Round 1 : Crocker controlling the pace and the distance.

[chuck9788]

Round 3 : Crocker lands whenever he throws his left hand. Waburton can't hurt Crocker.

Round 4 : Crocker grabs another easy round. Warburton landed a combo at the end, but Crocker was completely unfazed.

Round 5 : Warburton is a crafty veteran even though he poses no threat whatsoever. He may be the first opponent to go the distance with Crocker. It's 5-0 Crocker with 1 round to go.

[chuck9788]

Round 6 : Crocker lands a hard left hand and some solid body shots. Warburton takes it well enough and finishes the fight on his feet. No knockdowns.

Interview with Deontay Wilder : "I have had much love from the people in Belfast. They are some of the best fans in the world".

Up next : Tyson Fury (26-0, 19 KO's) vs Francesco Pianeta (35-4, 21 KO's)

Pianetta enters to Queens' "We Will Rock You" .... Fury (looking serious) makes his way towards the ring. Sitting ringside Wilder says he hopes that Fury looks good today so that he can spark him next.

[Enlightened-One]

I can't believe I'm saying this but Tyson Fury has a better physique than Francesco Pianeta.

I hope the 'Gypsy King' doesn't dispose of Pianeta quickly.

[Enlightened-One]

Francesco Pianeta looks game, but he can't land a glove of Tyson Fury.

The Brit's movement and boxing skills look pretty decent to me.

[chuck9788]

Round 1 : Fury not clowning around this time around. His foot work was good.

Round 2 : Pianetta taking risks and standing in front of Fury. Fury leads 2-0

[dagilechia]

Im not impressed. Remember that Pianeta is a bum outside the top 100 and was stopped by Kevin Johnson recently

Wilder stops Fury rather than Fury outpoints him

[chuck9788]

Round 3 : Fury is putting his punches together better. He is snapping lead left hands at Pianetta and keeping the German based fighter at bay.

Round 4 : Fury continues to out box Pianetta. He is landing with more authority as the fight progresses. Fury leads 4-0

[Enlightened-One]

Whilst I appreciate the fact that Francesco Pianeta is clearly no world-beater, I can't help being impressed by Tyson Fury's skills.

He has the movement and punch variety of a middleweight. And even though he looks clumsy at times, his defence is deceptively effective.

Deontay Wilder will struggle to retain ownership of his WBC title when he faces Fury, because the American is nowhere near as skilled as the Brit.

[chuck9788]

Round 5 : Fury lands a couple if nice inside uppercuts and dominates the tie ups.

Round 6 : Fury puts Pianetta on the ropes and does some good work. Fury is badly outworking his opponent. It' is 6-0 Fury, this is a 10 round fight.

[dagilechia]

Fury is skilled but he got 0 power

[Enlightened-One]

Fury is skilled but he got 0 power

Tyson Fury has got power. He badly hurt Chisora and Klitschko.

He isn't a one-punch KO artist like Joshua and Wilder, but the cumulative effect of the Gypsy Kings shots will bust fighters up and eventually take their toll.

Even dripping water wears away stone...

[chuck9788]

Round 7 : Good work rate from Fury. His left hand is finding its home.

Round 8 : Pianetta putting his guard up and absorbing some punishment. 8-0 Fury

[Thomastearns]

Listening on BBC radio, fell asleep after 3 rounds. Woke up by round 7 and it doesn't sound like I missed a thing.

And Fury said he's going to knock Wilder out? Well, on second thoughts, he could try to put Wilder to sleep through boredom.

It's the only way he will.

[dagilechia]

I mean, post-Wlad Fury got no power. He cant stop a bum that is known for being chinny and was stopped recently by Kevin Johnson. Wilder will take this fight now i think

[TempleSlave]

Fury has some really good moments followed by really crap ones like he becomes very hittable, moves awfully, lacks any snap in his punches.

[chuck9788]

Round 9 : More good work from Fury. Just piling up easy rounds.

Round 10 : The sparring session is over. I scored it a shut out.

[TempleSlave]

Now this has Wrestlemania written all over it

Yeah, Pianeta isn't that dangerous, but neither was Seferi. Still Tyson looked rusty against Seferi, but now he's improved.

[SenorPipino]

Fury better show more fire in his arsenal if he's ever going to trouble Wilder.

[lazboy]

Carl putting on a clinic. Jackson very stiff, being stalked and can barely land a jab.

[Thomastearns]

Amusing slip of the tongue by the presenter on BBC Radio 5. He announced the Frampton fight dramatically as follows,

'..because David Price, that's going to be absolutely crap', then clumsily correcting himself 'I mean an absolute cracker I meant to say.'

Freudian slip or a classic case of 'Colemanballs'?

Either way it should be included in the next issue of Private Eye magazine.
