#1 The Last Monster Standing
In the clip above, you can the superb psychology of Gorilla Monsoon and Muhammad Ali in their brief encounter. Ali began to coax Monsoon into a boxing match, and at the same time, one could also see Monsoon leading Ali into putting his guard down. The clashing styles made this encounter intriguing, as both men were respecting the other's game. Hopefully, WWE will take a page out of this book for the Fury vs Strowman clash.
Strowman is a powerhouse and a professional competitor, someone who is known to flip an ambulance, a semi-truck and has also produced other moments of brilliance with his strength. Tyson Fury may be an undefeated boxing champion, but Strowman has been an asset to the company and will most likely be protected.
Many people feel WWE holds MMA competitors in higher regard than its own roster. We’ve seen Brock Lesnar earn special treatment due to his recognition as a former UFC Champion, while Ronda Rousey was able to step into the revered Women’s division and dominate from the get-go. Certainly, it is not a good look for the weekly product to have outsiders dominate the WWE roster.
Fans will be hoping for a competitive, back-and-forth match between the two behemoths. The injury Strowman inflicted upon Fury could come in to play, which could give Strowman an early advantage in the match.
However, if WWE goes the route of the Classic Big Man battle, we could be in line for a hard-fought match with several near standing ten counts. While the injury could prevent Fury from getting on his feet before the ten count at the closing stages of the fight, this is the most likely scenario for the fans to enjoy the match and for Strowman to walk away with the victory.
