Fury boxed well but proved he doesn't have top-level power

A real heavy (Price, Wlad) would have knocked Maddalone cold. Fury was landing at will but failed to knock Maddalone out cold. He has time to improve, but it wont be enough.

 

Isn't Fury like 30?

 

He's 23

 

:deal

 

Sorry mistook him for Price, Price is like in his late 20's

 

Fury didn't 'box' well, although he looked better than usual, that's not saying much. If he really thinks he is the greatest heavyweight since Ali he needs to fight some real opponents

 

Yeah, but Wlad only really has the 1,2 and that's it! He's got the power, but Fury has the type of power to wear you down, along with combination punching and speed.

 

but wlad would beat the sh*t out of fury, so it doesnt matter

 

He's still 23, which is extremely young for a heavyweight in this era. He doesn't need to rush to fight the Klitschkos, but he probably will anyway.

 

First time I've seen Fury, and I kind of liked his style. Not ready for Wlad yet, but at least he went out there throwing punches in bunches, which is pretty rare among todays heavies. Hell, Thompson didn't throw one good punch the entire fight. We should be glad we have a heavy out there willing to go out there punching.

 

Smoger woulda been tonguing Maddalone in the 1st rd vs Tony Thompson:yep

 

You forgot to mention cuddling and holding, even a bit of fondling in there (the steroids be fukin with his estrogen levels!)

 

atsch

 

Fury DOES have powe, i know nascimento isn't anything special but when you can turn a 240lb man's lights out with a single shot you DO have power

It's Fury's technique thats the problem, he arm punches far too much.

That said his power is getting better as his body matures

 

You dont need power to be a good boxer or a champion. Power is a plus but there are many guys who cant hit hard who have done well. Fury has a great left hook to the body.
