“GIANT GYPSY” FURY BEATS LESSER GUY
Tyson Fury
San Francisco, CA– If you look at this picture, can you believe Tyson Fury is only 26 years old? Forget the hair loss, he looks like a 6’7 bus driver with a midriff. That being said, Fury (24-0, 18 whacks) seemingly “pity patted” his way to a TKO 8 win, this after dropping 15-1 underdog Christian Hammer (17-4, 10 KOs) in round five at the O2 Arena in London, UK.
TYSON FURY CAN’T SING ALL THAT WELL
The #1 ranked WBO heavyweight contender, like the Elvis impersonator Tyson Fury or not, (and most people seemingly don’t) the “King of The Irish Gypsies” is now set to face World heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (64-3, 54 KOs) after Wald takes out American Bryant Jennings in a few weeks. A Philadelphian, as Don King would say, “Jennings has two chances. Slim and none, and Slim just left town.” As for Fury, size is his only attribute for if he wasn’t 6’7. he’d be driving a bus and not fightin’ for the title.
“FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE” IN IBF TITLE TILT
In his native Belfast, Ireland, Carl Frampton (20-0, 14 KOs) made an initial defense of the IBF 122 lb. diadem look easy with a TKO 5 over top rated Californian Chris Avalos (25-3, 19 KOs) at the Odyssey Arena. Avalos, who talked as if were King Kong fought like much less as the shorter Frampton worked him over from the start. The referee halted matters with Avalos on unsteady pins in round five at 1:33.
DID FEMALE GET ICON “EARLY XMAS” WIN?
World 154 lb. champ Anne Sophie Mathis (27-3-1, 23 KOs) retained her belt Friday in Sarcelles, France with a Split Decision Draw 12 against former WBO titleholder Oxandia Castillo. Only 20, the Dominican’s Castillo seemed to win most of the rounds in addition to hurting Mathis on a number of occasions. Scores were Mathis 96-94 (6-4 in rounds), 95-95 even and 96-94 Castillo. A rematch is more than likely.
1984 OLYMPIC SILVER MEDAL WINNER RETURNS
In a fight for nostalgia, former World champion Virgil Hill (51-7, 24 KOs) recorded a TKO 2 over Jimmy Campbell (11-8, 8 KOs) Saturday at the Bismarck Event Center in Bismarck, North Dakota. Time was 2:00. Hill’s first ring appearance since dropping a WBA cruiserweight (200 lb.) title scrap in 2007. A member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame, Hill was a great attraction in North Dakota, having worked “sold out” Hill matches in both Bismarck and Minot.
