Tyson Furys bro fails to hurt or knock down 7-5 MMA can

FIghtxIQ said:
I'm sure it was the game plan, Fury didn't do much until the last round and it was clear he was holding back. He opened up enough just to put a stamp on it to let people know he was holding back that are paying attention. Lots of boxers do this because they know if they have a performance that is too good they get ducked and it's hard to get the fights they want.

So did he trip Anthony Taylor from dramatic effect or was he trying to injure him?

Tommy should have been disqualified.

Probably just in the moment of the clinch. Boxers tip-toe around the rules and lots of boxers are rough on the clinches and breaks.
 
Almost as bad as “former MMA world champion who was once heralded by some as greater than GSP and had a killer right hand just lost to Justin Bieber”
 
And TBE went the distance with a youtuber.. so what

My point is just that I think this unraveling will eventually impact all of it.

The sideshow appeal of freak fights will woo promoters/venue holders and enthrall the average fan.

It wont. Ppl know its YouTuber beating up MMA fighters by exploiting their weakness, which is their boxing skills.
Only person I hear that says "Look at the state of boxing" is Dana White. Because he knows, ppl are sitting there going " I thought that guy was a fighter and he couldn't even punch for shit"
It looks bad for MMA.

Yeah a lot of boxers do it. Caleb Plant just did it recently to try and bait Canelo into a fight and it worked. When the skill difference is significant, boxers know they can coast and just win on points pretty easily.

No. Caleb couldve had the performance of his life and Canelo would still want to fight him. Canelo wants that 4th belt to completely unify 168.
 
Tommy Fury just sucks. He didn't go easy, he's just no good and that's why they've never put him in with anyone with anything resembling a pulse.

There is a reason why it's taken this long. He could've went after him earlier but chose other boxers. Caleb is a slick style boxer, his style could give Canelo the most problems out of everyone else he's fought. Everyone else is very text book. Sanders was giving Canelo a bit of trouble in the beginning with all his movement and Caleb has way better movement/footwork. They've also sparred with each other in the past and Caleb was getting him with counters and messing with his rhythm with his footwork and movement. Canelo is better vs textbook boxers, slick style boxing gives lots of boxers problems. Canelo incorporated slick style boxing into his style after the Mayweather loss, but he's been using it vs more text book boxers. He hasn't been facing other high level slick style boxers.

He fought other champions. Had he fought Caleb first, youd say he was ducking BJs or Callum. If he fought all 3 at the same time, you and @Roids would complain that it doesnt matter because Benavidez wasnt one of the 3. When there was 4 champs, Caleb was the worst. Canelo, Callum, BJS, and then Caleb. Caleb's delaying his shot because he knows this is the end of being a World Champion.
 
Tyson's first 7 opponents compared to Tommy's

Yes but none of them are high level slick style boxers. That is the difference. They were more textbook style fighters. High level slick style boxers are the hardest fights to fight in boxing.
