    Fury’s power: the empirical facts

    1. 22 year old, 261 lbs Fury rendered the 13-0 Nascimento (235 lbs, dropped him in the 1st) unconscious in the 5th and is the only fighter to KO him cold in 41 fights. Nascimento went on to go the distance with Kuzmin and Chisora among others

    2. 24 year old Fury burst the eardrums of the 35-0 fringe contender Scott (226 lbs) in sparring, one of them with a right hook and Scott stated that he’d never suffered a broken eardrum prior to that. 28-3-1 Vitali title challenger Kevin claimed that Fury hit harder than anyone else he’d faced in 2012

    3. 24 year old, 254 lbs Fury is the only fighter to KO the 2x IBF cruiserweight titlist Cunningham (210 lbs, heavy KD and stayed down for the count in the 7th, never KO’d before or since in 40 fights)

    4. 26 year old, 264 lbs and 260 lbs Fury beat down and retired highly durable, non-shopworn versions of Vitali title challenger Chisora (242 lbs, never quit before or since in 50 fights) and fringe contender Hammer (248 lbs, dropped him in the 5th) in the 10th and 8th rounds respectively while boxing on the backfoot

    5. 31 year old, 273 lbs Fury had the 5 year reigning, 10 consecutive defence, 42-0-1 WBC heavyweight titlist Wilder (231 lbs) legitimately on the canvas three times (twice in the 3rd, once in the 5th) prior to the 7th round TKO, had Wilder bleeding profusely from his left ear and was the only fighter to KO/TKO him in his first 47 fights, doing so twice (238 lbs, dropped him in the 3rd, 10th and 11th). Fury hit Wilder so hard that Wilder accused him of loading his gloves with metallic “egg weights” and publicly accused his longtime trainer (2008-2020) Mark Breland of drugging him

    6. 33 year old, 265 lbs Fury KO'd top 5 ranked contender Whyte (253 lbs) in the 6th round with one punch: a glancing uppercut

    7. Fury often doesn’t commit to his punches and boxes defensively on the backfoot, has been happy to go rounds or the distance to gain experience, match fitness, mitigate risk, reduce damage taken or play possum, and has sometimes gone into fights underprepared

    8. Fury (202 cm.) had 71% stoppage ratio across 28 fights against 215+ lbs opponents prior to 2023: higher than Whyte, Ruiz and Povetkin (as well as Frazier, Norton and Shavers), despite facing higher quality and more durable opposition, and turning pro at 20 after only 35 amateur bouts

    He's more feather brained. Washed when he should be prime due to lifestyle, inactivity and poor attitude.

    Was in the gym today training and a few of the big name pros reflected on the fight and the current crazy state of boxing with the emerging YT scene.

    Francis is a 270 pound iron chinned tank who Fury clearly underestimated. Wilder is a 220 pound at best skinny noodle man with no defense or balance whatsoever.

    Also Fury almost never one punch kos. It took him 150 punches and eleven rounds to stop wilder in fight three. The towel was thrown in the second fight.

    I thought he wore the foam gloves as he thought this would be an easy fight and wanted to save his hands for the potential 23rd.

    Seen a few wilder crazies saying he wore foam gloves cos the Saudis won't let him "cheat", like that country may not always care about such things as human rights but horse hair gloves is where they draw the line

    How come you changed your channel? I remember you posting some stuff a year or so back, where your early videos were focussing on North East hard men. Just moved over to the USA, and fancied a fresh start?

    Anyway, good luck to you!

    Fury was extremely overconfident, undertrained, and sold on the belief that his striking was levels above an MMA champion's.

    "Tyson Fury’s PPV numbers have been leaked for his crossover fight last weekend against Francis Ngannou and they are altogether bad. According to reports, Fury vs. Ngannou did a dismal 11.5K TV pay-per-view buys in the United States and 56,000 on ESPN+ PPV.

    This just in Tyson Fury postpones Usyk fight again, this time due to being impregnated by Facehugger. Fight will only proceed until chestburster comes out of Fury.
