Comments Thread For: Fury: That Was a Good Hook To The Side of My Jaw

[Jam Jars]

I do love how you guys act as though at 24, Fury can never improve, that's it.

"oooh don't compare him to Wladamir, Blasphamy"

When Wlad was 24, he still hadn't been knocked out by that ourneyman yet, Ross Purrity.

It's safe to say, Wlad now is FAR, FAR better than he was at 24, and also when Wlad was getting sparked by Purrity, we would be saying "don't compare Wlad to lewis lol, he's the same size but he's ust a glass jawed bum"

I'm not saying Fury will go the same way, i'm just saying MAYBE he can get better. If not, well he's still entertaining and can beat some good fighters.

Fury has Wlad's weakness (chin) but none of his strengths (speed & power). You can't learn those, you either have them or you don't and Fury doesn't.

no but he has better inside game, combination punching and switch hitting.

but what's the point in arguing you will never change your mind.

We'll see though, we'll see

I liked how Fury was looking after the Rogan and Johnson fights but he showed that those flaws haven't disappeared it was merely a case of fighting favourable opponents. Where was his inside game, combination punching and defense tonight? Nowhere to be found when he faces a boxer with skill who uses some lateral movement and doesn't just stand right in front of him.

denied at customs due to a 5 year prison sentence.

The difference tonight was Fury had NO TRAINER

he's a young kid with a lack of concentration and he needs his uncle, he needs directions. He didn't have them. Call it a "weakness" or whatever but the kid is the type of fighter who needs his trainer in the corner telling him what to do and keeping him calm.

Inside game? Not really, it's easy brawling with a much smaller man like that. Against a guy his own size he's going to be in real trouble. Give him Price, Helenius, Wilder. Those are the kind of guys he needs to prove himself against.

in all seriousness Fury actually went backwards in this fight, he neglected his jab and was like a rudderless oil tanker, but he got it done.

Hopefully Peter puts him on blast because a lot better is needed from this point.

True indeed. I thought he looked awful andc clumsy at times, he is much better than he showed last night. I have a hunch that self discipline might be or become an issue for Tyson Fury.

a Mediocre 2 time world champion cruiserweight?

Cunningham got destroyed, he had to go to the hospital because of **** bleeding after that KO

I bet when you woke up today you yourself had some **** bleeding. When you realized that it wasn't a dream and you pal Fury really is a bum.

I have to say Fury disappointed me yesterday. I still think he's talented, but the focus and consistency he had against Johnson was long gone. Steve is an excellent fighter and veteran, but by no means does he fit well into the heavyweight picture due to the fact he's small. I was SHOCKED to say the least that Fury got dropped like that by Cunningham who wasn't a big puncher even at Cruiserweight. Tyson needs to be the Tyson who fought Johnson. If he's the guy we saw last night, I have a hard time seeing him beat a Jennings, Pulev, or even a Wilder at this point, let alone a Klitschko. He needs to tighten things up.

Fury is an oversized bum .. Steve dictated the fight and was winning rounds .. A cruiser who isn't even a big puncher puts you down? Pffft .. Fury pushes his face and sneaks in the hook lmao !! Mad dirty ... Steve would destroy him if he was a legit H.W ... The kitschkos would dismantle this oversized bum .. He isn't funny either
