Klitschko, Fury, Parker, Takam & Joshua
-
How on earth did one of the judges get 116 to 111? Was a very close fight, but imho Fury didn't do enough to win it.

<p>Fury has a very weird way of boxing, I suspect that put Klitschko off, hard to box when the opponent is all over the place.</p>
<p>Edit: looks like he will take up the rematch option.</p> -

<p>Yes, Fury also switched between orthodox and southpaw.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I didn't even realise the match was live on SS2 this morning. By all accounts it was a borefest - Fury averaged 7 punches landed per round, Klitschko averaged a little under 4.5 punches landed per round.</p>

<p>It would be good to see a unification fight with Wilder but boxers tend to avoid eachother.</p> -

<p>And the boxing fraternity wonder why this MMA lark is becoming more popular. Whatever happened to stand and deliver?</p> -

somehow just doesnt seem quite right for a heavyweight boxing champion</p></blockquote>
He's also banging Hayden Panettiere. -
Didn't see that coming. Also think Fury will be a flash in the pan, can't really see him becoming hanging on to his belts for long. Oh and what's the betting that David Haye suddenly comes out of retirement. <br><br>
Personally hope Joshua proves to be the real deal - seems like a nice humble kid. Tyson can be funny but he does spout some shit, including his anti-gay stuff. Like a lot of "characters" he seems a bit of a cock. -
<p>Considering Fury's defensive MO is leading with his head I don't see a long career at the top, myself.</p>

<p>Kevin Barry's comments on the news last night were interesting. He said that Klitschko's loss was good for the heavyweight division and Parker. He expects Fury to give up 2 of his belts. The reason for that would be to avoid having to fight mandatory challengers.</p> -
<p>I wish I had not watched that. Incredibly boring. Boxing is dumb.</p>
<p>MMA is way better.</p> -
<p>I so wanted to see Fury lose just because he acts like such a dickhead . If a Kiwi acted like such a toss pot then not even his home fans would like him .</p>

<p>He's a good singer. Would definitely get past the group stages of American Idol.</p>

<p>He's English - I wouldn't put money on him getting past the group stages of any tournament. </p> -

<p>you reckon? I don't watch a lot of boxing but klitschko didn't appear to punch him at all until the last round.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>guess i can understand why people thought it was boring I thought it was interesting to watch purely from the point of view that Fury, despite coming across as a total spazz, came up with a gameplan that totally screwed klitschko.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>and how fast was he? sheesh for a tall unco looking rooster he was very quick.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>thought for someone who came across as a giant twat he was very gracious in victory.. loved all the showmanship of it - well cept all that jesus bollocks</p> -
<p>Such a beautiful moment :mocking:</p>
