How come Tyson Fury is fighting at 5pm in New York, surely no one will be watching that early?

As it is a pointless fight. The guy he is fighting is a Cruiserweight!

Add to that Cunningham has lost 5 from his last 11 and all of those loses were against cruiser weights.

I like Fury but this is mismatch of a fight

I asked this some time ago as its 3pm in Vegas so no one watching although I believe it does have US TV coverage.

Michael Buffer could not sound less bothered if he tried.

Fighting a 36 year old, another joke of a fight. Are there so few fighters out there?

How in God's name did Fury get this elimination fight? He has absolutely no defence? Why does he not keep his guard up?

He got what he deserved by being floored - idiotic bravado is going to cost him the fight.

Wladimir Klitschko in 13 days.

Took a beating.



Fury coming out to The Boys Of The Old Brigade. I can see more than a few being unhappy with that.

A Fury loss here would pretty much force a fight against Price.

He used his forearm to set Cunningham's head up for a sucker punch.

I like fury but a fight against either of the Klitschkos would be so one-sided in their favour. Fury needs to improve his defence because for all his heart his chin is suspect. He hasn't fought anyone at the highest level so I think he'd be better fighting a few before the Klitschkos.

I think he'd be better waiting for them to retire.

Fury has said this morning:

"He put up a good fight but he lost to the better fighter,"
"It's a learning experience, many are picked but few are chosen. I'm the ultimate fighter and will fight anybody"

Is Don King secretely promoting him because if he believes his own hype then he is seriously deluded

The better fighter didn't win, the bigger one did.

Had Alvarez winning closely last night, although a couple of the scorecards were very harsh to Trout and leave a bit of a sour taste in the mouth.

I genuinely hate Tyson Fury. If this is what boxing has become (it isn't) then its a new low.

The difference is that in years gone, someone would have put him on his arse permanently a long time ago. We are so short of talent now that he can somehow blunder his way to the top.
