Fury blows a rod, trashes Lewis, Haye and Wladimir

fury14By Scott Gilfoid: It looks like British heavyweight Tyson Fury got out out of the wrong side of the bed today because he’s trash talking like a madman and ruining the King’s English on his twitter account. It’s hard to say what got him riled up because he’s not really saying, but he seems to really want a piece of Lennox Lewis, Wladimir Klitschko and David Haye. Fury still thinks Haye intentionally cut himself in order to get out of their September fight.

Here’s some of the interesting bits that Fury said today on twitter: “If A@LennoxLewis has any balls left at all come fight me & I’ll have you carried out on a stretcher, you f***** pu****…MrDavidhaye is a f**** sh** house c***. Went and cut himself on purpose so he could postpone getting an a** kicking…Klitschko is a pus**** and would never fight me.”

Lennox Lewis surprised he’s being blamed for David Price’s loss

price555By Scott Gilfoid: Lennox Lewis says he was only given 3 weeks to train former British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion David Price (15-2, 13 KO’s) for his fight last Saturday night against Tony Thompson (38-3, 26 KO’s) at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, UK.

Lewis says he wanted to train the 29-year-old Price for 5 weeks to get him ready for this important bout, but was only allowed to get a mere 3 weeks. Needless to say it’s almost impossible to make any lasting changes to a fighter after only 3 weeks working with them unless they have a brain like a sponge and can learn things quickly.

Usually the younger fighters are the ones that a lot more moldable in changing their fighting style. Price is a bit up there in age and about to hit 30. It’s not usual for fighters that old to be slow in making any lasting changes to their style with just a few weeks of work.

Lewis: David Price has improved his game working with me

price43By Scott Gilfoid: Lennox Lewis worked with British heavyweight David Price 15-1, 13 KO’s) a lot in his recent training camp to help him get ready for his fight against American Tony Thompson (37-3, 25 KO’s) this Saturday night at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, UK. Lewis thinks the time that he put in with helping the 6’8” Price was valuable time for the 29-year-old fighter, as he thinks it’s going to improve his game.

Lewis said as quoted by ESPN “As a past heavyweight champion, I know a lot of things he [Price] needs to do, and working with me has upped his game a lot more.”

Gosh, I sure hope Lennox is right for Price’s sake, because if he’s the same fighter that he was last February then he’s in a world of hurt this Saturday. Thompson had Price flopping around like a big fish on the canvas last February, knocking him out with a right hand to the head.

Price: Lennox has taken me to another level in training for Thompson rematch

price46By Scott Gilfoid: Heavyweight David Price (15-1, 13 KO’s) has been working under the guidance of former heavyweight champion of the world Lennox Lewis in this training camp to get ready for a rematch against 41-year-old Tony Thompson (37-3, 25 KO’s) on July 6th at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, UK.

Price was knocked out by the 6’5” Thompson last February, and he wants to make sure that doesn’t happen again. Whether Lennox Lewis can help Price beat Thompson this time is questionable.

Price is going to have to be able to take some shots from Thompson if he wants to win. Last time Price couldn’t take it and was stroked out. That was Price’s best opponent in the pros by far, and he was easily beaten.

Lewis thinks Price needs to get meaner for the rematch so that he can come out top this time. Last time they fought, Thompson surprisingly knocked Price out in the 2nd round last February in front of Price’s own British fans in Liverpool.

Lennox Lewis: Froch needs to improve to beat Andre Ward

ward765By Scott Gilfoid: Former heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis was pleased with IBF super middleweight champion Carl Froch’s win last night over WBA champ Mikkel Kessler, but Lewis is realistic about Froch’s chances in a rematch against WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward.

Lewis feels that unless Froch improves a whole lot over what he showed last night against Kessler, he’ll get taken to school by Ward if he chooses to ever fight the talented American again.

Ward beat Froch with a broken left hand two years ago in a one-sided fight, and he says it’ll be even easier with two healthy hands.

Lennox: Deontay Wilder needs work on his punching

wilder23By Scott Gilfoid: Former heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis recently got the chance to see unbeaten American heavyweight Deontay Wilder (28-0, 28 KO’s) destroy fellow British heavyweight Audley Harrison in a 1st round knockout in London, UK, and Lewis came away from the experience thinking that the 6’7” Wilder needs work on his punching.

Wilder hurt Audley with his first right hand of the fight, and he then snowed him under with windmill shots until Audley collapsed on the canvas. He got up and the fight was stopped because Deontay had done such a good job with his big power shots, but it looks like Lewis wasn’t all that impressed.

Lennox Lewis: One of the greatest ever

lewis32By Daniel Mcglinchey: In my eyes the former Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the world Lennox ‘The Lion’ Lewis (41-2, 32 KO’s) is without a doubt one of the greatest Heavyweight fighters to ever step into the ring.

Born in London, England Lennox always had a keen eye for sport excelling in Football (Soccer) & Basketball. At the age of 12, Lennox moved to Canada where he found a taste for Boxing. Lewis collected a very impressive amateur record of 94-11 and won gold at Olympics in Seoul, South Korea in 1988.

Lewis decided to turn pro and move back to his native England aged 23, where he signed with promoter Frank Maloney. In his first year as a professional, Lewis collected a record of 14 straight wins, 12 by knockout, his 14th win being him claiming the European Heavyweight Title.
