Winning is the game and Tyson Fury is the name

fury54By Adam Mccoy: I understand in boxing critics are everywhere. A fighter could have a near perfect fight winning every round in the process but still has to answer his critics after the fight. Maybe he didn’t stick to the jab enough? He got caught and his legs buckled slightly so he now may have a glass chin. It all gets ridiculous if you ask me. I’d like to take this time to talk about heavyweight contender Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s).

Tyson is a boy compared to the vast majority of heavyweights. He’s 24 years old and sometimes seems to be punching above his weight slightly. Admittedly, yes, if Tyson stepped in the ring right now with Wladimir Klitschko (59-3 50Ko), I don’t think it would end well for Fury. However, what is the shame is Tyson fighting Wladimir and losing? I see a lot of people saying Tyson will get destroyed if he faces either of the Klitschko brothers and, yes, maybe he would but what’s the problem.

Schaefer: We want Deontay to fight David Price or Tyson Fury

wilder7By Scott Gilfoid: Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer says he’d like to set up a fight between his fighter unbeaten heavyweight contender Deontay Wilder (28-0, 28 KO’s) and the top British heavyweights David Price or Tyson Fury if they’re willing to fight him.

Schaefer doesn’t think they are, but he’s very, very interested in making that fight if either of them gets the courage to accept the fight with the 6’7” knockout artist Wilder.

Deontay stopped one of Britain’s best heavyweights in Audley Harrison in the 1st round last night in Sheffield. It’s too bad Britain’s two biggest heavyweights won’t step up to the plate to fight Deontay because it kind of looks bad that they don’t want to test themselves against him.

Deontay calls out Tyson Fury after smashing Audley out in one round

fury1By Scott Gilfoid: Heavyweight contender Deontay Wilder (28-0, 28 KO’s) made easy work of British heavyweight Audley Harrison (31-7, 23 KO’s) tonight in smashing him out in a one round blowout at the Motorpoint Arena in Sheffield, UK. Deontay left Audley in a heap in the corner after hitting him with an avalanche of punches after stunning him with a huge right hand to the head.

When asked after the fight who he wants to fight next, Deontay said “Fee fi fum fum, I’m the man with the right hand bomb. Tyyyyson Fuuuuury. Oh where oh where, oh where can he be? For he the next man that I wanna see. Sheffield, England, do you agree?”

A Look Back On Last Weeks Boxing

fury54By Shane Newsome: With a heavy schedule of fights on both sides of the pond its easy for a fight or a whole fight card to have been missed by a casual boxing fan recently and could be forgiven, and if this is the site you use for all you boxing news (which for a lot of people that may be the case) then its too easy to get drawn in by a bias writers opinion of a fight.

Starting in Blackpool, Lancashire, UK and the main event on this card between Brian Rose (23-1-1) and Joachim Alcine (33-4-1) here was a case of a European level fighter in Brian Rose attempting to begin to build a bridge towards world level and for this he picked a once formidable opponent in former WBA Light-Middleweight Champion Joachim Alcine, Rose acquitted himself well in a relatively uneventful (in comparison to the other fights on the night) fight and walked away with a win via a 12th round TKO.

Deontay Wilder: Tyson Fury is the UK’s best heavyweight

YouTube video
By Scott Gilfoid: American heavyweight Deontay Wilder (27-0, 27 KO’s) sees unbeaten Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) as the best heavyweight in the UK right now, above David Price and David Haye. Deontay says he wants to face Tyson Fury and the winner of the Price vs. Tony Thompson II rematch if possible.

Wilder told I Film London “David Haye has been out of the scene and David Price lost. It only leaves Tyson Fury now…he’s been handling business, he keeps winning, and so now the best English heavyweight is Tyson Fury. That’s definitely a future option. We’d definitely sell out a lot of arenas.”

Tyson Fury to iron out mistakes against Pulev

fury14By Daniel Mcglinchey: Undefeated giant Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) is currently in negotiations with Kubrat Pulev (17-0, 9 KO’s) for a show down that will hopefully take place in the summer.

Fury put in a poor performance recently against former 2 time world cruiserweight champion Steve Cunningham. Fury seemed to want to please the crowd by brawling rather than show case his boxing skills. He still knocked Steve out but it wasn’t the Tyson we are used to. Anyone who watched Tyson Fury’s match-up’s with his previous 3 opponents Martin Rogan, Vinny Maddalone and Kevin Johnson know that Tyson Fury is a far better boxer than he showed against Steve Cunningham, possibly due to the absence of his Uncle/Trainer Peter Fury who has transformed his career since taking over 15 months ago (4 months before the Martin Rogan fight.)

Haye targeting Tyson Fury

fury444By Scott Gilfoid: Tyson Fury’s poor performance in beating Steve Cunningham last Saturday night in New York seems to have changed former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye’s mind about not wanting to fight him. Haye’s manager/trainer Adam Booth says they want to set up a fight against the big 6’9” [or 6’7”] Fury in the Autumn after Haye takes a tune-up fight on June 29th at the Manchester Arena in the UK.

Booth said to thesun.co.uk “David [Haye] against Fury is the most natural heavyweight fight out there. It is the most logical high profile fight in Great Britain, if not the world, right now…it would be massive. I am waiting to make contact with Fury’s promoter.”

It doesn’t take a genius to see why Haye and Booth have had a change of heart about wanting to fight Fury. All you have to do is watch how vulnerable Fury looked against Cunningham to know that he’s an easy mark for someone like Haye to destroy.

The future of heavyweight boxing

wilder23By Matty Buckland: Recently we have seen a couple of the top young heavyweight contenders to the Klitschko brothers crowns fight and we have seen David Price found wanting in his bout against Tony Thompson. The other 2 young prospects, Deontay Wilder who will be taking on Audley Harrison soon and Tyson Fury who has just had a TKO victory over Steve Cunningham.

A lot has been said on this site about these 3 young fighters, by fans and writers alike and some of it is very one sided and at times been extremely xenophobic and Id like to give a fair and impartial look at them as opposed to some writers purely negative views just because of the fighters nationality.

Should Wladimir fight Fury next?

wladimir564By Stevie Ocallaghan: After a fairly unimpressive victory over the game but ultimately outsized Steve Cunningham last Saturday night at Madison Square Garden, Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) is now proclaiming that he will KO Wladimir Klitschko if he gets the chance to fight him next.

The thing with him saying this is at 6’9″ and nearly 260lbs if he can land on Wladimir , he could KO him as Wladimir doesn’t have the greatest punch resistance, but neither does Fury. In fairness when Cunningham put Fury down in the 2nd , he was hurt but his head was still in the game and coped well.

Tyson Fury: I took Steve into a dog fight, and he couldn’t hack it.

fury3By Daniel Mcglinchey: Heavyweight Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) knocked out Steve Cunningham (25-6, 12 KO’s) in brutal fashion on Saturday in the 7th round.

This was a below par performance by Tyson Fury’s standards, and I think it mainly came down to the absence of the man who transformed his career his Uncle/Trainer Peter Fury, who had visa problems stopping him from entering the US. at the last minute.

Tyson seemed to go out there and plant his feet, drop his hands and fight with his heart rather than control the ring, use his jab and fight with his head much like he did against Kevin Johnson (28-3, 13 KO’s).

In my eyes Tyson won the first round fairly comfortably but lost concentration by taunting and talking to Steve and ultimately In round 2 Tyson was caught with a wild right and hit the canvas, unaffected he collected himself and rose back to his feet.
