Comments Thread For: Focused Fury Could Be A Different Proposition For Usyk

[Boxviewer]

The moment people writes him off he performs better.

In reality he has only performed well in his entire career vs a weak and limited one-trick pony Wilder.

furys jab will be tough for usyk

Or Usyk's Upper body and head movements could prove to be too much for Greedy Belly to navigate. Besides, Greedy Belly is quite easy to hit despite his slickness.

Usyk will be fast and elusive. He will win by decision.

Tyson Fury’s not an easy fight for anybody. He’s elusive, moves well, and boxes from both sides...

...and hes dirty as fück knowing all the tricks.

Lennox should know as he only beat Vitali with a headbutt.

Going to be a very boring fight and in the end it will be a draw

Lennox Lewis headbutted and used to illegally hit and hold pulling his opponents head down into uppercut with his off hand.

Mike Tyson used to try and break opponents arms with judo in the clinch, bit, hit opponents when down.

Evander Holyfield used to headbutt repeatedly.

Muhammed Ali clinched Joe Frazier excessively and illegally leant all his weight on the back of Fraziers neck, did the same to Foreman, rabbit punched Foreman multiple times.

Wladamir Klitschko clinched multiple opponents excessively (should have been dq'd vs povetkin), tried to do the same vs David Haye


It's funny that when all these ATG's do it "that's heavyweight boxing", but all the Usyk fanboys want him vs Fury to be officiated like an amateur bout.

If Usyk can't cope with it getting rough in there that's on him, he has the option to fight rough back and I'd argue that it's almost a prerequisite ability to be an all time great.

If Usyk gets mugged by Fury fighting dirty that is Usyk EXPELLED from the heavyweight ATG discussion as it will prove he can't handle those tactics that virtually all ATG's had in their back pocket.

A pro fighter who is six-foot-nine will be a handful. Usyk seems to be the sentimental favorite because Fury has made himself such a repellent character. But it promises to be a difficult fight for him because the size difference makes it a whopping big mismatch. The only way he wins is with another demonstration of marathon stamina where he dances around Fury all night long, popping him with quick shots from odd angles while Fury swings and misses a lot. I expect Fury to use every clinch as an opportunity to dump his whole weight on Usyk, so hopefully Usyk has practiced some jujitsu moves that will have him out of the way when Fury's considerable bulk topples him over into empty space.

Greedy belly

Smelly belly...slava Ukraini!

Fury has gotten far too ****y for his own good and become UNLIKEABLE and when that happens God usually humbles the fighter with a loss e.g. Broner, Judah, McGregor, Hopkins, Naseem etc. Therefore, I'm picking Usyk to take all the gold plus Fury got dropped and went life and death with an MMA newbie in his last fight.

"repellent character" - nicely put

Usyk is certainly MY sentimental favorite. Usyk is class act and perhaps a bit of an overachiever given his size disadvantage and having come up from Cruiserweight.

I reckon Usyk has at least as much, if not better, fight IQ than Fury, and Fury is pretty smart in the ring. I'm hoping that will give Usyk enough of an edge to win.
