Tyson Fury vs Tom Schwarz - 15/7/19 - BT Sports/ESPN - Las Vegas

[Ron Swanson]

Of course the WBO will strip Ruiz, Fury is with Top Rank and the WBO belt is theirs. Fraudulent as fraudulent can be.

Interesting how the promo poster shows Schwartz as a comparative monster next to Fury. Never mind that Fury is almost 4 inches taller.

Boxing hype takes on some interesting forms.

A focused Fury sweeps the floor with this chap. Schwartz ain't no Ruiz.

[TIC]

Another upset would be sweet. Tyson won't take risks

I feel like this fight is purely a yardstick to see whether Fury has any newfound drawing power in the states. His first fight in Vegas against a totally unknown German fighter, it doesnt make a lot of sense. The trouble is, as someone else said, Fury isnt really suited to showcase fights as a non puncher who has been in his share of stinkers. He does look fit and sharp from the little training footage Ive seen, so hopefully he can impress and help his stock.

What a shame if they strip Ruiz, but not surprising if they choose.
@TitoFan LOL, yeah, the ad makes it look like they're the same in height & build.

[Spicoli]

Can't bring myself to fool with espn+ but sort of anticipating this one. It's been interesting watching Fury in the build up, the guys a one man promotional campaign. These app gigs basically come down to if you mind not seeing a fight live and waiting a couple of days.

[El Kabong]

Another top 3 loss would send this division into a tailspin!

Granted it would help AJ but the division as a whole would just look like shit if Fury loses.



Also @ross if you're still around I was fully wrong on Tyson Fury's level of skill and I owe you a million apologies for it, but I had never seen any slickness to him at all, but I admit it, he's quite the James J. Corbett, Gene Tunney, Jack Johnson style heavyweight. I don't like him at all, never will but he's a talented bastard hell I never thought he'd fight again after the break.
