Fury v Maddalone -Hand Arena Clevedon UK -International Boxing Channel 5 Thread

On the card

Tyson Fury v Vinny Maddalone
Lee Haskins v Stuart Hall European Bantamweight Title
Lenny Daws v Dean Mills
Chris Eubank Jr v Terry Carruthers

Unfortunately Channel 5 will probably only televise Fury & Eubank Jr's fight, which means we miss Haskins v Hall which is for the European Bantamweight Title and could be very entertaining. It also means I won't get to see local lad Mills fight.

If it is a quick blow out then we could get to see more of the under card.

It is on for longer than most Channel 5 shows so actually you may be right there mate.:p

fury fight is a walkover as is eubanks fight,id like to see fury fight Mike Perez who is unbeaten and also prizefighter winner or else david price

Observation #1
Fury's shorts are far too tight and too short.

fight start yet?

Yep. 3rd round.
Rounds 1 and 2 both for Fury

Ok Maddaone is garbage but I have to admit that Fury is definately improving.
Price still stops him double quick though.

fury might just be dumb enough to walk in and trade wildly with vitali...which may actually lead to him knocking klit out!

probably not tho.

Definately not ;D

yet another American punchbag for Fury,i remember the likes of Joe Baxi lee Savold Lee Oma Gus Lesnivich Bonecrusher Smith coming over and fighting Bruce Woodcock Freddie Mills Frank Bruno etc,and usually beating them no such a thing now for the local champions HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING HAS REALLY WENT DOWN THE DRAIN

Even Suger Ray came over losing to Randolph Turpin can you even imagine pacman Mayweather or any of the other top men coming over now

I have to grudgingly agree. I am so not a fan of Fury,( his sudden overwhelming Irishness, despite being a Manc who after winning the British title clearly avoided Price ) but he has become more patient and can clearly bang a bit. Price though could well be his nemesis. They should each fight a Klitschko brother. If Vitali is going to retire they may have to chance it soon and hope their physical attributes and youth may make up for lack of experience and ringcraft.

Glad to see Haskins won but was again not overly impressed by Eubank Jr, as overrated as his old man.

Fury was excellent used his jab well and landed hard body shots. Near perfect performance.

Eubanks Junior was excellent too.

Haskin is under appreciated, a very good fighter.

Beanz, I think it's a little early to be writing Eubank Jr. off. He only had 20 something amateur fights and last night was his 5th as a pro. He's still got a lot to learn, his defence is almost non existent and he doesn't use the jab especially well. He does seem to lack power too. Let's see how he progresses before completely writing him off though.

I am not completely writing him off, he may well turn out to be a decent boxer. It is just a bit annoying that channel 5 choose to show his learning fights on cards where seasoned and experienced boxers are not granted more than a couple televised rounds, despite fighting for a European or similar belt. I know it's the way of the world and all that, but his dad was hardly Sugar Ray Robinson.

Yeah that is a piss take on C5's/Hennessy's part. I would have much rather seen all of Haskins/Hall and selected rounds from the Eubank fight.

Surely @Master even you as Fury's greatest fan must be hoping that they step up his opposition next . A decent European or even someone like Adamek whom they mentioned?

Tyson Fury is only a baby and needs to be seasoned. I think he was good in his last fight but against Rogan fighting southpaw was taking the piss out of Rogan but shows his confidence to do that. Yes better standard of heavyweight with a reputation would be good.

I believe Fury could beat Rahman, Thompson and Adamek too over the next year. I would target the WBC title and could see Vitali giving it up and fighters like Haye/Chisora fighting for the scraps that Vitali has left. Fury v Haye would be good and I am confident Fury will win that one too. :)
