    Good fight by heavy standards, when Chisora came out swinging like a featherweight after lying dormant on the ropes for the best part of a round - epic! Really thought he might do it there.

    I liked the channel five presentation - an introduction of the fighters to the viewers, an interview beforehand. These things are important to get new fans intrigued in the match up. The commentating was also decent and positive.

    It was a good fight, I picked fury by tko beforehand, I think furey loses his power after a few rounds. If he can get in even better condition and work on his horrible defensive flaws then he could be a force on the HW scene.... he's only young he's got time but with a top trainer its definitely possible.

    PS WTF was going on with that wacko Jesus ****!

    Im surprised at how bad Chisora was and how good Fury was. Delighted for Fury. Chisora is lucky his two fights with Klitschko were called off cause he would have been killed.

    He would have had a good bloody try though if the Fury fight is anything to go by.

    Furey is too confident in the ring..... I just hope that he can correct his defense before stepping up to world level because a KO loss will be heading his way if he continues like that. He keeps turning away when a punch is heading his way, that's 1 major flaw!

    He also needs to learn how to punch properly, his technique is horrific at the moment. He's a big lad and should be able to bang fairly well but his action takes all the power out of his shots and just wears him out; another half dozen fights or so against a decent level of opponent and we'll see what he's made of.

    Talk of fighting Klitscho next is insanity.

    I know, there doesn't seem to be much fluidity in his punches they seem very awkward and he doesn't twist with his punches to get full power, I noticed a lot of them he threw tonight where arm punches and lacked leverage.

    I'm more than quite happy with just watching the boxing myself, I don't quite understand the clamor or SKY Sports presenters.

    There were a fair few where his body was literally stationary. Hes a big unit if he can improve that and his defence which is dire he'll do well. Gotta remember he is only 22 and has an incredible name in a weak division, the world is his oyster. His foot work was pretty shocking aswell when he got hit it looked like he was hurt but i think some of them was just that his balance was so poor.

    ALL that said ive got alot of time for him now and a few casuals who started off calling him pikey etc. at the end were big fans.

    hmm.. im not sure if it was the same without having 9 or so people to present, interview, punditry, commentate shows just how amateur channel 5 is

    Fury needs to get Manny Steward on board to iron out his flaws but from what I hear he is happy with his uncle Hughie.
