Comments Thread For: Usyk Trainer: A Fight With Tyson Fury Would Be a Chess Match

[Earl-Hickey]

My brother picked Usyk to beat AJ. I thought it’d be a slow start for both, and close the whole way. I figured AJ would be able to look like the bigger man and have Usyk moving all day. Winning on points by giving the right impression. Instead Usyk started fast and got offensive. He levees the straight left and looked confident. He moved all night, legs and head. I thought he’d get tired but he was on insane shake. AJ took little chances and had no adaptations.
Fury started slow vs Wilder in their last fight. If he’s up early Usyk can win vs Fury. I don’t expect him to land the left like he did on AJ, but if he can make Fury miss he can look better than him. I think it’s close to even odds. I don’t think Usyk will tire. Fury will have to think about winning each round right away. I have a feeling Fury might not be in best shape for this fight. If he comes in looking like he knows what he’s facing that will be a good sign. Controversial draw lol

I see it the same, Usyk needs fury to give the fight away would be a simpler way of putting it.

Right. I tend to write way too much. I think the first couple rounds are so important if it goes to a decision. You can often win or lose the first couple rounds by throwing three more or three less jabs than your opponent does. You can pummel a guy in a later round. Land over 20 more punches, wobble them even, and it’s still worth just the same one point those extra couple jabs were worth in round one.
If Fury comes out like he stepped to Wilder in their second fight, he will do a lot for himself. If he looks better than AJ right away he will get credit, and Usyk will get less.

If it was a chess match, then Usyk would have a fair chance of victory.

Fury would just have to use his considerable advantages in size and height and reach, jab away, set up the bigger punches, and he'd win.

No fight is a chess match with Kronk Fury.

Fury wins by UD. Usyk only beat Joshua because of the vast difference in experience and skill, but he didn’t show us anything Ruiz didn’t. Ruiz showed us Joshua has a lack of ability in close quarters , survival, and heart.

There will be no more dancing and riddling from Tyson Fury.

This is a foremast stipulation of action, his opponents, his fans and people in the boxing community need to understand.

Kronk Fury is not suddenly going to drop 20 pounds and try and bring back his old style. In order for Fury to do that, he needs to ether change lifestyle, training philosophy or coach 'And return back with Peter Fury'.

I don't really think any of this is going to happen, there is a reason why he changed his style 'Go and watch Fury being interview by Gareth A Davies, days before his Wilder rematch' Fury states in that interview that he has changed his training philosophy.

All fights from this point on wards with Tyson Fury, will be a complete mess at elite level. He will be found by his opponents inside the ring, he may be knocked down, busted up real good. But I still believe, that he most likely finds a way to win against 95 - 98 % of these fighters 'And Usyk is one of those fighters'.

Not really it can't be a chess match, Fury loses by default he was losing the "chess match" against Cunningham and had to resort to bullying and mauling.

He'll have to do the same against Usyk but his leg may be to good for him and the pace he may force Fury to work at could result in Fury gassing I know that sounds far fetched but Fury has an extremely low output and almost always controls engagements, so it'll certainly be an intriguing watch IF IT EVER HAPPENS.

Great analysis, you’re on fire

[P to the J]

It will certainly be a fight towards the more cerebral end of the spectrum. But as I’ve said before, Usyk’s footwork and stamina sees him roaming in and out of range all night touching Fury to the body nonstop.
It’s gonna be pretty ******

I truly believe at this time Luis Ortiz beats either of these guys right now, if given the opportunity.

Tyson would do a job on Usyk , it really would be a case of a good big un beats a good little un....Joshua of course is a big un , just not with the skills and IQ of this pair.
