    this is a much better fight. Joey Abell can bang and gave Pulev a few problems before Pulev finished him.

    The "Dynamite Fisted" Abell? My word.

    Dropped Pulev the other month. Better fight in all honesty, Tyson to stop Joey in 4th.

    Yes! Abell will give Fury some much needed rounds hopefully, although a journyman hes much better than Omar Basile.

    more of a slip on Pulevs part, still a much better opponent than Omar Basile.....

    Agreed. Tyson needs to be on his toes with Joey. It's not a gimme he will give it a go.

    this guy can bang going by his record, only seen hilights here and there of him. 28 knockouts out of 29 wins. Fury's chin is shakey so Abel could present some problems if he can find Tyson's chin.

    Well he beat Emerson Chasing Bear in four so he has a shot I guess. Abell is probably on the level of Firtha who gave a less experienced Fury trouble.

    What do you know about Emerson Chasing Bear mate?I don't know anything but Im guessing he's a Native American.If he IS as good as Firtha he will definitely be a better opponent than the original,which neither of our top promoters have managed to achieve in a long long time.

    Forgot to add that if it actually ends up being Abell in the opposite corner theres at least a chance that Tyson will get what Peter said he wanted for him,a few rounds.Id guess at the same amount he gave Pulev instead of the one he looked like getting.

    He needs the rounds, will do him good. Tyson fury is growing on me for some reason, feel slightly dirty even typing that. He will be aiming for 6-9 rounds you would think.

    But Ive got a feeling that Abell,if he is the opponent,will come to fight and make Tyson fight also.Plus Tyson himself will be fired up for this,particularly after the layoff and letdowns.Be surprised if it goes nine.But I agree it would do him good.
