Re: Tyson Fury vs Francesco Pianeta
Prediction,
Good that Tyson Fury is staying active, he beat Sefer Seferi, but that is a start, and nothing more really, but credit to him that he has his next fight set, and he is active again.
There are two ways of looking at this.
On the one hand,
Pianeta is a lot bigger than Seferi and he must be significantly stronger, he is a good 5 years younger than Seferi, whilst he has had more fights, and he has competed at a higher level than Seferi, has been in against Klitschko, has a win over Duhaphas, which is much better than Seferi achieved at any point, he has had a lot of success at European level, beaten past prime but still defeated Oliver McCall and Frans Botha, which is much better than Seferi, and in comparison to Seferi, there is more you say for his resume and opposition, and really, seeing as this is Fury's second fight back, it sgill hasn't been long, he hasn't been 5 rounds in nearly 3 years, all we should be expecting from Fury is that he fights an opponent who is better than Seferi, and more than just very slightly better, and I think Pianeta is definitely significantly better than Seferi.
On the other hand,
Pianeta is not tougher than Seferi in every aspect, he does have more losses, he has taken much more punishment. You could argue that Fury was 27, 25-0, coming off a brilliant win, a career defining win, had the WBA, IBF, WBO belts, layoffs aside, should! Fury have ever fought Seferis again?, would Pianeta have been a good enough opponent for Fury's first fight back but not the second? Aside from Seferi, the facts are, Pianeta is coming off a loss, and very soon, only 2 months, and he was knocked out in one round by Chagaev in 2014, he was beaten up by Klitschko, stopped in 6, in 2012, ans more recently, two fights before his recent defeat, he lost to Kevin Johnson, he was stopped in 7, Pianeta is not the most durable, he doesn't have a good chin, and with his 4 losses, 3 stoppage losses, he will not be any more durable against Fury.
Pianeta has another 4 weeks, let's hope he has been training hard, and will prepare as well as he can for the next 4 weeks, it is a big opportunity, he should be motivated, it will be disappointing if Pianeta doesn't prepare so well, if he doesn't try his best, but I think he will be as well prepared as he can, and will give it everything in the ring.
Fury should be lighter in this fight than in his last fight, it is only 2 months, and he jas lost a phenomenal amount of weight already, and the pounds get more stubborn, but he still shouldn't be 276 in this fight, I think he should be below 275. I think Fury will be better in this fight than against Seferi, and he should be, and really, if he impresses, is better than against Seferi, then that is all we can expect of him given that this is only his second fight back after a long layoff and a bad layoff. Fury's rhythm should be slightly more on track in this fight than last time, his timing should be better.
I think Pianeta will be active, early, make Fury have to move a bit, but Fury will use his feet, use his range control, land almost all the clean punches. If a real heavyweight hits him clean, let's see how he takes it, if he gets hurt, let's see how he can use survival skills, recover. I think Fury will be in complete control by round 3, I think the first 2 rounds will be aggressive from Pianeta, he will test Fury's instinctive defence, but I think he will be countered, rarely find the target, I think he might catch Fury once or twice in the first two rounds, but won't be able to build on it, and by round 3, Fury will have settled down, he will find his rhythm, start to pick Pianeta off, box for a round or two, and in round 4 or 5, he will start to beat Pianeta up, I don't think Pianeta is resilient, and when Fury begins to get through with a lot of power shots, he will put Pianeta down, without much of an onslaught, Pianeta won't quit, but after a round of being beaten up, dropped at least once, his corner will pull him out, I think Fury will be tiring after 5 rounds, but not enough that an exhausted and vulnerable Pianeta can exploit his fatigue or anything, and after 5 rounds, Pianeta's corner will make a compassionate but difficult decision to pull him out.
I won't be surprised this goes further than 5 rounds, but Fury shouldn't be taken 10 rounds against a guy who is coming off a recent loss, and has been stopped by Klitschko, Chagaev, and most recently, most importantly, Johnson. I expect Fury to stop Pianeta definitely in 8 rounds, and he should be able to finish him in 6.
Fury should fight once more this year, maybe in December, and he should fight an opponent who is similar to Pianeta, but more durable. Fury needs rounds, he needs to re-adapt to doing the rounds, that means doung 6, 8, 10, building that gas tank back up, he doesn't have time to waste even though he is still young, he needs to be active but have productive fights, and Pianeta is not a bad opponent, but he would be better tested if he would fight an opponent who he hits clean, and really struggles to hurt. I will be impressed if Fury gets Pianeta out inside 4, and I will bd impressed if he makes it a complete mismatch from the start.

Did not expect Fury to crack 260, very impressive for Fury, good for his stamina, output mobility.

Re: Tyson Fury vs Francesco Pianeta
I saw that, and heard his words he spoke. I hope his troubles humbled him, and he is truly trying to set a better example for fighters, fans, and his family. He is one entertaining guy, doesn't need to be an ass to pull it off, so I hope this is the Fury we see going forward.

