Fury/Pianeta was the perfect fight for Fury...

I don't think some of u realise quite how low down the pecking order pianeta is. He got stopped by safetypin Johnson and is 138 in the world. He's miles behind even Chisora and hammer. Who cares? he was big enough and good enough to let Fury work on things and gave him 10 rounds.... The **** were you expecting? Fury's last 5 fights have been booed... total mismatches in boxing terms..... this is another to add to his collection.

Fury purposely went the distance to get those rounds under his belt. He never even needed to get into 2nd gear. Fury has cleverly set up the Wilder fight and everything is going nicely according to his plan. You are blessed with intelligence....

Are you really 16 years old? It's not a criticism btw, just curious. Bi curious ?

He's been 16 for about 5 years. I think he's a paedo tbh. He also had his life ruined by Joseph Parker being exposed. Maybe one of those pedo vigilantes, I better log off lol.

‘The ring craft to tee off’ !? Cmon Pianeta was able to put one two’s together and hooks as well, Wilder only has to land one and its light out. On the other hand I don’t believe Fists of Fluff has any power whatsoever, I don’t see him stopping Wilder and I don’t see Fury avoiding the right hand all night, Deontay for all his detractors has razor sharp reflexes and fast hands too. He can bang and Fury has a susceptibility to guys who actually throw punches a la Cunningham and Pajkic, you can’t judge him against guys like Chisora, Hammer and the semi retired Klitschko who threw less than anyone Fury fought.

Tyson is a lot more hittable than he used to be. He also has some weird psychotic tic where he keeps rubbing his eyebrow with his glove, also moves his head in fast circles but the circles are so small he'd still be caught by a punch. Looks more like he's bopping to music than trying to avoid a punch. He's lost it. He was one of the best in the World when he beat Wlad, but just like the other Tyson, we'll never know how good he really could have been.

All fair points, but Wilder does not posses the ring craft to get into positions to tee off on Fury IMO. Wilder is predictable, and I think Fury can outsmart him with his jab and staying away from Wilders right hand. Wilders only chance is a hail mary or swarm attack, it might work but Fury is a smart operator against predictable guys. ‘The ring craft to tee off’ !?

I watched it, a fight never broke out! He sparred a calm and passive guy. He has NO power just as before and he looked knock kneed to me, never saw that in a boxer. He looks more like a Jimmy Young than a real fighter. I don't think much about Wilder but when Wilder feels some heat he starts fighting when Fury feels some heat he starts running. Because nothing else remotely interesting is happening this BS fight becomes an interesting event. Maybe Fury fights but I think he'll run. Ray

I'll be honest - Fury fans are worried that the Pianeta fight wasn't a case of him cruising, but rather, a case of not being able to hurt a guy.

Pianeta found Fury repeatedly, Wilder is sharper, fitter and lighter on his feet and the heaviest puncher in the division hell the sport for that matter.

Aye.. But if he can see the shots coming (unlike the right hand steve dropped him with) and absorb most of the power with a tight high guard I can see fury getting inside wilders power range he could really bang him up on the inside Wilder needs full extension on his shots to unleash that power. I can really see a scenario in which Fury changes from trying to box on the outisde to walking him down and try to bang him out on the inside. But aye you're absolutely correct Fury is one of the few guys in boxing who can read and react and adapt on the fly.. Some boxers can follow a gameplan marvelously but when it fails they can't just nake adjustments on the fly.. Fury is a marvellous talent, his boxing IQ is second to none. Remember though, Wilder also has a very underrated jab (it wasn't used in the Ortiz fight much because of the southpaw issue, but he dominated Stiverne with it.) and the first Ortiz KD (the one that was ruled as a slip) was actually from a lightning quick right hand at short distance as Ortiz was coming in. The ref didn't see it, hell none of us saw it until someone posted a slow motion gif on here the next day. anyways, I guess what my rambling ass is TRYING to say, both guys are extremely underrated on here for certain things that they are good at, and I think this is a very interesting match up.

I think scoring a big early knockout would have been a good hype builder for the Wilder fight, but wouldn't have been as valuable for Fury in terms of practice, and I think he knew it. He followed a gameplan that was clearly more about looking sharp and doing rounds than landing big punches and he followed it to a tee while still testing out a few different facets of his game - fighting orthodox and southpaw, slipping and blocking Pianeta's offense, and even some inside fighting - and nevertheless he didn't really get out of second gear. And who knows, maybe him going the distance with Pianeta might cause Wilder to underestimate him a bit. You don’t think Fury tried to get him out of there from the opening bell ? I thought it was evident he was trying to get him out in one to show he could actually stop Wilder, as the rounds progressed Fury appeared to realise he knew he hadn’t the power to stop him and he’d elect to try look flashy instead, pretty difficult when you look in the shape he looked, I watched the fight after it finished whilst my woman was messing about on her phone and she said ‘why is he so fat, isn’t he supposed to be professional’ I kinda laughed and said he’s lost nearly 60-70 lbs she looked at me like I was lying !

If the Fury that fought Klit fights the Wilder that fought Ortiz... Fury by shut out, he would get tagged a few times but ultimately have Wilder hitting fresh air for most of the fight. He'd give windmills a boxing lesson TBH. Pianeta found Fury repeatedly, Wilder is sharper, fitter and lighter on his feet and the heaviest puncher in the division hell the sport for that matter.

Fury looked like he wanted Pianeta our immediately here’s a guy stopped in one by an obese Chagaev over three years ago and outworked by Kevin Johnson. In the seventh Fury looked lost for ideas and it appears Hatton told him to use his trick vs Tszyu, hit him low he’ll gas. I’m not sure what positives to draw, it’s evident Fury hasn’t the power to stop Wilder and we know Wilder could lose 11 rounds and stop Fury at any time which is what I expect happens. They’ll be able to sell Wilder as lineal against Joshua after this fight I wouldn’t agree on current lineage though like TBRB have Fury listed no.10 I’m of the same opinion he’s definitely top ten with the current poor state of the division, I’m just glad he’s back and active he won’t be around long though.

Pianeta looked in pretty good shape actually, I expected him to retire mid fight after he realised he couldn't touch Tyson. Credit to him. You’re absolutely right Pianeta did tough it out I expected him to fold long ago , third fourth round

Pianeta looked in pretty good shape actually, I expected him to retire mid fight after he realised he couldn't touch Tyson. Credit to him. Yeah but am not sure if Fury actually carried him a bit to get those rounds in, if he’s going to be competitive against Wilder he would need to last those 12 rounds.

He needs the round. He would have gain nothing stopping Pianeta early. Pianeta looked in pretty good shape actually, I expected him to retire mid fight after he realised he couldn't touch Tyson. Credit to him.
