People flying out the door

Well I'd certainly back Fury to beat the winner of Stiverne/Wilder now.

I thought the same at first, but not really sure anymore. Who couldn't look good against that version of Chisora?

Great performance from Fury, impeccable defense. We have a legitimate challenge to Klitschko I think.

Yeah, going over and giving him a hug was a bit of respect that I didn't think that he had with all of his trash-talking.

There wasn't any bad blood to be honest, the BJS v Eubank fight showed that

Same version of Chisora who beat Helenius and lasted 12 against Vitali, certainly a lot better than he was in the first fight, just didn't get given a chance.

He made him look bad. Fury was pretty much punch perfect and the jab off the back foot completely dominated Chisora.

When Wlad retires, Tyson is right in there. He was composed, concentrated, hardly got hit. Well done. Fvck the haters :-)

Good shout Ian. Tyson is 25 and will only become the main man in HW boxing over the next 10 years.

Walsh-Sykes, Buglioni-Robinson and Saunders-Eubank Jr were all good to watch, Mitchell Smith, Gavin-Skeete and Chisora-Fury were all dull, although I did enjoy watching Gavin-Skeete, like a good technical battle. Mixed bag but on the whole I enjoyed the show, no all out wars, but that was always going to be unlikely, it's rare to see fights like that.

Joshua would outpoint Haye every round? What is this based on? and people really think Fury would beat Haye fighting like he did tonight? Im no Massive Haye fan, I'm just a boxing realist but at this exact moment in time based on what has happened in boxing history, Haye is Britains leading Heavyweight. Joshua or Fury might knock him out or beat him easily but until that happens there is no way you can say that with confidence

I don't want to be too critical.

But.

If youre 6ft and a bit and fighting in the heavyweight division today, you need to be trained to:

1.Close the distance effectively.
2.Be able to release your punches.
3. Keep up the sustained pressure.

Otherwise you are wasting your time.

I'm not reinventing the wheel here.

Rocky Marciano was acutely aware of this.
So was Joe Frazier.
And so was Mike Tyson.

Their disadvantages were much the same all things considered.
And they turned these disadvantages into advantages.

6ft1 is the new 5ft10.

I'd thought this was rather obvious, considering human and athlete development.

That, quite simply, was the difference.

This is not a critique of Tyson Fury, by the way.
He did everything required.
"Tools", as said in the interview, is the right terminology.

Wtf were you watching? Chisora clearly wasn't right tonight.

You gotta love Tyson Fury

Unfortunately, apart from the nonsense spoken in the post fight interview, they're waiting for Wlad to retire.

Which I think is sensible.

Fvck im as well staying up for Crawford/Beltran

It's a bit like people look good until they are in with Wlad and then they suddenly look poor. When you are being dominated by the other man who has silky skills and doesn't give you a way in you do tend to look poor because there's not a lot you can do.

Building your hopes up will only leave you disappointed. It was another fairly careful match up in Furys career. Chisora, along with all his previous opponents, cannot bang. Wlad will be the cash out, spectacular KO, winner for all involved fight, but it won't be all that competitive.

Lol there's no way that was the same Chisora that fought Helenius or Vitali. Fury boxed nicely though.

Hmm...... No excuses. Tyson put on a masterclass and size matters. There should be a Super Heavyweight Division.

Silky skills??? The ref had to show him how to throw a jab ffs

Impressive from fury, to box southpaw like that and completely subdue and bust up chisora should not be sneered at.

Don't bet the house on it.

Kudos to Tyson Fury, but think for a minute.

Fury's head movement/slipping punches.

And the lack thereof.

It'll be ugly.

That would be a very long wait. Klitschko not retiring in a foreseeable future, unless loosing.

Pedantic.

When Chisora tried to fight close Fury leaned on him. When he tried the over hand right Fury blocked it or moved out of the way. When it was at range Fury jabbed his face repeatedly from both the orthodox and southpaw stance. Total dominance.
