Comments Thread For: Did Tyson Fury have the wrong plan for Oleksandr Usyk?

[Slowhand]

Why did he handle Joe Joyce with ease in the WSB then?

Styles make fights

JJ mostly throws straight punches and Usyk has no problem with those (esp with JJs hand "speed"), but Chisora likes coming forward with looping, sloppy hooks that arenīt always aimed at anything. Seemed like Usyk had trouble reading Chisoraīs punches and their range in the first half. Just a guess tho.

[James Hunt]

Yes. He should've come lighter.
Usyk was the only guy that got into his head.

Good article but I have to disagree with ''After all, he did better than all of Usyk’s other opponents.'' Mairis Briedis did the best nobody has pushed or stayed with Usyk like he did.

Fury got a low fight IQ he's no Bruce Lee..If I want someone to train.me, it wouldn't be fury

[Haka]

Yes the wrong game plane was showing up in the first place.

[hugh grant]

I can’t get over how dumb boxers can be and their trainers. Their are so many examples of how big heavyweights beat small fast heavyweights. It’s no secret. Fury should have at least tried to do it the right way. He should have also at least act like he lost the first fight. He went in there with NO HUNGER. Time to retire.

No, he can't retire on loss. The general consensus is fury was overated. Time for fury to get a few more wins to show the pedestal he was put on was justified

[Superbee]

Not the wrong plan.... Just the wrong skills ... Ever heard of Darwinism ?

[Nightfall]

No he didnt have the wrong plan, He is shot. Its time for Fury and Joshua to do a British retirement fight

Fury from Fury v Wilder 1 destroys Usyk. Have a look at version of Fury. Fury left everything in the ring after Wilder 3. Fury was the only one with the balls to fight wilder when Wilder was still a killer. What was it, 8 or 9 knockdowns over 30 something rounds. Casuals know sweet fuq all about boxing.
