    The toughest test for Fury is how he copes with the occasion,away from home headlining MSG.its alot of pressure but if he deals with that,relaxes in the ring gets behind an aggressive jab and provide educated pressure mixing in some nice bodyshots then he should win.

    I can't believe the low IQ of some members here who think Fury will coast this just because of his size. There was a heavyweight even bigger than Fury. His name was Valuev and we all know how he blew away 'Cruiserweight' David Haye!

    Cunningham has braved the likes of Adamek and Marco Huck while having never been knocked out. He could easily pull a decision win if he uses his speed and fights intelligently dipping in and out. Remember Fury is the one who is untested here.

    Still, I want Fury to win this!

    Tough as in he wont be able to land as many punches as he wants because of Cunningham's head movement
    But not tough as in any chance of Fury losing

    Steve USS Cunningham does not have the athleticism, speed, or power of David Haye, and not quite the technically ability in my opinion.

    This fight will be over in 1-4 rounds.

    Tyson Fury KO.

    He compared Valuev to Fury and Cunningham to Haye
    He didn't even deserve a reply

    I think the fight will start around 9:45pm or 9:50pm. Channel 5 like to make it feel like a film montage, last time they had Tyson singing and playing piano with Kevin Johnson. And for the fight with Rogan they had him, Martin and Martin's kids hanging around some church in Belfast.

    Channel 5 pre-fight build ups are strange. :huh

    I don't think Cunninghams lost a clear cut decision yet, Fury's pretty big for him though. He could have trouble with him, Cunningham's got a lot more high level experience even if it is at cruiserweight

    I stand corrected it was a tough fight for Tyson Fury, and what a effort! What a immense effort Steve USS Cunningham gave! That guy came to fight, that was a genuine fight! Giving away weight and height, Steve USS Cunningham really brought some fight!

    Pound for pound i kind of agree with Nazim Richardson now..? There's allot of big guys out there winning, 80% because they are big. There's a civil war going on at heavyweight right about now, the old school heavyweights vs the super-heavyweights.

    Tyson Fury can fight! boxing and fighting are two totally different things, what Tyson Fury has is that he can fight! He's not quite the athlete of Wladimir or Vitali Kiltschko but..? the guy can fight.
