The Official Fury vs Johnson & undercards RbR and Discussion Thread

[Tom Cruise]

I really think that Johnson has a great chance in this fight if he comes in shape. I was just watching the Vitali - Johnson fight and in the first couple rounds it he looked ok, good reflexes and movement etc. He also also has fought a higher level of opposition that Fury.

Fury is no where near the boxer Vitali is, and he doesn't have as much patience in attacking which could play into Johnson's hands.

Equally Fury looks in great shape recently so is a slightly unknown quantity in that respect, he could turn into a beast now hes shed the extra pounds. He is also 2-3 inches taller than Vitali, who dwarfed Johnson, which could make it difficult to land decent punches.

Very interesting fight, i can see both struggling to land early on. I can see Fury wearing him down with his extra size, but can also see Johnson confusing Fury with headmovement, defence and taking advantage of a frustrated Fury. excellent to see two heavyweights who have a chance of winning in the ring together. How do people see this going?

Not seeing many give him a chance. I know Furys improved but Johnson is without a doubt better than anything he has ever faced.

Johnson is also in shape for him, Fury was mocking his weight but he looked quite lean at the weigh in, for him anyway. He looked very sharp in training alongside Jeff Mayweather too.

Lets just hope he lets his hands go and puts up a good fight.

Johnson is a pretty good fighter. I haven't really seen him fight recently but pre-Vitali he looked really good at times. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he beats Fury.

I seen him in Prizefighter but I don't think we can take much from that as he isn't a 3 round fighter. Though he looked good in dispatching Moudonne in the first round. He looked really sharp to me in his recent training vids

Tor said that if it wasn't for it being a 3 rounder he would have lost

Johnson's waist is thinner than Fury's, I told y'all he would be in shape! He's still gonna lose but he might put up a decent fight maybe even win unofficially.
