I've heard some people say that Tyson Fury was exposed by Otto Wallin. Here's what I think. I think a part of Fury did underestimate Wallin. Wallin is a lesser opponent who lacked the experience at this level. But even then, Wallin showed heart and bucked those that counted him out. Wallin showed that he's a contender in my opinion. Before this he had only gone twelve rounds once. If he gets more experience and remains this hungry, I expect Wallin to be a player in the division in the near future. For now, he should be commended for his courageous performance.
Now back to Fury. Aside from him underestimating Wallin, I think the nasty cut he suffered was a big factor in his performance. People want to bash him and say he was exposed or had a tougher time against a lesser opponent. But imagine being cut and losing chunks of blood in a fight. The cut happened early in the fight, so Fury is dealing with the fearful thoughts of, "How bad is this cut? What if I pass out? What if the referee stops the fight?" You're talking about a huge cut in the middle of a real fight. It clearly had an effect on his performance, but he fought on. He showed championship level grit in fighting through adversity. He didn't quit and found a way to win in a scary situation. I applaud Fury because this type of performance elevated his game. Now he knows what it's like to fight through a bad cut. Fighting back from adversity to win shows me more than simply rolling through an opponent.
The good ole 'He Underestimated him Excuse' Not really going to work here guys with this specific fight.
I don't think Tyson Fury underestimated Ottin Wallin, I just think Tyson Fury has a tendency to fight to his opponents ability 'Tyson Fury does not have the attributes to at times separate him from certain levels of competition' His lack of super-heavyweight power, and even a elite level engine results in certain fighters surviving inside the ring against him.
Ottin Wallin could most probably be knocked out by David Price within 6 rounds, from what I have seen I would favor David Price to beat him 'All in all I don't think Tyson Fury has been exposed at all, he won the fight' All that has been highlighted for me once again, is that Fury is a fighter who fights to the level of his opponents 'I am not comparing him to the following fighters but? Muhammad Ali, Chris Eubank Senior with two fighters who also fought to the level of their opponents'
In Muhammad Ali's case he would fight to the level of the opponent, or the perceived threat 'Which backfired on him multiple times, but most of the time he still managed to get the win'
Exposed isnt the right word because Fury hasnt been figured out. He is unbeaten so i dont see how many can say he is exposed.
Fury may be quick and skilled for a giant but when you are that big, you are a huge target and fury will get caught here and there.
When people claim you’re a defensive juggernaut/Ali and no boxer can lay a glove on you
- -Ali decked by 190 lb Sonny Banks and 170 Lb Henry Cooper not to mention Chuck Wepner.
Joe Frazier!
Just the facts, ma'am .
They're all overrated as F#CK...Fury, Wilder, AJ
You little Man Fans who love these guys so much, your Demise will be HILARIOUS when your Man Crush Falls. You guys will be scrambling just like we seen a lot of AJ fans Scrambling when he took his fall. He was just the first, Fury and Wilder will join him soon
Now that doesn't mean they're not good fighters but they're not as great as their little internet fans think they are. Andy upset is just the begging of all of them falling. We will look up in about about 2-3 years and the landscape at Heavyweight will be totally different. Somebody will emerge and it won't be anybody we're expect, he will come along and turn this Heavyweight Divisions upside down similar to what Andy Ruiz just did
Who knows it could be Tyrone Spong clipping Usyk and that end up being the start of something nobody seen coming
This ERA of Heavyweight boxing will be unpredictable and I think that is a great thing but I don't see one person ruling this Divisions as long as Wlad and Vitali did or anything like that
A lot of you guys are hyping these guys to expectations they cannot live up to and when they let you down you will just jump to a new Account and Stroke on the next fighter

Fury did underestimated Wallin, and consequently had to reboot not only his attitude but his game plan mid-fight. It takes the heart and mentality of a champion to do that.
:lol1: Both them dudes are right.
You can't expose Fury at this point. I seen him punch himself in the face, I seen KD by a CW, I seen him cut by a bum, not really a big deal, kinda used to Tyson being a **** up here and there.
But, some folks do over exaggerate Tyson's abilities and them dickheads do deserve a bit of riffing. Too ****in' right. Tyson Fury some kind of Ali? Yeah, actually I see it, but, I always say like a ****ty version of Ali. I see the Ali influence in his fighting, he's a bit a **** at it though. Nothing near a defensive genius. Wilder should have knocked his ass out.
The Wilder-Fury fight didn't elevate Tyson for me it just brought Wilder down a bit. Fury-Wallin doesn't elevate Wallin either it just brings Tyson down.

Some people are capable of being objective about boxing. Others are not.
