Wladimir Klitschko v Tyson Fury

[GLCQuantum]

Anywhere to watch it in Hua Hin?

It's on in the early hours this Sunday. Will be rooting for Klitschko as Fury is a complete tool.

I believe it`s called selling the event, I read an interview with Fury who said his behaviour was just an act. I remember when Mohammed Ali was Cassius Clay, his boasting and playacting made him one of the most hated sportsman in the world, then look what happened. Support the Brit, I say.

Just watched an interview with Fury and he was asked for a prediction he said "I'm gonna make him look stupid before I knock him out". We shall see!

^^ Seriously, Ali in the same breath as that muppet? If he thinks his in the same league as Ali in skill or showmanship..... he's very much mistaken. Nowhere near on either count.

That said, I would hope for a good fight - but have grave doubts. Klitschko must be overwhelming favorite(?).

Can't see me being able to get on Cricfree as obviously it's a Pay-per-View (and will no doubt be blocked)... and can hardly go down the local pub as I'm working in Saudi at the moment

Anyway, for those who get to see it - enjoy...... if only for a short while.

Fury and his brother are just gypsy brawlers in my book.

Fury wins! Feels unusual not seeing a Klitschko name as champion, it's been decades it seems. Rematch for sure coming and probably not a long time from now. Pete

EDIT: It was live on True 667

Buddy just got back from the pub there was now greatness in that fight at all. All the hype and two big heavy weights hugging for most of the rounds. Exactly what i expected.
Fury with his Roseraie catholic beads and a song at the end was so predictable.
poor fight in my opinion.

^ Congrats to Fury on the win, but he's still a muppet in my book - some of the showboating was simply pathetic..... it got to the point I truly wanted Klitschko to put him on his ample backside.

At the end of the day, he deserved the win, Klitschko just wasn't there. Absolutely dire fight - they seemed to want to have a little hug every few seconds. Quite pi$$ed off afterwards that I'd actually found a link to watch it and missed out on a couple of hours kip..... having to be up again a few hours later for work

Thankfully I'd turned off before the "Rosary Beads and Singalong"...

Will be interesting to see what the next match-up is.

I just say congrats to Fury, don't think he is a muppet at all, just a showman that talked the talk and walked the walk.
Congrats.

Congrats.

Nah... he's a wannabe showman who tries to talk the talk and walk the walk, but fails miserably. But I think he surprised everyone by being the better boxer on the night. As for the hitting the back of head malarkey, if you keep turning your back on someone during a fight, that's inevitable.
Fury nearly lost the fight trying to pull his shorts up...
