Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury Beats Down Vinny Maddalone Over Five
Hand Arena, Clevedon, Somerset - Tyson Fury (19-0, 14KOs) stopped Vinny Maddalone (35-8, 26KOs) in five rounds to capture the vacant WBO Inter-Continental heavyweight title
Yes, Maddalone is not a good fighter, and there'll be no excuses from me about a poor opponent. However, I have a sneaking suspicion that, behind the whole "circus" banter, Fury might be beginning to really improve as a fighter, putting in the hard yards in training and making his jab in particular look like a real weapon. Yes, a bum fight. Definitely a bum fight. That shouldn't, however, gloss over the fact that Fury is improving.
Of course, this is Fury, so I might be TOTALLY wrong

Totally agree. Something clicked about 8 or 9 months ago & he now seems to live like an athlete. I was very impressed with his combinations & movement. I'd still have Price a favourite over him but the longer the fight goes the more I lean towards Fury.
