Good to see two undefeated fighters going at it.
Fury vs. Nascimento: Tyson says this is his most dangerous puncher hefs faced
February 16th, 2011
By Sean McDaniel: Unbeaten heavyweight Tyson Fury (13-0, 9 KOfs) is very concerned about his unbeaten Brazilian opponent Marcelo Luiz Nascimento (13-0, 11 KOfs), who Fury will be facing this Saturday night in a scheduled 10 round bout at the Wembley Arena, Wembley, London. Not much is known about the 6f5 Nascimento other than the fact he seems like he can really punch, at least with his left hand.
He seems to be a much better puncher than Fury, but not as skilled, which isnft really isnft saying a lot. It is troubling that this guy is being pooled from as far away as Brazil because it sends alarm bells that they had to search long and hard to find someone with an inflated record for Fury to look against. Itfs not a good sign that no one has really heard much of Nascimento before this fight, as hefs not someone thatfs usually talked about when boxing writers and fans talk about prospects. Thatfs not stopping the 22-year-old Fury from pumping up Nascimento and making it seem as if hefs better than he is.
In a press release sent out today, Fury said this about Nascimento: gThis is without a doubt the most dangerous and hardest puncher Ifve ever been in the ring with.h
Letfs be real here. Fury hasnft faced anyone with any kind of power yet in his 13 fights, so itfs not a big deal that Nascimento can puncher harder than guys like John McDermott. Itfs because Fury still hasnft faced anyone with a pulse yet. Nascimento isnft a huge puncher compared to better heavyweights. He can punch a little with his left hand, but hefs not David Tua, Wladimir Klitschko or David Haye. It looks like Fury is trying to build this guy up so he can look good afterwards for beating him.
