Much respect for Cunningham. Fury tried to bully him but Cunningham wouldn't have any of it. The little guy finally ran out of gas.🤜😵
And he got knocked down/out.
Fury was gassing out. Cunningham was winning the fight until Fury got dirty by leaning his body weight on Cunningham which tired Cunningham out. Then Fury basically held Cunningham’s head and hit him and that’s how he got the knockout. Fury is the Dirty Boxing King. Was the dirtiest knockout I’ve seen in boxing.
@@dude3277 You sound like an excuse maker.
@@dude3277 F yeah ! I was looking for a comment like this. he more or less pushed his head back with his left forearm then knocked him out with his right. He had Cunningham in more headlocks than you see in any wrestling match I've ever seen. i don't know why he wasn't deducted points for that, he did it enough times.
It was far from a good fight, clumsy if anything.
Everybody want to talk about how dirty Tyson Fury was in that fight. Well I guess none of y'all saw Cunningham head-butting and and hangin on to Fury, trying to dance with him, locking his arm up so he couldn't swing, punchin after the bell. I guess when your the "champ" that dirt gets overlooked. Whatsamatta? You? Your boy just didnt have what it takes to have his own game run on HIM! And he took a trip to the mat. Do I really have to remind you who got up, and who could not get up?
Edit: Didn't think so
Cunningham looks around 4’9” in the thumbnail - nice photoshop 😊
Not Kevin Hart?
@@geraldfriend256a 6'3 Kevin Hart
Nnooooooooo you don't say! 😅
What about the ref with his creepy white mic hand popping out of the side of his ribs? 🤣🤣
Hahaha 😹
Kudos to Cunningham he was as game as they come.
Crazy that someone so much smaller than Tyson made him suffer so much. Credit to Tyson for coming back and winning though. He'll definitely be remembered as one of the good fighters. Not a great, but definitely a beast of the sport.
8:12 is all that matters.. chess not checkers... styles make fights
he lost just like he lost to wilder 1 and now naganu, he is a black hes not great just a cheat like other caucasians
Fury not the greatest but one of the greatest!
191cm and 95 kg isn't small many great boxers like Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson, Joe Fraizer and Larry Holmes had simillar measurements during their primes.
Mike was only 178cm, but +100kg.
@@stuntslikeeveryday178? Waaaaaaat.. didn't know that
@@C-sco Yeah, Mike was a quite short HW.
@@stuntslikeeveryday he was 5'9" I think not 5'10"
Mike defintely isnt 191 mate
This fight helps to explain why there are weight classes. 40 pounds will always matter the longer a fight continues.
If Steve Cunningham fought all his opponents like he did Tyson Fury, he would be undefeated. He fought with pure heart.
He really did. Honestly if Cunningham was 25lbs heavier he would've beat Fury.
It wasn’t just heart, he had plenty of talent as well.
this fight is a really bad example to explain why there are weight classes. if cunningham was more agile and didn' gas out, he could have won it. it was not that clear, that fury would win.
and it was not furys size and weight that saved him after he was beaten down. it was his amazing ability to recover from heavy shots.
'
@@KarlHeinzSpock totally agree with you,.
Heaps of respect to Cunningham, you can really tell that he fought his hardest and in the end gassed out and slowed down allowing tyson to end the fight.
Funny that, I've never heard Cunningham change his view about that dreadful ko, nor have i heard him say that Fury is "a great fighter".
Frankly Cunningham made Fury look an amateur in that fight
Cunningham talked about how he was from the hood and from the ghetto and he would never be hurt by a soft man like fury. He ended up unconscious lol
@@Infern0121 Fury is a giant that cheats to beat smaller guy. Yeah, what a hero. 🙄
@@glynhannaford7332 that hood G got the black knocked off him by a fat bald whitey haha
@@Infern0121 cope harder
@@NoRockinMansLand he was a get to thug y'all, he grew up in da hood
steve did well concidering the size difference.hes a legal cruiser weight and he was 37 in this fight fury was 25
His intense skill to hug opponents and lean on them is indispensable for his success.
It's normal
@@frankysbt6244 did I say it isn't? What I say is that he is exceptionally good at it. He would have some losses under his belt if he wasn't.
You must be a casual. You should watch boxing more often. 😉👍
h.a.t.e.r go outside
@@NotWatchingTV You can't just baptise anyone whom you dont like his comments as a hater. Even more you can't order him to leave. Self-righteous little prick!
Fury was able to adjust to those overhand after a while. Plus Cunningham got tired quicker hitting that big ass dude 😆😆😆
seeing this, Im 100% confident a prime mike tyson as what 5'9 5'10 would of floored the 6'9 giant in the first to 2nd round
Cunningham gave Fury a better fight than Wilder ever did imo.
