Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury promises knockout revenge over Oleksandr Usyk

[_Rexy_]

Well, if he didnt let Usyk off the hook after hurting him in the sixth round, he may have gotten a knockdown at least.

If he uses his physical advantages, height and reach, he could just box from the outside. Easier said than done against Usyk though.

Usyk might not be one of the heavyweights you think of as one of the best ever, but give him his props. He beat Fury, Dubois, AJ twice and achieved undisputed champion status, cruiserweight and heavyweight.

When was Usyk hurt bad and Fury just "let off."

This BS keeps getting spouted off. Was it when Usyk got hit to the body, and retreated for a second? Usyk was never in any risk of being dropped. Fury got rescued from having his head taken off though.

Fury vs Wlad was not an actual fight. The were a couple of mimes in there.
Fury vs Wilder was a display of clumsiness and dirty tactics.

Nah bro that's just your memory & feelings lying, it's weird to me how that fight gets remembered by most people actually so I know you're in the majority but in this instance, the majority are simply wrong.

All of those were high-level boxing performances as well as hard fights for at least one guy (& most of them were hard fights for both), which is why I suggested watching them back today so your perspective is fresh.

The obvious factor that detracts from the Wlad win is the likelihood of juicing, rather than the performance.

I will give my opinion of this for like the 3,000 time:

When he is actually done, and I do not mean his "I am retired" back and forth on "X" to get attention but actually done, the boxing world will miss Tyson Fury. The dude just does not have that switch that comes on to filter whatever is bouncing around in his head. If he thinks it, he says it, contradictions and random thoughts be praised. He is a blender at a drunken party: No one really wants to deal with him directly, but if someone else is willing to hit the "on" switch everyone comes to see what comes out of it. He is a ****y flavor in a world of vanilla. Boxing is better with him than it will be without him.

I do NOT believe for one solitary second Fury is going for a KO. He saw what worked for him in the rounds he was dominating. He has seen what Usyk exposed in him that resulted in him getting straight up beat last time. The best way to give Usyk everything he wants is an overly aggressive Fury. Usyk will smile to himself, play defensive, counter to the midsection which is conveniently placed at eye level for him, and take over the fight with pressure and combinations once Fury gasses. Fury is too freaking smart for that. This will be a great fight, but I think he boxes from distance and works defensively trying to make Usyk come to him. Usyk will, as he will be ready and will not tire out, but that is what worked early for Fury. He needs Usyk opening up trying to score. It is his only path to victory in my opinion, and he HAS to have the stamina to go blow by blow with Usyk.

If he goes for the KO, he will get it. It just will not be Usyk laid out.

Usyk said he will not leave you alone. When you have success with usyk, don't leave usyk alone

Fury says a lot of things.

If Fury pulls that dirty roughhousing shit against Oleksandr Usyk like he did Deontay Wilder. He will get disqualified.

No! Fury is not knocking anyone the fuck out. If anything he is the one who is going to get knocked the fuck out.

Thanks to that partial and racist referee; Who spared him the last time by intervening and giving him a mandatory eight count. He would have gotten knocked the fuck out.

[ELPacman]

This could get Fury KO'd if he's overly aggressive. He's shown that he can be rocked by Usyk previously and this time around, it could be worse.

Granted and I hate to say this, Usyk is getting older. He might finally get old overnight and it becomes his night where he loses. Who knows. Fury has been on the decline and while Usyk has been maintaining himself. Though maintaining yourself only goes so far as you get older and the body isn't what it was.

[Willow The Wisp]

Usyk is going to beat his ass some more. Usyk has been fighting since he was five years old. He has the amateur pedigree. Deontay Wilder never learned how to box since the age of 22; The age he started fighting.

Wilder boxed Beautifully in winning the WBC crown. Olympic medalist!
If you can't see awkward skills it is you, not him who's lacking.
He had more wins and more KO's and more successful title defenses than Fury, Joshua, Usyk, Parker, Zhang, Bakole, Ortiz or anybody else in his era.

You didn't get the memo?
Pick on Wilder month is past. This is now pick on Joshua month.
Maybe in December it'll be pick on Usyk month.

Every month is pick on MMA, Kickboxing and grappling month....Those fighters never even had the B-A-L-L-S to shoot for the real prize.

Fury landed just 86 of 371 punches (none in anger )he threw, meaning his connect percentage for the 12-round fight was 23%.
It’s unheard of for a fighter to WIN A FIGHT and land less than 100 punches in a 12 round fight, but Fury actually did there.
On the bright side, Wlad did even less......

I can't believe this has a highlight reel

Only a Fury nan appreciate the nothingness

[PunchyPotorff]

Fury is a solid fighter, even with all the bravado. I'll take him at his word that he'll be prepared
to close the show properly. Staying on the outside, jabbing, will be his key to winning IMO.
