What do you want,He had about 22 bouts in the Amatuers mostly at International Level. I thought He looked Okay, plus the other guy came to win :confused:

The real Tyson onlly had 20 odd amature bouts and I reckon hed have flattened the German in the first.
Fair enough its early days but dont boast your shaking up the world when clearly he aint.
I had to laugh when the German said in the prefight dressing room interview that hes a "knockouter"
He will go quite far until he fights someone with a touch of class that can find that chin because at the mo he doesnt defend well and isnt gonna learn how to till its too late.
Furys not paying £10,000 aweek for sparring Partners and having His arse wiped is He ;D
Cause he aint worth it;)
It's too early to say he's going to fail. He didn't blast the guy out in one round becuase unsuprisingly like practically every other heavyweight who has ever lived he doesn't have the devastating one punch knockout power that Tyson had.Quote:

Watching him reminded me of watching Paul Williams a couple years ago, non stop punches, not much power behind them but he just keeps throwing.
Once he gets his cardio and conditioning right with some more experience he could be really exciting to watch.
I was impressed. For a 21 year old kid in his second fight he looked great. And fighting a guy 21-3 with 20 KO's is more impressive a second fight than just about anyone I can think of.
I just hope they don't rush him too soon as an early loss would really harm his career momentum.
Damn i thought i had u on DLH being the only guy to not fight someone with a losing record with Kostya Tszyu. KT only ever fought one guy with a losing record in his second fight. Nedrick simmons 8-19-1. He fought Juan LAporte in his 4th fight Livingstone Bramble in his 10th and Hector Lopez in his 11th. In fact the combined record of his opponents before coming champ isQuote:

Yeah but Tszyu and ODLH were beasts and I would have paid a fortune to see that fight.Quote:

He has quite a bit going for him, but still has a lot to learn on the way to the top, as long as he's not too thick to realise that (which his dad seems to be) then he might make a decent career for himself.
He should ask the Klitschkos, and Lewis for advice on how best to use his size as an advantage. They are also good role models for him when it comes to conditioning.