Tyson fury had stuff in his gloves
@@AS-qj5ehno he didn’t sore loser
Fury uses his size, like any giant should.
Cunningham was magnificent in there, what a performance against a much larger man!!
Yeah but tyson is dirty with the elbow, he does that in every fight, and referees allow that !
Fury didn't use his forearm to "create separation", he used his forearm to obscure the incoming right, he effectively blocked Cunningham's eyes before throwing the knockout punch.
is that legal?
@@mattd6200
Doing it with the Glove before throwing a punch with the other hand is not permissible, doing it with the forearm is "dirty Boxing", however if it is done with obvious intention it will get a warning, so doing it does carry some penalty as far as it being "illegal".
Should have been DQ'd.
The foonge was out on his feet @ that point. Fury could've went to his corner for a gatoraid then come back to put him down!
@@petesmith5092 Fury had to fight dirty to beat a smaller man who was outboxing him. There's no way of dressing that up to look good.
What a brutal shove at 3:44 ... Never seen a shove this brutal
10/10 awesome video
bro the background music is sooooooo good, gj for the vid brother
Respect Cunningham... Tyson was a MASTER, did you see that movement? And split-second head movement. Wow, I'm in Awe!
Fury never had ‘devastating power’.
Still hasn’t. The two fights he won against wilder, he stopped a completely physically worn out fighter. Wilder has nothing left after a hard few rounds if he doesn’t get you out of there, and they knew that. Far easier to ko a guy who can barely stand up any more than a fresh fighter.
Yep, Fury was the better man.
Fury has better stamina than any heavyweight he trained to fight 30 rounds
@@kjp1232 That sentence makes no sense.
@@jonhohensee3258 your life makes no sense🤣🤣🤣
@@kjp1232 shucks
I remember watching this fight with my buddies. We all saw Fury was hurt and knew he was going to get KO’d so he literally grabbed onto and held the back of Cunningham head. It pissed me off, because I wanted to see Fury get KO’d, but I did respect it because he did what he had to do.
Cry more
talk in a little ;p
@@NotWatchingTV this fight was years before Francis. Definitely not D riding anyone bro, get off riding any D idea!
I actually want Fury to win this fight by KO. Just to show a boxer is far more superior when it comes to the sweet science. But this fight right here is a fight I wanted to see Fury get KO’d.
@@Its_Steeeve I know it was people just keep reposting this fight this week comparing it to him fighting Francis, my b. Agreed
@@NotWatchingTV all good brotha.
Great video gents, once again
Can't believe Fury is unbeaten my opinion he lost 2 the first match against Wilder and second recently against Francis respect to the small guy dropping the heavy weight first big heart.
Its just amazing when you big and can just rest on someone to recover all the time. Rules shout be changed, no hugging.
i def agree. its kind of cheating, and hurts the viewing value too.
Cunningham did well for a much smaller fighter.
5:34 Christ almighty I forgot how big that shot actually was by Cunningham
its my favourite Tyson performance!
That knockout was brutal
Obviously knowing what we know the Gypsy King, Cunningham fought a hell of a fight at his size. Legit
Incredible fight, Cunningham nearly had him. It just take one punch. Cunningham is 6ft 3in. He is still a tall broad guy though. Mike Tyson was an average 5ft 10in.
"Nearly" counts for nothing.
@@jonhohensee3258 Nearly counts for guts. He was a Cruiser weight World Champion and I admire him stepping up to heavyweight to give it a go. Not winning the fight does count for nothing but he was still one of the best boxers on the planet.
@@Spohcsom zzzzzzz
@@jonhohensee3258this is why Jake Paul is the p4p king of boxing and you’re not you old fart.
Yeh but Mike Tyson was (is) far broader with a much heavier frame, frequented 240
TheThumbnailPic Looks Like Fury Vs. KevinHart!😜
Cunningham definitely could have gotten up if he wanted to. The champion spirit is. a. thing.
Cunningham is a beast much respect
Small opponent, Cunningham is 6ft3" 😂
Steve Cunningham: 6 footer
Comments: Little Guy 🤓
Thats why u never get emotional when your fighting in the ring u switch off bang fury knew he made a mistake there fair play to him u learn from it and god did he
If I remember correctly, Fury said himself that this was his toughest ever opponent
Lol not anymore
Solid video. Pertinent too. I always hear that Fury has trouble with smaller opponents, and that's something that I hope we all get to pay attention to, in a fight against Usyk.
Usyk need his speed, stamina and reflexes.. Fury knows that, thats because he fights a NON Boxer.. When Usyk looks washed up in future.. then this Big Puss will fight him.
Fury will never fight Usyk- he's terrified of him.
Fury destroyed Whyte. I think Fury is a different animal now. No one beats a Healthy Fury.
