In all seriousness, I think he should give the head coaching job to Andy Lee. Sugar Hill is starting to look like a bit of a poser.

Embarrassing for Fury was that he had talked smack of Usyk right from his wins vs AJ through the build up of their clash. He called him a middleweight who he was going to destroy instead he was the one who was rag-dolled in the ring before the whole world.
Fuy wasn't just caught by a lucky punch but was worked into that position where he was whooped with a right-left combo. And Usyk made him gassed. Honestly, I don't which fight you were watching. Prior the 9th round he had only won 3 rounds 4, 5 and 6. Over 12 rounds he won 4 rounds at most if you give him round 12.
You Fury fans obviously believe that showboating earned him points, they didn't. So, the fight was far from being close. It's 8-4 for Usyk. The only thing that can be said, is that without the 9th round beat up the judges would have robbed Usyk.
The only reason Fury had success was because in round 4 Usyk started closing the distance (seeing that Fury is nothing special, semi gassed out and arms dropped), but he was not having luck with that strategy. Round 7 Usyk went back to fighting from a distance and started rocking Fury.
It’s crazy to believe that Usyk being a shorter man has an advantage over Fury fighting from a distance. I don’t see Fury improving enough to outmaneuver Usyk in the rematch. Fury has power and speed, but does not have the power or speed needed to really hurt Usyk to the body.
Dec 21 Usyk will win, probably by a stoppage.

I was surprised he looked as distracted as he did when his nose got smashed. Maybe that's never happened to him before. Similar to when he got badly cut vs Wallin.
Good chin but doesn't like blood. Usyk's tactics for the rematch? Make him bleed. That'll do.

I do too. I think Sugar Hill, although 100 times better than John 'Use the jab we're fighting men' Fury, he is overrated, I believe he has limitations in his tactical setup, plan B, and advice in between rounds. I think Sugar is an on top Coach, he doesn't know how to turn a fight when things start going wrong. Nash outNash out likes this.
