Really pleased for him. The amount of crap he was getting pre fight was just so disrespectful. Great corner last night.
Can’t fault him, he said all the right things and consistently told Fury to be patient and stay out of range. I particularly liked at the end of the 4th when he said it was clear that there were opportunities to hurt Wilder but not to take them yet. He’s earned his “10%” by getting Fury in shape and doing a good job last night.
I've been saying for months now, people need to give this guy a chance. He's done a great job with Fury, every step of the way, and lord knows it been a long hard road.
I really didn't like the way he was all smiles inbetween rounds 11-12. He seemed like it was all in the bag, job done... and then all of a sudden Fury gets put to sleep.
He didn't have to do anything. His work was done before the fight, gets Fury in decent shape. Fury is a far better boxer than Wilder, so all it was going to boil down to was avoiding the right, but he got caught twice.
He did say everything right in the corner. Even before the 12th he told him what to do correctly but it all went out the window. My god his voice is annoying though.
Ricky Hattons performance of turning up on Friday, getting hammered and mumbling in the background between rounds was less impressive.
Made up for the kid. He ‘gets’ Tyson Fury & knows how to motivate him to get the best out of him. Separately, according to Steve Bunce, Fury’s team once again had to put their foot down and force the removal of an extra couple of inches of canvas.
