Fury could be in for a tough night

Fury is back in Manchester

Tyson Fury (16-0, 11 KO's) returns home to Manchester for a big grudge clash against Canada based Bosnian Nevan Pajkic (16-0, 5 KO's) for the Commonwealth heavyweight clash.

I am a fan of Fury, he's a really good Boxer in my opinion, but still has plenty of work left. He's had a couple of great learning fights recently with Dereck Chisora (UD12) and Nicolai Firtha (TKO5), with Firtha really hurting him in his last fight. What I worry about Fury is that if he cant get guys out there early, he does struggle a bit afterwards, so if Pajkic can get out of the early rounds unscathed, he could be well in this fight. There's not much chance of Pajkic hurting Fury like Firtha did, but he's an intelligent Boxer, with an unbeaten record.

Pajkic is also unbeaten

Pajkic's last six fights have gone the distance, and like Fury he was given problems by Firtha in April 2009, edging a close UD over eight rounds. He's a good few inches shorter than Fury, but what's evident about him before this fight is that he's got himself down to the lowest weight in his pro career, which shows he's trained hard for this one. This guy isnt an explosive puncher, but I think his ringcraft will help him.

I fully expect Fury, ranked #9 in the world, to be too classy for Pajkic, but he has a new trainer for this fight, showing he's still a work in progress, and I believe it could very well go the full 12 rounds.
