Fury - Chisora RBR

[keithmoonhangover]

The quality on show tonight was awful.

Del boy clearly didn't train for this fight and hopefully will give him a kick up the arse. If he doesn't, Warren will sack him. Can't see Frank being too happy about the weight issue.

I've never rated Fury and my opinion hasn't changed. He has so little power and can't throw his punches properly. He was lucky Chisora came in so out of shape.

Fury has said he wants Haye next. I hope this fight happens and maybe worthwhile for Haye given a test against a tall heavyweight if he wants to take on a Klit again. Fury would be up for it and could be a decent money spinner given they're both British.

I think Price beats Fury easily if he can cope with Fury's workrate.

How will Price react when he's in the trenches. Fury showed that he could do it tonight.

I would hope that Price would use a jab and avoid the type of basic trouble Fury got into tonight. Fury really needs to learn how to box and use size etc

I agree, but I think he takes Price.

I thought Fury showed a lot of improvement tonight compared to previous fights. he also showed he has a very good chin cos he did take a few of Chisora's bombs. Big shame that Chisora just didn't seem with it, out of shape and seemed to be mentally not there. He's a strange guy, an enigma and I guess he has to decide how dedicated he wants to be.

I don't want to take anything away from Fury though, he beat what was in front of him, he picked off Chisora with the jab and right cross. It was a 'Wlad Klitschko-lite' performance, I enjoyed it to be honest, but then I did have a bet on Fury to win on points!

People are always trying to jump on Fury's back, criticising him, but he's beaten some decent men, McDermott trashed war machine so is a good name to have on the slate. Zack page made Tom Dallas look totally daft yet Fury easily beat him. Now Fury has easily beat Chisora, albeit an out of shape Chisora. You can't KEEP taking the credit away from him every time he wins, at some point you Fury-haters have to at least give him a little bit of love! Price hasn't had the tests that Fury has had yet.

[MightyWarrior]

I know most don't want to talk about it and hope it goes away, but the great hope Price doesn't have a chin, which is a bit of a liability at heavyweight. I think Del Boy would splatter him to be honest.

I'm gonna go Vegas and let it roll, Price to take him when it happens

Fury is not the man to hit hard enough for David Price to be taken to the trenches. He needs to stick around this level for a while to lear a few more of the fundamentals of boxing, he can fight pretty well but will get outboxed at any highr level.

Price proves the saying.... you are only as good as your last fight. Well, Price beat Tom Dallas. Tonight Fury beat the guy ranked 9th in the world by BoxRec.

Chisora's ex does not rate him that highly.

[alexpaterson]

Fury actually boxed well, that right hand was very good. Though Chisora was very disappointing!! His head movement wasn't great, his jab was non existent and his combinations were replaced with big amateurish swings! Well done to big Tyson though

[Grilling Machine]

Del was clearly trading fitness for power. But the overhands were so wide it looked like he was trying to give the Moon a reach-around.

[binipop]

First off, well done Channel 5. A few minor hitches but overall, a job well done. Had an 80's old school vibe to the whole proceeding, possibly due to the presence of Jim Rosenthal :)

I thought Fury was really impressive tonight. I think he's clearly improved since the fights with John McDermott where he showed a lot of guts and will to win and in his fight against the undefeated brazilian (sorry, name escapes me) he controlled distance, used his jab, and put combinations together to much better effect, albeit against questionable opposition (btw, if anyone thinks he hasn't the power to hurt Price or drag him to the trenches, watch the KO in this fight). However he has carried those improvements into the ring tonight against Chisora, an undefeated British and Commonwealth champion who apparently gave Wlad the jitters so much he pulled out of a fight. Tyson is still only 22 and he's going to get better. I'm not saying he is going to be world champ but after some lackluster performances by the likes of Bellew and Haye who talked trash but then didn't even bother to fight, i think he deserves some credit for walking the walk. He's willing to fight anyone, he's in action packed fights and i think he can only be good for British boxing. Yes, he made some dubious comments in the build up to this fight but he mostly backed them up. Also, i think he has massive crossover potential, he's likeable, charismatic, funny (sometimes unintentionally so.... punches self in face..... post fight interview after 2nd McDermott fight, classic!) he's on terrestrial tv and he wants it bad.