@@jamaalandlatoria is that why francis, for his first ever boxing match, absolutely embarrassed fury? cope
@@iyendeezont A healthy Fury who train would beat Francis easily. Fury didn't take him seriously.
I remember watching this… if steve had more powerful management this would’ve been overturned to a no contest with all the foul tactics he used. This is a good indication of why he is avoiding the fight with Usyk
Lmao he beat Wilder up exactly the same way and Wilder had Al "da moss pawful mayne in bossin" managing him
@@Infern0121 nah.. his knockouts against wilder were clean. This was not
@@NabilAbdulrashidComedy lmaooooooo
@@Infern0121 he can't even beat Ngannoy, Fury resume is horrible AJ has a better resume
Crazy Fury cardio..

What’s with the thumbnail 😂
It made me click, good photoshop at a glance. Can see the blonde woman doubled in the crowd with the blue light
Its called clickbait. And we all got reeled in
here after Francis vs Tyson
Crazy how Fury's 2 hardest fights were against a cruiserweight and a debuting boxer
@@thomasmacdonough288 wild what a world this is
Oof, what a punch for that knockdown!
Tyson Fury Rocks.
That's dirty boxing on Fury's part. Blocked his eyes with his forearm and went for the knockout punch.
Cunningham, Had a good point abu Fury’s elbow used. However the referee didn’t see it or decided not to call it.
Fury as always 🥊
Fury owes Steve Cunningham, I think Fury learned a lot that night.
Uppercuts seem like one of the most underused punches in boxing. They can be devastating.
Ike Ibeabuchi's uppercut vs Byrd haunts my dreams
@@stephentrueman4843so many beautiful uppercuts have you seen Damiani vs Mercer
Not boxing, but Francis Ngannou's KO against Ubereem is absolutely beautiful.
Lol that 2nd round their was no pushing at the end of it 😂
there
I think if Tyson Fury was defeatable it was at this stage. He is not that great and in some fights he was just lucky.
But something changed in him. I think the awful awful depression followed by Klitchko fight actually made him more dangerous.
He realized he is just a mortal man.
And suddenly he became hardened.
He chose that path. Like some sort of karate man who suddenly became a master at age 40, fury became this weird omen.
and he goes by pure intuition it feels. I think Fury will feel genuinely exactly the moment when he cannot win. that is why he is saying that it doesnt matter what he wins. Because he knows for sure. Deontay 1st fight was exactly that. Fury said "Men like you can't defeat men like me" And he rose from the dead to prove it.
I am more than sure Fury will goof around boxing a bit and then just go wrestling or some other entertainment sport. He knows he had the highest highs in boxing 2 times. He will know if he needs to defeat Usyk or someone else. But he will also not throw away his prnciples and feelings just for a desperate shot at some more belts. I think much like George Foreman, Tyson Fury will slowly grow into something else.
He definitely has the bravery to be whatever, and he has more talents than just boxing. I think with some training this man could be like a motivational speaker or a talk show host or a pro wrestler.
DRUM&BASS FOR LIFE
smallest yet tyson himself said this was his hardest fight ever, big ups to both of them
If Francis lands his right hand Tyson is going out!
IF IF IF.... You can play the dream game all day for either side. Means nothing.
@@jonhohensee3258ong like deontay don't it harder
@@izayoikishazuka7122 I only speak English.
All that just to lose to ngannou but of course boxing has to rig crossover fights in the favour of boxers 💀
really cool
Fury has trouble with these "middleweights"!
Cunningham hasn't got more respectful. He was one of the main instigators of all that glove bullshit after the 2nd Wilder fight.
Dat I'llel fella put dat high tower down sayyyyyys it all
The bait with the miniature worked for me, I expected a 5' opponent.
That thumbnail 😅👌
Now hes going to meet his biggest opponent
3:41 BRRRRUTAL SHOVE.
Beautiful song in the background Can someone tell me the name of this song ? In the fight part
I thought it was beetlejuice 😂
"A young Tyson Fury" Still looking 40 though even at 24
The "little guy" Steve Cunningham is 6'2"
This is why you shouldn't mess around, get in there and get it done
Mr cuningham my new favourite person .that shut him up didn't it .
Tyson fury younger is so weird to me, it’s like he’s always suppose to look how he does now, like he was born like that.
Honestly I'm starting to think that Fury is scared to fight Usky bc hes similar size to Cunningham but way better.
Facts
Ye but Fury is not the same fighter he was in 2013. He is much better now defensively
Cunningham and Usyk are different fighters. Smaller? So what. Usyk doesn't have the same power as Cunningham
It just a beginning journey for FN so be patience and earn your dream. No matter how the world look at you. Nothing is impossible if you have a heart of a Lion 🦁.
I guarantee that Cunningham watches the first part of this fight a lot.
