Tyson Fury fighting again this weekend!

I couldn't stand this guy from the second he said he was the best HW in the world, and I also haven't liked the stoppages in his fights, particularly the 2nd against the German Zeller, I thought that was one of the most bullshit stoppages I've seen in a while. I wanna see him in with David Price or Derek Chisora in a few fights

I think that the stoppages in the fight against Zeller was fairly reasonable. Zeller was covering up and not firing back, and at this level of fights, the refs are acutely aware of why these guys are there, for the paycheque rather than to fight to the bitter end, and they don't want it to turn into something that could get someone seriously hurt. There was no way back into it for Zeller, and he was in danger of taking a bit of a beating. Price of Chisora might be decent testing opponents towards the end of the year, let him get his feet under him in the pros, and put a few rounds behind him.

As for Swaby, he's a canny operator, and as previously mentioned has the big scalp of Enzo Maccarinelli, and I like the progress in Fury's opponents early on. He's got potential, despite the hype and the anti-hype.

Gotta disagree with you rhun, Zeller was firing back a bit, & actually dropped his gloves because Fury kept hitting him very low, he was complaining to the ref & then the ref stopped it. To me it didn't look like Fury was gonna stop him. Coupled to that, one of my friends was ringside, & told me that Hennessy was screamin at the ref to stop the fight. If it was Germany we'd be suspicious

He's active and doing his best to garner interest with his talk. I think he truly believes he's that good and willing to back that up by calling out more experienced guys. IMO he's not good enough to make it to the top but there eill be good fights out there on the British scene.

For the 30 seconds before the ref stepped in, I didn't see more than two or three come back, and nothing that was going to trouble Fury, and Zeller's head was being moved around a fair bit by Fury's shots.

As for dropping his hands, in a six rounder at this level, you can't let the other guy hit you and not throw back or the ref will step in. Zeller had caught Fury on the chin earlier in the fight, and Fury hadn't flinched, so I don't think there was any other result there apart from a Fury win.

With Hennessy then, I'm not sure if he just thought it should be over, but there was no evidence at all in that fight that he should be worried about his boy getting defeated.

Another quite impressive performance from Fury, took some shots from Swaby and walked straight through them. He's getting in better shape with every fight and looking better in each fight as well. Like Rawlins said during the fight, he will have learnt more from that fight than his previous three fights. Hopefully see him out again in about a month or so.

Good performance by Fury but saw plenty of mistakes there for my man Larry to take advantage of. (He's on the Maloney bill this Friday if anyones watching)

He has improved and Swaby was definitely game. Most impressive thing about Fury is his hand speed for a heavy. You rarely see heavyweights throwing punches in bunches like he does.

I just don't think he's physically strong enough yet to be an elite heavy. That may change as he ages.

Oh yeah..and he has a big mouth for having not achieved much
