Carts all of us were wrong, it wasn't a master class and I'd love to know why vlad never threw the right, but take nothing away from tyson if you want to understand what's needed to knock an aging king of the division out of your way that's the fight to watch, totally unfazed by the opportunity and stuck to his plan

He may have had an injury, more likely he just couldn't see a stationary target and wasn't sure whether or not to take a chance. So he didn't. And lost. I'm so impressed with Fury's movement all night he did what he had to do and good on him
Fury just confused him Imo his hand movement was so enthralling but totally un orthodox and I have never seen anything like it,
By the end I was cheering my head off for the man
I thought that fight was messy but fascinating. Fury boxed like he was one of those inflatable giant things you see outside used car garages. It was like he trained entirely with a blindfold on. And it worked. Wlad looked confused. Like he didn't want to risk getting hit. He's never been a Froch in that sense, he's not as willing to take a hit to land two. Something definitely odd about Klitschko but it might've just been confusion.
It's opened the door for some really interesting fights over the next couple of years. Haye for world champion after all?
I think Joshua destroys Fury and beats Wilder within the next 2 years to unify the division
this .. but in the meantime it was a terrific achievement by Fury (with a name like his how could he fail) to go to Germany and totally dominate the local hero .. and fair play to the judges who did the right thing and didn't go for a 'homer' decision
I watched on a moody stream the American coverage. I don't really know boxing, but they talked of two types of punches, jabs, and I presume actual hits. They also talked about Vladimir never going for body shots, and him not really realising the urgency of the situation in the latter rounds. They talked about Tysons game plan which I took to be like grinding out an away draw, with more shots on target than the opposition to get a decision. They totted up jabs and hits for each round, and throughout the contest they had Fury in the lead on stats and with their expert scorer guy. As I said I don't know about boxing, but I fully expected Fury to be announced as winner even taking into account the point deduction for persistent rabbit punching.
Wanted him to get knocked out before the fight, by round 8 I was cheering every blow he landed! Had him up by 1 round but thought ze Germans would have had Vlad by a few. Well deserved!

don't like his antics but he fully deserved that.

It's astonishing really when you think how many steps tyson took tonight to reach that level of performance its such an amazing achievement
Firstly Congratulations Tyson Fury. Thoroughly deserved, he did everything I thought he couldn't do.
Secondly congratulations Tyson Fury, what do I know
Everything about the build up to that fight screamed of him thinking he was going to lose and bigging up the fight for PPV.
Well done, Tyson Fury. A great night for British boxing.
Fury is apparently only 27 years old - must have had a hard life then?
Pundits around the world, hang your boots up in shame!
