digme

brilliant

This is hilarious. That flurry by Chisora was something you'd see a drunk doing

Dirk Gently

is it legal to bend your opponent over the top rope?

They're best buds now.

He's gonna come out swinging.

Bar a ko this is fury's fight. Have to say its been fun to watch

I think you guys are being a little harsh on them. They're giving it their all; Fury for such a big man is very useful.

I'm enjoyed that. I'd always enjoy a good fight between bad fighters than a bad fight between good fighters.

I'm delighted for Fury, he deserved that. He put effort into preparing for the fight. Chisora didn't respect his opponent and clearly didn't put in the work to get ready for it. Chisora either learns big from that or he will be just another bum for the rest of his career.

The referee needs to learn how to ref too by the way.

Except for a few rounds in the middle it was pretty entertaining I thought. Both seemed to have decent chins as they both ate a good few clean punches. Fury might have something to him, I quite like him, but he really needs to keep those hands up! He was wide open for a lot of it. Chisora was not in shape and it showed.
Fair play to Fury.

Well done Fury. I enjoyed that.

Fury is only 23, wonder what he'd be like at 30 if he kept himself in shape and focussed

You remind me of a lad I know, he will only tell us his bets as they are about to or do come in.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy to see the (part?) Irish lad do it. I fancied Chisora to win by KO but after seeing the weights I wasn't so sure. Tyson has a lot of good qualities but he's nowhere near ready to fight Vlad.

Both of Fury and Chisora are inexperienced really. Tyson is young too. There's plenty for him to improve on.

He has to tone up a bit and learn how to box a bit better, it is the start of a new an interesting road for him.

Enjoyed that big time, delighted for Fury. He's fairly nifty for a giant!

Deliverance XXV

Tactical perfection from Fury/Fury's corner. Still a way for him to go but he is only 23! Looking forward to seeing him in future.

I don't think he'll ever get as much definition as the Klits, his height seems to have his balance outta whack a bit as well...

Enjoyed the fight and sickened by 50 euro bet wasn't carried to paddy power on time... I wanted 50 on tyson to win at 2.25 and 20 on a points win at 4.7

DB10

Good scrap, lost money on a KO didnt expect it to go the full way.

Fair play to Fury, but certainly he should have at least 2-4 more fights at least before he takes on Wlad. He isnt ready.

FYP

Spazdarn

He said it himself he's not ready and that he wants to take the regular steps to world class, ie he wants the European title first... which is very smart way of going about it in fairness instead of getting whopped by Wlad and then having to get momentum all over again

efb

I hope he learns some boxing skills first

CorkMan

I doubt he will ever be ready to take on Wladimir TBH, Chisora had him all over the place in the 2nd. If Chirsora was very fit and motivated I think he would have gotten Fury out. You always feel that Fury is 1 above average (not great) punch away from being in trouble.

davegrohl48

Fight worked out as a lot of post weigh in commentary predicted. Chisora was blowing hard after 3 rounds. By God there was an overhand right in the 11th or 12th from Chisora that was like a man swinging a 10:10:20 bag o turf up onto a trailer.
Fury was incredibly arm punchey, had no power in his shots. He had maybe 6 proper solid shots in the fight. All of the rest were takeable. He didn't wobble Chisora once even though he had him there stood in front of him waiting to be hit. Yes he is young, but I can see tonight that this is as high as his level goes. I thought I'd seen something against Nascimento but I dunno. Tonight was a step backwards skillwise.

Spazdarn

He has very little punch power, something he'd really need at that weight and size... but he's definitely progressing. His attitude is much better, he lost a lot of weight before the fight, and he could definitely rise above this level to at the very least European level... which isn't bad. Again he's young, so he's plenty of boxing ahead of him.

DB10

Wouldnt write off Fury yet hes very young, and hes just become British heavyweight champ. I think too many people have a thing about putting down boxers on here because they arent a world champ and even then they put them down.

The fact there is even talk either of these guys should get a world title shot in 2011, is pure crap really and a testament to how the division is crying out for more quality.

You should teach him

davegrohl48

He probably could teach him.
- Straight right use yer legs more
- Use 1 -2's to disrupt yer opponent
- Power into the left jab
- Don't get too close
- Keep your hands up

I was really hoping Fury would show something tonight and in flashes he shows some of the above basics. But then there's large parts of the fight where yer looking at him thinking "You have shown you can do this, but yer not doing it?"
The amount of hooks and uppercuts he threw was daft. He will never be great on either of those punches. He's far too tall and long in the limbs.
He's not an accurate puncher and yet with Chisora cornered he was trying wild uppercuts. It was screaming out for him to just plant down on a straight right down the middle.
I think he'll have a few offers from coaches now.

Neil3030

Aye, maybe Lee (who I think is his cousin?) will put in a word for him in the Kronk, get him sparring with the big men

Well I'd teach him the jab anyway, he doest seem to know how!!!!

a straight flush punch would be nice too!

They are Boxing 101 punches.

Its like he learned how to fight, but never how to box.
