I think it's a little too early to write off Fury

    He wasn't going 100 percent. He's trying to get the rust off. He looked no different outside of his belly and his rustiness.

    Of course you aren't going to look amazing after 3 years out.

    His style isn't like a David Haye, either. He likes to spoil and make it awkward which generally ages well.

    Either way i think users on here are ''over-analyzing'' the performance where he's just trying to blow off some steam and shake some cobwebs off.

    Literally no point drawing any conclusions from tonight, either way. We didn't witness a fight after all....

    In reality it was an undercard fight, but such is his name/ego, that he had to be the main event.

    I’d expect his next couple of fights to be very much the same. By all means, tune in, but what you’re going to get is a fighter being managed carefully back into form/fitness.

    It is, to be honest hes going to need to be ACTIVE i.e out at minimum every 2-3 months for a good year before we will really know.

    BUT after all the talking from his fanboys for the last 24 months i really enjoyed how **** that was

    Not good enough to beat AJ but will handle Wilder easily.

    Wilder would have KO'd Fury tonight. Fury needs to get back at championship Level then he'll beat Wilder

    3 year layoff vs a cruserweight. After weighing 370 lbs honestly what did people expect. His opponent wasn’t even announced until well after his fight date.

    This fight wasn't Tyson Fury trying to get the ring-rust off, this was Tyson Fury saying to the world "look! I'm back! I'm seriously doing this! Pay attention to me!"

    If it was a fight meant to get him back into fighting fitness then the opponent would have posed some kind of threat and it wouldn't have been a total mismatch. He'll have learned nothing from this and it will have done nothing to restore his sharpness or boxing instincts.

    This was a promotional event disguised as a fight.

    He could get better and recapture some of the glory that he threw away so I do agree that it's far to early to write him off but this fight with Seferi did nothing for him other than to get him some headlines and make people realize he's legitimately trying to make a comeback.

    It's insane to judge Fury after four rounds of boxing vs a guy who lost even before the fight started. I mean look at the press conference, the weigh in, they looked like friends there, prob they are or trained together in the past. It was a comeback fight where Seferi was there to give Fury some rounds, it was not even a better sparring session for Fury. Give him 1-2 more fights and a couple of months to lose more weight and then it will be alright.

    Fury will beat everyone.

    He needs 20/20 vision to drop another 20 lbs and choose someone in the top 20 as his next opponent.:eyepop:

    Joshua doesn't do anything other than throw one-twos and a jabs. He gasses like a donkey, has no chin and is cumbersome in the ring. The overreaction to tonight is way OTT. Fury is still way quicker, better footwork, better jab, unbelievable upper body movement...

    He still has weight to lose...

    He still ****s AJ up any way he wants.
