Comments Thread For: Daily Bread Mailbag: The Fallout From Usyk vs Fury

[kafkod]

"I also didn’t like that the referee gave Fury a very long count with slow instructions then grabbed his ARM to guide him back to the corner. That’s doesn’t sit well with me because you’re taking the competitive advantage away from Usyk while catering to Fury in my opinion. If a fighter is so unsteady that the referee has to help him back to his corner which is how the referee obviously felt or he wouldn't have done it, then maybe he shouldn’t be allowed to continue to fight.…" ~ Breadman

Spot on. But what Breadman doesn't mention is that the rules say a fighter cannot be saved by the bell in any round except the final round. So if the ref thinks he hasn't recovered enough to continue fighting safely, he has to stop the fight, even if the bell has already rung. If the ref thought Fury needed helping back to his corner, then he obviously didn't think he had recovered enough to continue fighting. So according to the rules, the fight should have been stopped.

Bread, Garcia’s A and B samples came up positive so please stop. Garcia is a walking train wreak. He put himself in that position and should get a lengthy suspension. I’m sick and tired of all these fighters popping dirty and making excuses, like the most famous one about eating Mexican beef or the eating too much eggs. Pop dirty…get suspended….end of story.

Inoue is no1. He win titles in couple more.divisions. Fury is bigger than usyk, but there comes a point when size is a liability. Usyk at 6 ft 3 isn't small.
Bud is no3 or no4pfp. Weren't brook making bud look ordinary? Good job bud has a punch in him

Size might have been a liability for Fulton, then. Due to having to do a hard weight cut to make 122 lbs. Which takes away from Inoue’s best win.

See, everyone can play that game.

It's easy to bash AJ because he lost to Ruiz and Usyk.

It gets even easier as since melting down in the ring after losing to Usyk for the 2nd time he's crushed 2 cans, his sparring partner and an MMA guy while ducking Wilder, Zhang, Parker and anyone else in the top 10.

It’s because of Fury stumbling all over the place, getting repeatedly battered into the ropes for a good 20 seconds or so before the referee stepped in to call the knockdown, that I actually went 10-7 on that round. Fury was so badly hurt that 10-8 was justified even before the ref called it.

The 9th didn't come anywhere near close to being a 10/7 round. The ropes held Fury up so a count should have been done well before the ref did so. The ref helped Usyk out there, not Fury.

Usyk will KO Fury in the rematch Fury got brain damaged gods

Luis nery beat a legit boxer before losing to inoue. Fury didn't I'm afraid. As I say inoue will be a super featherweight champ when all is said and done. Beating the best over 6 divisions. Usyk only meeting guys in 2 divisions. More likely to come across talent pool over 6 divisions

Inoue is most likely never going to be outweighed by 40 pounds against any opponent.

I think inoue can best any boxer 15% bigger than him who goes life and death with a mma fighter. Fury is 15% bigger than usyk.
Inoue started his pro career at 108lb, so trust me inoue had best opponents much bigger than 15% bigger.And we know 15% at lower weights is much more significant, fury just had surplus weight
Give it up.

He's already beaten Parker (who beat Zhang and Wilder by the way) fair and square but he's ducking him...OK

Joshua faced Usyk, the best current HW twice, arguably best P4P fighter, I guess it's fair to pretend that he's not such a puss as you pretend.

And I'm not even a Josh fan.
