    He had clearly not trained well and had come to the back yard of a fully focused champion who had trained hard. Let's not make out that was an easy fight, out of Cunningham's 5 losses going into that fight 4 were by split decision, some were very dodgey, he was a 2x cruiserweight champion and Fury did what he had to do.

    I agree that Cunningham is still a good win, but Fury should avoid Waldo as long as he can. He will get his clock cleaned terribly if he fights Klit

    I really like Fury but it was pretty obvious he was the far inferior boxer last night. He persevered by putting his 45 lbs extra flesh on Cunningham's shoulders and wearing him into submission. That's the way it goes but there isn't any "greatness" in the guy.

    Fury was **** last night, terrible to be honest.

    After the Johnson fight I thought he had improved, grown-up and developed a more professional attitude. He hasn't. I was beginning to warm up to him, but the haters seem to be right: He is a KO waiting to happen with his clownish antics, zero defense and awful footwork.

    It was a great fight for sure. Very entertaining.

    But let us remember that Cunningham shouldn't have been nearly as competitive as he was given size and age differential considering Fury's hype. Let alone scoring a hard KD.

    And Fury did fight dirty with elbows, pushing, and holding.

    Still, the best win of his career and one of the twenty best victories at HW anyone could have gotten. I was impressed and entertained enough to bump Fury up my radar.

    Tyson Fury can't box to save his life. All he did last night is using his size to win the fight. Good luck doing that against someone with his own size :think

    What impressed me is that he wasn't at his best, didn't bring his skills to the game and still toughed it out to get a win over a great opponent.

    Let's not forget a guy Cunningham beat, Marco Huck, moved up and gave Povetkin everything he could handle.

    with a 44 pound advantage you are still starting posts about him defensively

    No he was ****. I'm surprised that people thought he was going to be good or something?

    I watched his fights since his debut and I never thought he'd even get this far!

    his cockiness has caught up to him- getting dropped by a CW with a 39% KO ratio

    his boxing skills looked inferior to USS, terrible footwork, all in all poor fundamentals

    I felt it was always a fight Fury was going to look bad in, at least he got the TKO. He needs to stop clowning around as much if he wants to go any further but I feel that he might have hit his limit here and will stay around this level and pick up a loss or two in the next couple of years.
