Klitschko, Fury, Parker, Takam & Joshua
-
Wow!
-
<p>Well that's egg all over my face. Astonishing.</p>
-
<p>This fight has just been bizarre from the start. First we had a postponement due to injury, then the controversy over the gloves and canvas, and now the result. I suppose we shouldn't be surprised.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You have to admire Fury for backing up his bravado.</p> -

Did anyone on TSF come out and back Fury? He just shocked the world</p></blockquote>
<br>
Not me , but I think it's good for the sport and good for Joseph ( not that he is ready yet ) as the door opens a little more with klitchko career pretty much finished now -
How on earth did one of the judges get 116 to 111? Was a very close fight, but imho Fury didn't do enough to win it.

<p>Fury has a very weird way of boxing, I suspect that put Klitschko off, hard to box when the opponent is all over the place.</p>
<p>Edit: looks like he will take up the rematch option.</p> -

<p>Yes, Fury also switched between orthodox and southpaw.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I didn't even realise the match was live on SS2 this morning. By all accounts it was a borefest - Fury averaged 7 punches landed per round, Klitschko averaged a little under 4.5 punches landed per round.</p>

<p>It would be good to see a unification fight with Wilder but boxers tend to avoid eachother.</p> -

<p>And the boxing fraternity wonder why this MMA lark is becoming more popular. Whatever happened to stand and deliver?</p> -

somehow just doesnt seem quite right for a heavyweight boxing champion</p></blockquote>
He's also banging Hayden Panettiere. -
Didn't see that coming. Also think Fury will be a flash in the pan, can't really see him becoming hanging on to his belts for long. Oh and what's the betting that David Haye suddenly comes out of retirement. <br><br>
Personally hope Joshua proves to be the real deal - seems like a nice humble kid. Tyson can be funny but he does spout some shit, including his anti-gay stuff. Like a lot of "characters" he seems a bit of a cock. -
<p>Considering Fury's defensive MO is leading with his head I don't see a long career at the top, myself.</p>
