There's videos on YouTube analyzing Otto Wallin's cherry picked opponents taking dives so this guy never had to really learn how to rubble for real... but still did this kinda damage to the Gypsy Batman!!
Fury looked over-trained to me. But, more generally, I think everyone has long since forgotten Tyson is hugely boring in the ring. The post-Klitchko breakdown and renaissance have taken focus from something we all knew before - that Tyson can't knock the skin off a rice pudding, and that his fights are usually 12 round affairs, where 34 minutes are chess-match snoozefests. I appreciate that much more in other weight divisions personally. Which is why I'm Fury fan outside the ring, but not in it. If he retired my reaction would be "fine. what's for dinner?"
The fact that Fury landed 179 out of 651 is telling. He hasn't had that high of a punch land/output since Chisora. That was years ago. Taking into account punchstats can be off by a few, still paints a picture that Fury was in good enough shape to not just get hit more times than Wilder, Klitschko or Pianetta & keep on going, but again: he finally won a fight landing over 100 punches in 12 rounds. It has been awhile since the HW divsion has had a winner landing close to 200 punches. Punch stats suggest: 179 out of 651 Wallin 84 out of 327 vs Wilder 86 out of 351 vs Klitschko 107 out of 612 vs Pianetta Good fight for Fury. Had he been cut by Wilder, he may have panicked. But now he knows what he is capable of handling in a rematch with a man he called the fiercest puncher in the HW division aka Bronze Bomber.
Is there some rule that says we can't mock Fury but we can mock Wilder, Joshua and Ruiz Jr for some reason?! Like mentioned in this thread before, Fury himself has the biggest mouth of all of them, mocking them himself, and then fighting bottom of the barrel opposition himself and now looking bad in the process. You can't come up with the excuse of Wilder getting KD'd years ago and looking bad against Molina Szpilka and Washington, because Fury has been outboxed, knocked down and looked bad multiple times in his career. He definitely should have lost McDermott 1, he got dropped badly by non puncher Pajkic, dropped and outboxed by USS before eventually mauling him down in illegal fashion. And his comeback fights have been very low level, besides the Wilder fight and he looked bad in a couple of them. And on top of that we get all that lineal shirt, and the went to ..... backyard to outjab them. It's normal to go to your opponent's backyards when they have the belts and you have nothing. And somehow an excuse to stink out the joint too, like with Haye back in the day. Even if he had dominated Wallin he still deserved mockery for his level of opposition, and with this result even more. Certainly with him mocking the other top names in the division for theirs, who almost anyone would agree were better as what he's fighting himself.
Just because three corrupt guys put different numbers on a piece of paper doesn't change the FACT that Fury clearly, obviously and absolutely won
Fury was an absolute sucker for that overhand right for sure, but that was pretty much all Cunningham brought to the table, Furys combos to head and body were a lot more impressive than Cunningham throwing a hail mary over and over again, once it stopped working Cunningham was already all in. Now I realise how I'm coming across and I am in no way saying Fury is or should be immune to criticism, that he has no weaknesses or anything, but I remember the fight well and the better boxing was coming from Fury despite the KD and subsequent hairy moments
Just because you, an obvious fan boy, want to ignore the fact that his record has a draw on it, clearly, obviously and absolutely means you are not objective. Your opinion will never change that fact. Ever. Full stop. Jesus I really like Fury but his fan boys are the worst I’ve seen since Mike Tyson’s.
A fanboy lol. No mate, I have two eyes and watched them fight, I know who won. Just because Phil Edwards says it was a draw because of a backhander, doesn't make it so, the same way Terry O'Connor saying Fury beat John McDermott in the first fight because of a personal grudge with McDermotts dad doesn't make it so. I saw John McDermott beat Tyson Fury, and I saw Tyson Fury beat Deontay Wilder, you can take that fanboy **** elsewhere
