Pickle Rick Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) Well I never. Wasnt a classic, but Fury did a professional job and despite not looking 'well trained' (trim), he didn't struggle during the later stages. As mentioned, this should shake up the weight division a bit. Edited November 29, 2015 by Scrumpy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1ackbird Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Gotta say, fair play to Fury, VK threw about four right hands in the first eight rounds and for a fighter who has a left, right and a left hook in his arsenal, just not enough...

EmersonsRed Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Got 50 on at 5/1 before the fight... Had a feeling... Looked confident. I don't think it's egotistical either, I just genuinely think he has a belief in him and his team. Nice to see. He's not got all screws in his brain done up but he's a funny guy.

Phileas Fogg Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Had a feeling about fury, genuine self belief. People underestimate him because he doesn't look in good shape and is so languid. I reckon Haye will beat his opponent, then Haye vs Joshua to get a fight with Fury? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foghornred Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Its great that we have a British Heavyweight champion of the world even if he is not that good of a boxer he has heart and is big enough to cause anyone trouble. Lets hope that he fights someone who is a contender and not just a journeyman next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne allisons tongues Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Wasn't a good fight, Fury just edged it and think it was one fight to many for Klitschko. Like someone else said hope Fury takes on some decent opponents but have a feeling Klitschko ego may well make him take a rematch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 He might be as nutty as a fruitcake, but having seen the fight now, TF totally deserved the decision. Klitschko only seemed to wake up in the final rounds. Look forward to this unification bout they are talking up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Boxing is all about money at the end of the day. Is there really enough appetite amongst fans to see a rematch after that last night? Haye/Fury makes more money and probably Wilder/Fury too so I feel they're more likely. They can pay off Klitschko to step aside if he does indeed want a rematch (and I have my doubts he does). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Would Haye of got near Fury though?? Haye doesn't have the reach of Klitschko who failed to close the distance effectively. Haye just isn't a proper heavyweight and as long as Fury kept him at arms length then I don't see how he could win. Fury has said he won't give Haye the opportunity of fighting him now anyway after Haye pulled out of those fights so we may never know.

Money talks, If Haye can regain himself as a contender again sure it will happen. Certainly some great fights in store in Britain with AJ on the scene as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He punches aswell as any heavyweight, would he get near enough though to Fury is definatley the question. It intrigues me, Hopefully Haye will impress in jan to get himself a shot as Money does talk and I reckon this fight could sell out anywhere in England.

'Orns Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Bit late on this, streamed it from a twitter link - @nothingbutplays Worth a look, was excellent quality and it's not just boxing by the looks of it As for the fight, Fury fully deserved it, good luck to the bloke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone are the good days of Lennox Lewis, Eubank, Prince Naseem etc... UFC sucks, but each to their own. The big fights are often anti-climatic to casual fans but rarely to me. Take Mayweather v Pacman, most boxing fans would've told you that fight took place at least 3 years too late and Manny was shot. Couple that with Mayweather's ultra-cautious style and it was always going to be pretty dull. Same with Klitschko v Fury, with all due respect a KO was very unlikely and sure enough it was a poor fight - no way was I gonna pay £17 for it. Domestically though there's still plenty of good action. Britain currently has 12 world champions so we should be in a 'golden era' of sorts. You'd have been better off watching DeGale v Bute on Saturday night - DeGale is an exciting boxer with fast hands and will have some big, big fights next year. Andy Lee v Billie Joe Saunders on 19 December and Quigg v Frampton 27 February will both be entertaining fights I promise you. Apparently Kell Brook v Timothy Bradley could be on for next year and Adonis Stevenson v Kovalev would be another corker if made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just found myself losing interest in boxing by watching so many higher profile fights with little excitement. Then in contrast, whenever I watch UFC fights, it is much more entertaining and both opponents give their all. Maybe I'll keep my eye out for more boxing events and hopefully see something of more quality and entertainment value.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quigg v frampton next year also a good match up, not a lot of love between the promoters. The return of Haye I struggle to get any appetite for at all. His fights generally an anti climax followed by the inevitable excuses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee is Tyson Fury's cousin. Haye had one massively anti climatic fight v Klitschko but other than that ko'd all his opponents at heavyweight level bar Valuev so I'd say his entertainment value ranks pretty high.

handsofclay Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 When I was really into boxing there were only two world sanctioning bodies the WBC and WBA and fewer weight categories. Thus being a world champ really meant something. Obviously, TF won the version of several sanctioning bodies on Saturday so that counts for something. Like others have commented, I was surprised to see him get the decision effectively in the champ's backyard, but wonder if the English are now getting a reputation for sniffing out anything that isn't above board in the world of sport such as with FIFA. Thus the judges were at pains to score it fairly even accounting for the ref's attempt to put the mockers on it by deducting a point. Had TF been Spanish or something, would probably have been a unanimous pts victory for the champ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
