Yesterday in New York City\u2019s famed Madison Square Garden, Goliath beat David.<\/p>\n

6 foot 9 inch heavyweight giant, Tyson Fury, 21-0, 15 KO\u2019s, came off of the floor from a stunning 2nd round knockdown by a looping right hand from Steve Cunningham, 25-6, 12 KO\u2019s, to catch Cunningham in the 7th with a sharp right hook following a left elbow push.<\/p>\n

For a moment in round 2, it looked like Cunningham might have cut Fury down to size, but Fury, showing a bit of grit, rose off of the canvas and resorted to using his size and \u201cgetting physical\u201d with the smaller 6\u2019 3\u201d Cunningham. Leaning his 258 pound frame on Cunningham\u2019s body, Tyson slowly wore his opponent down and began to connect with clean power shots as the fight went into the middle rounds.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Cunningham, was still very much in the fight when he got caught with that deceptive right hook. It didn\u2019t look like a knockout punch but it obviously carried some power because Cunningham couldn\u2019t even try to get up and was laying prone for moments while Tyson Fury, still undefeated, stomped around the ring, mugging and posing for the fired up crowd. Fury came in to the fight promising that he would dominate resulting in a short night. The fight showed that Fury has a long way to go before he can present a legitimate challenge to either of the Klitschko brothers or David Haye.<\/p>\n

Fury is young but extremely savvy in playing the media and the crowd. In a post-fight interview Fury paid his respects to the fallen Cunningham and then took the microphone to sing an accapella rendition of \u201cKeep it between the Lines\u201d by Ricky Van Shelton. A first, I\u2019m sure for the Garden fight crowd, and Tyson, don’t quit your day job.<\/p>\n

In the post-fight press conference, Cunningham claimed that Fury\u2019s game featured fouls and hinted that he might file a complaint with the Commission. Fury, looking relaxed, in his B Boy stance and baseball hat, simply stated that fighting was a rough sport and he brought out the \u201cdog\u201d in his game to take it to Cunningham.<\/p>\n

Next, Tyson he must face Kubrat Pulev in another title eliminator, if he gets past Pulev, look for a possible Klitschko fight in 2014!<\/p>\n
