It’s the same s***.“Tyson Fury gets away with a lot, man. He is smart.“I think it is terrible, Makhmudov is too slow, he is going to get battered.“I think Fury can come back when he is 60 and still beat Makhmudov.”Eddie Hearn – Promoter “[Makhmudov is] not a big threat, unless Tyson Fury is shot,” said Hearn.“I think he will win every round, I think he will win the fight on points.”Dave Allen – Former Arslanbek Makhmudov opponent GettyAllen lost via unanimous decision to Makhmudov last October[/caption]“I am going to go for a Fury win rounds seven to ten, but he has to be careful because Makhmudov can hit,” said on his YouTube channel.“Tyson Fury [should] make him miss, move and frustrate him for seven or eight rounds, then stops him.“Makhmudov is a very good boxer, good jab.“If Tyson Fury is anywhere near where he was at his best, then he is better than very good.“But if Makhmudov hits him, then Makhmudov will flatten him. I was scared of boxing Makhmudov.”Lawrence Okolie – Former WBO cruiserweight champion“I expect him [Fury] to win quite comfortably, yeah,” Okolie told Seconds Out.David Haye – Former two-weight world champion “Tyson Fury on an average day should be able to play with Makhmudov, he shouldn’t have a hard night,” Haye told talkSPORT.“He should be able to chop him down, he is not going to get his fella out of here with one shot.”Tony Bellew – Former WBC cruiserweight championBellew believes Fury will punish Makhmudov’s bodyGetty“Fair play to him, Makhmudov is a solid operator, strong puncher,” Bellew told the Stomping Ground.“He’ll do what he is supposed to on the night. He’ll make Tyson Fury look good; he’ll get punished at range. “I think he’ll get chewed up and spat out after about eight or nine rounds.“Body shots will be the undoing of him. Tyson Fury is a decent body puncher. He’s a decent all-rounder. “He’s underrated in certain aspects of the game; he really is a high-level operator.”Boxing scheduleFor all the upcoming fights and results this year, check out talkSPORT.com’s boxing schedule.
