Still more clinching than punching. Fury’s round. In the sixth round Fury grabs rope without warning from referee Weeks. Fury clowning around putting his hands behind his back. With Roy Jones Jr at ringside it brings back memories of Jones doing it. Fury’s round. In the seventh round Fury attempts to rough Klitschko up before falling into a clinch. For the third time Fury puts his hands behind his head. Klitschko’s corner of Jonathan Banks and Vitali Klitschko are trying to get their fighter to open up. Fury is doing little with wide swings but Klitschko is fighting like his hands are tied. Fury’s round. In the eighth round Klitschko throws a little more than Fury. Klitschko’s round. In the ninth round Klitschko throws a pair of rights with one landing on the jaw of Fury before a clinch. Fury gets warned for rabbit punches for the umpteenth time.

Klitschko’s gotten old in one night. His trainer Banks is yelling at him. Fury’s round. In the eleventh round twice Fury he hits on break without warning. Klitschko’s cut under the right eye. Referee Weeks finally takes a point away from Fury. Even round. In the twelfth and final round Fury who has very little talent seems way ahead against a non-punching Klitschko. Neither looks like a champion. A left hook by Klitschko to the chin of Fury rocks Fury. It was his best punch of the night. Klitschko lands a right to the chin with seconds to go. Klitschko’s round. Judges Ramos 115-112, Caiz 115-112 and Cerdan 116-111 for Fury. DHB had it 115-112 for Fury. “I want to thank my Lord and savior Jesus Christ. This is a dream come true,” said a tearful Fury. Then Fury said as promised he would sing a song to his wife and did. It was Fury out landing 86-52 punches landed that has to be a record for least punches. It’s time for Klitschko’s retirement just 3 months prior to his 40th birthday. Former WBC champ Lennox Lewis was one of the interviewers after the fight and both he and Fury were complimentary to each other. Klitschko was interviewed and spoke in German and for some reason HBO didn’t hire an interpreter.
