LOL at the Reactions to this fight. Wtf did you expect? First fight back against a small unskilled heavyweight. Fury was playing wih him in there Could of finished the fight whenever he wanted to. He treated it as a showcase fight and I treated it as one watching it. You think fury is gonna start playing around touching gloves with a decent opponent? No chance. Fools
Actually thought he looked allright when he did take it seriously considering. Needs to lose about two or three stone tho. And get with the ingles. He's still sharp enough and young enough to make a serious comeback. Albeit 3 stone heavier than he should be in an ideal world. Needs a stone off and two or three easy fights in the next six/eight months. They need to stick him in with guys like last night for the next couple. Just to get him to focus. Worrying his lack of focus from the off last night. Was the most worrying thing about the whole thing. His skills havent eroded. Hes just still too heavy and needs to sharpen up. Its like people we,re suddenly expecting him to turn into Joshua. Fury's always been pretty bland to watch.
Keep the faith I say, after all he has been out for a while, last night was nothing more than getting him out there again, with a little more weight loss and decent sparring we should see the level of opponents upped, I won't judge him on last night because there is nothing to judge really it was expected.
The thing with Fury is he doesn't seem to take much pride in himself. when you compare his comeback to great fighters of the past, they themselves may have faced terrible opponents on comebacks but the difference is they are in shape and get them out of there, they want to look good. I think his mindset of having a laugh in this fight was misplaced, it doesn't inspire confidence. At the moment it looks like a case of his ego cashing cheques his current talent cant back up. you cant say you are the best in the world and up there with the all timers coming in the ring in that shape. it just comes across ridiculous if you perform like that. He has a lot of work to do to be taken seriously I think, I really hope he manages it but I have my doubts with his little mental get out clauses, some of the stuff he says...
The guy quit after 4 rounds. Fury said he wanted to get rounds in and it looked fairly obvious if the fight continued he would knock him out in the next two rounds. He went 10 with Charr a supposed world champion. Is it Fury's fault he chose to quit rather than getting chinned?
I'd like to have seen Fury white wash the guy personally, so the face of an ending never had a chance to happen. getting rounds in or "ring air" against a tomato can like that is pointless anyway, the longer it goes, the worse he looks. At least Haye got his road sweepers out within a round so we couldn't see how bad he was.
Furys weight confused me as he weighed in at 19st 10ib. Against Klit he and his camp said he was 18st 8ib not the 17st 8ib that was read out at weigh in. Well he looked more than 16ib heavier than he did v Klit agsinst Sefer.
But mate as a massive tyson fury fan it was more how he looked and boxed in those 4 rounds. I’m sure he would have banged him out in the next 3 rounds 5 6 or 7 but the point is tyson looked really poor and not even british level. I think I’m wrong about him. I’ve been unashamedly team fury for years now and thought he’d go down as at least the greatest white heavyweight of all times. Now I’m thinking differently. Tyson has so much to do to be in shape for Joshua and wilder I’m not sure he can do it. I’ve always believed he’d fight again and lose 8 stone he needed to fight again. But now i don’t believe for a minute he’d win a world title. Unfortunately he’s declined way to much. It’s a shame because I’m English and rally wanted him to go all the way and do that glass chinned overages puppet joshua
I get what you are saying but it's obvious he's not the finished article. Clear ring rust but to be expected after 2.5 years out of the ring. I do agree several red flags have been raised (conditioning, backroom staff and mental strength). Before we start the witch hunt let's at least give him a couple of fights.
I’ve just watched the fight It wasn’t as bad as people have made out but he did look as though he was learning how to ride a bike again a bit. At times he did look like a fat man with no coordination getting picked on in a pub brawl He needs to lose that weight around his gut big time! And needs to get the basics right again! He needs rounds and lots of them but showboating for the most of them is pointless! And to think this was supposed to be his big comeback and shown live on tv stateside, Eddie Hearn must have been laughing his head off!
