It's not like Fury landed hundreds of punches. I think he was credited with a whopping 83. Fewer then he landed versus Klitschko.
It’s called boxing mate. Wilder landed 2 massive punches. Fury got up both times. Other than that Fury handled Wilder over the 12 rounds quite handily. The WBC ordered an immediate rematch because the decision was so clearly wrong.SenorPipino wrote: ↑17 Jun 2019, 17:45 It's not like Fury landed hundreds of punches.

And there's no debate over who landed the more meaningful punches in that bout.
Fury has a way of convincing his true believers that he's doing something effective when clearly he's not.
Or does he get extra points for shimmying his hips, jutting his jaw and putting his hands behind his back?
Mayweather and Fury both do the same thing. I guess it seems more impressive at heavyweight than at a lower weight because Fury is miles better scientifically than all the rest, whereas in the lower weights there's so many damn talented fighters that it makes Mayweather look like he's running.SenorPipino wrote: ↑17 Jun 2019, 17:59 How come when Mayweather boxes it's called running?
But when the beloved Fury throws pitty pat shots, won't commit, and moves, moves, moves, he's a brilliant strategist?
Maybe Mayweather should have thrown in all those silly Fury hocus pocus tricks too as a way to get fans on his side.
Some good posts from you lately.ewenhay wrote: ↑18 Jun 2019, 05:01 Mayweather didn't run. He controlled the space and pace of his fights and measured his output to do enough to win. Wasn't always exciting to watch but he was a masterful boxer and that wasn't always appreciated by some.
Fury has elements of those tactics too and likewise isn't always in exciting fights as a result.
Unfortunately a lot of people can't score correctly and often reward fighters with a more aggressive style even although they might not be landing scoring punches.
Each to their own style wise but that shouldn't influence the scoring.
Part of the reason why I appreciate the likes of Ruiz Jr. and Fury is because they’re massive men that stand out from their peers.SenorPipino wrote: ↑17 Jun 2019, 17:59 How come when Mayweather boxes it's called running?

Anyone that didn’t want to see Whyte and AJ fight for a 2nd time makes no sense to me. The preflight hype would be great, the fight will definitely be crowd pleasing and I think Whyte earned it but got screwed. He did price himself out of it I guess by declining the first offer the way he did. But as a fan, I was really looking forward to it. I loved the first one.ewenhay wrote: ↑16 Jun 2019, 20:41 I agree. Fighters improve, fighters deteriorate. Some peak at different stages than others.
It's the same with posters who flatly refuse to consider Joshua v Whyte 2 because "we've seen that before".
Maybe we have but maybe Whyte would have a better shot now we're a few years down the line.
Boxing history is full of examples where fighters turned their careers around. But in this day and age people wouldn't give them a second chance.
I'm so sick of hearing how Ali could of whipped everyone. It's irrelevant. Fury is a good boxer, if you can't see that you're blinkered.Cap wrote: ↑18 Jun 2019, 18:08 OMG! What a joke! Did anyone expect Schwarz to win? The guy tried to quit last year against Sanid Gashi. He was waiting for that big clown Fury to throw a real punch. The blubberweights now are so terrible Fury looks like a flashy boxer. Gawd. Ali would have made him look like a lump of shite. Even Ernie Terrell would look like a master boxer if he fought Fury.
Oogie was spot on in his fight forecast. Schwarz was pure crap.Gnome wrote: ↑19 Jun 2019, 09:59 I'm so sick of hearing how Ali could of whipped everyone. It's irrelevant. Fury is a good boxer, if you can't see that you're blinkered.
I am not defending Schwarz's behaviour in the fight against Gashi but I remember hearing that the guy was coming off surgery on his upper spine/neck so was worried about a serious injury. He didn't want anyone to touch his neck hence the pathetic theatrics.
If only Whyte was as confident as Ruiz, he could have beaten AJ and make even more for the rematch.caldo2025 wrote: ↑19 Jun 2019, 09:22 Anyone that didn’t want to see Whyte and AJ fight for a 2nd time makes no sense to me.
