never seen Larry box but that comment alone, plus what I've witnessed tonight makes me think he would mash Fury the jive talking blowing out of his a*se clinger on up.

Larry i have to disagree with you about your verdict on the Tyson Fury fight, having just seen the fight a 2nd time i had it down as 5-5 in rounds although i can see how people may see it as a clear Mac victory

Are u sure you want to keep that post up where your accusing O'Connor of throwing the Fight?

Anyway your back to winning which was the main thing and you took care of him in the 1st rd rather than let him start to spoil which he would have so well done.

What i said earlier still stands although i think you will see this yourself, what is great about you is that your entertaining unlike so many heavyweights nowadays and i can see the WARMACHINE cult growing.

I take it you won't be throwing your Hat into PrizeFighter to replace Sprott if he pulls out?

Also is there any reason why you keep your shorts so high? i'm not being cheeky by asking this, just seems like a Trademark and if so than thats cool.

read my post about the ref again. i didnt accuse him of throwing the fight. i was just realying what I heard. and i am getting some new shorts as those red ones always ride up. i have black ones but the guy wore black so I couldn't. I was happy David hay knew who I was though. had a brief chat with him

Larry your a gentleman and i totally respect your view's and your right about how your stated the O'Connor thing wasn't your view but just a rumour.

I think the fact that you were not happy with elements of your performance and want to improve will make you a success in the long run and i for one will be supporting you all the way as i like your style, honesty and most of all your entertaining.

You have one of the best physique's in boxing, just didnt think those shorts did you any favours as a Boxer has to look the part so glad your getting a new pair.

Its cool about David Haye recognising you...the cult of Warmachine is growing. Looking forward to your next fight soon, hopefully Peret rematch soon :)

I don't know whether you saw or not, but there was trouble anyway. Some of Fury's fans seemed to only be there to create their own fights.

congratulations on the victory, onwards and upwards.

Good performance larry, you did remind me of a young mike tyson. Big strong legs, heavy handed. I know it sounds a bit stupid like but if you could replicate his training methods (thats if you dont already) Develop great head movement and fast feet you will be devastating!

Glad to see Larry win.

However, you need to focus on being more relaxed in the ring and letting things come. I thought Larry was a bit too over eager and I have to say, it makes him look a bit amateurish. The potential is there and the improvements have been made but I think it's time to work on being calm about the approach and throwing good jabs. Even prime Tyson was a very patient fighter if he needed to be, working behind the jab, but could turn it on when necessary. I'd love to see Larry settle more in the ring because the way he was fighting last night, I was waiting to see him clipped with a big right hand. I really hope Larry becomes one of the premier heavies in Britain

Larry had next to no amateur career, in view of which he is doing just fine, IMO, although he is always going to look 'amateurish' for a while. most important thing is, he is realistic enough to know that he needs to work on aspects of his game, and level headed enough to accept well-intended and insightful criticism where he gets some.

i second the War Machine tshirt idea :TU:

Larry, what's your opinion on Derek Chisora? How far do you think he can go?

I think that an ability to take on board criticism and accept one's own flaws is a real asset and will help Larry to continue to work on his weaknesses and hopefully to fulfil his potential. Mr Fury could learn a lot from that...

Nice one Larry :TU:

I hope you never get a dodgy decision like that!

I should have listened to you before the fight. I thought fury was just having an innocent laugh, but he seems to mean everything he says. I hope he gets humbled. He's a decent domestic fighter, but he didn't win that fight. And both you and david haye reckon Fury lost!
thats why I am glad The all mighty blessed me with power so I can take it out of the judgs hands as much as possible. Most of the arena thought fury lost and thre is some talk that the ref didnt want any trouble from furys people so gave it to fury. Only what I heard though
Hmm Thought intimidation might have played a part in the refs decision, but his scoring still doesnt make sense. Nice win, and as it was so quick you could take another fight pretty soon.

Good attitude thats the sort of thing I like to hear, with just enough confidence in your abilites. Froch and Fury confuse confidence with arrogance, in fact Froch said they were the same thing. As long as you believe in yourself and your team and your fans do that should be enough. I wish you luck and keep busy.

Larry, what did you think of Glenn (or was it Jim Watts view) that when you take a shot, thats when your "true colours" will be shown.

Whats your next plans. The heavyweight devision is a little bit awkard in the country. There are 3 or 4 good "prospects" types - and I count you amongst those. But in terms of experience, as Fury showed (and I still class him as a good prospect) the knock over jobs are not much of a help... and then the likes of McDermmott prove to be a massive step in class. Hard to find a "bridge" fighter between the guys your knocking over and McDermmott - without fighting one another.

Well Done big man!!! You looked strong there!! The more you start relaxing the easier the knockouts will come!! You are still learning as we all are BUT people should realise you have had very little experience were as a lot of fighters are well ahead of you and have been boxing most of there lives or have reached a high level in the am's... Give you another 10 fights and I think we'll see the best of you!!

Best of Luck anyway mate.. :TU:

Cant be seen as negative@ mrrocco. Bruno fought on level terms with Lennox Lewis until the knockdown. If Larry gets anywhere near Bruno's level he would have done exceptionally well

Hi Karry well done on Friday night's result, great to see you back to winning ways. Me and my dad are big fans, he comes round for the live boxing and always asks when you're back on TV. When watching you fight, there's a feeling that you're one of those boxers who can end a bout at any moment. Its early days still but you're good to watch. We wish you the very best of luck with your career, stick at it :TU:
