#GypsyGang in the house.

[Tanahashi Coates]

of course eddie does ..hes going to try to make that wbc mandatory go away for this fight

That was the plan all along. Whyte was just running blocker for Matchroom

He bullied Wilder in there, he really bullied him, at times it was like toying with a child. He walked him down and put a beating on him, that's the most serious I've seen Fury fight, without the bullshyt and antics for the most part, he had a job to do and he did it. What a good move it looks going with Sugar Hill now also, soon as I heard him I knew it could potentially work out well. We should give Sugar Hill his props too because he backed up everything he said too.

i want GGG to work with him instead of Banks now...but thats for another rant/thread

Clear as day he dropped his head to try to avoid the punch

a rabbit punch is someone purposely aiming for the back of the head. Fury was going to connect that and Wilder turned downward. Nothing left to say

yea...

mike has hit somebody after they turned ...he did it against bruno twice...

refs can distinguish if it was intentional or not...

hell manny did it in the 2nd morales fight...

Sugar Hill sounding class, sounds like a good man with knowledge. Someone as a fighter you’d want to be your trainer. From the sounds of what he’s saying they really are going for a knockout, I believe him more than Tyson. Maybe at the least they are working on getting more behind his shots. Certainly sounds a lot more offensive than Ben. Fascinating how it will play out, could be brilliant or backfire hugely. Sugar Hill has a demeanor similar to Manny to me, which is a positive.

Just going through some of the old posts in the thread for context, this fight has also made Sugar Hill a worldwide star as a trainer now. He's gonna have everyone on him now wanting his services. I was really impressed with him, even when I heard him in the corner earlier I was impressed, Sugar Hill and Andy Lee sounds like the way to go for him, he can't do that in every fight, but in many that's what he needs, much more exciting than a lot of his fights also.

I think he has a strong chin. Hes been knocked down, what 2x? And he's taken some good shots throughout his career. I think he has no jab because it's amateurish. Not only does he not throw it enough, but he doesn't put anything behind it. I think we both can agree that he definitely doesn't double or triple up, or feint it, but if he put something behind it a all, it could be dangerous.

3 times. Sconiers, Ortiz and Fury.


Seriously
It was the jab that set up the knockdown in first Fury fight. Normally when he throws the right he telegraphs it. Wilder lowers it, sits down then throws. When he knocked out Fury he caught him with the left then the right. Up until that point Fury saw the right coming from a mile away.

He does need to work on his jab.

Is some gypsy really any more a Great White Hope than the Russians who dominated the heavyweight division for 15 years?

 

[The Ruler 09]

John Fury was right...

Kronk gym stay turning mfs into killers

It's not the WBC mandatory that's in question, that's by February 2021, it's whether Wilder takes the rematch or not. Also the Usyk mandatory situation. Whyte will have to get his shot, he will get it in 2021 if he doesn't lose and Fury isn't made Franchise. They want him to get the shot, he's 1 of their fighters, they just want the AJ vs Fury fight first cause it's even more money.

Always comes to mind when Fury fights

"And a pikey reaction is quite a fukking thing."

I love that whole scene.
