Nice performance from Tyson Fury, he fought patiently and intelligently. The 12 rounds of experience against a defensive-minded former world title challenger like Kevin Johnson is good for Tyson at this stage in his career.
I scored it 119-108 for Fury, he won every round but was deducted a point.
Tbh I reckon fury would smash vitali at this point.
I thought Fury was good there, he did what he needed to do and got the decision. Johnson is durable so its good for Fury to box clever for 12 rounds, I know it was a bit dull but thats what would be expected because of Johnson low punch output.
Fury moves onwards and upwards though whos next?

Anyone want to chip in and see if we can bribe Chambers to stay a heavyweight and pay Johnson to leave for the cruiser weight division ???
Quality performance from Fury, disciplined and gained invaluable experience.
Tyson did quite well. I like him alot better now. Tyson is improving.
I just don't see what you guys praising Fury saw.
What else could of Fury done tonight?Quote:

He didnt do anything silly and just boxed, he looks in shape and was durable over 12 rounds. Thats a credible performance in my eyes, we will just have to see how he gets on next time, I would like to see him in with more of a puncher to be honest but im not sure what route Hennessy will take from here. Its all on Vitali now really.Quote:

Price - Fury needs to happen and no doubt it will, to be honest im impressed with both of them. They both need to keep on performing the way that they are doing and no doubt they will be up there in 2013. I dont know if they will meet before a Klitshcko should down, but who knows we will see what happens soon.Quote:

Fury has no power , so he was always going to win on points as Johnson is a tough guy ,
Fury has improved his fitness but he has a dodgy chin and no power , he is going to crash and burn the second he meets a puncher.
I thought fury's technique was by FAR the best ive ever seen it
I was impressed with furys fitness, he moves very well for such a big guy. It wasn't a hard fight on him but he still had a spring in his step in the 12 round. He never looked tired.
He gave Johnston to much respect, if he pressured him more I'm sure he could of got him out of there.
Problem is, he has no idea how to get someone "out of there" he just does not have a killer instinct, and he has very little power. I never saw him land a punch of any consequence. He was content to just punch through Johnson's gloves and every once in a while go downstairs. If he saw the Vitali fight, and wanted to step up in competition, he would have figured out a way to get Johnson out of there. The blueprint to win was easy enough to copyQuote:

Good news is he still has time to improve
fury a bit more mobile but a very boring match,well you can only beat whats put in front of you
I think Fury also lacks that killer instinct.
Is he showing to much respect to opponents, or does he believe he is in a different class to his opponents and using them as a sparring session.
Either way, when the time comes I think we will see the Fury's killer instinct when he gets pushed in the ring by better opponents.
Like John Mcdermott?Quote:
