Fury has got some lovely punches in his armour. Nice jab, left hook to the head, right uppercut and left hook to the body.

Very good, and also got out of the way of Belshaw's haymaker hooks.

Fury kind of flinches when under attack, which I'm not so sure about, but he's a good fighter.
That's the one thing we really need to see before we can make any real judgements on the lad is him under a sustained attack, and having to defend. Not the odd one or two shots which Belshaw sneaked through last night, but a flurry of five or six shots four or five times in a round. As was raised by McGuigan I think, he also tends to retreat with his head held away from his opponent rather than tucked in on his chin.

However, so far so good for the big lad, Belshaw should have been a step up in class, but he cruised through it, and those body shots looked really hard.
