    I had byrd winning 115-113. Tua was getting to bryd alot more then he did vs Lewis. Tua was training very hard vs Lewis but not vs bryd cause I said in another post tua only focuss on losing 9 to 10 pounds just so he can have better legs to chase bryd incase bryd runs. Remember ike who barely got by tua tko bryd. Tua wasnt worry about bryd pop hints to why he didnt really train right.

    I was just pointing out that it wasn`t a good performance because Lewis so easy to hit in that bout.

    I know what you mean, but there`s no skill to causing a cut is therre it`s just pot luck.

    Yes I feel Holy may have been better than Norton when both men reached their mid 30`s, Holy was still a better counter puncher at that stage and would`ve landed more counters had he of been 36 in the ring against Larry instead of Norton back then.

    And Hopkins landed alot more than Taylor in both of those fights and both of those fights Taylor won by decision smh. <<<My point is the punch stats don't tell the whole story unless you didnt really watch that fight with your own eyes?

    At this point Furys resume is very weak. He has a victory over old Wlad, third tier fighter Chisora and a draw with Wilder...

    I feel Vitali was more organised during that bout Lewis looked out of sorts, I feel Vitali would have taken the fight back over and outpointed Lewis.

    I feel the Wilder fight was a brilliant result for Fury and few heavyweights in the last 30 years have outdone him in that regard, Wilder is very dangerous but by the end of their bout he was backpedling proving Fury has got mettle and then some.

    Not much seemed to land from either guy in the B-Hop v Taylor bouts, Taylor just kept the fight at a safe range and kept missing but keeping the cagey B-Hop off him, he spoiled and it worked.
