Irish Boxing

You should fight Fitz then..Thats about his level

 

Fury targeting 40-year-old Rogan next rather than the Klitschkos

July 24th, 2011
By Sean McDaniel: Newly crowned unbeaten British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (15-0, 10 KO’s) seems to know his limitations after beating Dereck Chicora (14-1, 9 KO’s) by an impressive 12 round unanimous decision last Saturday night at the Wembley Arena, in Wembley, London, England. Instead of going after IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko, who has already said he would be interested in facing the winner of the Chisora-Fury bout, Fury is eying a fight with 40-year-old Martin Rogan for the Irish heavyweight title.

Following that, Fury wants to defend his British/Commonwealth titles against one of the contenders and then go after European Boxing Union (EBU) heavyweight champion Alexander Dimitrenko. Presumably, the 6’7” Dimitrenko would be a warm-up for Wladimir, because he fights somewhat in the same style as him. Fury dominated a heavy looking Chisora on Saturday night, beating him by the judges’ scores of 117-112, 117-112, and 118-111. Fury had problems in the 2nd round when Chisora opened up with a number of powerful hooks that appeared to have Fury slightly hurt, although he would say that he was never hurt. Fury was forced to hold on slow Chisora down. After that round, Chisora looked gassed out and spent the majority of the remainder of the fight with his back against the ropes fighting only sparingly.
The extra tonnage that the fat looking 261 pound Chisora put on for this fight seemed to have sapped him of energy, as he looked to be trained for only three rounds and not a full 12. Boxing fans and writers wondered what Chisora was thinking by coming into the Fury fight so heavy, especially when the extra 17 pounds of weight that Chisora put on for this fight appeared to be pure fat. In hindsight, Chisora might be kicking himself for coming in so heavy, because he’s usually able to fight hard for an entire fight instead of just two rounds like he was last night. Really, Chisora was a exhausted after the 2nd round and could do little more than throw occasional flurries for the remainder of the fight.
“I just want to do it nice and steady,” Fury said to the BBC Sport. “I’ll go for the Irish title and then defense of the British. Then maybe I can go for Dimitrenko who’s got the European. I’m only just starting off at the moment. People like Carl Froch and Amir Khan and David Haye until recently, are world champions and they’ve achieved more than me.”
Let’s be real here: Fury doesn’t have the power or the jab to beat either of the Klitschkos ever. That’s just not going to happen in this lifetime. Vitali Klitschko is 40 years-old, but I can still see him knocking Fury out t 45. Vitali will retire and Fury will still not be a threat to him. And Wladimir would beat Fury on jabs alone. Wladimir wouldn’t even need to hit Fury with a left hook or a right hand. Fury is too weak and lacks any of jab to fight a long distance war with Wladimir. It’s good that Fury seems to know his limitations, because he wouldn’t be able to compete with the Klitschkos. For that matter, I don’t think Fury can beat David Price from the UK or Dimitrenko. He might be able to beat Dimitrenko, because he’s terribly flawed but it would be a real toss up fight because Dimitrenko is a lot better than Chisora.

Now lads i know iv slagged fitz off a bit but jesus this "article" is just a anti fitz bit.
Cruise seems a nice lad but Fitz has no business fighting him.As said not a big fan but we have to be a least objective.[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47UyselHif0&feature=share[/ame]

 

This match has to be made now. No ducking. No excuses.

I am actually warming to Fitz - he is definitely a bit of a character and I hope he keeps winning.

 

Character? You're allowed like who you like but I don't think threatening to batter random strangers on the internet qualifies as being a character

 

This whole thing is scripted, lads like Cruise shouldn't allow themselves get drawn into some arseholes agenda against another fighter. Darren is a really nice kid but he has peddled a load of bill**** for the interviewer.

 

He gets too much **** imo, he doesnt randomly go around threatening people, some people call him all sorts and talk **** about him. If you are getting **** thrown at you, whether you are a boxer or not, you are only human and can easily type a few words in retort - so what?

 

Scripted or not he says after an eight rounder (i assume against Murtagh) he was promised a shot at all three of fitzs tiltle (titles :rofl)so will fitz at least back that up if cruise beats Murtagh i wonder??????

 

He gets a lot of grief now.

However my dislike of him started when Mush asked him on facebook if he'd fight Spike. He replied with a threat to batter Mush. It was an innocent question about a matchup that is, IMO, a good domestic scrap. Totally uncalled for and the start of his slippery slope to getting involved in all this bollocks.

He's even threatend to show up and Mushs job and give him a hiding. Not the kind of behaviour I expect from anyone with their full mental faculties.

As I said, each to their own. I wasn't for or against him until I heard about his carry on. I just find it very hard to get onboard with him after the way he behaved

 

isnt he the lad the did that fake article?

 

gdarren cruise is brutal and as much as i dont really rate fitz ged box the lugs off cruiser

 

Who are you?

 

I have mixed feelings on that, I dont condone it, but I can understand a bit of online aggression - fact is - he didnt show up at Tony's gaff and give him a hiding. The other thing is I didnt read that comment or anything (if any) leading to it. We can all say things online that we wish we hadnt said, **** happens - I wouldnt hold it against him.

 

By any standards, Darren Cruise is not brutal! Regardless of whether or not you think he'd lose to fitz, and whether or not you like his boxing style; it's outrageous to say he's brutal!!
