. However, Froch says he’d like to see Fury rough Klitschko up and make him earn his win the hard way by making it tough for him the full 12 rounds.
