Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn: Tyson Fury vs. Tom Schwarz is a Terrible Fight

[Adamsc151]

Just seen Tom Schwarz's record, how the hell is his ranking so high with WBO? The guy's only had 3 scheduled 12 rounders, I'd fancy Dave Allen to beat him.

[UNBIASED BOXING]

He's 6'5.5" and undefeated. Has anyone ever seen Tom Schwarz fight?

I'm assuming he looks terrible if he's being matched up against Fury, but still, any chance, at all?

[Phenom]

I feel like he should be wearing a bra too

He's been offered 40%, but with Matchroom controlling the promotion.

Whereas Warren & Arum have the clout to get the WBO to modify the split to 60/40, which either forces Hearn to give 50/50 in order to secure a rematch clause or risk Warren/Arum winning a purse bid, controlling the promotion, and getting a shot at Joshua with no rematch clause.

WBO can't modify no purse splits
Smh

"fast eddie" loves to run his mouth meanwhile his paper chump has signed to fight outright bum the "big baby" miller

Wilder has 38 nobodies on his resume
One Ko of Ortiz
One Draw with Fury
And
You call AJ a paper champ?
Lololol
Stop Trolling

[greeneye99]

Love how Fury is getting a pass for this but yet Wilder got no credit for stepping up his comp fighting Ortiz and Fury back to back!

After fighting 38 nobodies
You want to give Wilder credit

[greeneye99]

Tyson ****ry calls every other fighter Joshua or Wilder a bum. Let him come explain how masterful and credible Tomb Schwarz is

That's a fact

[uppercut510]

O STFU

Wilder ducked his ass because he knows if Fury was in his best shape he woulld have never got those luck knock downs

Wilder ducked Fury? wow

[REdrUm0351]

Possibly it doesn't really matter ...anyone knowing Schwartz ,probably never seen him fight as wilder fans don't actually follow the sport ,they think its the sport of " WILDER " ???

anyway Schwartz is a weak southpaw with good footwork and likes getting beat up on the ropes ,so who knows ,maybe fury looks out in the crowd to see other fights happening while Tom is trying to hit him ???

Fury will get a good fight there at ESPN, the question is who ?

Personally I'm just tired of all the BS from the promoters, Wilder, Joshua, and Fury. I just want to see them fight and reveal who is the best. I'm not here to cheerlead anybody. It bothers me that it takes ages just to have decent fights nowadays. They made a good point on the program tonight that Ali-Frazier put together beautiful fights and it took something like 4 years to complete their trilogy while through the marination program it took how long to produce Manny-Mayweather only to have the fight be lackluster.I don't want to wait to see who slips first and falls out of their prime waiting for these fights. Fury and Wilder already fought the fight doesn't need to marinate and an upset will cause the rematch to lose appeal. Arum was talking about the rematch marinating and I won't lie it pissed me off.

I have no idea who Tom Schwarz is. For all I know he'll KO Fury. But you can gleam some data from his fights and the little video that's out there.

First his record is a sham. He's fought exactly 2 boxers who had at least 20 wins and 10 more wins than losses. Neither of those two guys are names. He's only ever fought in Germany which isn't the biggest boxing country out there. Of his last 10 opponents, 9 have 17 or fewer wins. This is the epitome of a record made up of creampuffs. 13 of Wilder's 14 last fights meet this criteria. 14 of Joshua's last 16 opponents meet this criteria. At least they're fighting experienced guys. Schwarz isn't.

Then let's look at the video. Here's his latest fight.

Frankly, on the basis of that video Schwartz only belongs near the ring if he bought a ticket. Very slow hands, porous defense, bad footwork, etc. His hands are low, especially his right. His right hook is too wide. He sticks his chin out and up too often. It's not pretty. For instance, look at this part of the video: https://********/-OLXpe1SXN0?t=170. See those slow pitypat jabs? Any decent boxer - especially one of Fury's size and reach - is just going to send a crashing right over the top and end this in a hurry. You can get away with that crap against small, light punchers. You can't do that against a bigger guy with a long reach or a harder puncher.

After watching that video, this fight looks like an absolute joke.
