Usyk already lost the mental battle

[TheIronMike]

I can only imagine some on this forum would say if Usyk did something: "Oh, he lost the mental battle because he reacted to Fury's obvious mental games!"

We'll never know....

Yeah, nice avatar btw. Dorian Gray if I am not mistaken?

Spot on! I always visit him when in Chicago.

Nice. That style of painting really stay with you after you see it once. I am more of El Greco guy (after one of my professors told me I look like characters he painted, which was compliment I guess )

Fury said he was going to slap him? Done nothing.

If you noticed Fury has not ever attacked any other fighter outside the ring. But he has talked a good one.

I don't really think any sort of battles have been won or lost at this stage.

Even if Fury did not slap Usyk, maybe he could of at-least pushed him. That is not too extreme.

He just allowed another grown man to call him a pu$$y to his face and spit on him.

I feel like Usyk won that mental battle if anything tbh. Fury was desperately trying to get him to bite. Usyk looked calm and unbothered.

I agree. Fury is the one who acted weak. He acted like he was threatened. No human who has total belief in their self would start barking and yelping like Fury did. There’s something about Usyk that is really bothering Fury…Could be he’s afraid of being dismantled by a “middleweight”.

Fury feels like he needs an edge IMO. Despite all the talk, he knows Usyk is a tough fight. I do think Fury wins though.

exactly, mofos here really think "strong and silent" works.....IT DOESN'T!

He should have shot him. Anything less is b!tch

I think that is a very good assessment. I would probably lean towards Fury winning too, but I still feel very unsure about the outcome.

Yeah I don’t buy into the idea Fury just steamrolls him. I think it’s a very tactical fight and Fury has to work hard in regards to output in order to get a decision.
