AJ vs Fury

Finally!

I’ve been critical in the past as to the reluctance of appetite from the AJ camp, so let’s hope this happens.
 
Lot of talk over here about us hosting the Fury Wilder fight, even Bob Arum has got on board!! We'll see, not holding my breath.
 
Do you think they will do Stateside with this or pimp it out like AJs last fight? It would be brilliant to see it happen in the U.K. (although slim chance I would think).
 
He better bloody spark Wilder out and not ruin this fight of the century. Everyone is going Fury, but I think it's wafer thin, and could go either way. It's easy to avoid the big shots of a windmilling chancer, but not so easy against someone with a solid boxing style and an olympic gold (which is always a gold standard for great technique). If AJ can work on his head movement, and not come in too heavy, then I think he has a huge chance.

Fury will outbox him no problem, I even think he will knock him out. Look over AJs fights he has got so lucky in most of them and then his luck ran out against Ruiz, he has a glass jaw.
 
Fury all the way for me. AJ to be the richest boxer this country has ever seen though and he's just a slightly advanced version of Frank Bruno.
 
Fury contracted to America, the money’s in Vegas, that’s where it’ll be. They can make more with 15k in Vegas than 90k in Wembley. Ppv market more lucrative in America

He hasn't really got a glass jaw, he has been caught by some very good shots, and yes he was certainly buzzed by the Klitschko knock down, but he was fine within a round. The only one that has really hurt him was that one behind the ear from Ruiz. Nobody has ever actually knocked him out cold.

The bookies odds are just reflective of the bets they get. Fury has been built up as impregnable by the press, but we know he can get caught and put on his butt, not just by big punchers like Wilder, and we know he can get bad cuts. Fury is brilliant, but he isn't superman, there are chinks in his armour.

Saying AJ is a slightly better Bruno in my opinion is very unfair too. Bruno won a title at the fourth try, then lost it again straight away. He lost to pretty much every top 10 boxer he fought, Tyson, Lewis, Smith, Wetherspoon, he just got beat up by them, AJs record is the opposite to that. Bruno had a massive straight right but not a lot else. Joshua has a much better set of punches, a great uppercut (ask Klitschko), a great jab (ask Ruiz), he showed great footwork and workrate against Ruiz too. His chink is that his head movement isn't great. Saying that, Fury isn't known for concussive punching, AJ's lack of head movement would be much more of a problem against Wilder than Fury.

For me Fury is slight favourite, but it can go either way.

There is still a long way to go for this to happen, I remember the idea that Tyson would fight Holyfield first collapsed when Tyson got beat. Ditto Lewis Holyfield IIRC when Lewis lost. Sometimes keeping your eyes on the current fight can be effected knowing the next opponent. I hope that isn't the case here.

Problem with the Bruno comparison is he thought the best in the world and lose. Joshua has beat a lot of top 10 fighters but it’s like say Liverpool beating 4-10th in the league. You need to beat the top 2 also. So for augments sake Man City and Man Utd are the other 2. They play each other while Liverpool beat the lower lot doesn’t make their record better.

Fury went into a scenario he was 4/1 against klitcko away from home (I know the spelling is wrong) against someone who hadn’t lost in 10 years. Watch the fight back on sky sports see how he executes game plan perfectly

Joshua head movement is massive concern v fury as hell jab his head off all night.
 
If AJ prepares well gets his training right he'll win the first fight. Age will catch up on Fury who does the minimum fitness work and AJ wear him down. Fury's heart has seen him through his lack of fitness before but its only a matter of time before the legs go before the heart.
Second bout would be a closer call because Fury will prepare well.

AJ Fight 1
Fury Fight 2
Fight 3?
