...is a badass mofo. Undefeated, schooled some kid last night. One of the most entertaining boxers I've seen lately. After two decades of watching mostly MMA fights he's brought me back to watching boxing.

Fast forward to 7:45 for second round. Not sure if this clip shows him grabbing the mic and singing, fairly well, an Aerosmith tune to the Vegas crowd, dude is nuts.

Watched it this morning. Guy can move well for a heavyweight

Deceptively fast and agile. There was a spot in the 2nd where his opponent threw 5 or 6 head shots and Fury slipped them easy as pie that was impressive as hell. Plus he makes the goofiest faces...

yea at that point, fight was over.

He's a good fighter, but this opponent was not worthy.

Dude is undefeated, just sayin...

I've seen some of his other fights where he performed equally as well.

We really need that Wilder/Fury rematch to happen stat!

But against what quality of opponent?

Deontay Wilder & Wladimir Klitschko were both quality opponents. He fought Wilder to a draw, but beat Klitschko.

He beat Joe Louis's ass.

"Fury was the first person to stop Steve Cunningham and he did it in the 7th round via KO. 3 wins followed for Fury including being the 2nd person to stop Dereck Chisora , 3rd person to stop Christian Hammer (Round 8 RTD) and 6th person to stop Joey Abell (Round 4 TKO).".

Fury Wilder II needs to happen. Wilder has mad power.

No doubt. And Fury really wasn't in shape for the first fight.

What in the hell is a 'lineal championship'?

I wondered that myself and since you asked...

"Lineal championship
In combat sports where champions are decided by a challenge, the lineal championship of a weight class is a world championship title held initially by an undisputed champion and subsequently by a fighter who defeats the reigning champion in a match at that weight class.".

So, apparently Fury beat the undisputed heavyweight to take the title...

Clear as mud.

What about Andy Ruiz and Deontay Wilder? Fury didn't even win a belt.

It's basically "to be the man you have to beat the man". Fury follows the lineal line of heavy weight champions from his win over Klitschko and has never been beaten.

He moves extremely fast...that much more so for a very large man.

Good footwork and that part where he dodges four shots in a row was superb. Seems like a very nice guy, too.

I'm glad to see the world of boxing has an interesting fighter again. It's been a really long time. Looking forward to his next couple fights!
