    You do know the consensus is Fury is the best heavy weight in the world and it's not even close, not even a boxer's chance because he knows how to grab and hold limiting the firepower of any opponent's tactics?

    Was that the same consensus with the aj fight the other week? Don’t get me wrong fury’s shown against wilder it will take a LOT for him to get knocked out.

    I hate the way Galahad boxes, he wrestles as much as he boxes.

    Galahad has to turn it on if he is capable, not throwing enough or looking classy enough. Also stumbling and awkwardly tripping when trying to get out of the way of Warrington a lot.

    If Galahad is meant to be good he should be looking better than this.

    Aye. Galahad is ripping the * with the clinching though. He's clinching constantly and is all head and elbows/forearms when he does

    AJ's defeat was a resounding see I told you so because he's never been tested and I think got lazy expecting it easy but Fury for some reason is regarded as unbeatable. I just don't understand the dynamic, most unbeatable boxers have a dynamic, something explosive, has Fury ever fought an explosive fight?

    This fight could be heading for a draw on the cards, it wouldn't surprise me.

    Ref has ruined this..

    Said he'd let them fight inside but they aren't fighting inside they're clinching and he's let it go far too often..

    Just walks straight constantly, nowhere near world class as people have claimed. A very limited fighter imo.

    Be interesting to see the shots thrown shots landed stats. Galahad’s made him miss all night
