Tyson Fury?

Yeah. Pretty quick hands for a guy his size, likes to go to the body too and throws decent combinations. His power didn't look very special, but it is too early too judge and he will need to train properly as he looks like most of the heavyweight division now...ie flabby.

 

Very young for a heavy.
He's lost a lot of that flesh he was carrying on his debut, and he's fighting a live opponent, so doing the right things.
Seems a really nice kid from what i saw of him.

Personally i thought he would be better off staying amateur for one more year as he's so young, but don't know enough about the kid so may be wrong.
But now he's pro, will be interesting to see how he comes on.

 

He's worth watching, looked a little clumsy early in the round in his debut but he settled down later on. Good handspeed for someone who is 6'8 1/2", has a good jab and looks comfortable in the ring. He had only been back from his honeymoon for two days when he fought, so being out of shape is not suprising.

 

Hi all,

Is Fury an aggressive fighter or does he jab and move?

Here's his pro debut:

He's taken a fight with a pretty hand opponent for only his second outing. The lad is 20-2 or something like that. Seems a strange decision

He reminds me a bit of Firpo both in look and size

 

I thought the match looked pretty tough but I'm sure Hennessey and team will have had a good look at the level of opposition of his opponent.

Hope to see a bit of improvement in Fury each time he fights and if he's matched well he'll have to show that.

 

I thought he was excellent last night. He's going to be hard to beat if he's got a decent beard as he is quick enough to negate smaller fighters mobility.

 

I was impressed last night, the opponent wasn't a pudding by any means.

Interesting to see his next move - hopefully a six rounder.

 

Considering how young he is and how big he is, he certainly looks impressive. I think a British title shot this year is probably too soon for him, he has time on his side and should be just looking for more experience and then get his title shot next year.

Get him in the ring with Audley!

 

It's amazing how Harrison has become a figure of ridicule.

 

i wasnt impressed with tyson. he threw big hooks like foreman but they had no power on them. he looked fat and knackered after the 3rd

 

He needs to get into better shape yet, he has since his first fight so he needs to continue that. There's an obvious layer of unneeded fat he could get rid of yet, and better fitness will help his stamina...he seemed a bit puffed after he extertions in the first round, and had to stick with the jab more for the other two rounds. He needs to improve that stamina.

Seems to have a nice variety of punches, jab is heavy and he throws it consistantly, and likes to target the body as well as the head. Slow mover naturally, and Foreman-esque in his punching style with those looping shots.

Don't know about his chin, only clipped a few times without any obvious effect.
Not sure about his power, Keller seemed to take a good punch despite this being his fourth stoppage so I can't really guage it. Think the stoppage was a little early, but it was coming very soon anyway.

Fundamentally I think he's got it. He needs to do everything he's doing at the moment - just that bit better! Tighten up his technique, improve his fitness and stamina, gain experience.

Definitely one to watch.
