Comments Thread For: Cunningham, Naazim Rip Fury Over Using "Illegal" Tactics

[wslay]

Would love to see Steve Cunningham vs BJ Flores. Both big Cruisers....

[junior gong]

Much as I respect his abilities and knowledge as a trainer, Naazim is talking out of his arse. Sour g****s from a man who has worked with Borehead Buttkins for so long.

Ehhhh Mayweather, Bhop, and many others use the forearm/elbow and I've never seen them loose a point.

Yeah but that's different. It's control and ring generalship when they do it. When a European fighter does it, it becomes fouling. Read the rules.

NEW YORK — Their post-fight press conference grew tense Saturday when Steve Cunningham continuously complained that Tyson Fury regularly got away with illegal tactics during their heavyweight fight.

Cunningham seemed most bothered that his brash British opponent used his left forearm to keep Cunningham in position prior to landing the crushing right hand that ended their fight late in the seventh round in The Theater at Madison Square Garden.

“I feel I was a little wronged,” Cunningham said, as Fury sat beside him at ringside. “When they showed me the highlight when they were interviewing me after the fight, it’s like, ‘Wow! It’s a forearm lift-up and the right hook.’ It’s like, ‘Wow! Isn’t that illegal?’ But it’s over.” [Click Here To Read More]

****m is just bitter. Fury cut off all corners on Steve cornered him many times and was hurting him and wearing down. Steve tried to clinch he got pushed of the clinch and he got koed. ****m and Steve coming from Philadelphia and talking about life on streets and all this complaining about dirty tactics lol. Even ****m's interview during the fight was idiotic. He was saying that Tyson was leaning on Steve and tiring him out that's why he wins, not cause of skill. ****m was wrong and he can't man up to it, that's all. Pulev might put some good beating on Tyson, hope this fight gets made next.

Fury had to fight dirty with a cruiserweight that he had 40 pounds on. He is *****. Sour g****s? Haha! He used the same tactics that the most overrated boxer in history used. People just need to get off here because they just don't get it. Simple minded fools. Fury won yesterday but he is ruined. His chin won't stand up to the big guys.

Steve Cunningham is such a crybaby.

He complains about one thing or another after every one of his losses.

I didn't know much about both fighters but Cunningham is maybe one of the more exciting heavyweights, I hope to see more of him.

Fury could have done a Wlad and boxed behind his jab all night, but he was up for a tear up.

Cunningham had nowhere to go. Fury responded to being dropped by ramping up the pressure and there was no way Cunningham had enough in the tank to get to the end of the fight.

The body shot (uppercut) that was the beginning of the end was a sweet punch, and funny how Naseem/USSC are all wronged by Fury's attempts to free his arms, but overlook USSC's own constant tying up of Fury.

Cunningham can just retire, what the fuck is he doing in the hw division anyway?

Steve Cunningham is such a crybaby.

If Tyson Fury was Tyrese Foxx, ****m would say he fought like a skilled and crafty veteran.
