Tyson Fury v Sefer Seferi / Flanagan v Hooker - 9/6/18 BT Sports

[Ron Swanson]

I get that he wasn’t going to fight a guy that could challenge him but he’ll probably have sparring partners better than this guy. The fight is useless

Good read on Hooker's prep for Flanagan from Michael Woods at Bad Left Hook




Maurice Hooker is now in his third camp with Terence Crawford, and his crew believes that influence, and Hooker’s overall maturation as an athlete, will come together and put him in the best light possible when he travels to England and seeks to gain the vacant WBO 140-pound title against Terry Flanagan.

I chatted with Hooker and his crew, which included trainer Dave Parra and manager Arnie Verbeek, before another workout session in Colorado Springs, where Team Crawford is getting ready for Bud’s June 9 scrap against Jeff Horn in Las Vegas.
“The first camp I was a sparring partner for Terence,” Hooker told me. “Things I’ve picked up from Crawford, I’ve learned to be patient — it’s been a lot of hard work — and to push each other. The way he trains, he trains hard, he’s always going hard, three times a day.”
Hooker (22-0-3; age 28; from Dallas, Texas) thinks that because of the caliber of work he’s getting in this camp, Flanagan (28 years old), in contrast, could be an easier foe than what he’s been dealing with in sparring.
“I’ve faced guys way tougher than him,” Hooker told me ...

Fury looking fast as fuck on the pads (around 6 mins in) why is he wearing hot pants?

[Master]

Hot pants are for the women fans and Ross.

Tell you what for someone who's 6ft 9" tall and 19 odd stone (coming down from 25 stone) he can move.
He's possibly the most awkward Heavyweight style wise iv'e ever seen, switch hitter, fast jab and that twitchy jerky style and he can just lean all over you if he wants to.
His suspect chin and being put on his ass by a Cruiserweight is what keeps him an unknown quantity because against AJ and Wilder they are gonna land heavy shots on him and it remains to be seen if he can take those Heavy shots from full blown lively young fighters who are of a similar size.
Against either of those two Fury either gets banged out early or he boxes their heads off.

He invited Seferi into the ring yesterday which was strange and to me the whole fight looks pre arranged/scripted

[Memphis]

He looks in good nick, good speed and movement.

I saw some of the Sefer stuff yesterday. Maybe it's his way, but I didn't see anything funny or endearing about a bloke who looked like he was coming over for a city break. Being made a mug of by Fury then filming him like some oily fanboy with a smartphone. Have some self respect man.

I didn't think that he was with Arnie any more, but it is good that he stuck with him.

I can't believe people are paying to watch Fury 'fight' a guy who is 39 years old, a foot shorter and five stone lighter than him ..... a career cruiserweight with a very mediocre record

I could be paid to watch.

Fury has been out for so long and will get a pass on this fight but expect him to pick better opposition for his next few fights rather than go missing again.

[TitoFan]

I think we got Sefer pegged all wrong. Fury swears he's dangerous.

This picture alone has D-A-N-G-E-R written all over it........

[Master]

The bodyguard looks more dangerous he should get in the ring as well and do a tag team.
