I have no idea who Tom Schwarz is but you can gleam some data from his fight reocrd 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 the criteria of 20+ wins (and 10 more wins than losses). 14 of Joshua's last 16 opponents meet this criteria. At least they're fighting experienced guys. Schwarz isn't. He's entirely unproven.
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. His hands are low, especially his right. His right hook is too wide. He sticks his chin out and up too often. He lumbers on his feet. The cross is telegraphed. 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. This is Peter McNeeley-level bad. At least that was Mike Tyson's warmup after not fighting after 4 years. This Tyson is fighting him longer after he started his comeback.
After watching that video, this fight looks like an absolute joke. Now maybe I'm wrong and maybe he'll KO Fury - but the video doesn't look like it.
