Tyson Fury vs Christian Hammer

Well the opponent has been set for Tyson Fury and now it boils down to if Tyson can do the work in the ring to earn the next shot at Wladimir Klitschko (after Bryant Jennings of course) which will no doubt either be the winner of Wilder-Stiverne or Tyson Fury should he beat Christian Hammer (and I'm thinking he should)

Christian Hammer is a Romanian based in Germany, he's 6'2, has a record of 17(10 KO's)-3. He has been stopped twice in his career, in his first fight vs Robert Gregor he suffered a shoulder injury and against Mariusz Wach he was KO'd in 6 (although Wach could have cheated as he attempted to do against Wladimir).

Thoughts? Predictions? Complaints?

Hammer is muck. He got a gift over Johnson. Fury wins this easy. Perfect opponent at this time. Decent ranking and little risk.

Too bad that is his real name. "The Christian Hammer" would be a pretty good nickname.

Wach really smashed him, great combo Tyson Fury shouldn't just win he should stop Hammer.

Great fight for Fury like you said, good ranking, low risk.

It could have been worse, he's not too bad to be fair.

Tyson beats him down in 5-6 rounds. Decent opponent.

Boxrec has him at 11 and he's 4 in the WBO

They are not going to risk fury now he almost has Wlad in his sights , I've seen worse matchups to be fair.

It took 10 rounds to get rid of a "non punching, non Ambitious" Chisora, so a 5-6 round beat down is a bit keen I think.
