I feel the German was decent for a 2nd fight - had it been his 10th fight I would be a bit sceptical. Audley would be ideal for his next fight, the guy doesn't have any heart and needs to turn it in. A KO loss would do nicely!
The mainpage article says Fury will fight again in a month. Good to see such an active pace. His opponentwas, in my opinion, a very ballsy choice for a mere second pro fight. VERY ballsy move. But, it paid off. It looks like Fury is starting to get more attention that most young up and comers get after ten fights. As has been said, I think his size, marketable looks, and family with a history of fighting, as well as his having such a cool name.............he's gonna get a growing amount of press coverage with each win. And if he can pack on some muscle and become more intimidating with more upperbody muscle, he'll become that much more marketable. All other things being equal, a fighter that looks powerful, impressive, and professional, sells better than one who is soft and pudgey.
He won a bronze medal in the world amateur junior championships, and has fought for England and Ireland at senior level. He looks like a terrific prospect.
I hope Zeller sticks around. That guys an awesome character. On another note, Mike Perez also won last night. :smile
Also he won the British Amateur Super-Heavyweight title last year but didnt get sent to the olympics. The guy who did (David Price) got to the semis. Beaten by the Gold medallist. Which mustve been rather gutting for Fury....
He's certanly got everyone talking about him, he looks to have loads of potential. He comes across as a nice guy aswell in his interviews. Hope he does well for himself which I think he will.
im the baddest young heavyweight in game right now.. give me my crown, king me Rainman Elijah The REAL MCCALL
His handspeed looked excellent and i like how much he threw the uppercut. However, his defence looked somewhat poor (outside of his height) and stamina may be an issue. But Zeller was quite a risky fight for a 20 year old with 2 fights and he did what he had to do, in spectacular fashion. He reminds me a very little bit of Vitali Klitschko actually, he didn't have big one-punch knockout power, but very heavy hands, more handspeed (youth) and an akward style. I'm looking forward to see him again.
On a sidenote, Tyson Fury was 8 pound lighter in his 2nd fight than he was in his debut. So he does obviously put some work behind his career. I thought he looked good. I liked his big arsenal of punches. He is 20, if he gets trained properly, he could be something.
the guy he fought was pretty good, 20 KO's in 21 fights so he had some power, although he didn't beat many good fighters. Still, a very touch fight for your 2nd pro fight. He was a decent amatuer and nearly made it to the Olympics, but lost to the far more experienced in the trials David Price who then went on to win Bronze, so he has some peidgree. He's also from a family of gypsy bare-knuckle fighters and his dad was a decent British-level heavyweight himself. So he literally has some pedigree, his family are known all over the UK and Ireland for being tough bare-knuckle fighters. Here's a 8 minute documentary on Barley Gorman, a gypsy boxing champion related to Tyson Fury, and this should give you an idea of what these people are about. They live and breathe fighting.

There's a lot of talent for fighting in that family.
