McDermott is the British version of Manny Pucheta. Good overall skillset, decent beard, but refusal to train for 12 rounds, or get himself in any sort fo healthy shape. A 235 lb McDermott would beat Fury 9/10 times. I hope DelBoy is looking past Olawambi, and similarly destroys him as did the fat McDermott. Chisora might have been injured for the Fury fight(excuse), IDK, but he'll have none come fight night I hope, and he'll dispatch this chinny Big Larry O. I'd be happy to see a Chisora Fury 2, but they're gonna make DelBoy earn it for sure......might even need a mandate to get it done. As for Sasha/Fury....bad move really for Fury, but good move for Sasha.....huge payday for Potvetkin, with little chance of being beaten. Sasha's power is decent and his skillset is far better than ANYTHING Fury has seen thusfar. I'd expect Fury to be T/KOd before the 5th. His long jab is not hard enough to keep Sasha off him, and his body defense is so open that IMO, the first fighters which targets it on the iside will find his gloves dropped after only a few shots downstairs and be able to land flush on that soft brittle chin of his.
I could see Fury, being young, continuing to fight fatherfists for 2 more years, meanwhile Dimitrenko will have been KlitschKOd, Helenius will have taken the EU belt, passed it along and taken the WBA from Potvetkin. Then, Fury, still undefeated could actually get a fight with the featherfisted Dimitrenko for the EU title, but's that's as best he'll do sadly, before he is KlitschKOd himself.
I was shocked as **** when John absolutely crushed Larry O in one minute with two big knock downs. Larry has more muscle than Wladimir Klitschko. Him being so big so I expected to be a great fighter. I expected Larry to be a legitimate World Hw contender.
I know Povetkin's stock is at a low right now but he's a good fighter and would beat Fury. I think it would be pretty entertaining but Povetkin is better than Fury and wins a decision if they fought. I like Fury's willingness to step up and challenge Povetkin but its too soon and while I'd like to see the fight I think Fury is in over his head here.
Those were huge punches that would of dropped most any heavyweight. Still a shocking event none the less. English fighters are some of the biggest punchers in the sport so upsets like that happen sometimes.
Big muscles don't make you a good boxer, otherwise Mariousz Pudzianowski would be a world champion. Larry's a no talent ass clown who only got as far as he did because of his looks. BTW Povetkin is a much better boxer than Fury. Sasha would absolutely embaress the big ugly Brit.
The thing about Fury is he's just spaces out in a fight, he stoppes throwing puches and doesnt work behind his jab enought and if he's fight Povetkin he will likely be out worked and lose a ud
Terry you are hilarious man... I genuinely like you. i dont know you just always make me smile with your posts.. :good
To be fair Fury did a better number of Firtha than Povertkin did and Fury impressed me in that fight. I might be a little bit biased as i am a Fury fan but i definately think it would be a close fight even now, i think any heavy weight would struggle with Fury except Wlad and Vitali but ****ing hell i would be interested to see it because you know Fury would come to fight not like some of these clowns that just turn up for a ****ing pay day..
I thought, and could be wrong, that Povetkin injured himself in that fight. I didn't think it was one of those crying injury for the sake of it but he actually injured his arm in that fight. I've never seen either fight but from what I've gathered Povetkin won his without much trouble but Fury had some rough moments in his fight. Fury just scored the ko, which is always more impressive, while Povetkin was unspetacular but didn't have some of the trouble Fury did. As for a possible Povetkin-Fury match up, I do like the fight. I think it would be an entertaining fight. I just think Povetkin is a better all-round fighter than Fury and would win a comfortable but competitive decision. I think some of the unpopular choices Povetkin has made(ducking Wlad, Teddy Atlas, Holyfield talks, big drop off in competition level) have effected people's views on him in the ring, perhaphs more than it should. If Fury-Povetkin happened now I like it but I think Fury's chances go up if he strings together a few more wins over a few top 20 guys first. But I do like that Fury is looking for the tough fights and I'd agree that he'll come to win and not just collect a check.
:good Yeah fair play I do agree with alot of what your saying, but Fury seems to have a little bit more about him than Povetkin, Fury put some real good combinations together which i was really suprised with in his last bout and he is looking like a proper heavyweight boxer now, each bout he's getting better and better and i think he is are best prospect in Britain way ahead of Price who has failed to fight anyone of real quality.
