Fury

Re: Fury

Oddly I watched this on a usa channel which had fury iust winning most rounds
Their commentary throughout was saying it's way closer than it should be but after the last round had him just scraping through

Scorecards came in and nigh on confirmed what they'd said would happen. Only when visiting Facebook 15 minutes later did I start reading boxing is fixed comments everywhere. Guess the commentary throughout on TNT sports might not have been as laidback

Re: Fury

I couldn't understand why Fury didn't try and box him as he had a much longer range.
He was naiive and played right into the other fellas hands.

Although it didn't mean a lot in terms of belts and titles it did Fury no favours whatsoever and probably given Usyk even more confidence of beating Fury when (if) they get it on.

If I was Fury's team I'd pull him out of the pre-Christmas scheduled fight (if they haven't already done so) and get Fury fit for spring next year.

The fight wont happen in December. Fury got a cut so that'll be the reason they'll use. It's 8 weeks, not long enough. I reckon March or April. There's no way Fury took this seriously, he was slow, constantly missing with his hooks, and was very wary after the knockdown. He looked shot, and he was blowing out of his arse. Credit to Ngannou though, he looked decent, good footwork, which is always a massive problem for people who come over to boxing from another discipline, and he wasn't buying Fury's feints. Fury needs to sort himself out, I still believe he can beat usyk, but he needs to live better if he is to have any chance. He's been pissing about for too long, and i reckon that the knockdowns by wilder have aged him as a fighter.

He looked so out of shape, I thought his old man looked better at the weigh-in!

Yes credit to Ngannou, he was decent and took the loss well. FW should look after him.

Yup, went up to 30 stone, depression, anxiety, drinking, drugs, eating shit. It's going to catch up with him, it catches up with all of us, imagine being an elite sportsman! That 3rd Wilder fight took a lot out of him i think, it was brutal.

Re: Fury

Do people pay money to watch fat frauds like fury ?

I don't get the adulation of boxers like him , he's taking the piss

Lightweight and Middlewight boxing is entertaining but all this showbiz nonsense is pathetic

I am surprised there isn't mass suicide all over the country waiting for all the daft adverts to end so they can get stuck in

Is Don King still alive ?

Him , Frank Warren etc complete low life's

Just reminded myself just how brutal that it was.
Helluva fight, two great warriors.

You could be right about how much that took out of him, I hope he's just out of shape.
Otherwise he should hang 'em up.
