Comments Thread For: Mike Tyson Favors Fury Over Joshua: Fury Too Elusive, Joshua Won't Hit Him

[lion33lit]

My man Mike smokes soooo much Bob Marley type spliffs that he probably believes he’s Bob....Of course Joshua can catch Fury. Fury’s double jab then feint to right or left can work only so much. Joshua is just as fast and hits harder.

Fury relied on his own form of cheater gloves like Margacheato did, so his punk cheater gauge on his punching pop is really unknown to him or the public, so he’s had no real reliance on his natural ability in that area of his arsenal.

Joshua’s gonna kick that ass. They both love rangy combat. Joshua’s gotten better and won’t attack like a senseless desperate robot like he did against Ruiz 1.’ And Fury won’t be dumb enough to try his dads free range knuckle punching this time around in such a huge fight....Mike needs to detox and stop sweating Fury over the use of his name....

It's laughable how many fans perceive boxing. This is boxing and in our sport anything can happen. Fury may just sleep

Some true words in the last couple of comments. You said it in terms of anything an happen. This spot has had so many upsets, you'd have thought people would realise by now that you cannot truly count on a certain horse winning in a two-horse race.

I've been saying for a long time that I don't neccesarily expect Joshua to win this fight, but he has all the tools to send Fury to sleep.

They do both love rangy combat, very true. Furthermore, although Joshua doesn't like to get in close and nasty, he does have an aptitude for it if it comes to that -- that uppercut comes very easily and can do a lot of damage.

Fury is the best thing to come out of the UK yet. When he got up, after that second knock down, he joined the boxing gods. AJ quit and Whyte played dead, but Fury never looked so good. He stood up and all he'll broke loose.

you do know fury vs wilder 1 was a fixed fight?

the thing with Tyson is, he doesnt even know or watch Anthony joshua. he's probably seen a couple of youtube compilations and made up his mind.



Mike Tyson's been on joe rogan's podcast and copied it with his own podcast. he's kind of enjoying a second summer right now and it's due to the respect given to him by white people inc tyson fury.
that whole rich to middle class middle aged white guy trying to be retro, connecting with alegend like mike tyson thing..that audience is up tyson fury's ar5e too and mike's got to stroke their egos by praising fury.

his other connection to tyson fury is because of their name, with fury meeting him and then going on his podcast too.
he even couldnt remember Wilder's name and said 'that black guy'. that is how out of touch with reality he is.

Its amusing some of the comments here. I will paraphrase and not single any poster out... "Fury is vulnerable to the body." Well now.... That would be splendid indeed, if Joshua could throw to the body.

"Joshua will catch Fury" Its always possible... But Joshua fights one way, and he will have to overcome considerable reach to catch Fury. My question is, What does Joshua have to chase Fury? ... His feet are average, He can fight relatively aggressively when he smells blood in the water, but does not have "gears."

IMO the biggest danger in this fight to Fury is Fury. If he goes in there, fights like he fought Vlad, and does not make mistakes, it will be a relatively easy fight for him. Joshua is a talented fighter, he punches well, but his tools are limited. Fury should respect Joshua's power and beat him up outside, frustrate him, then get him moving backwards, tired, and open up on him.

On paper it looks like a comfortable one sided UD for Fury, but ive got a feeling it wont actually play out like that.

Please explain to me how it could possibly look like a fury win on "paper"......what paper are we talking about? Tissue paper? AJ might kill fury if the ref doesn't step in....smh lol

To be fair,Wlad was far better than all those guys too,but he couldnt land solidly on Fury.Obviously AJ can land,but Fury will be very sharp and alert because he has to be.

Yeah, I agree - good point. To be fair, Fury won that against Wlad before the first bell. If Wlad had actually thrown more - who knows what would have happened.

If Fury is losing the weight that he had for Wilder, you can tell he is going for a similar gameplan. He needed the extra weight to put Wilder down (albeit, Wilder's footwork was terrible). I am praying that it isn't a snoozefest.
