Comments Thread For: Usyk on Injuries Ahead of Fury Showdown: I Can't Say That Everything Is OK...[But] Everything's Under Control

Wow his balls still hurt?

Harry Greb needed 12 hours to get in shape for a fight; these guys need 12 WEEKS. WTF is he doing over a 12 week period that he needs to work on that he hasn't worked on over the past 15 - 20 years? No wonder they get hurt in training.

You're acting like Usyk is the only fighter fighting once or twice a year smh. You're comment was dumb because every fighter nowadays is fighting once or twice a year is having about 10 weeks worth of camp. Even the most active top fighters are fighting 3 times a year only.

Bumsyck already lining up excuses.

Was he undefeated?

Usyk a damn tough, highly skilled dude. The problem is, he moved to HW when he was middle aged, he doesn't have tremendous power at HW (Dubois quit), his body isn't 25 anymore, and he is facing a 6'9 270 pound dude who knocked Wilder around like a rag doll and who can box really, really well.

Oleksander Bumsyck is lining up excuses. He says he needs 3 months to train blah blah. They cried cause fury didn’t cave to his BS and Tyson got him a bigger pay check. Bumsyck will crumble will the gypsy king shows his the infinity stones

Usyk said something similar last time serious discussions were around.

I don’t trust he wants this fight all the way.

Or - he's setting up the rematch for another big payday.

I've never thought of Usyk as a true heavyweight. I think if him as a talented cruiserweight with some added pounds. Certainly not the size of today's heavyweights. And his reputation is built on beating powder puff, bodybuilder Joshua and even then, he couldn't knock him out. Putting Dubois (a third tier boxer) on the canvas was pretty easy and Dubois chin is way more susceptible than Joshua's. In all fairness, he's beaten everyone he's faced. But he'll be in with a real heavyweight this time and while I suspect he'll try to dance all night, he'll get caught and go down.

Hmm ... he wants a 12 week training camp after 2 weeks notice. He wants to fight on 23 Dec. It's 9 weeks til 23 Dec

Makes me think that perhaps this interview was a few weeks back?

[OldTerry]

12-14 weeks is a long time for a camp it's why alot of guys ends up over training and getting hurt. 8 weeks is fine for a training camp if there already in pretty good shape

I think that Usyk is also allowing time for his body to recover from his last fight.
