3 stone difference? and a big reach disadvantage for USS but if he's fit and mobile he can win. You can't put muscles on your chin as somebody once said.

More or less as expected I think. I expected Cunningham to be around 210, probably expected Fury to be half a stone lighter but then from what I read he actually looks in ok nick so it is obviously weight put on in the right manner and not just flab. I expect someone will post pictures once they are up.

He's in good shape, looks to have finally put some muscle on that great lanky frame

Really looking forward to this one.

18 stone is perfect for Fury in my opinion.

Fury doesn't look that good at this weight, very heavy.

If Cunningham puts his 210lb into his that big sharp right hand and it connects, he can KO any heavyweight.

Fury looks to be in pretty good shape. By all accounts, albeit what his family says, he is "living the life" a lot more than he used to.

how can 18 stone be very heavy for a 6" 9 guy?
as for Cunningham he wasn't a great puncher at Cruiserweight so surely isn't a great threat at the heavier weight.

The guy who decked Fury wasn't a puncher either, and Cunningham hits more straight and sharper than that guy. I'm just saying, if Fury walks into it and it has 200lbs on it, he's at very least going down. Cunningham has better delivery than say the bigger and stronger Chisora, who throws wide cuffing shots.

In those photos Cunningham looks taller than I thought he would be standing next to fury

point taken about a clean hit but i will be very surprised if he knocks fury clean out. i still don't get why you think fury is overweight at 18 stone though.

It takes just 2psi of pressure (lb per sq. inch) to render someone unconscious if that pressure is applied to the chin to shake the head and dislodge the brain.

ANY professional boxer can knock out a heavyweight with the right punch, Cunningham hasn't got the power to KO a big heavyweight that isn't caught out by one he isn't prepared for, IMO.

Fury will stop Cunningham.

I thought this as well when I saw them face to face, I was expecting Cunningham to be looking up at the sky but far from it.
Fury looks very strong, he'll could go a long way with a good jab. He'll be dangerous with the uppercuts but Cunningham looks in unbelieveable shape.

How anyone can say Fury dont look in shape for 18 st is beyond me, Fury should beat this little man ,but hayyy anything can happen as price found out ...fury inside the distance for me

Can someone tell me why the broadcast starts at 21:30 on channel 5 when the fight is on in New York?

It's an afternoon fight in the US, as a sort of starter to the main course of Canelo v Trout at prime time.

cunningham hasnt got the power to ko fury, who also isnt as fragile as many would have you believe. hes been on his arse but never looked close to being put away. I can see him making it tricky for fury tho. i just think cunningham will have too much trouble getting past the jab.

Also, furys clearly putting on weight the correct way, muscle mass etc. im sure hes fitter than ever.

I thought that when they stood head to head before. I thought Wlad dwarfed Haye more. Sorry I can't post pictures.

I thought this was funny, having met Haye as a heavyweight and finding him a surprisingly big unit. I thought he'd exaggerated his height but he certainly seemed 6'3" in the flesh, same as Cunningham. There were those photos showing Tyson looking taller than Wlad, but when I googled to find one I came up with this one http://news.boxrec.com/news/2011/stewar ... -klitschko where Fury looks bigger, but look closer: He may still be taller but Fury's standing on tip toe!

I've said it for a long time: He aint six foot nine, kids. But it's all part of him selling himself. It's worked.
