bad stoppage...firtha wasn't even hurt by the big looping right that stopped the fight.fury showed a great jab & ability to mix a straight right & an uppercut.firtha is 247 so don't be alarmed by fury getting rocked in the 3rd.he recovered very well & controlled most of the fight.

It was an entertaining heavyweight fight, but that ridiculous referee stoppage ruined it.

Good fight, bad stoppage.

Fury used his jab well tonight..

Things that worry me about Fury..

1. Motivation.
2. Defence.

I feared greatly for him when he fought Chisora because his hands were so low.

Firtha's tough and this win will do wonders for Fury's confidence. That said, im sure he'll be far too confident when he faces Price. Pretty sure Price will stop him.

i thought it was a very good stoppage. throughout the 4th firtha was worn down and in the 5th he took some solid shots which left him just staggering forward trying to cuddle fury for a bit of respite, all the while eating shots. if it had gone on any longer firtha would have just eaten more shots. just because he could remain stood up doesn't mean the fight should continue. firtha didn't have many complaints at all which usually means something too.

Referee stopped that fight so early I thought I was watching a Joe Calzaghe fight.

At least this heavyweight fight was better than Klitschko-Adamek.

[Larry the boss]

guess he'll get a title shot soon
