Tyson Fury - Derick Chisora fight thread

[rjj tszyu]

It was a very entertaining fight but both mens levels are way below world level IMO. I think Price is the best of the upcoming Brits and I'd have him to beat both men very easily. Fury looked in the best shape I have seen him in but he was still nowhere near looking like a world class athlete like you need to be to be competitive. As for Chisora I actually fancied him right upto the weigh in, then when I saw what he weighed I knew he would get beaten, he should be ashamed of himself.

I havent seen much of Price but have heard his chin is a bit too delicate for him to be thinking of anything beyond British level

Tyson didnt look a puncher but that was more down to inexperience and not giving himself space to throw the punches. One good thing is, both fighters showed they can at least fight for 12 rounds, even if they out of shape and both took some punches.

Also, Tyson fought McDermott after only 9 months as a pro. Price will be fighting McDermott after 2 and a half years as a pro

Mcdermott beat Fury in the first fight no doubt. We'll be able to compare those fights soon enough.

Thats my point though. Tyson was a complete novice when they fought the first time, hed only had 8 fights and was a pro only 9 months. When he fought him just 6 months later he dropped him 3 times and stopped him.

Its taken Price 2 and a half years to get to the same point. Hes not progressing any where near as fast as Fury.

i think the fury mcdermott fight was close too

you probly wont but if you do watch it again there are 3 or 4 rounds where mcdermott doesnt throw a punch
