Very flat, jerky performance and just when you're thinking, "what's all the fuss about?" he staggers him with a hook then finishes him with a brick to the Solar Power Unit.
Good stuff against a decentish test... :salut:

That bloke hasn't been stopped for almost 10 years.

He was down from a body shot and up at 7. Let him fight on. The Cuban would benefit from it as well, as they don't stop then for that anywhere else

Stops it early, then over to the home fighter to give him a fist bump

You think he can get a KO win in Tokyo MDP ? :maybe:
Tough ask but he's a quality operator, looks improved since the Baluta loss

'He is undefeated.......with one win!' FFS.

Talk about scraping the barrel of hype.

Old Walter Fury doesn't look up to much. Powerless

I'm watching with no sound. Is this Fury related to that Fury?

I reckon Arrowsmith could flatten Fury if he wasn't reliant on the work

Ordinarily, I hate watching a guy with a 6-114-5 record, but this is an even matchup.

27yrs old, which is a bit late. Doesn't look like he has any power. Arm puncher.

Arrowsmith has the complicated task of throwing at least something back, but ensuring there is not enough on it knock Walter out. Tricky

Agreed. A lot of what's wrong with British boxing in your post. :brick:

Similar style to Tyson.
Similar fake tan to Trump.

Listening to Dempsey is hilarious. "It's like looking at Tyson Fury, but just in a smaller body"

WTF? Woodhall is cringing, he knows the truth

The lad is a total novice and couldn't punch his way out of a wet paper bag

I think we can certainly conclude that there are many men born from many mothers that would beat young Walter

This next lad Turner should be fun. He's like a scouse Edwin Valero

Chases the opponent round the ring and just leathers them

Is there any other sport that's a two man race, where one of the men is trying desperately not to win?

I'm a big fan of Jack Turner. Eddie should have signed him a while back.
