Was I the only one who did a big fat belly laugh when they saw the title of this thread.

What a stupid fight to make. This is the pits of 'good' matchmaking.

I feel the same too. Hell I didn't even know Rahman was still fighting.

we have clarendon leisure centre in salford, i wouldnt say the hall is big enough for a ring tho

they could maybe do it on the all weather pitch outside

maybe thats why they decided to have it at the MEN, much bigger and just a mile or two down the road

lol I was over synical I guess. I figuered this was the headline event

[El Kabong]

Fury should win easily enough...Rahman still has enough power to be dangerous, but his hands are too slow and he's got no defense. Fury just needs rounds and he needs to tune up his style, lots of work to be done before the eventual Chisora fight.

[greynotsoold]

There's three things that Fury does often enough that at some point they will haunt him. First,, he has a tendency to lean up on his left foot when he jabs, and Rahman is (was?) a pretty good right hand puncher. Second, sometimes he throws a nice, short straight right, but other times he waves it, and a good counter to that is another right hand. Third, he like to throw a right uppercut, but when he does he just drops his right hand and leaves himself wide-open.
Rahman fought three times last year, weighing 250+ each time. If he tries to win, he can, but I'm not sure he's being brought over to win.

want me to get you a ticket?

[Fenster]

I didn't even realise Rahman had fought since the Wlad fight. He looked far too heavy against Klitschko, however the fact he's scored three stoppage wins since, albeit against club fighters, weighing the same as did against Wlad, makes the fight a bit more interesting.

Lofty isn't a devastating puncher. Maybe if Rahman tries for the first few rounds it will be interesting...(now falling into promoters trap )

[erics44]

i think its 4 KO wins since

i reckon this is a decent fight, could go either way

you wouldnt expect a half decent rahman to have any trouble with macdermott

[Dark Lord Al]

For me Fury is an arm puncher who hits like a girl - has no stamina - and works weekends selling lucky heather.

I was thinking that. If it took lanky a thousand rounds to beat fat John then surely even an old fat Rahman is not a pushover. Although at least fat John tried to win, that's not certain with a fat Rock.

.....if he followed through like he was supposed to he'd run the very real risk of knocking himself out with one of his uppercuts

there is also the risk that he does a better job than wlad

all these old timers wlad has fought seem to be easier nights for other heavyweights

another one might shake his nerves even more before his big night

and we all know he's already a little scared
