Comments Thread For: Fury: Usyk is Not Big Enough, Strong Enough To Stand Up To The Punches

If Joshua can hurt Usyk so can Fury and Fury has a much higher work rate plus a better punch variety than Joshua might not be a bigger puncher but he can find the target easier and in better combination that's for sure.

When did Joshua hurt Usyk? 9th round of their second fight, when Usyk played possum before dominating the last 3 rounds?

Oh is that what he did?

Yeah. It is. Guys that are "badly hurt and beaten to the body for an entire round" don't come out and dominate the rest of the fight.

I was alway's intrigued by Usyk Aj as i thought Usyk could box the big mummy all night but Fury I wasn't so sure.
Fast twitch Fury ive alway's had winning with the jab in a terrible Klitschkoesque fight, even as a southy, but this kronk Walrus I'm convinced has slowed & regressed enough for Usyk to possibly pick off for a close probably contravercial point's decision & the belts splitting for the rematch. I really hope there's no rematch clause baring injury. Let the champ be a champ & defend against Joyce & Hrgovic to close out 2023.

Undesputed is so easy now Eddie's out of the way & especially since the Prince put Eddie in his place after trying to block undesputed with immediate Hrgovic purse bids. It was so funny watching Ed go from "immediate Hrgovic purse bids" to "the prince wants the undesputed fight" cowering on camera. That's what happens when slave trader junior meets a real mass murdering slave trader xD

Lol ... nice story! But what really happened was that the WBA piped up and ordered Usyk to fight their mandatory challenger, Daniel Dubois, who came before Hrogovic in the order of mandatory defences agreed upon by all the alphabet boys. This trumped the IBF order and - surprise, surprise - Dubois' promoter, Frank Warren, then agreed to postpone young Daniel's mandatory shot until after the undisputed fight between Usyk and Fury.

The commentators and the British spectators in the crowd got very excited when AJ went on the attack in the 9th forcing Usyk onto the back foot. But unfortunately for AJ, none of the punches he threw landed cleanly and Usyk wasn't actually hurt at any time.

In the 10th though, right at the point where AJ seemed on the verge of being overwhelmed by Usyk's aggressive counter attack, he landed a great right hand flush on the point of Usyk's chin and made him back off for a while to regroup. I think that was the only time in their 2 fights that AJ hurt Usyk, and I reckon he might have been stopped in the 10th if he hadn't landed that punch.

I actually just rewatched the final 3 rounds about an hour ago, and you're 100% correct. Usyk was landing at will until Joshua threw that desperation right hand. I don't doubt that a stoppage would have occurred had that not happened.

If Usyk didn't have a great chin it would have been him getting stopped there. He didn't see that punch coming and it hit him right on the button, hard enough to jolt his head back on his shoulders. It was the kind of punch people are talking about when say, "In the HW division, one punch can change everything"

Fury is a very good fighter, a very good big man, can box, can fight dirty/wrestle, he’s quite fast for his size and moves like a small man.

But this fight in particular comes down to size. If they were both 6’3”, 220lbs, Usyk would be favored because he is the better boxer.

I have to disagree on his talents
In my unbiased eyes ( ), he looks goofy trying to look smooth.
He gets away with his clumsiness mainly to his size.
He's dirty as well with all the hitting behind the head, leaning down on a guy and pushing them to the canvas.
I swear to GOD, if he were 6'5'', he'd be no better than 13L.

He might not look good but I think it’s something you find out when you get in the ring with him. You see how quick he is and how much his movement combined with his size and dirty tactics, power and speed, make all the difference.

I think Valuev was extra goofy looking and really slow. The guy lost to 46 year old Holyfield. But Fury is a way different big man.
