Fury Blows Away Belshaw, Demands Chisora Clash

[paul750]

He has far too much focus on fighting British opposition; he should be fighting learning fights against tough opposition with a wide variety of styles at this stage of his careeer, who can test him without beating him. That's the right way to bring on a prospect, and is how fighters like Holyfield and Cotto were brought on, but is very rarely how British prospects are brought on. If they fight foreign competition at all in their early career it's usually complete bums whom they can't learn anything from fighting. They get seriously over-protected until they jump up to world class, and it's usually far too sudden a jump.

Belshaw just stood in front of him, had no defence, no attack, and didn't have the conditioning to take any body punches. He was not a test, and it was a pointless fight, except in the strict sense that Fury got another fight under his belt and looked quite good against a useless opponent. Hennessy could get him more meaningful tests than this if he tried.

In boxing terms he's moving along quite fast, and appears hungry. Apparently he's been getting decent sparring in Germany I think. Belshaw looked garbage, but he was a decent amatuer and a few people thought he'd be a reasonable heavyweight before he started his pro career. This guy is only 20 and isn't far from a British title shot by the looks of it. The British will lead to European then it will be contenders in America. You're being very harsh.

This wanker should just build his own name instead of riding on Chisora.
What's wrong with all these hypes,we saw the same with Enzo Macarinelli.He was busy bad mouthing Haye especially when Haye had signed to fight against McComerc.When they finally got into the ring Enzo didnt even last 2 rounds.

Fury should be content fighting nobodies.If he wants to prove himself there are a lot of fighters out there,Sprott,Skelton,Rogan.I've never heard him mentioning all these guys,typeical of w.a.n.k.e.r.s.

Why would he ride on Chishora? He is exactly the guy he should targeting.

Fury did a great job in this fight........Belshaw was a decent opponent. I had a load of beers with fury and his fam after the fight in watford.....bloody good guys and a messy night...lol

I think Belshaw was supposed to be a good amatuer, but the guy doesn't look like he has any skill at all.

He was three times Irish HW amateur champ....he was an ideal opponent for fury and looking at his record of 11-1 a step in class also.,.
