Comments Thread For: Ben Davison Explains Why The Delay Has Worked In Tyson Fury's Favor

[_Rexy_]

Unlike a lot of people I saw this fight as 50/50 but I actually think Fury is training for the wrong kind of fight now. He can't outbox Usyk (we saw how he struggled against Cunningham who went on to do poorly at HW) but he can lean on him and rough-house him and wear him down.

But Fury seems to believe now (I think mistakenly) that he can outbox Usyk by getting fitter and losing weight. I don't think he would have done or even thought this if it wasn't for Ngannou fight and the delays

I think it’s more that he knows he can’t just grab and lean on Usyk. Fury was very gassed against Francis.

He could do, Fury is a huge guy and Usyk is very small. I think that was the real reason Fury struggled against Ngannou tbh. Fury's size is normally a huge advantage for him in fights

Also Ngannou really was awkward with his size and that extended counter left hand. Joshua got hit by it a few times early on. Wallin couldn't touch AJ when he was doing the same moves.

Wrote a whole load of nothing. He got cut as simple as that s*** happens.

No. The cut happened on the last postponement and we're not denying that it happened. The fact still remains, he delayed multiple times prior to that one when he looked in even lesser shape.

Multiple? There was no delay to Fury Usyk before that except Usyk delaying, first refusing the Dec offer as he said he wanted to rest more and not another fight that year, so Fury fought Chisora then Usyk refused the Wembley offer (i said back then he wasn't serious about Wembley, he waited out on the Saudi cheque which worked out in the end) so it was only Usyk who delayed the fight prior. Once made there was only one postponement, a legit cut.

Enough with the Usyk AJ chatter.

Princess Joshy got schooled twice, clowned himself afterwards and has been crushing cans ever since.

He's even too scared to feast on Joe Parker's sloppy seconds.
