Was the Tyson Fury KO sequence over Steve Cunningham illegal?

it was illegal.it is something the ref usually warns for but even if the ref was going to he didn't have the time as it all happened so quickly.

when lenox lewis was was pinning frank bruno up the ropes with his left and then firing his right he was warned for it.well what fury did is just as worse.it looked like he was gunna win regardless but it was still some very roughhouse tactics

Not sure but it wasnt intentional it just happened. Either way Cunningham was finished,he was hurt and tired and Fury was all over him,Fury survived his storm but Cunningham couldnt do the same. Cant wait for Furys next fight! I love this guy you never know what is gonna happen in his fights!! This is the kind of excitement boxing needs!

It's only illegal if they call it. This is not the amateurs this is pro boxing protect your self at all times . When you are fighting a guy like Fury who will do what ever it takes to win you better be ready. Just like Andre Ward HE IS A CLEAN FIGHTER UNTIL YOU START FIGHTING DIRTY AND HE WILL GET THERE WITH YOU.

Wasn't illegal but it was dirty, its a common dirty tactic used.

Fight wasnt the cleanest, still a legitimate Knockout by fury

You mean how he kind of had his forearm under the chin, and then threw the right hand?

I'm not sure if it's technically illegal, but a lot of people do that and nobody ever complains, so I'd assume not. I'm fine w/ it tbh.

No, it was pretty fair. I didn't see a blatant elbow. He only used that to get space than land his right hook.
