Tyson Fury weighs in at 279

[skel1983]

He's looking rubbish against this tomato can. This is a pointless fight and doubtless his upcoming opponents are equally rubbish. How to totally fuck up a career, both by the people managing him and himself not staying in shape. He's only ever going to be domestic level anyway. He'll be on Prizefighter in a few years and when they're doing the promotional group shots for the telly they'll make him stand at the back to try and hide how out of shape he is.

His dad was saying he could beat Wlad rite now if he wanted hahahahahahahahaha only few months ago.

They were also thinking about putting him in against Oliver Mcall on the Froch Taylor fight hahahahahahahaha, cant wait till he gets knocked out!!

....maybe Tyson will KO himself with an uppercut, I am hoping

[superheavyrhun]

Sorry Lyle m'boy, he got a points victory....claiming he injured his right, which he didn't use much after the second round.

Also good to hear the Pogues playing in the background there in Dublin. "Dirty Old Town" never sounded so appropriate....

[El Kabong]

Who did he call out after the fight? You're not a true British Boxer unless you can acheive something mediocre and then make a total ass out of yourself by calling out the best in the world.

I agree. He looked his normal self

When the competition gets stiffer,someone is going to open him up very badly.

The commentators were going on about the right hand, but I think the main thing he needs to work on is his retreat, cause he's usually the taller, he tends to retreat with his chin accessible for the better fighters, so needs to cover up whilst backing off I think.

Right on.Sounds like a good course to take yeah.So many young heavys with big push sellout for the power and neglect the basics of defence.....then when they need it,and they all will at one point,they come up short.He actually moves ok for a huge guy but that left just floats out wide and sort of just turns head rather than upper body.

I agree Al, it's a sad state of affairs when fighters in what's supposed to be the most exciting division are so out of shape. It's bad for these guys' careers and more importantly it's bad for the sport

Although I understand what you mean, I have never understood the whole 'Heavyweight is where it's at' malarky!


As boxing fans, isn't middle/light whelter the best division??

Heavies have for me pissed on their chips, I can't stand seeing guys leaning on each other! I find myself raging at the tele shouting such stuff as..... Its a BOXING match FFS not a test of who can tire who out first


I for one think the lower in weight the better boxers

[El Kabong]

Maybe you're right, but if you gave people the option to see two guys who weigh 154 stand toe to toe and battle it out and two heavyweights stand toe to toe and battle it out then the majority of people would rather see the heavyweights...as great as Gatti-Ward I-III were Bowe-Holyfield I-III is more impressive because it's big guys trading bigger punches.



And AdamGB, STEVE BUNCE, that's the link between Haye and Fury and who is hyping them up.
