Comments Thread For: Oleksandr Gvozdyk Says Oleksandr Usyk Rematch Will Be Worse for Tyson Fury

[elegua]

What I know is that guy was knocked down by Dubois and the referee favored him...

I'm going to bet on Fury to beat Usyk in December and I hope Fury goes in as the underdog. You're going to see more of Fury's long jab doing a paint job on Usyk. Usyk is a very good fighter but not a great fighter. I don't think Usyk should be on the top of the pound for pound list.... The Big Show

Fury got whipped by his own ARROGANCE. I dont believe hes smart enough to whip Usyk. He has all the gifts but lacks the brains and modesty. It will be far more difficult in the second fight for him.

Lots of people didn't like Ali back in his day also, But Ali knew how to build a gate and make money even if he had to brag and call himself pretty or The Greatest...Well Fury can piss people off and people want him beat..Tyson laughs all the way to the bank.... Winner!!

Fury was doing fine up till he got caught. But he was laying on the ropes I assume to get some rest for the final 3 rounds.if he stays in the middle of the ring he wins

not a chance lol….he was cooked by usyks constant movement and work rate and you think winning 3 or 4 rounds at most is enough to think that fury can go better your out of your mind and he was absolutely battered and saved by the ref in round 9 as well.
fury had a one and only chance to beat usyk which was the first fight as he had this self proclaimed best of his era tag around his neck and attitude of invincibility that’s now been knocked out of him.
picked usyk to stop fury late which he should have done but this time fury will not get help from the ref…..his advantage is now over lol

Of course he would say that; he’s a fellow Ukrainian. Lol I’m betting on Fury in the rematch. Without round nine, Tyson would’ve probably won. Of course, all props to Usyk because round nine DID happen. But I’m inclined to believe Fury will make several adjustments — not just to his fight plan — that will make a difference in the rematch. Usyk, despite what many think, won’t make any pre-fight adjustments; he obviously did just fine in the first fight. Olek will have to make all his adjustments on the fly this time.

In the immediate aftermath of Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Uysk 'I believed that it was one of Uysk's best ever performances. But when I watched back the fight, and simultaneously compared his performances against Anthony Joshua? Oleksandr Uysk skill for skill actually fought a better fight twice back to back vs Anthony Joshua'.

Oleksandr Uysk was able to land 170 punches against both Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua 'But the difference was? Uysk vs Joshua was having to produce a greater effort in order to land those punches. Oleksandr Uysk threw a total of 407 punches vs Tyson Fury, and landed a total of 170 punches. Were as against Anthony Joshua, Oleksandr Uysk threw a total of 712 punches, and landed a total of 170 punches'.

Those statistics were taken from Oleksandr Uysk vs Anthony Joshua II 'Joshua actually out worked Uysk during their first fight, Anthony Joshua threw a total of 641 punches and landed a total of 123 punches. Oleksandr Uysk threw a total of 529 punches, and landed a total of 148 punches'.

Anthony Joshua managed the pace of Oleksandr Uysk's fighting style better than Tyson Fury, Joshua was able to hurt Uysk more and? Anthony Joshua at no point during the 24 rounds of competition vs Oleksandr Uysk was he hurt anywhere near much as Tyson Fury'.

The reality of those 3 fights, is that Oleksandr Usyk had to produce a greater effort 'And skill for skill, he had to fight a better fight twice back to back in order to beat Anthony Joshua'.

They were all competitive fights, but all the evidence suggests that Oleksandr Uysk fought a better fight twice back to back vs Anthony Joshua.

I believe both Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Uysk can fight better fights in their rematch 'But Fury is going to have to improve more in order to win'.

Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Uysk was fatigued badly by round 6 and 7, this is what became very apparent to me while analysing the fight. I stated going into the fight, that Fury's endurance is overrated, and I posted the evidence to back this observation of mine.

And what I mean by overrated is that? His endurance levels have been greatly embellished and over exaggerated. Tyson Fury historically in all of his top level fights, once they became competitive 'Fury fatigues badly, and in those situations he will produce unforced errors at a greater frequency than Anthony Joshua'.

Note: Both Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk in my opinion can fight better fights, in their potential rematch. Oleksandr Uysk from his recent performances, most likely has more evidence that he can improve. Tyson Fury in comparison does not quite have the same reference points of experienced, because Fury is inexperienced fighter at World and Elite level compared to Oleksandr Uysk and Anthony Joshua.

Tyson Fury can look back at his fights vs Deontay Wilder, Dillian Whyte and Derek Chisora 'But from a competitive and stylistic perspective, those fights skill for skill are nowhere near the same level of challenge as Oleksandr Uysk'.

Oleksandr Uysk before he ever fought Tyson Fury, was a vastly more experienced fighter at World and Elite level boxing than Tyson Fury. Oleksandr Uysk had already beaten Anthony Joshua twice back to back 'Joshua is a Olympic Champion, and was a two time World Heavyweight Champion. Anthony Joshua has also beaten the most top level Heavyweights out of all active heavyweights'.

It is that type of experience, and those reference points 'Which fighters can use to prepare for fights, or build back after a loss'.

Tyson Fury for the first time in his career inside a boxing ring 'Has lost a fight for real. Well many people would say he has lost two fights back to back, because Francis Ngannou beat Tyson Fury'.

The situation Tyson Fury is in now, people need to ask themselves the question? Where does Tyson Fury look to, what actual experiences within boxing does he take from in order to build back for his rematch vs Oleksandr Uysk? Tyson Fury is not a Olympic Champion, and his resume within the professional ranks does not really have great depth at top level skill for skill'.

That is why Tyson Fury immediately taking the rematch vs Oleksandr Uysk does deserve credit 'We have never witnessed Fury behave in this way before. Tyson Fury did not immediately rematch Deontay Wilder after their first fight, which actually showed that Fury did not win the fight'

Tyson Fury did not win the first Deontay Wilder fight 'Fighters don't win World titles by being backed up all night, decked twice once badly. Deontay Wilder actually had more of a stronger claim to winning that fight, than Tyson Fury. The draw ultimately was the correct decision given'.

The point that which I am making is? If Tyson Fury really believe that he beat Deontay Wilder in their first fight 'Then he should of immediately put pressure on Deontay Wilder to make the rematch'.

Historically we have seen great Champions, such as Bernard Hopkins behave in this way most notably 'Jean Pascal vs Bernard Hopkins I, was scored a draw. Bernard Hopkins believed that he won the fight, the fight was staged in Canada'.

In the post fight press conference, was basically already campaigning for the rematch 'You all know my record, anybody I fight twice I destroy'. Bernard Hopkins.

Tyson Fury has not really checked any fighters like that 'Fury did not check Wilder like that, Fury did not check Kiltschko like that. But Tyson Fury is attempting to check Oleksandr Uysk in that manner, immediately applying pressure for the rematch'.

The rematch between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Uysk 'Stylistically the action is most likely going to play out very similar. Tyson Fury some how has to manage and deal with the action better'.

Oleksandr Uysk has the ability to fight the same style of fight, but better and more refined 'Uysk has already proven this twice back to back vs Anthony Joshua' etc.
