Oh, the most-overrated-oh-so-highly-es*oteric-poet who "trained" the dirtiest fighter in the game today is complaining about dirty tactics? Hey, maybe if he makes it rhyme and so poetic that the average fan won't understand the meaning...maybe he'll fool some fools. While swinging a towel and some foam floaties around, of course. Sounds weak to me.
Sour grapes. His guy lost, tough tit. Both guys did a lot of clinching. This type of moaning makes Richardson look like a whiny hypocrite who's a sore loser. The forearm was ugly, no doubt about it, but the KO was undeniable, and Cunningham was noticeably stunned from the body shot just beforehand. Fury might be a clumsy oaf who's not particularly fast, but at 6'9 and 254lbs his shots are clubbing blows. As for Cunningham talking about being 'a little guy'; that didn't stop him taking the fight. He was doing well, and I had him at least a couple of points up going into the 7th, but it takes only one punch... Fury is a KO waiting to happen IF he continues to be complacent. All this talk about him having a glass chin; yeah it's not granite, but he went down from a decent punch landed because of his own stupidity and openness. It was obvious Cunningham was looking for the big overhand right. He's not the first guy to be knocked down, and won't be the last.
Its laughable Richardson of all people is whining about dirty tactics. Still remember Cunningham thumbing Troy Ross in a fight he was struggling in to get a bs stoppage victory.
hes just defending his boy. the no excuse approach is better. but who does that. i was so happy when trout accepted defeat like a man and gave credit where credit is do, wich he did last night with the canelo fight. typical comment from a coach of fighter after a fight. donaire a couple weeks ago was bad he was like im not makin no excuses but my shoulder needs surgery and i was struggling to make weight.
Richardson is right. Fury should be disqualified. Pushing after round 1. Using his ellbows before the KO punsh.
He also said that he respects him for it because he did what he had to do and would fight like a maniac himself in the same position to win.
