Looking at the fight Fury did look awkward and Chisora had him badly hurt in the second. The first thing the pair of them need to sort out though is improving their fitness. They were completely out of gas after the 9th.

I dont know what fight you was watching ,Fury was never hurt in that fight,watch the fight back as he wasn't wobbled or rocked and looked to have a clear head the few times he was caught.
I thought Fury just out fought Chisora 9 out of 12 rounds,he landed the better combos throughout...Fury does look awkward tho but that due to his size of near 7 ft lol
Fury got a good chin and the heart of a lion ,Remember me saying it he will put a beating on david price

If he continues with that attitude he can only improve. Going out to spar with big names and working with Steward can only help. His win over Chisora is a very good win and one most expected him to lose. He has learnt so much with regards to living the life in the last 12 months its remarkable.

Clearly I had been deceived watching Chisora before - I always thought his power was his get out of jail card, to make up for his lack of basic boxing skills.
Fury has never displayed power for me, up to this point in his career.
Fury has hit the heavyweight scene at just the right time.
He just might get to Euro level on the fast track, but for now you would have to say the World scene is a step too far.
I think talk of him making it big style is more a reflection of the heavyweight scene right now rather than Tyson's abilities.
However that is not his problem, so good luck to the guy.

Chisora was there for the taking.
Fury's shots clearly couldn't put him away - and I don't think that had anything to do with Chisora's resilience.
Just my take mate.

They put on a very entertaining first half, with Chisora showing he can bang a bit and Fury showing some chin and heart. The second half lacked a lot of slickness. It was more bravado, grappling and panting.

I'd give the first half 8/10 and the second 4/10.

Basically a bit like Saving Private Ryan.

The conditioning is poor, speed is poor and to be honest i think that fight last night was a poor spectacle for the average neutral. I don't think fights like that on free TV will be encouraging a surge of new fans into the sport.

Im still not convinced by Tyson Fury, he got the job done and last night was a great achievement for him so for that i obviously do have to give him credit.

GLOBALBOX wrote:I thought the kid did well, He is what 22/23 British and Commonwealth champ, Could hold his own probably now but certainly in 2 years at European level and that makes him a 25 year old European heavyweight capable of fighting and winning that particular belt.

The Klitschko's will be gone in 4 years max, Vitali in a lot less than that, Fury will be in a Klitschko free division by the time he is 28, I think we need to cut him a break really.

Chin seems decent enough, hand speed is good, he throws 3, 4 and even 5 punch combinations with fair accuracy and speed, We know he can go a full 12 rounds now and for me Heavies dont really peak until around 27 so there may be some strength and conditioning to come.

He came back and took the initiative every time Chisora tried to up it and thats a pretty good mindset to have, his lack of one punch power at this current stage is something his team need to be wary of and I would definately not push him in with the Klitschko's yet. I understand that is where the money is but hell give it another 2 years minimum, Vitali might be gone and Wlad will be looking for his final few pay days.

There is good money to be made here still with a couple of heavyweights on our shores, Lets see if he can clear them out and then move towards the European belt.

Whilst now I think even without the Klitschko's he would not beat the best that they leave behind, I don't see how he is not in the top 20 and at such a young age I think thats a pretty
decent start

My Mrs also commented that Fury looked an old 22, she saw him as looking about 34 or 35.
