Comments Thread For: Fury: I'm No Bum Swinging For a KO, I'm a Calculated Technician

****ing hypocrite , everyone fights bums but you , but guess what 3 out of 4 ( inc this one ) of your last fights have been bums... if you boxed in my back garden I'd shut the curtains your so boring and arum
Knows it and you try bull****ing the American public and they realise your not the real explosive deal .. they'll **** you right off ..

it would be good to see him get a stoppage

He beat Wilder. Only boxing politics made it a draw.

I definitely agree with that, he did beat Wilder.

Wilder knows what fury is talking about. He was outboxed for 11 round, 2 minutes, and 40 seconds

Certainly, I will not be making any paper view purchases for the very reason you mentioned.

Its paper view in the UK right (20 quid ?).

In other words "prepared to be bored out of your mind"

And I hate to say that cause I love tactical fighters as well but for some reason Fury just isn't that entertaining. I did enjoy watching him school Wilder though aside from being put on his back twice

In some ways i kind of admire the mental strength it takes to completely disregard the audience pressure to entertain in order to win. People like Hopkins, Floyd (when he got older), Fury etc. Are all really single minded in that sense. It’s extremely dull to watch at times, even though I like them all as fighters.

I agree that Fury comes across as less entertaining, probably because he’s much bigger so it doesn’t look as fluid when he is controlling opponents. I think he’s excellent at what he does though.

The hell with all the clowns who watch boxing to see only TKO/KO. I am purist and I like all styles, especially the sweet science of boxing. Love it or Hate it, Tyson Fury is going to stay in the Heavy Weight Scene.

I enjoy watching a boxing clinic if there's real skill involved. Knockouts are great to see, but it was also great to watch fights like Floyd vs Canelo, or even his fight against Marquez, its not exciting but its enjoyable to see a brawler like Marquez completely shut out.

I don't enjoy hugging fests for 12 rounds, that's just bad conditioning with lack of skill. Many heavyweight fights descend into that, but we have been blessed recently with some good action fights. Casuals will still complain because nobody needed an oxygen mask by the end of the fight.
If you know what you're looking for you can really appreciate the sweet science.

He's not wrong. He's easily the most skilled HW out there.

His fighting style suits him, when he was up and coming and wanted to act macho and get into 'fights' he was caught much more often.

He became a much better fighter when he got serious and used his boxing skills.

Watching a fury fight is the best way to get the little ones to sleep...

How many time do you have to explain this to convince us that wilder deserved a draw. Move on, we av gone pass that.

I’ll do it as much as it takes cuz Fury loves to manipulate the narrative and his bandwagon fans love to project what Fury says as if they shared the same Coke stash as him!

Nothing I said wasn’t wrong, Fury tried to steal rounds by landing 1-2 punches of pitter pats while the rest were blocked and he got too much credit for that while Wilder was missing too but was landing good jabs and some jabs to the body early that no one seemed to give credit to!

The commentary didn’t help as they were so bias for Fury that of course people will think Fury is sweeping Wilder “easily” then they interview Mayweather who’s known for loving the spotlight so much that he supplants other fighters who are getting some shine in which case Wilder was prior to the fight!
