Yeah, me too.

ITV seem to not have ringside interviews post-fights on the undercard. Which is a shame. Those are the sort of interviews I like.

He's on the brink of a title fight and doesn't want to risk it. Simple as that I reckon. Practically every time he's fought square-on in the past he's been put down, every time he's fought side-on he's won with ease. What would you do?

Round 4

More of the same but Fury going to the body more. Lands a good right hook. Hammer missing wildly, but Fury can't hurt him yet. 4-0 Fury.

Jack Dempsey was 180 odd and he'd have smashed the pair of them.
That puts him within half a stone of the light-heavyweight limit. How could he possibly share a ring with guys this size?

honestly if these 2 are the best ranked in the WBO I give a big thumbs up to the MBC. honestly this is embarrassing to watch, if these were novice fighters then i could understand but they are ranked 2 and 3 in the world, you actually know what that means? The world is quite a big place!

Tyson boxing well. The more cautious Fury is less exciting but a better boxer

Round 5

And more, but fury is now back to orthodox. Good uppercut by Fury. Hammer down from a short right to the temple but not badly hurt. Good uppercut from Fury up close, and a good short right as Hammer comes forward. Hammer still in it at the end of the round but Fury well on top. 50-44 Fury

Yeah, Dunne's a good lad. Gobshite Haye shortly to make an appearance though. Shouldn't have booked him.

Round 6

Good jabs from Fury, good right hook. Hammer grinning but not landing. Body shots and uppercuts from Fury. Hammer lands a couple of shots but can't make any impact. 60-53

I do, I can see why people don't though

Hatred can also blur your opinion

Some very nice controlled combinations from Fury when he can be bothered. One massive positive is that unless he gets chinned, he's saving us from the nightmare that is Klitschko v Hammer :)
