    Wasn't overwhelmed with Fury on Saturday because I couldn't bloody see the the performance from the stands. Was disappointed with the fact he didn't get a stoppage. But I re-watched the fight today and feck me, the man looked impressive.

    The footwork was quick, combinations were good, punch selection, speed, agility, head movement. Did you see when he put both hands on the ropes and moved the head side to side as Pianeta tried everything to hit him? If Lomachenko done that the clip would go viral. Tyson didn't get the KO but he didn't try to either. He done ten rounds with ease. Great work.

    We know it wasn't Tyson at his best, we know Pianeta was a poor opponent. But I seen enough in this fight to tell me Tyson is coming back to his best. He weighed what he weighed v Klitschko. They're hinting at him going down again to eighteen stone for Wilder. Tyson Fury at eighteen stone could be a freak of nature. Imagine the speed and slickness.

    I was worried about the Wilder fight a week ago. Not so much anymore. WAR Tyson, he's so focused at the moment.

    You must be easily pleased, I wasn't impressed at all. The biggest thing that stood out was how feeble his punches looked, for a big fella his power is laughable.

    At least he shaved his back this time.

    Just the response I was expecting. Keep them coming lads! There's many types of boxers in the world. Tyson is one of those who doesn't put much pop in his punches because he's half focused on his lateral movement after the shot lands. That's why his opponents can't hit him, he boxes and moves. We've seen it with Floyd Mayweather, we've seen it with Billy Joe Saunders more recently.

    Haters gona hate. Just wait and see what Fury does to Wilder and AJ. They won't win eight rounds between them.

    I seriously don't understand what people are watching. He looked terrible against a fighter who is awful .

    The same guy who was stopped Kevin ****ING Johson !! Tyson was allowed what he wanted to do against a fighter who is ten years past his prime who was average in his prime and still looked awful.

    I watched highlights of his his fight with Wlad on Sunday too he is no way near the same fighter in sorry to say . I can't believe there letting him fight Wilder after these two opponents he has faced.

    I know he was never a puncher but he is even less so now.

    There's some truth to that but even if he wanted to get pianeta out of there he wouldn't have, he might have been holding back but I don't think he was.

    Yep, looked awful. Just like he did every other performance in his career as everyone says. People even criticise the Wlad performance ffs.

    He's back ladies and gentlemen, and you'll all look like fools before the year is out. God bless Tyson Fury, the best heavyweight since Lennox Lewis.

    It's wishful thinking and rose tinted glasses.

    For fight #2 of a 5-6 fight "comeback series" it was fine

    For a guy fighting Wilder in 3 months it was worrying.

    He’s back and still boring as hell

    Still the fight will be fun for awhile

    Fury will go down like a sack of potatoes after showboating for 3 rounds

    Deluded, look at his two fights prior to Wlad. It's night and day. Wilder by KO.

    Fury has no chance against Wilder. Yes he has decent boxing skills for a big man but on Saturday he did get caught a few times and if Wilder does that against him then it is night night Fury. I think it is way too early to be having this fight after his comeback and he doesn't even have a 'punchers chance' because he has no power. I see the Fury/Wilder fight being very cagey in the first few rounds with Wilder trying to land that one big shot and I just cannot see Fury going the whole 12 rounds without getting hit. I think Fury has done this fight for one last big pay day!

    It’s not for one last pay day it’s because he genuinely thinks he can beat Wilder, who when you take his power away isn’t very good. Unfortunately he has that power though and I find it hard to see how Fury avoids it for 12 rounds. Wilder by KO.
