Well we can't expect a longtime know Wlad lover to give Fury any credit. Even if Fury beat Wlad you Wlad lovers would find an excuse like you do everytime Wlad gets beat.
No matter how good you believe Cunningham is he is still a cruiserweight who can't punch and knocked down a guy 44 pounds heavier than him. Tyson Fury is a bum so get over it.
I'm sorry but Fury's chin is vintage china. He was levelled by a Canadian bum no one has ever heard of and now by feather duster Cunningham, a tiny guy with minsicule KO ratio most of them early on in his career, who has no business hurting Fury at all. This is just further verification of his weak chin. I also think Fury looked absolutely amateurish in the final few rounds, jumping around in the ring like an idiot and swinging wild for the fences like it was a celebrity boxing match. Very ugly stuff from him, especially from a guy who's touted to have good skills and technique. Ultimately he managed to connect in a messy clinch, but he's still a KO waiting to happen and any legit puncher will put this guy to sleep on the first connect.
Been on the Fury bandwagon since the beginning, but it really is time to start fighting some bigger boys if he intends to get in there with Wladdy. Grant? Tye Fields? Ustinov? Briggs? Mcline? They are all available. Nice that Hughie is out there now too.
Honestly, I felt bad for Steve after watching that fight. He did everything he could've, and just got worn down and beaten up for his efforts. Still, let's not get it twisted- Steve is a classy fighter and I thought he beat Adamek (who was at least a fringe HW contender at that point) the last time around. Whether one likes the way Fury fought or not, knocking out Cunningham at this stage of development counts for something. Tyson's still got plenty to work on, but it's clear he's at least taking his conditioning more seriously. Next, he's got to work on that ring IQ. Just because you can be reckless fighting a smaller man doesn't mean it's smart to do.
Thank you for your contribution, next time do not act so but hurt over your brother getting brutally KTFO:rofl
this. Also, many of Fury's fans claim he has deceptively good speed. I'm still waiting to see any evidence of this.
Cause you've seen that so many times here on ESB right? Wlad getting beaten and his fans making excuses
He is my brother because I am black? Touching and don't be angry because your white brothers have to fight black fighters who are 50 pounds smaller than them and still get their big dumb white ass knocked down.
Wlad hasn't lost in nearly a decade, genius. Derrick, you have been the funniest poster for at least a decade though.
How is Cunningham a "genuine world level opponent"? He lost his last two fights at CW, then beat a 21W 14L journeyman at HW, then lost a controversial SD to a shot Adamek. That puts him at world level in the HW division? Please :deal Fury should have obliterated Cunningham without much trouble, but instead he went life and death with a feather-fisted CW that he outweighted by 45 lbs. That is very telling. We all know Fury will be in deep waters against any live HW opponent and so know himself and his management.
Fury looked plain awful. Pulev will bust him up for sure. Wlad? Fury won't land a single meaningful punch on Wlad and will be lying in the heap in the middle of the ring by mid rounds.
Did we Watch the same fight? I really like Fury but what I saw was an outclassed prospect who managed to turn the fight around by plunging down his 45 Pounds of extra flesh hard on his opponent's shoulders until he tired him out. Credit to Fury for being the first to stop Cunningham but he just does not have the athlectic ability to reach the pinnacle of the division. Fury is a fighting man and I enjoy watching him but he doesn't have a prayer against a guy like W. Klitschko.
