Chisora so far looked better in the first fight when he came in as a blob.
Fury (white shorts) 
This fight is fecking dreadful.
He always looks like this. He's a beast.
The state of Heavyweight boxing, Chisora is ranked 6th in the World 
If Anthony Joshua develops as expected he has every chance of being a star. Be nice if Wilder would actually fight someone without handles on their shorts though, find out how good he actually is.

Bad blood? More like Bad bod.
Fury's won every round so far, it's a pretty stale fight.

This is like a undercard fight, the crowd is silent.

Saw him fight last year at this venue, I was half pissed though and missed the best of the action...
Klitschko would beat the two of these lads together on his own.
It's like watching two walruses having it out over a potential mate on the Discovery Channel.
No wonder there are boos.

A proper fighter would beat the Klit blindfold, with both hands tied behind is back.
Fury vs Klitschko would be 2 guys standing in opposite corners bopping each other on the forehead until one of them gets tired.
This is terrible, both awful boxers. How is it the winner of this gets to fight Wlad?! Ridiculous.
Not at all, Klit would hit him so many times with his right he'd be begging for a left.
The HW cupboards are bare, its a poor division and has been for years.
Chisora looks terrible, he has no energy not even from round 1.
Even the ref's bored with this
Main event and the ref has to have a word
To avoid clashing with Chisora's red shorts...
Now correctly captioned as black & gold shorts
Pah! Klit would get licked.
You think Chisora's corner will throw in the towel?
Shit fight and the winner gets to fight Klitschko? God help them.
Good job Tyson
Thank God that's over. Terrible fight.
It's been stopped.
Poor Chisora never stood a chance really, he has heart but he's not a top level boxer.

He's really beaten him up, got to feel sorry for him tbh, shouldn't have gone on so long.
If he could loose the flab, he'd be a far more intimidating prospect.
Outclassed him. Used his reach.
I think Fury would do well against Klitschko. Possibly not win, but definitely give him a good fight.
I think Wlad wipes the floor with Fury personally.
Tyson has done very well to stay discplined and box to game plans in fights, switch stances and be effective from them but he's chinny and doesn't have the power to worry Klitschko. Not saying he can't hurt Wlad but it would be a Hail Mary shot, given the height distance it travels to land, not a constant threat.
He may be taller and heavier than Wlad but that's about it. Klitschko is faster, stronger, hits harder with both hands regularly than any shot Fury has ever thrown, more experienced and simply a greater fighter in every aspect. Also the height issue isn't as great as it sounds, given Wlad is only 4 inches shorter on reach. Its not like it's putting Wlad in the small man game against a giant, it's just a marketability thing that I feel will be grossly over played. The only thing it means is Klitschko wouldn't do the arm tangle weight wrestle every 30 seconds but in my book, he wouldn't need to, Fury doesn't move fast enough to need to slow him down and impose himself.
I'd wish him success in any fight against Klitschko of course but looking at it logically, it's very unlikely in my eyes.

I thought that, but then I watched a few of the press conferences (from before the fight) and Eubank Jr made a point by saying he 'doesn't need advice and doesn't listen to anyone - he fights by himself, 1 in a million that can judge the tactics himself.' He also turned up to one press conference with no one by his side - almost to prove this point.
Got to say I was massively disappointed in Eubank, really got behind him as I love boxers with charisma and arrogance but he couldn't back up his words and I think he will have to do a DeGale, win some fights on Channel 5 before making his way back to the big time. This defeat will take some getting over, especially as he was sold as the most dangerous man on the planet and didn't really rock Saunders once.

Great comeback from Manny in the Mayweather debate.
The Kitschkos usually benefit from a jab reach advantage over their opponents. That obviously wouldn't work with Fury, so it it would be interesting to see how Wlad changes his tactics to compensate being on the other side of a reach advantage.
Considering Emanuel Steward trained both the fighters and told Fury he was the next in line to be champion, it should be a good fight. Even if Wlad is a much better boxer, Fury has already been in the ring with him and sparred countless hours. Also as this was when Fury was beginning his career, there is a bigger chance that he would have evolved more than Klitschko. Don't be surprised if he can win a world title.
Fury gives Wlad his toughest fight out there, no doubt about that
I think Anthony Joshua will clean up the division in a year or two. The problem is that he'll have nobody near his class to fight (a bit like the klitchkos post Lewis)
