Tyson Fury Returns June 9th

[HeadBodyBodyBody]

Certainly NOT entertaining in the ring.

Come on man, think you're being a bit unfair

For his size, he moves incredibly quick. And even the Klitschko fight, which was a damp affair, had its moments. Sticking his hands behind his back, taunting Klitschko on... it may not have been an explosive fight but Fury got the job done, didn't let him set his feet, nicked the rounds. That is the epitome of the art of boxing for me, and yeh, sometimes these kind of 'chess-matches' can come across as boring. But if you're Fury, and you know you haven't got the type of power that will allow you to trade toe-to-toe, what are you supposed to do?

A guy without incredible power can still be entertaining in the ring, just looking at heavyweights alone there was Ali, Norton, Holyfield et al.

The problem has been for too long that fury has avoided a fight all together, he has been happy psyching out his opponents, doing just enough to squeak rounds and thats it. That is in complete contrast to all the rubbish he speaks before a fight about how he'll go to war etc etc

Look at the Chisora rematch, delboy looked almost completely demotivated by about round 4 or 5 yet Fury was just there, throwing the odd jab, where was the intent, where was the fire and brimstone he promised?

This is boxing not shadow boxing.

Hoping he fights Shannon Briggs and puts his career to a close. Although his career is kinda closed already

That fight could actually sell haha

I think Cornish and Sexton will be lined up for Fury, maybe even Price and a chisora rematch.

Yeh, I agree actually, Fury shouldn't be talking about going to war, cos it's just not gonna happen. He is quite a purist-boxer in many ways

Funny you mention the Chisora rematch, thought Fury did a ****-up job there, but yeah, he could've got him out of there earlier... The boos that night tell their own tale

Still, to be made to quit is the most humbling way to lose. The trainer may have thrown the towel in for Chisora but it was Chisora himself who agreed to that suggestion. Fury literally beat the fight out of a usually very game Chisora, and so, again, I have to say, Fury is quite underrated in this circumstance

You can say Fury is just 'throwing the odd jab' but if it's enough to keep the opponent off him, and at a distance, where Fury prefers the fighting, then that jab is doing its job
