The real reason Fury pushed Whyte over

[removed]

In the third Wilder fight, Fury dropped him in the third round and Deontay fell straight on Fury's ankle and nearly snapped it.

Fury with his insane ring IQ wasn't going to let it happen again.

And this is what we call damage control

Push or no push, Whyte was levels out of his league.
The push not happening would only make matters worse.

Let's imagine it not happening. Whyte would get up and do what ? Get sent right back down.

Trying to explain away this one bit of dirty fighting makes no sense

It is just rough house tactics 'Both fighters where using them'. One of the best moves Fury has ever pulled off, was holding Steve USS Cunningham's in place, then knocking him to the ground with a punch etc.

Rough house tactics are how fighters push the boundaries. They can get you out of trouble, they can get you in trouble or they can disrupt the fight.

I think Rough house tactics peaked in the 80's & 90's, then after this? Heavyweight fighters seemed to become docile.

Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield all these guys knew how to use rough house tactics.

Both Fury and Whyte where using rough house tactics in this fight. The punch is what ultimately caused the damage.

The push was a bullish tactic, to amplify the damage. It happens, when two rough fighters face off etc.

Note: Tyson Fury's push was outside the rules, but these things can happen when two rough fighters collide.

Yeah, I would've preferred Fury to give him a left hook and leave him lobotomised.

That Cunningham KO was brutal lol.

The push doesn't look good visually. Fury has dirty tendencies (rough housing for Brits) and doesn't know when to keep himself in check.
A member correctly compared it to when Lenny pushed down on Mike.
Neither pushes were necessary.

Fury didn't want a big lummox like Whyte landing on him, the push was justified.

Mike

A guy who

Bites ears
Headbutts
Tries to break opponents arms
Low blows intentionally

Yet he's idolozed as an American great along with Holyfield who used to headbutt so much they should have made him wear a glove on his head.
