Great skillful boxer but wincing and doubling over every time fury dug one to the body.
I thought it was somewhat of a myth but nah he is legitimately soft there.
He's been lucky he's not faced any good body punchers because he'd get folded pretty quick.
Mike Tyson decimates him
Gassiev is a nasty body puncher as is Briedis
AJ another huge puncher targeted the body at every opportunity.
Dubois also.
Fury
Why do fans keep running with these false narratives? Usyk is small, Usyk can be bullied cause Chisora had minor success doing so, Usyk is weak to the body.
It just goes on and on and he has still not been dropped, close to being stopped or losing and cleared out the toughest CW division in history in its entirety and cleaned out this generation of ''super heavyweights''.
Can he be hurt to the body or head? Sure, who can't?
The thing is though it seems like every opponent "makes a lot of mistakes" when fighting Usyk
Perhaps he's doing subtle things in there to keep the fight under control even during rough patches.
AJ twice and now Fury have not charged this guy down and put it on him so there must be a reason for that.
Most of them lost “technically” to usyk though while fury was successfully boxing him but lost focused in my opinion. Joshua didn’t lose because he lost focus or was playing around he just wasn’t good enough.
imo fury played too much, got complacent after controlling 3 middle rounds and paid the price for it. You can’t do that to someone like Usyk.
so boxing skillwise fury just as good as usyk, just differnt styles.. but the engine and focus? And the hunger? That’s on Usyk. Tyson has plenty to blame on himself.
As a fury fan, he just did a lot of wrong things in there. He had the momentum and control in the middle rounds then lost focused on the prize. Showboated, lowering his guard, kept playing and not imposing anything then got caught by something big from usyk because he keeps on coming and making things happen and continued to focus. Fury should’ve started imposing his will after round 6 and attacked the body relentlessly.

Mad to see Fury hurt Usyk to the body and never follow it up. Should have done a Ricky Hatton and thrown body shots in 4s and 5s. Usyk cannot help giving a visible reaction, either grimacing, weirdly moving his body or instinctively calling foul lol. Fury took the wind out of his sails several times. Got to give Usyk his props for shaking it all off and coming on strong down the stretch though!

lol, you guys with this, he's weak to the body because of a low blow landed by Dubois was all your hopes and prayers. I said it before and I'll say it again, he took monster body shots from AJ and he never went down. No way was he going down from Fury shots.