Re: Tyson Fury vs Francesco Pianeta
Is Fury a good or bad person? He has a wife, kids, probably has a good heart, but he has a big mouth, he's a bully, and most people don't like him, understandably, whether he is good or bad is subjective. One thing I'm 80-90% sure will never be, is a good example, it is good that he admits he is a terrible role model, but I think Fury is Fury, I personally, don't think he is entertaining, I don't watch his press conferences, I never want to hear his voice or read what he says ever again, but most people disagree. In the future, you will see bits of that Fury, Fury has been a nice guy, a bully, nice guy, bully, for years, nothing new.
But more importantly, Fury vs Pianeta, I don't know what you think, but I think Pianeta is only a slight step up from Seferi, he is much bigger, he's younger, and he's better, he has been at a higher level, but he is not durable.
How are you seeing Fury vs Pianeta? We have BT Sport, and Cheapskate Fish Eyes Warren charges us £56 to see a mismatch live when we could see it on YouTube an hour later, I'm not paying that!, and Fish Eyes had the gall to say Whyte vs Parker wasn't PPV, when that was £20, and he charges well over twice that for Fury vs Seferi, I hate Fish Eyes.

Re: Tyson Fury vs Francesco Pianeta
I think of him sort of in the same vein as Dave Allen, though I feel for Dave more, but in terms of hoping he is able to beat his demons, and come out of the other side for himself and his family, I hope he is successful. I know he shows bouts of this, and then regresses, but I hope that was the result of his mental and drug issues, and not completely indicative of him as a whole. I could be wrong for sure, but I hope that is the case, as I like to look for the best in folks when I can. What I mean by good example is what he said about taking some of the negativity out of himself, and the sport itself. Do I take what he says with a grain of salt? Of course, but I do hope that is what he shoots for as a man, and a fighter, because we have too much bad mojo in the world already, any force to attempt to change that is welcome, to me. But the second he goes from that, he won't have my support like he does now. Do I still hope The Bronze Bomber knocks him into next week? Absolutely.
I think he is only slightly better than Seferi as well, though I think that it is good that he is a full fledged HW, so that in and of itself puts him above Seferi to me. Though, I know he gets hammered when he steps up, so hopefully the guy can at least challenge for a few rounds. In spite of the shape he's in, I still don't think Fury could be ready for the Wilder fight so quickly, as you need time to work up to that level. If I'm wrong, he is one of the best Heavies ever, because that would be an amazing feat to pull off.
I'll either watch on Facebook or Youtube stream, as it is supposed to be free. If they region block you on Youtube, like they do to me on Sky Sports Boxing(where I can't even watch the classic fights they load on Youtube, and can't get it as part of a cable package), you might create a burner Facebook account with a US address/postal code, just to see if they allow you to stream for free. Otherwise, I usually use one of two free streaming services that generally work pretty well. Yeah, these networks, governing bodies, and promoters need to get their shit together, as they make it tougher on the fans than it needs to be. I get things like ESPN+ and DAZN, as they are fairly cheap, third party platforms that are seeking to break the old cable TV/PPV model. I don't get the continued attempt to rake the fans over the coals for marginal, one-off fights for that type of cost. It is sick, especially to working class fans.

Re: Tyson Fury vs Francesco Pianeta
Wow! I think Fury looked really good!! True, the opponent wasn’t the best but he looked really skarp and could probably have knocked Pianeta out at any time. Solid performance! The Gypsy King is back for real!!

Re: Tyson Fury vs Francesco Pianeta
Good performance from Tyson Fury, he was better than he was last time, definitely, he won 9 or 10 rounds, movement was good, defence was solid, and his variety was good, turning over hooks, sweeping those clean shots around the guard, he did that brilliantly. Fury's weight was a help to him in this fight, he was much lighter than he was against Seferi, and you could see it benefited his stamina, he didn't seem to feel the pace at all until round 5, and in the late rounds, even though he was struggling for pace, he could breathe, sustain his movement, and output. Fury did seem tired in round 9, but picked it back up again in round 10, I'm not sure if he carried Pianeta, but definitely I think, when he steps up, doing the rounds will be harder, because Pianeta couldn't make him work.
Fury is good again, improving, but I don't think he is ready to fight Wilder, and I don't think he will win, and in this fight, although he's better than he's been since 2015, he still isn't as good as he was at that point, and I don't think he's as good as he was against Chisora the second time, but he should be better now he has boxed well, done good 10 rounds as he did in this fight, weight wise, he's doing well, and his reactions, reflexes, still there, he is still very young for a heavyweight, but I still don't think he is the best in the division as he would be if he'd been consistent from beating Klitschko to now, I think he might already be top 5 again, but Wilder is top 2, maybe even the best in the division, andhe can inflict serious damage, so Fury, in my opinion, made a mistake taking the Wilder fight this year.
