I'm a huge fan of Tyson Fury, so I will be supporting him big time for his upcoming bout with David Haye. I see that some users on this site seem to criticize Fury, and that's understandable, but personally I think Tyson Fury is awesome and a great role model.
Fury is totally confident, in some ways he reminds me of Vitali Klitschko, he's like that type of "born fighter" who never gets intimidated. Lol, I think its awesome. At the press conference he was making fun of David Haye, and refusing to look him in the eye. I thought it was hilarious. And Tyson demanding an 80% split was also hilarious.
As for the fight, as much as I like Tyson Fury, I admit its going to be hard for him to win the fight. However let me just say this:
- Tyson Fury can surprise you. Don't count him out. He has all the confidence in the world. He also has tremendous size, and he fights intelligently. He is more talented than people give him credit for. His KO win over Cunningham was extremely impressive. No one has ever knocked Cunningham out before, and he's fought pretty much everybody at his weightclass. To be completely honest, Cunningham VS Haye would be a fight that I expect would be competitive and in portions, I'd expect Cunningham to outbox Haye.
- Tyson Fury has a huge size advantage, and the later the fight goes, the better Fury's chances. His methodical breakdown of Cunningham was so impressive. Its going to be hard to survive the first few rounds against Haye because of Haye's powershots, but if Tyson is careful and makes it to round 4 or 5, I can see him putting Haye on the ropes and brutally breaking him down. Haye is going to have trouble keeping such a big man off of him. For what its worth, Haye also has shown chin issues in the past and his punch resistance and durability is questionable.
The more I think about it, the more I like Fury's chances in the fight. He needs to *be careful* and box in a measure the first 4 rounds, but after that he needs to back Haye up and pound him.
I think if Tyson fights smart he can win this, possibly even by stoppage. He's got the size and the strength. Haye has been knocked out before and he is not the most durable fighter. If Tyson survives early, then puts pressure on, I see him winning by TKO.
Let's go Tyson Fury! Super excited for this fight.
