We seen some classy exhibitions of ‘the sweet science’ and some ruthless displays of raw power, each as enjoyable as the other.

Destination- Upton Park, London, UK:

The night started well for Olympian James DeGale (7 –0-0) with a brutal KO in the 5th of Sam Horton (15-1-0) for the vacant ‘WBA International super middleweight title’ and he looks to be maturing nicely into the very competitive division.

This was yet another mismatch on the card. Derek Chisora (12-0, 7 KO’s) stopped Carl Baker (9-5, 6 KO’s) in the 2nd round of a scheduled 10 round bout. The stoppage was way too quick by referee Richard James Davies in the 2nd round. Chisora landed a hard right hand that sent Baker backing up to the ropes. He wasn’t hurt, just knocked backwards from the shot. Chisora then got sloppy and started throwing a ton of punches, most of which missed badly.

Is Tyson Fury the Best Heavyweight in the UK?

fury43521By Nate Anderson: No disrespect meant towards newcomer heavyweight David Haye, but I’m beginning to think that unbeaten prospect Tyson Fury (6-0, 6 KOs) might be the best heavyweight in all of the UK. I realize that the 20-year-old Fury hasn’t really beaten anyone of note other than Lee Swaby, Matthew Ellis and a handful of other low quality fighters. However, it’s the manner that Fury is dispatching them, the ease that he’s taking them out that is so impressive and what makes me feel that Fury could be the best there is.
