Boxing Thread For All Of Tonights Big Fights: Let's Get Ready

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 4:46 pm

First topic message reminder :

First up it's Blackpool on the red button at 6pm.

Then it's lanky Tyson Fury at 9.30, minus silly trainer Peter.

Then Canelo vs Trout. A sizzler in the making. Mr. Bacon and cheese faced Trout, let's go.

Excited? You better be.

Poor Cunningham. If he was a natural heavy he wins tonight. Channel 5 must have loved that. I had Fury in under 8.5 - phew!

by **hampo17** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:32 pm

Pulev knocks Fury in to next week by way.
Yeah I noticed that JM channel 5 ignoring it despite it being clear as day on the replays.

by azania Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:32 pm

Great win. Brilliant fight. Are you not entertained?

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:33 pm

B-Hop tactics.

by WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:33 pm

If haye landed that right hand that Cunnigham did, he ain't getting up

He looked absolutely crap but did what he had to and while it was a but dirty the KO was coming

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:33 pm

AZ said, ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!

by Captain Charisma Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:33 pm

Cunningham had backed up badly though. Think he was coming to the end. Spectacular if dodgy knockout.

Chunky is 10 times the talent Fury has and he's stuck in the studio and selling out Swindon Leisure Centre.

It was! What did channel 5 say? I saw it on NBC

Fury needs to fight someone his own size.

by Guest Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:34 pm

Not sure why Fury is celebrating so much, just got knocked down by a cruiser-weight and outclassed for the majority of the fight. The weight difference was the key, nothing special from Fury and the Klitschko's won't lose any sleep over that. Chinny.

by **hampo17** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:34 pm

Entertained, slightly disappointed that the commentators can't take their heads out of Furys backside to acknowledge the use of the forearm though. Cleverlys boxing well anyway, Krasniqi causing a few issues.

by horizontalhero Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:35 pm

Woodall's commentary is as bad as Furys boxing. How are seeing so many positives? He looked dreadful and nearly got ko'd by a light punching cruiser weight. A great US Debut??

by azania Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:35 pm

I think he took liberties because he thought cunny couldn't hurt him. Terrific fight

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:36 pm

HE'S SINGING!

by Champagne_Socialist Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:36 pm

Fury looked so bad. He was facing a 36 year old cruiserweight who had little power yet fury still manages to get knocked down.

Fury needs to stop showing off. He needs to sto fighting from south paw and stop dropping his hands like he is hamed. Against a top natural heavy fury will lose very badly.

by ONETWOFOREVER Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:36 pm

Please don't sing Fury.

by themadworldofjb Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:36 pm

Dodgy KO there. Forearm is a very very illegal I thought

by WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:36 pm

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Fury is singing

Guys a muppet

He is entertaining

by **Seanusarrilius** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:37 pm

TYSON IS SINGING ON THE NBC MICROPHONE!!!! WHAT ON EARTH IS HE DOING TO OUR SPORT!!!!

by Guest Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:37 pm

How on earth did the commentators have Fury leading the fight after a clear knockdown and point deduction. Fury hardly won a round, appaling technical ability compared to Cunningham. Shocking display and without doubt against bigger boxers of quality, Fury is going one way.......down.

by OasisBFC Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:37 pm

Fury seemed very worked up and to be honest mentally unstable.
the occasion got to him.

he looked sloppy too. a lot of that was down to cunningham making him miss but wow, cunningham's head was almost removed from his body.

dodgy final shot or not, he was on his way out.

by **hampo17** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:38 pm

Fury needs to realise this is a serious business, he must have watched the Rocky film they showed on channel 5 before his fight because he touched gloves like Drago and then talked to Cunningham like Balboa. Honestly can't see him beating a decent heavyweight that can throw back.

by Pound-for-Pound Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:38 pm

How would tonight's version of Fury done if he had faced a true American Heavyweight, say......Tony Thompson?

by Captain Charisma Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:39 pm

Bar Vitali i cant think of an iron chinned heavyweight at the moment (Wach got busted for PED'S post Vlad fight) .

Its his defence thats the problem. Not exactly his chin.

by themadworldofjb Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:39 pm

Please let him fight a Klitschko. So a Klitschko can KHTFO

by ONETWOFOREVER Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:39 pm

Fury was terrible tonight. Outclassed by a cruiser all Fury could do was brawl. It was an ugly win don't rate the guy at all now. Haye would spark him in 3. British heavyweight boxing just looks like hype still.

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:40 pm

Not many top HW around. Fury cheated a bit but look at the Drones, they sit on fighters, awful.

by **hampo17** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:41 pm

Fury vs Audley I really want to see. If Audley lands the big left hand its good night.

I am saying Fury has a WEAK chin. Knocked down by 2 very light hitters in firtha and cunningham, the latter being a cruiserweight who is 50 lbs lighter than him.

Fury's defence is horrible but he does it on purpose. He drops his hands low and switches to southpaw but its not a good gameplan as it leaves him open.

by horizontalhero Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:43 pm

Degale's at it now, am I missing something here, I honestly thought he looked woeful, but channel 5 s guys can't praise him enough.

by Imperial Ghosty Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:43 pm

Get him in there with Haye.

by OasisBFC Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:43 pm

his singing will stay with me for a long time, and not in a good way. its nightmares for me tonight.

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:44 pm

Did Rose win? Watching Clev, and did Chisora win?

by ONETWOFOREVER Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:44 pm

Fury went out to impress the Yanks but not with his boxing. Wilder, Adamek, and even Areola would fancy a crack at big foot here. If Fury wants a career in musicals then he is in the right place Broadway is just down the road from MSG. I don;t think the Yanks will care much for Fury's boxing tonight.

by OasisBFC Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:45 pm

also, the nbc/c5 coverage was terrible.

4 people were speaking at the same time.

by **hampo17** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:46 pm

Krasniqi is backing Cleverly up here. Only other fighter I've seen do that is Bellew.

by bhb001 Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:47 pm

Entertaining as heck (to get through the swear filter). But I can't see Wlad being worried!! Now Fury to fight the winner of Audley vs or Wilder. or, put another way, Wilder!!

by **Seanusarrilius** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:47 pm

Hughie Fury looked like he meant business

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:47 pm

ROSE AND CHISORA RESULTS?

Nathan needs to use RANGE!!!!!! RANGE!!!!

by azania Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:49 pm

The haters are out it seems. Our boy spanked a yank. Happy days. Rejoice. Half of those punches would have killed Wedgwood. Great combination punches. Great voice also. Multi talented.

by WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:49 pm

Hughie looks very tidy and at 18 has a good potential, although he seems to have his cousins conditioning as he looked very soft

Just turne don the Clev fight, how's he been doing up untill now. Krasniqi seems to be doing some good work and Clev looks to be feeling the pace

by Captain Charisma Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:51 pm

Rose under pressure last minute.

by Steffan Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:52 pm

Clev would be working in an accounts department by now if it wasnt for that chin of iron

Nothing to do with hate Az, all to do with watching a fight and seeing how truest awful Fury looked. He looked amatuer at times.

by manos de piedra Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:52 pm

Cleverlys no good fighting on the back foot. Hes at his best pressuring and outworking opponents. I dont know why hes backing off.

by Captain Charisma Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:53 pm

Into the 10th Rose probably ahead on workrate but Alcine caught him with a few good shots in the last minute.

Didn't Macklin starch Alcine in a round?

by **Seanusarrilius** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:53 pm

Clev has a great chin, but he can't trade on it forever
