Hey Andy
Fury is fighting Vinny Maddalone tonight, who used to be a really tough brawler but he's pushing 40 and has a ton of mileage on his body now. He's KO'd a couple of nobodies in his last 2 fights but the last time he fought anyone of note was Tomasz Adamek back in 2010 when Adamek was first trying to move up to heavyweight. Adamek hasn't shown a lot of power as a heavyweight and he was able to KO Maddalone in 5 rounds so that should give you an idea how far Maddalone's chin has deteriorated.
I've actually been following Fury's training camp a bit on a few boxing forums and supposedly he has cleaned up his diet, has been training like a madman and is in the best shape of his life. Maddalone is going to come right at him throwing bombs so it will probably be a short fight, and Fury will most likely KO him in 6 rounds or less, which is a shame because I'm curious how much Fury's stamina has improved.
What I don't understand is why this is only Fury's second fight of 2012. His trainers are saying they want him fighting one of the Kiltschko brothers by next year, and if that is the case Fury needs to be fighting at least 6 times a year. I know he had a really long training camp for this fight and they are really focusing on his conditioning, but this is still only his 19th fight and he only had like 35 amateur fights so the guy needs more work. I really think he is going to be a problem for either Klitschko but the last thing I want to see is him getting thrown in there before he is ready...
