Fury looked sharp. The jab was going. His defense, and head movement was impressive. And he switched southpaw effectively. Too bad Schwartz can’t box and got hurt so quickly. I was enjoying the show for what it was.
I didn't think he looked brilliant actually. Watch Fury vs Hammer for a world class performance against a less than world class fighter.
The least you can do against an undermatched opponent is look good , and Fury looked better than good. His jab hasn't been that good in years. I think his jab might have briefly stunned Schwartz in the first.
Schwarz is not even B-level, he is a C-Level fighter at best. Actual B-Level fighters like Breazeale and Chisora would beat Schwarz quite easily but yeah Fury looked amazing beating him.
He's defo improved and sharpened up markedly from Sefer and Pianeta and I would make him the fave to beat Wilder now. I just hope he finds a proper name for September and not a fringe prospect like Schwarz.
I agree, and I'm not a Fury fan. He moved well. He looked sharp. In command of his game old game with some news parts added. When a champion faces an opponent like this, he needs to look good and blow them out. He did that last night. At age 30, Fury has a few more good years left. We can only hope his days of facing Tom Schwarz like opponents are over.

After some more thought I went with C+, and changed the title of the tread. However if the next guy sparks Schwartz early too, I will adjust downward. Point taken!
Fighters like Schwartz let Fury get away with coming into the ring in atrocious condition. If there's a Wilder rematch I'd like Fury get into the same shape he was in vs. Wlad.
I got no problem with a gimme as long as it's sandwiched between two top men. So Wilder-Schwartz-Wilder, for example, is no problem for me.
