Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury and his struggles with the so-called little guys

[BoxingUpdates]

Tyson Fury is a mountain of a man.Standing at 6ft 9in and weighing over 260lbs, Fury so often makes his heavyweight opponents look tiny. That could be seen when he towered over Oleksandr Usyk in their extraordinary 10-minute face-off ahead of their rematch this weekend.

Terrible article written by a Fury hater. In reality Fury was domestic level when he faced McDermott in the first fight, and he won at least 6, if not 7 rounds if you mute the biased commentary. Vs Cunningham, he got caught, it happens, he lost rounds 2 and 3, but won every other round very easily for me. Slow jab? Hardly! Fury is known for his speed. Vs Wallin he got cut very early, that he fought through that and won by 4-5 points was tremendous.

He is also the only man to beat prime Wilder and he beat Usyk the first time, just got robbed. Not since the days of Brian Sutherland beating up 300 men a night on the mean streets have we seen a more complete fighter. Nash out - His Excellency

What a one-sided article...

This article seems pretty anti-Fury. The rematch will be interesting. I had Usyk winning 7-5 with an extra point for the standing 8. 115-112. I had it 4-2 Fury after 6 & usyk 5-1 in the 2nd half with the extra point. Usyk adjusted so quickly I don’t think Fury was ready for it.

I said to the guy next to me when Fury was having success to the body that he needed to immediately follow through wiith tying him up & leaning on him to tire him out but he never did that. Usyk made adjustments & Tyson had no answer & started tiring.

Usyk really impressed me in the 2nd half of the fight. I think Tyson needs to have that same body attack but he needs to tie him up immediately after & slow the pace down. If he doesn’t slow Usyk down I’m pretty sure Usyk wins another decision. Fury needs to find a way to cut off the ring faster & use his obvious size advantage to slow down Usyk. I prefer he came in heavy but with better fitness so can go 12 rounds more efficiently.

Fury is the one HW who has the combination of size & skill who could trouble Usyk but Usyk’s skillset & ability to adjust mid-fight is out of this world & his stamina is elite so Fury needs to find a way to lean on Usyk & slow him down.

I would try to aggressively go after him early like he did in the 2nd Wilder fight. Get on him early & go to the body. Obviously Usyk is not Wilder & he can box his way out of trouble but he showed *****s in his armour against Dubois & the first Fury fight. Usyk don’t like the body shots & that is the key to the rematch for Fury. Punish Usyk to the body & then grab him. Make the ref have to break them up. Don’t let Usyk get comfortable. This is an intriguing rematch because of the high skillset of both fighters.

They both can make adjustments with their high ring IQs. Usyk is at another level when it comes to in fight adjustments so Fury will have to adapt but I’m convinced the body is key for Fury to win.

I had it 114-113 Fury, but for me, you had it 4-2 Fury after 6, which implies you gave Usyk round 7? If so, that's surprising as I, and everyone I've talked to thought Fury won Round 7 clearly, so that would be 5-2 after 7. I feel that people have rewritten history after the fight. I followed the fight response live and it was all razor tight first 3 rounds, then after the fight people wrongly saying Usyk swept the board R1,2,3.

It could have went either way. 4-5-6-7 were clear Fury for me. 8,9,10 clear Usyk, plus the knockdown, so from those rounds it is even. So it is who won 3 rounds out of 1,2,3,11,12. All those rounds were close and could have been scored either way. Most gave Fury Round 12 as well.

Strongly think Fury gets the job done by KO this time. Nash out - His Excellency

Brian was a once in a lifetime fighter. We'll never see his kind again. That was the real mean streets, not the movie. Nash out - His Excellency

Still, nothing beats West Linn, Oregon.

Fury only 6ft 7. He will beat usyk I think. If usyk has to lose someday, why not to fury?
