Fury Impressed The Crap Out Of Me

he lacks alot of power and i wasnt that impressed with his skills..even his footwork was alot to be disired i mean chisora fought only in straight lines and was pretty terrible if we r honest.....manny dosnt train fury....fury only spent 2 weeks in a training camp with wlad and manny

 

He won because he had the reach and height advantage, he stuck his chin out in the air and closed his eyes when punches were coming over the top his way.

Chisora is a fat slob who thought one punch would be enough against a slow lumbering giant, had he put something behind his overhand right he might of knocked Fury the **** out, somewhat similar to what Tim Witherspoon did to giants like Eklund.

The difference is, Tim Witherspoon was a fat slob who had boxing skills, whereas Chisora pretty much is just a fat slob.

 

You´re easily impressed.

Fury´s defense is non existant.

No foot work, no upper body movement.

Fragile boxing mentality. When fighting he seeks approval from his entourage. His focus is not completely in the fight and he payed for it a few times tonight. I think Fury is a fairly insecure person and this may be a liability in the ring as soon as he steps up.

The reason he won is because he faced a guy who is very raw and not very intelligent in the ring.

 

He looked alot better than other fights ive seen him in but he still looked like a fighter whose only had 4 or 5 fights in his career.

I think hes got a bit of power in him but his shots were being wound up by 2 centimetres and were pitter patter. He could of put alot more power into his shots when Chisora was just coverin up savin what little energy he had left.

As a prospect he has really not come on at all. With his dad out the way he MAY start to take this game a bit more seriously. I hope so.

 

Completely agree. However I think that his speed, workrate and stamina is quite good for a boxer his size. And he lacks power. He hit Chisora with everything he had and didnt hurt him seriously.

His views on the upcoming fight between Tyson Fury and Dereck Chisora:

“

This content is protected

think that unlike most people’s expectations, that Tyson Fury’s a very talented guy. We look at him as a big, oversized, very cocky kid. He’s only 22, but he does have skills. Just the fact that both of these guys have the mindset of winners, I think this is going to be one of the best heavyweight fights. Even though it’s not marketed and there is no one doing a lot of excessive hype the way Haye did for his recent fight with Wladimir, this is the heavyweight fight that I want to see myself. I know both guys personally. They’re both very strong-willed guys much in the make-up of Ali and Joe Frazier. This is what makes good fights, not so much the skill-level but the mindset. I think it’s going to be an extremely good fight. I know most people are picking Chisora and probably because of his more professional preparation when compared to Tyson, who in this case I think is training at home in the basement or the backyard with his uncle or whatever. Nevertheless, Tyson’s sheer physical size, and he’s got a good chin, good stamina, and good punch output, also. I think those factors, and being at 6’9” compared to about 6’1” is going to be a big problem for Dereck to overcome. I may be a little crazy, but I give a slight edge to Tyson in this fight mainly because of the physical size and he has good stamina.”

Sounds an awful lot like Tomasz Adamek, wouldn't you say?

 

I thought he looked really bad to be honest ..

Dreadful technique, sloppy, amateurish, seemingly clueless a lot of the time. His punches look terrible, he has no idea about range or timing, his movement is atrocious, I could go on all day here.

The good thing about this fight though was that it was a brawl and the casuals would love it - it was on terrestrial TV so hopefulyl we'll start to see boxing becoming more popular over here.

 

No, I wouldnt. Adamek has a very good power for boxer his size (natural CW). While Fury is naturally 50-60 pounds heavier than Adamek, and still cant hurt much smaller boxers.

 

Fury's lack of punching power is not a lack of raw brute force, it's a lack of basic boxing and punching skill. He throws arm punches with zero torque and no footwork and hip movement at all.

Fury has only very basic fundamentals and little boxing skill. Reminds me of Valuev a lot, just has a wider arsenal of punches and can punch on the inside.

 

Seems like i'm about to throw a spanner in the works here, but i was not impressed in the slightest. I know it's early days but my advice to him would be to leave that training camp and go find yourself a top class trainer like Steward or Roach because not only is his stamina poor, for such a big man he throws pitty pat punches, he is not focused at all on his opponent, playing up to his fan boy fans.

If this guy thinks of winning a world title he will need to put the work in the gym, and not come in the ring looking the way he did.

 

all of those can easily be corrected. what's not are height, reach and chin. he got all three. i hope fury makes it to the top.

 

The way I saw it Fury won by at least 3 rounds, but I felt he didn't look good enough. Didn't look like a top 20 heavyweight, didn't fight to his advantages, ie size, showed no footwork, kept fighting in close rather than fighting at range.

On the plus side he showed a great chin and an unbelievable heart throughout.
Luckily for Fury he is only 22/23 so he has time to drastically improve. Could be a real force by the time he's 28, at the minute he likely loses to any top 15 heavyweight.

 

Unskilled, fat gypsy.

No technique whatsoever, doesn't even turn his punches over, didn't see one nicely executed 1-2 the whole night.

Disgraceful tomato can.
