Comments Thread For: Warren Confirms Fury Wants To Go Back In With Usyk And Will Enforce Rematch

[SteveM]

I doubt Fury can adjust at this stage of his career! I trust Usyk to adjust better just like he did agains AJ 2 vs a more dialed and agressive Joshua. He always has in every fight he's ever had.
Fury himself said in the post-confernece that this was the best he can fight, he really tried, and that he can't really be better.

imo he doesn't need to fight better. He needs to focus more and improve his cardio. He got over-confident which is normally the downfall of anyone never mind elite sportsmen where split seconds and a cm here or there mean the difference between victory and defeat

I like both Fury and Usyk. Great fighters the both of them. The biggest difference between the two besides the size difference is how Seriously Usyk takes boxing. Thats the difference.
Fury cant fook around during training. He has to take it seriously. He has to have a REAL game plan. He has to have a plan B & plan C.
He needs to watch how Teo dealt with LOMA the first half of the fight, then he better realize how Loma negated that jab of Teo and have an answer for that.

IBF's stripping Usyk before they strip Alvarez. Remember that nonsense folks...

Good point. Hgrovic vs Dubois will likely be in Saudi so the IBF will get their cut. Pretty sure there's not the same money to be made by making Nos. 1 and 2 in (normally crap) IBF 168 rankings fight for the vacant title

Fury pre Wilder had the ability to outbox or stop Usyk. I don't think he does now. The Wilder fights took alot out of him and he isn't getting better with age. Fury doesn't have the will to win that Usyk has, clear as day. He never would have gotten hit with those clean shots from Usyk in his prime, his reflexes are a big part of his abilities and they are going.

I have enjoyed Fury and he was absurdly talented for such a big man. But the years of drugs, weight gains and Wilder appear, to me at least, to have taken their toll. Usyk lives clean, is in great shape and has proven that his will to win is unbreakable.

Fury said in a prefight article days before the fight, that it is still fun but he isn't that worried about belts or glory, he has done all that and is on the back part of his career. Total 180 from Usyk, whose whole goal in life is to go down as P4P all timer, and he has achieved it, and yet is still hungry. Fury is doing it for simply something to do so he isn't bored. Maybe the close loss will ignite a fire in Fury, but if history holds true, I see him coming into a rematch overweight and there for a paycheck.

I think Usyk may well stop Fury in the rematch.

Of course they want the rematch, Fury and Warren want the money and the money they could have made fighting Joshua.

Sure I'd like to see the rematch but there is a part of me that would like to see Usyk retire and give the greedy man and his unscrupulous promoter a double barrel dose of Karma.

Beyond these two and Joshua, the heavyweight division doesn't look that good and isn't deep. Wilder seems done and Zhang, albeit very good, probably won't stick around much longer.

Joshua ain't done shît to put himself into any conversation regarding top heavy weights in the 2 years aince Usyk schooled him.

Wilder and Zhang seem done because Joseph Parker exposed them as old tired and limited fighters.

Parker is on track to becoming a world champ again and in rematch with Joshua would expose him as being done also.

Usyk v Parker would be a way more intriguing fight than another Fury clownshow or AJ pasting.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Usyk, Fury and Parker are in the top now.

I give Joshua the benefit of doubt to be n.4 or even 3, but he must beat somebody relevant.

[thack]

Some talk about Usyk v Fury winner should fight Joshua ? as if Joshua is the man to beat ?? Let's be clear everyone who knows anything about boxing are eager to see a rerun of this epic in Oct. and understand that Joshua is just a reserve , a substitute, nothing more..

But he only made one mistake the whole fight. I had him up 5-3 going into the 9th round. He just stopped going to the body and he stopped leaning on him. Plus he was leaning on the ropes way too much. He did better work in the middle of the ring, throwing that uppercut and body shots from out of Usyk's range. I would say if anything age would effect Usyk a bit more but Fury does have miles on him.

He stopped that because he couldn't keep up with Usyk's pace, plus the combos that Usyk started to throw after Fury hurt him.

[VislorTurlough]

Cool. Let the stripping begin. And washed museum relics like Joshua and Wilder can fight for “the title” and pretend they are champs again. Thanks IBF, you corrupt pusssies
