This is one that keeps coming up, where Fury was dropped by Cunningham in his 21st bout back in 2013. He was "exposed". Sigh.
A history lesson for you (and I LIKE Fury):
* In his 8th pro bout back in 2008 he was in a fight with John "D Cup" McDermott where the bout was only being scored, due to some archaic Brit ruling, by the referee. The ref scored the fight for Fury widely, while many at ringside thought he looked fortunate to get the decision.
* In his 17th pro fight against Neven Pajkic he was dropped (and dropped more heavily than against Cunningham) in the second round by an overhand right. This was over 17 months before he fought Steve Cunningham.
See, when people say Fury was "exposed by Steve Cunningham", what they're really saying is "I don't know what I'm talking about."
Sure, okay, you're only talking about the subject insofar as YOU know it, because Fury hadn't fought on US TV before then, and you hadn't bothered to download/stream/YouTube his prior fights. I get it. That's COOL.
But if you're posting in a boxing forum and you haven't bothered to research your subject, then really you should simply STFU and let people who WATCH THE SPORT talk about it. Otherwise you come over as an uneducated fuckwit.
Thanks for listening.
