    1. He'll knock him out most likely. McDermott does not have a lot, his skills are reasonable but he's too afraid to use them. He fights timid, probably after what Skelton did to him and I could easily see the same happening here.

    2. I'm not a huge beleiver he's a world class fighter in the making. I like his handspeed, his variety, his jab when he uses it. However, he stills looks awkward and unco-ordinated, he still has very little defence when a guy actually tries to hit him except leaning back. His power looks mundane. Question marks over whether he'll ever be in 12 round shape. Maybe he's a guy like Povetkin that looks horrible but is in shape, but it is at the least a question mark right now.

    3. I think he can win the British title, perhaps as we speak. Wouldn't be surprised if he won a Euro strap either, but as it stands he'd struggle with the best fighters, and might never win a world title if the division improves.

    He hasnt been doing himself any favours by calling out Mike Perez after he found out Perez was injured!

    Perez wants a crack at Fury when hes back fighting later this year.

    I doubt Hennessy will make the fight though...

    Apparently his plans are English/Irish/British/Commonwealth/European/WBA in that order. How long you reckon that'll take? British by end of next year, then possibly Europe and World the year after? I honestly can't see much bothering him at domestic, if he sorts his defence out and works behind the jab he could go a very long way.

    he should and will beat mcdermott

    to early to tell how far he'll go, initially i liked what i saw with the view to him growing and improving however recently i've been having doubts about him, he has a lot of bad habits and just looks awful at times, his conditioning doesn't seem to be improving which is a real worry and if anything its getting worse, conditioning cannot be undermined and its an insight to a fighters mind for me, he will need all the ingredients put in for him to go far (perfect coach, matchmaking etc)

    he has potential with a lot of things to iron out, we'll just have to wait and see

    He gives me the impression he would'nt handle a shot to well. Looks to concerned about whats coming back at him,which has been **** all to date. Not a fan, but i think Chisora would give him plenty of problems.

    Yep, he seems worried when he even THINKS a shot might be on its way and just either tilts or turns his head away as if he's of scared getting hit in the face.

    I would be concerned about his defence,you can only rely on the lean back so much, even if you are 8 foot tall.

    Also his power would seem to be ordinary at best.

    On the plus side, he has pretty fast hands and lets em go in bunches...

    The greatest mystery to me is where in the hell do they pick Fury's opponents from?Is there a "tomato can" book of losers?Why do all his "opposition" seem to be 100 pounds overweight and bald?
    Pathetic and he is fooling know one but himself.:dead

    He will be laying tarmac in a year or two and Flint will tell us he saw him in Cardiff laying a new drive for his aunty Nina.

    No further than British title level - mark my words.
