He shouldn’t have said that, but having a concussion makes a person say and do some pretty ****** things. I’m speaking from experience.

No he should have said the truth, truth hurts.

Yes makes a change from his earlier view

"I believe I won that fight. I think he won a few of those rounds but I won the majority of them," Fury said.

"His country is at war, so people are siding with the country at war. Make no mistake, I won that fight in my opinion"

honest fury, what the hell is going on here

bodes a bit better for him in the rematch possibly

Fury loves to shut people up, loves to be doubted (going right into fight time because I imagine it gets to him in prep time), and rallies when he has a real challenge. He knows in his heart that he was best in the last fight And I imagine he truly struggled seating a dude who is that much smaller than him beating him.
Usyk has been watching tape and putting together his master plan. He will be better this fight.
I generally hate rematches, but this one is so dang intriguing. It goes deep to the core of both of these guys and their core requires digging SO MUCH deeper than non-fighters could comprehend. Whoever wins this is a true great in my humble opinion.

It's hard to bet against Usyk as he proved that he could get through some very tough rounds that other fighters couldn't against Fury , IF anyone can beat him then there's only Fury around to do it . I see another razor thin decision and a completely focused and serious Tyson could edge it , setting up another mouth watering trilogy . These guys are old now but still head and shoulders above the rest.

Can Fury go 12 hard rounds anymore? It didn't look like it last time.

Yes, that is the real question in my mind. A focused Fury is very dangerous like in the first 6 rounds in the first fight. I just don't know if he can sustain that level of focus and intensity for 12 rounds. If he can sustain it, he wins. If he cannot, Usyk probably stops him late this time.

Fury likes to keep relaxed in the ring and it helps him to clown a bit. When I look at this fight I see a classic situation where both guys had their moments. Usyk's moments looked a lot more spectacular but I think this is an illusion. Also Fury going for a KO is not his best strategy but I actually think he knows this and is only talking smack.

Lets analyze your comment critically: Assume that this is absolutely true and Fury "Fell down" because he fought ten good rounds but could not put it in gear for the championship rounds. A lot of people claim this problem to be a virtual death sentence for Fury's chances in the rematch. To me it is a simple matter: Train for two more rounds. Fury generally does not have stamina problems and should be able to prepare for two more rounds.

I think this is a legit concern and if Fury is smart, I do not think he will just go for the KO like he is telling everyone. Rather he should just prepare a strategy that enables him to run his engine a few more rounds. That is 6 minutes... Very doable.

I think Usyk knows what worked and what didn’t in the last fight and unless Fury changes something I see Usyk winning by UD or atoppage

Keep Fückwit John away from the corner and the media would make a difference.

Fury doesnt need the drama or distractions his Dad provides.
