Tyson Fury vs. Otto Wallin - 14 September 2019

[ILikeBeer]

He had 8 months out then fought Wilder after 2 quick succession warm up fights. No messing, just got the contract signed. He then beat Wilder and got up off a punch from the hardest puncher in boxing that would put most people down for minutes, not seconds

He doesnt take sh*t an says it how it is. If a promoter is acting a tw*t, he calls them out, he doesnt kiss their ar*e

They are the reasons people like him

Actually, fair play.

I forgot about the Wilder fight. He did make Joshua and Hearn look like mugs there.

[PredatorHayds]

Fury SHOULD win this fight via KO.

The query for me is that Wallin looks durable and Fury always has the potential to Box on the backfoot in second gear and cruise to a Points win.

Hopefully Fury makes a statement but wouldn’t be shocked by a 119-109 borefest.

I like and rate Wallin. But this is a level too far for him.

[THX2208]

I think this will be a very good fight while it lasts but I think Tyson wins this by knockout in the 8th. It's good to see Otto Wallin get a shot and you never know in the heavyweight division.

[forcefraser]

Otta Wallin is a swedish meat ball, I mean wrecking ball

You could make a fortune rewriting history.

Which not do you disagree with?

I'm just stating the likeable qualities of fury. I think the wilder fight is a massive part of it

[liamlion]

I give Fury a lot of credit for beating Klit. I, for one, didn't think he had it in him. He had Cruisers who were minute compared to him knocking him on his arse. But he did well to win that fight, "away" to Klitschko. It was a dull fight, but he won when I didn't think he would.

Saying that, most of the rest of his career has been a bit pointless. Maybe beating Chisora for the British title was a decent win. But what else of any note has he done? He's gone back to fighting smaller guys or guys with little chance of winning on PPVs.

People like him because he turns up and dresses up as Batman, or whatever. But as you say, far too much reliance on easy fights for fat dollar.

Maybe I’m getting confused, but are you sure that is correct?

Sorry I was talking sh*te

2 an half years out before the wilder fights. The 8 months was getting in shape

I like your optimisim.
Sometimes an unknown quantity in the HW division can provide a few surprises.
Rivas proved that recently. But Wally Walin ain't even close to Rivas in experience, and Whyte ain't no Fury.

Tyson Fury was out far more than eight months. I do give him credit for his comeback.

Fury did not defeat Wilder, however, the way he managed to get off the canvas in the 12th was inspiring.

While his style is extremely boring in most fights, Fury is a very talented HW. I am very impressed that he has been able to redeem himself and has become healthy and happy.

Fury has balls.

He went Germany and dethroned a then-dominant Wladimir.

After a couple of years of meat pie abuse and injecting ice cream into his veins, he returned and got straight into the ring with Deontay Wilder - and arguably won.

But there is absolutely no sugar coating this fight.

I like Fury but his clowning and pantomiming around against nobodies is getting long in the tooth. But here is the thing, these nobodies are still 6'5 and whilst they might be atrocious, it only takes one big lucky punch - and then the Lineal ends up Linear !

yawnfest
fury fighting a sparring guy is a joke
the funniest thing will be when they release the ticket numbers and reveal how little interest it generates

Is anybody actually going to buy this PPV? I just can’t imagine it.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Is anybody actually going to buy this PPV? I just can’t imagine it.

Did anyone in the UK buy the Schwarz fight?

US fans get this via the ESPN+ which is $4.99.. PRIMETIME!

UK fans (have to) get up at 5am for his fight and they're chargin £19.95.

Even if the fight was in the UK, it doesn't deserve PPV, but it woud be anyway.. but wtf.. Piss take.

[brilo33]

Fury must be pissing himself laughing I bet he's made a fortune for the Schwarz and Wallin fights, he probably got paid not too shabbily for the Seferi and Pianeta fights as well, fair play to him but to go around harping on abut this Lineal crap is embarrassing, after putting in such a great performance against Wilder he's went back into safety first mode, maybe the knockdowns in that fight damaged him psychologically slightly??

Wallin like Schwarz, unbeaten but untested, its a dreadful fight for the best Heavyweight around, I wonder what Arum and ESPN are thinking, throwing money away, nobody knows this fights happening and those that do aren't arsed, BT seriously overestimating the popularity of Fury sticking this on PPV, I know Wallin's a southpaw so maybe he might prove tricky for a few rounds but no doubt Fury will be in total control and should get him out of there within 4 rounds or he might want to carry Wallin to make things seem competitive, the Wallin vs BJ Flores fight that was scrapped recently would've been better

but he wouldn't be paid a fortune fighting fighters that are not in the top 15,if he didn't flap his gums, combat sports are very much about selling tickets, so you have ta chat rubbish ,you have to sell tickets and most people dont want to watch people knock 7 bells out of each other ,so then you have to be a talker, fury boxed great in his last fight he was very entertaing for a giant of a man best heavy weight about, if not ever

Nah. Watch it on YouTube when having a leisurely Sunday breakfast

[oogiebe]

Tons of tickets still available. Ringside under $500.00. I wonder how many tix have been sold. Gee, what a surprise.

[coneye]

To pay back the promoters , for this colosal superfight , i hope the amount of tickets sold , and the amunt of ppv sold amount to ZERO .
I hope to also see Fury the ex boxer now turned WWF fighter , get sparked , putting an end to all the rubbish and piss taking he continually seems to be involved in .

[lillywhite14]

Kind of hoping that Billy Bullshitter loses tonight. Obviously never going to happen given the terrible opponent but it would be nice to see

Isn’t half as good as he or his disciples think he is

[skanksta]

3 AM for the main events.