Good luck to Fury, i'll be looking forward to whatever he does next.

[DIRT SUGAR]

Got to remember this was only their what, both guys' 15th fight so have to put things in perspective. God knows what Chisora was doing coming in so big and slow but it's cost him. Seems he does alright outside of boxing so does he need it that much... whereas Fury showed improved fitness and variety throwing some good body shots and trying to get his right around the side. He's so big though and doesn't have a big dig which I think could prove a problem later on, but at 23 he's still only young and can only get better?


But... I bet David Price was very interested viewer tonight.

[whiteboy]

Decent fight I thought. Fair play to Fury he has come on alot since the first McDermott fight, but he doesn't quite punch hard enough does he.

Chisora defo out of shape, looked like a beast compared to the Sexton fight. Still put on a decent show though.

[Dan Dares]

Missed the last train home. Currently on a night bus. Thank you boxreccers - this thread got me through the journey. Well chuffed for fury and meaty mick

[Zhuge]

What was said by each guy after the fight?

Wlad mentioned he was interested in the winner, although it can be assumed that was just in the event Chisora won. What's the likelihood he would be interested in fighting Fury in London in the Fall? Would Fury even want the fight?

[leforge]

One of the worst run shows I ever been too. Half empty there was too long gaps between fights! !

Wlad will be laughing easy night or him next!

[NazNaci1]

Chisora was absolutely awful, way too heavy, slow and those wild ponderous swings....what was that all about? Well done mate, your first loss because you couldn't be bothered to take it seriously!

Fury threw a lot of punches and showed some decent savy, but he has little power & average speed. Good win for him, fully deserved but if some of you think this guy is next best HW or one to dominate the division, then your going to be disappointed.

[Big_Amzzino]

I think it was disgusting how the ref continuously let Fury trap Chisora in the corner. He even put his hands on the ropes to trap him at one point and the ref did nothing.

I agree, way too much holding, however the flip side is Chisora was glad as he was absolutely knackered, from about Round 3.

Would be interesting how that pans out in the future.

[stac]

Actually enjoyed the fight thought both guys dug deep and actually my parents enjoyed it ....shock horror not great boxing fans ...but as a c5 spectical etc they neverminded watching decent fights for free

[THEBUTCH]

A real glory night for Fury. Only 22 and 15 fights going into the biggest fight of his life he made Chisora look half a man in there, and showed off his massive fighting heart and confidence. He practically dominated Chisora from start to finish bar a few rounds where Chisora landed some of his bombs, which Fury took well.

Almost everything is improving with Fury and if he keeps on making improvements he will clean up in Britain and Europe IMO. As for "Del Boy" the bully got a nasty taste of his own medicine and took something of a beating from Tyson. He must be feeling like shit now.

A good, entertaining fight and hopefully channel 5 will decide to go again with Fury.

[doctorboxing]

Quality = crap
Entertainment = top-notch

To be honest, I think C5 would have rather had something like that than a Groves-DeGale style technical fight lacking in excitement.

Fury v Price is the fight I would like to see by the end of the year and it would be great if C5 can keep showing live fights as their presentation (apart from not showing the undercard) wasn't too bad at all. Fury looked the best he has ever done and Chisora looked out of shape. However the thought of either of them in with Wlad at the moment is laughable and Haye would KO both of them without breaking sweat.

Fury-Rogan would be a great test and if he comes through that and Price comes through McDermott, then we have a big fight set up nicely.

[TheCobra]

Boxing needs more characters who can crossover and connect with the average man in the street. Tyson Fury has the potential to be one of those. It's all well and good every boxer being respectful at weigh-ins and shaking hands and all being nicey nicey, but that is not what sells a fight or tickets. Whilst the quality wasn't too great, there was enough action and entertainment to keep me happy and I liked the bits of showboating they both did at times.
