CAN FURY REPEAT THE DEFEAT? HBO HAS Fury v Klitschko 2

The first fight was no classic, not in the least. But for that, the sequel is richly anticipated, because fight fans want to know if Tyson Fury’s decision win last year over Wladimir Klitschko was a fluke, the result more so of an off night for the man who held the heavyweight division on lockdown forever than Fury’s proficiency.

They will do it again on Saturday, July 9 from Manchester, England, and word is out that we in the States can watch it live, on HBO (around 5 pm ET).

Most conventional wisdom I take in is saying that Father Times’ greasy talons have locked in too hard to Klitschko for him to better his performance; what say you?

Founder/editor Michael Woods got addicted to boxing in 1990, when Buster Douglas shocked the world with his demolition of the then-impregnable Mike Tyson. The Brooklyn-based journalist has covered the sport since for ESPN The Magazine, ESPN.com, Bad Left Hook and RING. His journalism career started with NY Newsday in 1999. Michael Woods is also an accomplished blow by blow and color man, having done work for Top Rank, DiBella Entertainment, EPIX, and for Facebook Fightnight Live, since 2017.
