Comments Thread For: Usyk: Fury Fighting Chisora Is Laughable, I Know Tyson Is Scared Of Me

[Roberto Vasquez]

Fury says a lot of things. The reality of the fight is that one man got mauled and KO'd in 7.

Cunningham was not a techncian like Usyk, but relied on his athleticism to win fights. His hand speed is definitely superior to Usyk, for example.

He was operating out of a high guard and winging looping shots at Fury who was initially boxing from range.

You should try watching the fight, preferably with someone who understands the sport, instead of repeating anti-Fury talking points you have read elsewhere.

I watched the fight at the time. You slipped up there because you show everyone that you are not truthful by making false claims

I was a Fury fan then until I got bored with him ducking everyone in the top-20. Cunningham did nothing at Heavyweight after that. Fury is scared of Joshua even. Same tactics as David Price - call him a robot and then avoid him in the ring. If he is running from AJ, not sure why you think he will fight Usyk? Fury has 2 title defences. He couldn't even defend when he had his contracted Wlad rematch

Fury has run from 2 Joshua fights now. And he turned another one down in 2019 when he wouldn't accept 60/40 - which was the same offer Joshua recently accepted the other way round. So not sure why you think he will fight Uysk?? You have more confidence than he does. No doubt he will fight Chisora and then retire again to avoid anyone who can actually box.

Fury strikes me as not very disciplined sometimes. In my opinion, he didn’t look that good against Wilder in the third fight. We essentially saw Wilder give his all and Fury try to walk through Wilder with predictable results. He won, but it struck me as a very lazy strategy and frankly, a very dangerous one (in regards to things like CTE).

I have my doubts Fury can beat Usyk using that same lazy style. Usyk is smaller and will always be susceptible to a big punch (which is why I’m not sure he beats Wilder), but I doubt the slow Fury would be able to use the same high guard walk down / leaning and clinching with the same success against Usyk that he used to beat Wilder in the third fight. He’s going to have to come out flinching and feinting, clinching, and setting his feet and throwing hard punches and using all that to concerted effect like he did in the second Wilder fight (which in my opinion is when we saw peak Fury).
