By Scott Gilfoid: #1 WBO heavyweight contender Tyson Fury (24-0, 18 KOs) defeated a very sluggish looking and incredibly slow Christian Hammer (17-4, 10 KOs) by an 8th round stoppage on Saturday night at the O2 Arena in London, UK.
By Scott Gilfoid: #3 WBO German based heavyweight contender Christian Hammer (17-3, 10 KOs) is predicting a knockout victory over #1 WBO Tyson Fury (23-0, 17 KOs) in their scheduled 12 round fight this Saturday night on February 28th at the O2 Arena in London, UK.
Hammer, 27, not only plans on stopping the 6’9” Fury, but he sees it as a clinical knockout where he knocks Fury out cold. That’s going to be kind of hard for Hammer to do, because he’s not a big puncher.
Hammer’s got cruiserweight type power at the heavyweight level, and he’s also not very tall at just 6’2”. It’s going to be awfully tough for Hammer to lay a glove on Fury, especially with the way he fights nowadays with him staying on the outside and holding a lot.
By Scott Gilfoid: Barry McGuigan believes that WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (33-0, 32 KOs) is someone that unbeaten Tyson Fury can beat if and when that fight takes place in the future.
McGuigan says Fury needs to make a statement in his next fight against Christian Hammer (17-3, 10 KOs) this month on February 28th at the O2 Arena in London, United Kingdom. I’m not sure what kind of statement that Fury can make against a fighter of this class, because Hammer struggled badly to defeat journeyman Kevin Johnson in their fight in December of 2013.
