Fury is a clam. He is now a world champion clam. He will go down as one of the worst champions in recent memory.

Not surprised Klitchko will take the rematch. He wouldn't want to go out like that.
If Lennox would of lost to Vitali he wouldn't of retired. Difference is Lennox got the job done when he had to, while Vlad was awful. |

So it seems rematch is happening then in Britain. If wlad wins that then no doubt they'll be another.

Massive congratulations to Tyson Fury on his convincing win. Well done mate!
I usually predict a fight, and didn't on this occasion because it was a bit negative. It was that Fury had the tools to beat Klitschko, but the occasion would probably get to him and he wouldn't have the mental strength. I was wrong. Big tests lie ahead though with Wilder and later Joshua, who Fury admitted 'beat him up' in the gym when sparring a while back. Tyson has a huge reach though, and is very smart in the ring. He can also clearly keep a cool head, which is a massive advantage. Well done to De Gale as well, who has improved a lot since the Groves loss. Groves got a bit greedy in trying to move on too quickly, and for all the trash talk about Froch and his trainer Robert McCracken, Groves needs people around him who will tell him what he needs to hear, not what he wants to hear. |

Can't believe Sky are putting Joshua on PPV this early in his career, greedy bleeders!

Wow, i got that completely wrong, thought Klitsch would out class and out strength Fury...
Listened to it outside a bar on 5 Live... Seems like Mike Costello made it sound more exciting than it actually was! |

the fury fight was a horrible watch. both fighters punching output was shocking and did nothing to excite heavyweight boxing.
well done to fury though, not really keen on watching a rematch. Degale won no doubt, dont think it was that wide but he deserved to win. |

Its getting to the point that any even half decent fight is put on box office and considering how much people pay for sky sports anyway its a joke and just greed as you say. |

Very happy for Fury and he boxed a great gameplan.
Heavyweight boxing though on the whole is a joke. The actual fight was awful. Yes Fury had to make it messy but in 12 rounds of world championship boxing, it looked like two big men having a drunken fight. |

Mike Tyson in his prime would of probably knocked both out within a few rounds.

If he'd have fought a younger, faster fighter, he would have lost last night! A pre Froch 2 fight George Groves would have beaten DeGale last night/this morning! I take my hat off to Bute, he put a superb performance! |

Fury knees buckled in the 12th round and I think that if he fought AJ and AJ did his usual approach and if AJ is not chinny then I doubt Fury will be able to take AJ's shots either but because of Wlad's uber caution yesterday, we still don't know how well Fury is under a full on bad attack and we need to find out! Just like we need to find out/see how AJ can take a big shot or not. Btw, what was this spat between Lennox Lewis and Fury? Was it just on Twiiter in the build up to this fight or has it been going on years and if so what was Fury saying? |

Im one of very few people who thought he was quite lucky to win that fight. Watching it back, I guess he did deserve to win, but only just imo. I don't think he's anywhere near 'all time great status' yet. He'll need to do a lot more, and be a lot better, if he's ever going to be considered 'the best'.

Good post fight press conference from the Heavyweights. You see more of their real personality in these rather than the hyping pre fight stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmDwmpISZ3I

No idea what the spat was about. Agree though fury needs to be tested. I'm also not sure how bigger puncher he is which sounds ridiculous considering the size of him. There must be some power there. Yeah AJ will also have to step up in class which I'm sure he will do next year. The thing with mike Tyson was is just threw bombs left or right and didn't give them time to breathe. If they had a suspect chin then run because it wouldn't be over pretty quick. Muslcle wise, Fury's never seemed that big to me but people don't always have to have bulging muscles to have a lot of power like. I sure hope a future fight with AJ would see AJ taking the fight to him and not getting spooked the way Wlad seemed to be. I was really surprised with Wlad as he was so up for it against Haye and so out did him on everything and was supremely confident against Haye but last night none of that was really there but he did try and counter Fury somewhat but he was too cautious. The ring seemed far to big too and I think that didn't work in Wlad's favour either as he couldn't cut off the ring to Fury. I wonder if Fury demanded a big ring? Smart move if he did. As for Tyson, some people survived the young Tyson's early onslaughts like Tony Tucker, James Bonecrusher Smith and Pinklon Thomas but they did not have enough to frustrate him and outbox him like Douglas and Hollyfield did. I think Tucker could have but he may have lost his confidence during the fight. |

Looks like the spat between Fury and Lewis was that Lewis was asked who would win and Lewis predicted Wlad would win by KO and that Fury woudn't dominate boxing. Fury called Lewis a "Has been" on twitter and also said "he's another bare bum in the shower". Whatever that means!
I don't think that dig was worthy in anyway. All fighters have to retire at some point and what matters is how good they were while they were fighting, not once they have retired. Lennox Lewis has more than proved himself and his words/views can't be dismissed in that way at all. http://www.skysports.com/boxing/news...m-lennox-lewis |

De Gale wins on points with 2 judges giving it him by 6 rounds and the other by 4 rounds
Jim Watt had it 114-114 and Nick Halling had it to De Gale by 1 round I only caught the last 2 rounds which Bute clearly won Pesonally I had DeGale winning by 3 rounds but there were some close rounds to be fair ... Watt needs punted ASAP as he seems to decide something and then scores the fight to fill that belief, not what he is actually watching. |

I really don't want to see a rematch. I don't see how the fight would be any different as Vladimir is just to frightened to let his hands go. The usual plan of fighting wasn't an option last night and after 3 rounds he had to do something different but wouldn't or couldn't. The guy suffers from muscle memory where the punch and hold is ingrained. I don't think he can fight another way. Vlad doesn't even throw bodyshots. |
