fury v cunningham

[erics44]

can anyone see an upset?

cunningham is vastly experienced at world title level

and fury isnt

ive seen this type of step up and slip up lots of times

is it worth a punt?

This is Cunninghams 1st fight against a true heavyweight. I fill the size difference will be too great and I don't think he'll last the distance. I wouldn't back it at the 4/1 that's currently available

[Bobthepen]

No. Cunningham is tailor made for Fury, and is just an opportunity for him and his management team to claim after the victory that Fury is the greatest fighter ever via the seven degrees of Kevin Bacon.

I can see the potential for an upset

[Dark Lord Al]

I live in hope for one.

I'm almost 100% certain that Cunningham is a better boxer than anyone Fury has face before. He'll be in great shape, which none of Fury's opponents have been really. He'll more than likely let punches go in a calculated and skillful manner, unlike almost ALL of Fury's previous opponents. I think Cunningham will beat Fury, by UD.

Lets have a quick look back at Fury's recent opponents.

Kevin Johnson
Vinny Maddalone
Martin Rogan
Neven Pajkic
Nicolai Firtha
Derek Chisora
Marcelo Nascimento

Chisora is the best of them all IMO and was WAY out of shape against Fury. The rest are absolutely NO WHERE NEAR WORLD LEVEL. To go from these opponents, to then fighting in Madison Square Garden, although only against Cunningham, is a big step up. Fury is getting DECKED sooner or later, doubtful by Cunningham. For a guy that gets on the back foot against someone like Johnson who isn't even letting punches go, god knows what he'll do when faced with a seriuos challenge. Probably be jumping the top rope. I actually hope he beats Cunningham and we see one of the Klits absolutely smash the dude in to next week. Failing that, seeing him in with Tony Thompson and getting floored would almost be as much fun.

Fury has to take the fight to Cunningham if he wants to win. He most definitely has to show USS his power right away.
Fury is a white heavyweight from the UK who will be seen as protected and will be taken lightly, so he has to take it to Cunningham.
Cunningham is a decent boxer and fights well moving backwards. I haven't seen much of Fury.
Fury has my vote already, he's stepping up, moving out of his comfort zone and trying to give the fans what they want, fights that mean something.
You should be proud of Fury, I'd take one Fury over five Wilders. Good luck to Fury and Cunningham, may the best fighter win.
YOU HAVE A MAN ON YOUR HANDS!
