Just can't believe it. Should it really happen they will sell it big time on german free tv as "tom schwarz goes for the lineal heavyweight championship!" but eff me! is it a mismatch!
Of course fury could toy with/carry him to avoid a gon't blink or it's over stinker but eff! where's the point in this!
Schwarz up until now exclusively bullied handpicked inferior opponents with basic technique. He's a thick, crude, quite strong, relatively unfit guy. his defensive skill is minimal... can't believe and still don't think it will happen.
Schwarz is young, undefeated, has a good amount of rounds behind him with late KOs, decent speed and movement, and he has taken some decent shots. He might be young enough to just go in blazing and make it entertaining, although that is a very tall order v Fury.
thats a flattering way to describe shwarz, ive watched much of him and hes not impressive at all. crude , out of shape and has gassed badly before, and with 0 notable wins or experience for stepping up. he barely beat ivica bacurin
vs gashi he also flopped to the canvas and looked for the dq instead of continuing to fight, im not sure on his mettle either

He truly doesn't like to 'mix it up.' Doesn't have the heart for the game.

I gladly defer to those whom have seen more of him. Obviously, he was not chosen as a high risk option. All I have seen so far are a few highlight vids. Even with my half glass full perspective, I agree that he has little to no chance.

I agree.
I watched and studied all of the fights easily available on him.
He looks awful.
Slow, with not that much power. Telegraphs his jab, etc.
I liked how, in the gashi fight, a second comes out and subdues Tom against the ropes and so Tom punches him square in the side of the head and the second didn’t even flinch.
...I actually don't mind top 10 guys fighting "nobodies" as long as they don't drum their chests claiming they are the best ever trying to convince boxing fans how much they care about them ..

Rumors have Oscar Rivas vs Kubrat Pulev on the undercard. As many of you know, Rivas beat Pulev at the 2008 Olympics.
When Pulev beats him comfortably, he’ll be Joshua’s next opponent.
Rivas will then probably end up Fury’s next opponent!
what a shame. he had a guaranteed rematch for the wbc title, and now this.
it probably makes sense for longevity, but is a totally meaningless fight, historically.
arum talks about a wilder rematch in 2020! maybe this makes space for a josua-wilder unification, at the end of the year.

Pulev doesn't need to fight Rivas. He is already worked his way up and is a mandatory since 2 years

I seriously doubt it will take place after the cut last night. At least not on the Fury card

Meh, it's three months from now. We have no idea, but you bring up a good point.

Trust me. Between the cut and how bad he looked he's not going to risk it.
It's 11 weeks away and that will be his excuse
