    Strange fight, Cunningham is far more skilled than Fury, but he's barely 200lbs.

    Interesting fight yeah. Be interesting to see how Fury copes with his movement and skill.

    Steve's "skill" is way overrated.

    Will still be the best boxer Fury's fought but Fury's not that slow and will use his superior size to good effect.

    Smart match making by Fury's people. Cunningham is coming off a close fight with Adamek so he has some momentum and a win over him will be pretty big for Fury (By Fury's standards) And on top of that Cunningham is a lot smaller and doesn't have a punch. The risk reward ratio is great for Fury. He simply is too big and too oafish for the small , chinny and overrated Cunningham. Fury by middle round KO or since he's so scrubby late round tko or decision.

    Compared to a guy who punched himself in the face, I'd say he's pretty skilled.

    Seriously if that were being scored by compubox would that count as a landed punch?

    I don't think they should "award" Fury anything I mean it's kinda counter productive to reward bad behaviour. You don't want him to do it again. Well maybe we do but still I would give it to the other guy afterall it's because of the other guy the punch laded on Fury. Yes Fury laded it but if it wasn't for the other guy being there for Fury to try and punch it wouldn't land . Get it ?

    Never heard of these boxers. Are they good? This Cunningham reminds me of that tv show Happy Days. Is Mr. Tyson Fury related to Mike Tyson?

    Cunningham is shitty fighter who won himself some more time by doing well vs. Adamek...but will get KO once he fight a heavyweight with a pulse.

    Yes Mike Tyson and Fury were cellmates....Fury took the Tyson name after he had his anus retreaded.

    So Mr. Cunningham is a true Richie Cunningham: a wannabe Fonzie.

    Holy Mother of God, that was awful to be raped in jail! Why will he adopt the name of his rapist?

    Fury-Cunningham a done deal for April 20th in New York. Fury's debut in the US. Winner will face Pulev, with the winner of that getting a shot at Wlad.

    Similar to Chambers vs Dimitrenko, but Chambers is better than Cunningham.

    Not sure if Fury is better than Dimitrenko, but he might be.

    That intro is brutal. Some of the pictures in the montage are random as hell too. It goes from a shot of Muhammad Ali to John Lovitz then to some black chick with a crown on. What the hell?

    Ok this is how it went down. As soon as I saw it's 30 mins I skipped about half way. Heard Fury's gay voice and my ears begged me to turn it off but I was firm I said hold on you guys don't be homophobic let's give this a shot and then the interviewer started saying how Cunningham beat Adamek (which is a total lie) and I did a Ramonza and just bounced .
