Comments Thread For: Froch: The Only Way Joshua Beats Fury is By Stoppage, He Can't Outbox Him

[Toffee]

Because AJ is a basic boxer in the technical sense.

If Fury isn’t on top of his game he will lose make no mistake about that.

They're called fundamentals for a reason.

Fury is unorthodox, but that doesn't necessarily mean he outboxes AJ. I don't even think he'll want to - if he relies on fighting from the outside and winning rounds he'll have to be perfect. Wilder, who can't box, caught up with him twice. You'd have to think AJ, who can box, will get to him more often even if he's losing rounds inbetween.

I think Fury has to go the boxer/puncher route. He'll need to do some damage when he gets his opportunities because he can't expect to fight AJ for 12 rounds without getting caught.

And I think, and have always thought, that a fight like that suits AJ more.

Sounds like Froch was describing what would have happened if he fought Calzaghe back in the day

Fundamentally agree however we see in fights that AJ gasses and loses his composure when he’s hurt/pressed etc. After the 3rd round against Pulev he looked tired coming out for the fourth. I expect Fury to force a late stoppage and he should command the centre of the ring as he did against Wilder in the rematch. Fury TKO R9

He held back in the fourth and rested, he knows he has gassed in the past, that's why he didn't come out all guns blazing.

Joshua showed he has learned from his past mistakes. He knows that he can relax and wait for opportunities to open up. In the past he would have gone all out and left himself empty and open to counters.

Fury is awkward, rangey and hard to hit but he doesn't have the power to take Joshua out like he did with the far lighter Wilder.

I think Joshua will likely knock out Fury in the later rounds. If it goes to a decision, Fury wins hands down.

Looking forward to this one, it's going to be epic.

I agree with Carl. I don't see AJ getting a decision over Fury

Joshua is not going to outbox fury,he's going to beat fury up..whether there will be a stoppage or not will be dependant on how strong fury's chin is

Fury is more than fundamentally sound too.

I know I’m the minority but I wasn’t all that impressed with his performance against Pulev.

He’s beatable, very beatable and I agree that Fury will not win this on the Blackfoot fighting like he did in the first Wilder fight, he should come out as he did in the Wilder rematch, push Joshua back, be careful in the clinches as AJ for a man of his size is an excellent short combination puncher in close, clinch and lean on AJ as I believe Tyson will be the bigger, stronger man and AJ will be blowing by the mid rounds.

Tbh If I was an AJ fan I would be concerning myself on what type of fight or version of AJ shows up as opposed to Fury.

The run up will be epic, Fury quick and speaking freely against AJ and his woke, “humble” bull **** that he thinks people want to hear.

Fury will need to fight AJ as he did with the Wilder rematch, move forward take centre ring, feinting all the time and leaning on him in the clinch.

AJ will be blowing by the mid rounds and I think Fury stops him late, I wasn’t impressed with what I saw in AJ v Pulev.

Fury will comfortably outbox Joshua, beat him up, then stop him late in the fight, ref probably waves it off or AJ spits out his gumshield and quits again.

That's what I'm thinking also. Fury makes AJ quit again.

What's the over/under on AJ spitting his mouthpiece out at least once???

Hahaha man I Remember my 1st beer also...

[DaNeutral.]

Lol.. I knew one of u would be butthurt when I call the shyt like it is. Lmao. All I want is a clean fight.. I know some of those old fighters where probably pumped up with crap.. calzage and marciano too huh.. Henry Armstrong.. Ali.. Forman frazier, .. I get what u are saying.. And I cant really say unless they got caught publicly.. All I can do is speak on what's happening now.. Furys A sample came back dirty after the Wilder 2 fight.. That is a fact punk! Furys test came bqck dirty for Christian hammer.. That's a fact.. He tried to cheat with a loose thumb vs hammer.. He tried to cheat wladimir and got caught.. lied.. Threatened a farmer.. Didnt pay him.. Then faked mental depression.. That is a fact! Furys gloves look wierd as hell from every professional boxer vs Wilder 1 and 2.. That is a fact! You clowns are in racist denial!!! I keep shyt real.. Regardless of race.. But not u bums.. All u can do is hide behind race. I judge all men equally.. I piss everyone off equally.. But u furys **** are hilariously racists pathetic p.o.s! My original point was race has nothing to do with it.. If ur a cheating bum. U get no mercy or love from me over here! No one.. Not even eddie believes Fury will be a big puncher ever again.. Vs anyone Because everyone knows Furys not getting away with that shyt again! Ever! And he's going to retire broke unless he fights Wilder again. But this time with the world watching!! He will be detroyed.. Or will retire, the bum he is! Zero title defenses! King of the traveling bums! GTFOH punk!!!

What's all this racist talk? Where is that coming from? What's with certain members in here calling everybody racist? Ppl can't automatically side with a black man just cuz he's black otherwise that would be racist. Are you a racist? Yoh sound like one.

Make sure you call all those African Americans who are saying the same as me regarding Wilder and Fury white racists too. Cuz they must be.