Just to play devil's advocate for a minute,,, its pretty easy to say someone's toughest opponent was a smaller guy, when they're so big, that literally EVERY opponent is a smaller guy!
It's understandable why Frank Warren won't have Fury fighting Usyk. Fury struggles with substantially shorter opponents.
fury said this was one of the toughest fights he had
Arrr the good old days when Fury used to fight boxers
Wilder isn't a boxer?
@@jonhohensee3258 puncher not boxer

@@jonhohensee3258 Started boxing very late and didn't learn the fundamentals. He rely only on power
@@kevinlogan6171 DON'T LIE TO ME!
Compare this fight to AJs first fight in USA and you realise Fury did good
If Cunningham was a natural heavyweight I think he’d take him.
The thumbnail is 🤣 and could be used for any of Fury’s opponents from this day on, as he continues to protect his ‘0’. 😂
That shove was discourtious in a gentlemans ring.
Well a traveller is never gonna be a gentleman, wrestled as much as he threw punches
Fury soo smart
Lol at the clickbait. He looks like a Flyweight in the thumbnail.
What's up with the Shadow of War/Mordor music?
You gotta Love The Gypsy King! Fury is a Warrior! 🔥
As much as he is a numpty, he did show Klitchsco in the end and beat him. Can’t take that away from him.
8:11...Fury presses his forearm against Cunningham's eyes and holds it there, effectively obstructing Cunningham's vision before he throws the punch that knocked Cunningham down.
It is not permitted to hold a glove against the opponents eyes in an attempt to obscure the following incoming punch, so why the f-ck was Fury using his forearm allowed ???
nicolasrose3064.. Yeah, I thought that was pretty piss weak.
@@steiny3353
Fury didn't like Cunningham putting him on show by out-Boxing him earlier in the bout and emphasizing it with that knockdown, Fury has the mental acuity of a Thirteen year old trying to find the person who stole the jam out of his Doughnuts.
It's a good question, because he does it all the time.
All great fighters have dirty moves they use. Lennox loved to lean his big body on opponents, Wlad did the same. If the ref says nothing, it's legal. Watch Lewis'knockout of Grant. Clearly illegal , grabbing behind Michael's head with the left and pushing it into his right uppercut for the devastating knockout.
@@brocklanders3616
Not "all" great fighters have "dirty moves", and your analogy that it's only illegal if the referee see's it is seriously flawed, what you are saying is that the dirty fighters that get away with their dirty moves, are in your opinion "great", because they could obscure the referee's observation of their "dirty moves" and get away with it. In other words, the definition of "greatness" in your opinion, is a dirty fighter.
FURY 😎
I love how boxers use excuses when they loose to fury . It’s called being smart and using your height and weight to your advantage. Wilder was the same full of s*** instead of just accepting fury kicks ass.
Click bait, before clicking it looks like he is half the height comes up to his trucks but in video he is about 8 inches shorter click bait. I think RUclips needs to do something about clickbait misleading .
Back when fury was in decent shape
hahaha i came here to do demolition jobs on cruiser weights :D
Thing is you can knock TF down but he gets right back up.. like WTF O_O
I like Fury alot but he's lucky he wasn;t fighting in the 90's
Could anyone tell me the name of the original song of the music/instrumental/beat that starts @9:05 in the video please
Cunningham looks like a body builder. Weight training shouldn't be overdone in boxing or MMA.
There has been and still is very built guys who have done VERY well in boxing and MMA. some of the best boxers ever were very built, it’s a skill thing
@@DejiiJones_ Thanks for replying Dejii. I realise that there are some fighters who that doesn't apply to like Alastair Overeem for example, some who seem to defy what I said, but I've seen many body builder types gas out very quickly due to muscle size as they demand more oxygen and get full of lactic acid more quickly. The commentators, often ex fighters themselves, actually mention that what's happening with the over-muscular at the time when they fatigue quickly. They often try to finish fights quickly so go mental in the early rounds to avoid losing later because they gassed out. I think a factor could be whether or not you are naturally big and muscular, i.e. the mesomorph body type, because then you'd more likely have natural cardiovascular system to support that larger muscle mass, whereas a naturally scrawny person, a hard gainer, i.e. the ectomorph body type, might not have because he's not naturally muscular. In short, I don't think either of us are wrong because there's a case for both fighters who can support a large muscle mass effectively and those who can't, but you wouldn't want to be hit by one before they gassed 😉
Lol you tripping….dude body shape is perfect not too big not too small…did you not see what foreman, Holyfield, Tyson, looked like in there prime yrs….beast

Song name ? Of the fight part
Tyson fury sounds like how Tommy fury does
Tyson Fury grabbing this poor guys neck and then pushing his head with his hand before he punches him, he maks sure he wins whether its through underhanded tatics or not.
