The problem for Fury, and with Santos' strategy, is that Usyk is facking far from being Wilder. He can't bully Usyk like he did the Brown Bomber in the second fight.

Strategy reminds me of the art of war. Ch. 6 -“Rouse him, and learn the principle of his activity or inactivity. Force him to reveal himself, so as to find out his vulnerable spots.“
Definetly needs to press more. Idyl needs to be nailed down, he moves well and a game plan to beat him would be genius.

I agree. The way Fury was scurrying around the ring, you'd have thought he was being chased by 1988 Mike Tyson.

Fury was in full control winning the fight before getting hurt while showboating on the ropes

Usyk had no answer for the uppercut .

Fury just needs to stay focused and fight

Of course Usyk isn't Wilder but Fury most successful moments were when he was coming forward throwing uppercuts and to the body, he just didn't wasn't doing enough of it and when his nose went in the 8th he seemed to lose him composure completely.

Also unreal calling Wilder the Brown bomber what absolute disrespect of a great fighter like Joe Louis, Wilder is called the BRONZE bomber for a reason he's third tier...

He had his nose broken the round prior to being a pinball.

Boxing fans expected that type of bruising and roughhousing style of fight from Tyson Fury in their first bout.

However, he won’t be able to do that against Usyk. He is a much better fighter and more fundamentally sound than Fury and Wilder.

Besides, he won’t be allowed to bend the rules like he did against the American Deontay Wilder either. He’ll get disqualified.

They are going to be observing him very closely.

...until he did!!!

They seem to think Fury just bored of throwing the uppercut.
