What did you non-Brits think of Fury?

dont know about "glass". boxing fans are quick to jump to conclusions. maybe not great punch resistance, but it aint glass

 

And yet, Chisora didn't land anything at all. :think The guy has very good defensive technique, goofy as it might look at times.

 

I underrated him, he improved a bit, although he's still quite beatable in my opinion, I think today's Chisora was really really bad also, just woeful.

 

Well, he has no chance against Klitschko. After Klitschko retires, he might possibly get one of the alphabet championships. Now though I see him being outboxed by Klitschko fairly easily, unless K goes downhill in the next year before he fights.

He did dominate Chisora but Chisora looked pretty bad. He uses his height advantage but doesn't seem to hit hard. But at his height, won't be easy to beat. he does use that height advantage. Going back & forth southpaw & such was pretty good.

 

I don't know, that fight stylistically speaking seems like the worst possible matchup for Chisora. If you put Fury against someone who had better head movement or could get in, land and get out I think he would crumble.

 

Only guy that might be able to do that is a Povetkin (and maybe a guy like Mansour). It would have to be for the stoppage, no hw has the stamina to outpoint him that way.

 

I was pulling for Chisora, but was impressed by Fury tonight. In the past, I thought he was a Michael Grant waiting to be exposed. But the southpaw action was impressive, and his hand speed was much better than I thought. He always had pretty good combos and punch selection.

I thought he was nuts for wanting to fight Haye, and I fully believed Haye would wreck him. It showed his confidence, but at the time I thought his confidence was unjustified. I would still favor Haye, but Fury seems to improve each year, while a lot of heavies seem to stagnate and pick up no additional skills. It always blows my mind that so many boxers (like Chisora) seem unable to put more than two punches together at a time. Chisora looked incredibly basic tonight, one punch at a time, when he could be bothered to throw one. (It also blows my mind to see a fighter dodge, weave and rush his way inside on an opponent to then just initiate a hug, get separated by ref, and do it again.)

I hope Fury's next fight is a legitimate challenge for him, and not just a stay-busy fight that doesn't put his title shot vs. Wlad at risk. I think he would beat Povetkin, Pulev, and most of the rest. Stiverne would be interesting, but I see Stiverne laying on the ropes and receiving a lot of damage while waiting to counter. I think Fury would have enough restraint and discipline to nullify Stiverne's counter punching.

Wilder would be interesting just because of his reach/power, but I think Fury has more desire and drive and would weather the storm and dish out too much for Wilder.

I still think Wlad wrecks Fury, but I think Fury will be the best contender Wlad has faced in a long while. I wouldn't have thought so a year ago. I mean, Chisora was bad tonight, but that had a lot to do with Fury fighting such a disciplined fight, especially after such a long layoff.

I don't know where Chisora goes from here. I really like him, for no clear reason. Chisora vs Arreola would be fun. Ditto Mike Perez.

 

Self uppercut gif ftw?

 

fury is very good... him and povetkin are 2nd and 3rd right now...but can he beat wlad???dunno...but he would give any heavyweight in history a good fight...yes even ali and lennox....im not joking... maybe ppl will believe when he fights klitschko and gives a good fight

 

I think he is very good when focused on the task at hand. His size hand speed and boxing ability could actually pose Wlad trouble. I'm from the US but we don't have a Fury or Joshua ATM ...nope we don't.

 

I like where Fury is heading but he really needs a quality opponent to see what he's really capable of. This rematch was really unnecessary and I doubt he learned anything from it.

Wlad's power would force him to put more power into his shots. I'm questioning if he has the stamina to go 12 rounds while throwing hard shots.

 

After today he is much better than I thought.

 

Fury is very good I've been a fan for awhile. He's great for the sport.

 

He has been around so long that people forget that he is only 26. A man of his heght does not reach physical maturity until at least 30 (look at Lennox and the Klits).

The reality is that Luke Tyson Fury is at the begging of his career. If he takes on Wlad, he will get starched...and then just go back to the drawing board, improve and physically mature.
