GGG is back

[hobbes2702 13165]

Well GGG looks good. 

[pops 7044]

They better make that third fight. 

[Zavala 1384]

Tyson Fury tonight, going against an undefeated German...

Rooting for Fury to get some hype and take all his belts back by next year.

[Bozo_Casanova 26688]

I have to admit I love watching Tyson Fury fight. He’s just very slick. Despite the obvious fact that he’s a 6’9” fat man, he’s highly skilled, has good handspeed and has the best footwork currently in the heavyweight division.
He also throws a 1-2 combination with a low left jab that comes in wide and behind, encouraging his opponent to slip, distracting him, and when he does, Fury throws an overhand right while his left arm is still partially extended. It’s totally unique.

Seeing this weigh in and then the pics of Ali/Foreman...I know Fury is skilled but these are two out of shape dudes that are gonna slug it out.  I think it will be entertaining but the heavy weight division has fallen a long ways.

Doughy body does not equal out of shape.

Cain Velasquez ruled the heavyweight division in MMA for years until injuries took a toll.  He had by far the best cardio in the division too.

Neither of these guys is out of shape. In fact Fury has incredible longevity in fights. Fury also doesn’t “slug it out” with anyone. He isn’t a brawler at all.

Fury looks like he is in way better shape than the Wilder fight. Dude was out punching Wilder in the 12th round after taking that bomb, he's in crazy shape for his size.

[hobbes2702 13165]

Anthems

[BigOrange1 6561]

[Zavala 1384]

I hope Fury puts him down early, I'm wakin' up and going surfin ass early tomorrow.

Holy shit has Mark Davis always had that retard haircut? Poor millionaire. 

[hobbes2702 13165]

Please don’t be overly cocky and lose this fight Tyson. 

Schwarz looks a lil thicc compared to weigh ins

[hobbes2702 13165]

Look at that stool lol. That’s awesome 

[hobbes2702 13165]

Fury takes round 1.

[Zavala 1384]

got em a big boy stool and he still doesn't even use it

[hobbes2702 13165]

Fury’s head movement is incredible 

[hobbes2702 13165]

Tyson is incredible 

[spystud13 2371]

That was easy. 

[Zavala 1384]

Bring on Wilder. 

[hobbes2702 13165]

Fury is just an incredible athlete. I think he’s better than Wilder and Joshua. Of course I also thought he won like 8 rounds of the Wilder fight and should be the title holder. Gypsy King looks fully back.

[BigOrange1 6561]

my god what a performance.

He clearly won the fight, even with the knock down in the last round. Total garbage they called that a draw. 

Wilder is fucked, getting Fury when he's just back into the game was his only chance.

If Fury can keep his shit together and keep working he outboxes Wilder easily in the rematch. He was making him look stupid the first fight, next time around he will punish him worse because he's got experience against him, tape on him, and he will be in much better shape.

[hobbes2702 13165]

Why is this happening lol?

[Zavala 1384]

lol Fury singing Aerosmith to his slag in the ring, what a baller.

1. Gypsy

2. King

[Goo Punch 4275]

Fury pieced him up like we all knew he would. coming out southpaw for the second round was brilliant.

 

[pops 7044]

I don't think Wilder has a prayer against this version of Fury. But fuck I want to see it. 

[michaelpshayes 417]

 

[Bozo_Casanova 26688]

The guy was basically announcing his shots, but still impressive.
Tyson Fury rolls his shoulders and slips and moves his head at the level of James Toney or Ezzard Charles despite being naturally 100 pounds heavier and nearly a foot taller.

[BNB 100]

I stopped watching boxing after Lennox Lewis.  I got back into it b/c Tyson is so entertaining.  I have watched a ton of youtube vids of him.

He is so quick for a big man.  So fun to watch.

Loved the intro and Aerosmith song at the end

dude be real, he's two, maybe three lbs heavier than James Toney. maybe. 

[Bozo_Casanova 26688]

James Toney isn’t a real heavyweight or even cruiser. He’s a big MW. I’m old enough to remember when James Toney was the lineal middleweight champ.

[spystud13 2371]

Charlo/Cota on big Fox now. 

[spystud13 2371]

Boom! 

[spystud13 2371]

Cota just died. 

[ATLLonghorn 897]

 

[hobbes2702 13165]

Yea I dunno why he let it continue after the first knockdown.

[spystud13 2371]

Yep, Cota was clearly in a different city after the first one. 

[michaelpshayes 417]

Manny vs Keith Thurman Saturday ...Manny is 40 and this will be thurman’s 2nd fight in 28 months ...My give a shit is next to zero on this one 

Please  get Spence and Crawford in the ring together before they’re both 40 

I’d even take that Kovalev Canelo fight too ...but, I just don’t see Oscar risking that one 

[Goo Punch 4275]

so ready for this Lopez fight tonight.
