    Fury went down because he was squared up, he was not hurt at all, came back and knocked Cunningham out......................the thing is that after this fight Fury will fight a rematch with Chisora. Wilder is ranked #3 by WBC for not fighting anyone ranked at all. Wilder refused to fight Chisora or Thompson...........I think Fury can eventually win a title. I am actually more impressed with Hughie, only 19 years old, would knock Wilder out now...........

    This is a better fight and it should be entertaining.

    Im a big Fury fan but im not massively impressed with Hughie, hes a good boxer but i think a bit more pop in his punches will see him do well in the division.. Maybe he may develop into a puncher but i definately think he nedds this to happen..

    I've been a fan of Joey Abell since 2007 and followed the ups and downs of his career including his losses to Andrew Greeley, Al cole and more recently to Arreola, Oquendo and Pulev. Make no mistake, Abell has serious punching power but his achilles heel has always been his chin which has let him down on a number of occasions.

    I'm very surprised Team Fury have agreed to fight Abell as even though he's not world class or has a realistic shot of winning, he does have that one punch knockout power to take out a Heavyweight like Fury who has a rather questionable chin.

    This is a far better fight then the Basile fight and definately has intrigue involved especially as Fury is coming back after nearly a year out of the ring and might be suffering from ring rust. Also Abell is coming off a career best performance against Pulev and will be up for the fight and trying to shock the world.

    As a fan of both fighters i'm looking forward to a great fight between two warriors.

    Make no mistake about it, Joey Abell is the hardest punching Heavyweight that Tyson Fury has faced in his career.

    Even in his losses to Arreola and Pulev, he did manage to catch them with some good hard shots that might have troubled someone with a less solid chin like Fury.

    Abell will have a shot of pulling off an upset in the first couple of rounds of this fight, after that his chances will be very slim indeed.

    Apart from his Pulev and Arreola fights, Abell is probably most famous for this fight.

    Thanks for your input Terminator.Abell looks in shape,and also to be able{no pun intended}to punch.Only the Argentinians tattoos were impressive.This looks like the kind of opponent they should have got for Tyson in the first place.Now all we need is for him to show up.Fury before the 5th.

    i suspect you're right, but if either caught fury with the shot uss did, neither would he.
