chrisjpainter Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 So, tomorrow night, Tyson goes against Sefer Seferi - who's a foot shorter and four stone lighter than him and who's only had one bout at heavyweight (which he lost). Firstly, what's the point in such a non-spectacle? Secondly, has anyone detected a change in Fury over the lead up to this fight? He seems somehow more mellow, less inexplicably nuts in his press releases and, dare I say it, almost human! Bookmakers have odds of 1/1000 for Fury to win. I'm not sure they'll get too many takers!

Gordon R Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 He is just clocking up ring time. It should be a straightforward win and we can expect a few more. I have to say that he has come across as lucid, sensible and realistic in recent interviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshie Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 Eddie Hearn must have told him to keep his mouth shut. I think even Fury would have trouble bigging up this fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShootingEgg Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 I will let you know as i will be ring sode tomorrow evening, purely going for the atmosphere that this will no doubt create.. And ive never been to a live fight before so im looking forward to it. As has been said. This is purely ring time for fury, to get back in the groove and then work his way up to the big guns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 should be a walk in the park, other fella gets punched and a pay check, if he keeps his wits he can only be good for the heavy weight division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are the occasional moments of madness (saying he'd fight both wilder and Aj in the same day!) but that's fine, it wouldn't by Tyson without something outlandish! But the rest of it has been noticeably devoid of the banality and pointlessly insulting that has marked him out before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazooka Joe Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 Quote should be a walk in the park, other fella gets punched and a pay check It should be, I watched the weigh in on the box, Tyson looks way out of shape to me, if Seferi can go the distance Tyson might just run out of steam.

novice cushie shooter Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 Good fight with flannagan. Very badly cut and the yank giving a very good account of himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novice cushie shooter Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 Sooner someone puts fury on his bum the better. 4 rounds with a nomark with very little landed or thrown for that matter. Zzzzzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShootingEgg Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 First time I've been ring side for a fight, sat where the fighters walked in so that made the atmosphere epic eaxh time, shame the main event was so miss matched.. Had a great night though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 During the Fury bout there seemed to be more fighting outside of the ring than in it. Even Fury was peering over the ropes to have a look. A pitiful shambles, as most forecast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sako751sg Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 Pretty much as expected although Fury looked even worse than i expected. Some of Frank Warrens shows are unbelievably poor nowadays and this was another. Fury needs a strong corner to keep him reeled in a bit but with the personnel he has at the moment they are all yes men so cant see his comeback having a happy ending.Ricky Hatton,Billy Joe Saunders and Tysons old fella are not the sort to keep him disciplined and grounded. He has looked pure keech in plenty fights so could still shock us by turning it around but time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m3vert Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Sako, Fury is an embarrassment to boxing at the moment. There is no doubting his punching power or his previous achievements but this fight shouldn't have been allowed. It was a miss match from the outset and purely used as a win for Fury, in years gone by Fury would have knocked that guys heid clean aff!! How anyone would have paid to go and see this is beyond me, looking at the fighting in the crowd I think its clear the audience he is attracting (no offence ShootingEgg). He looked like a big fat lad who had just started boxing rather than a previous world champ, he has a very long way to go before he would get a fight against AJ (who I don't think is the best either but he is miles ahead of Fury at the moment). That said he won't be getting a shot at any decent fighters for at least another year or so anyway I would think. So plenty of time for him to keep munching the burgers and fighting the wee lads I suppose! As you say his corner are not the ones to sort him out, he needs change, oh and a dietician!!! but doubt we will see massive improvement from him over the coming years. Personally I think he is done, but being who he is I could be proved wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offence taken, mate of mine decided she wanted to go so I thought why not, was a great experience and even though a huge miss match, the undercard fights were watchable and being on ring level only about ten rows back was great viewing, atmosphere and a decent group of people around us. I didn't even see the fight in crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
