For someone his size, I was very suprised with his hand speed. Agree that he looked quite flabby, but he apparently didn't train properly for the fight as he just came back from honeymoon. If he can get himself into shape and have a couple of good training camps, hopefully we'll have a decent prospect on our hands.
Was quite impressed with what I saw, but only as far as the quality of his opponent who was 191lbs
As rowlesy said, for a giant his hand speed is (surprisingly) impressive.
He's started out with a reputation/story.. be interesting to follow.
anyone have a link?
i seen tyson win the abas and i personaly think hes no were near as good as all the hype surrounding him. the hypes just cuz of hes name and hes size he is a decent boxer aswell dont get me wrong. i think he will do good on a domestic level but go no further just my opinion.

Hooters of Nottingham?!?!?! You guys have slutty looking girls and overpriced wings at your Hooters too??
His defensive shell and way he transitions to uppercuts has shades of Floyd Mayweather jr to it

Shades of Floyd Mayweather Jr. after 1 fight?!?!?! Let's not get delusional. I want to see how he does in 10-15 fights in that time he's going to fight people who can take a punch, have good stamina, weird styles, people with punching power, and good slick boxers....this dude he just fought was worthless, I could have done better.
Whilst some might suggest you were exaggerating on your own pugilistic skills, I think I'll let it go. However, I don't think we can judge any propects so early on, but the amateur pedigree does suggest he might have some good stuff ahead of him. And physically, he's got the size and stature to cause trouble.Quote:

Im sure Mick Hennessey will make him a few fights.There's nothing worst than having a up and coming boxing fighting only 1 or 2 fights a year.Im hoping Tyson could become a house hold name sometime soon,with Hatton and Calzaghe retiring soon.
Hennessy said Fury will fight next on the Jon Thaxton bill on Feb 28.. and he WILL be kept busy throughout the year ;)
