The hype around Tyson Fury probably illustrate well the bad state of the Heavyweight division. Here's another example: I was watching an heavyweight fight on the undercard of Arthur Abraham-Carl Froch. The way commentators were talking about the guy that was about to fight, I was thinking for a second that I'd be watching the next Rocky Balboa but all this in a sarcastic way cause I knew it was a Sauerland guy, and we all know how his boxers are over-hyped and over-protected; a paper-champion builder we could say And so, Robert Helenius enters the ring and the fight start-on. One word: AWFUL. If Attila Levin had some kind of a chin, Helenius would have lost this fight I'm pretty damn sure. On a funny note and don't take this seriously,lol...... I think some people founded Tyson Fury's name intimidating and told themselves: We'll try to make something out of this guy and other boxers will be intimidated with his name just like when Homer Simpson changes his name for Max Power and becomes a Top Gun with people to his feet
From _____news: In a clash of unbeaten heavyweights, 6’9 Tyson Fury (14-0, 10 KOs) demolished Marcelo Nascimento (13-1, 11 KOs)on Saturday night at the Wembley Arena in London. Fury dropped Nascimento with a big right hand in round one and finished him in round five with a right hand that put the Brazilian down and out. Time was 2:48.
Another decent win and the haters still hate. Jesus, maybe if he fought some of Deontay Wilder's opponents he would get some credit.
Decent?!?!? Look at who this Nascimento guy fought before and you'll understand everything and don't talk to about to me about Gonzalo Omar Basile, hahahahaha And hey, could you name me one credible brazilian boxer please? They should stick at Jiu-Jitsu!
dude is like 20/21 years old aint he??. He still looks soft and a bit slow footed,but im sure he will improve his condition as he goes on,he did look slimmer than last outing. but getting steward is a good move,kid is improving,he wants to fight good people. he has desire,hes calling out chisora to face him in the arena and hes calling out all the big domestic fighters wants to move up the ranks the proper way too. (chisora is talking b/s at moment,dissin his performance) if only fury chisora happened next,but chisora will get knocked out by wlad first
You don't know that. He's already got a decent win against McDermott (I am only counting the second fight). At 22, he has had lesss than 50 combined amatuer and professional fight- he has lots of time to improve. Now he is working with Manny, who specializes in teaching tall heavies how to utilize the jab- this is a guy who dwarfs Wlad Klit. And now with Manny's instruction, we are seeing his power start to show a bit. I say he is going to be good. And who is going to "Crush" him anyway? Outside of the Klits, there really isn't anyone out there who has his physical tools. I would keep him away from the Klits, Haye, Povetkin and Adamek for a few years. Really thats about it.
