Tyson Fury: 'A bit of brains' helps Briton gatecrash big-time

It was the morning after the night before and http://www.authentictwinsshop.com/authentic-28-bert-blyleven-jersey... Tyson Fury still couldn't quite believe it. He wasn't the only one.

Twelve rounds with the most feared heavyweight champion of the last decade and all Fury had to show for it was a blister on his big toe. A bad blister, granted, but Wladimir Klitschko was supposed to have taken his head off.

Fury might make as much as £4m for dethroning Klitschko on a surreal night in Dusseldorf. But forget about private jets. Once the car was loaded up with bling - the WBA, IBF and WBO belts - Fury and family rumbled off to Rotterdam and caught a ferry to Hull, before arriving in Manchester late Monday morning.

"I don't feel any different than I did David Wright Womens Jersey before the fight," said the 27-year-old, his faithful three-piece suit offset by white sports socks in flip-flops. "I always said that winning the heavyweight championship of the world, earning some money and being in the limelight wouldn't change me - unfortunately for the fans."
The crowning of Fury will be seen by many as yet more evidence of how low the heavyweight division has fallen. Often uncouth, often outrageous, often embarrassing, Fury does not possess the grace they like to see in a champion.

But Fury is a complicated individual. Job done and another song sung, Fury was suddenly subdued and full of respect for Klitschko. And to have any chance of understanding Fury, his occasional outbursts and missteps must first be separated from his deeds in the ring before the puzzle is put back together again.

It was a dour and often messy fight at the Esprit Arena and a lot of punters who shelled out 17 quid to watch it on TV will no doubt disagree with those ringside journalists who eulogised Fury's performance. But bumping off a champion who had not lost for 11 years in his own backyard was a very special feat.

And Fury made it look simple. Making full Robin Yount Authentic Jersey use of his superior reach and demonstrating excellent mobility and head movement, the challenger was a conundrum that Klitschko never even came close to solving.

"People said nobody could breach his defences but a bit of brains is all it took," said Fury. Fury the madman, Fury the clown, Fury the deluded, all three of them and more reduced the scientific Klitschko - a future hall of fame fighter with 23 successful world title defences to his name - to a spluttering, stuttering wreck.

Klitschko never throws a lot of punches http://www.officialathleticsshop.com/authentic-43-dennis-eckersley-... but his punch statistics against Fury made for very grim reading: 52 landed, and only 18 of them power punches, over 36 minutes of boxing. Fury landed with more shots in 11 of the 12 rounds.
