Heavyweight Boxing

Rewatcehd the fight last night,
Was a very good fight & still think it was a 1 round fight, Both guys showed there strengths are there weakness,

Fury had Usyk bamboozled for 3 or 4 rounds on the bounce, he really had him all over the shop,

Usyk bounced back brilliantly &

You know what as brilliant as both guys are technically, the difference was cardio, Fury tired & got lazy stepped square on & the fight changed,

I always think around 7 to 9/10 is where fitness shows , The last 2 both fighters are knackered & you get through it knowing how close the end is,

I really think Lifestyle was the big difference ,it sounds like something small but its huge because its what your doing outside of the ring & outside of training for your entire life its the hardest part, As Fury tired Usyk could go to the well one more time,

Fantastic fight

In a strange way both men are very close to the end ,

What else has Usyk got to fight for & who else ?

Usyk could well retire now and he'd never need a cent in his life. Hugely wealthy. Undisputed in two weight classes. But I think he has real pride and principle. He'll give a rematch!

If Usyk has another good camp and is really ready for rematch, I think he can win again, and do even better. He is just born to win. I think Fury may struggle to get up for the rematch as much as Usyk

Then again, Fury is so big, and when you watch their fight, you can see Fury has enough power to really hurt Usyk. As I said, some shots from Fury were bombs, that were missing by millimeters.

What you guys think, but a punch that I think Fury needs to work on, even change, is his jab. It's too much a slap, sideswipe and I think Usyk was able to read it so well. Fury's jab needs to be straighter and more correct/stiff

There will be a rematch between them as they are contracted to do so, this really is not boxing any more only Saudi money and a comedy show, auld Fury playing to the media head butting and roaring and shouting and British are no good and he loves Saudi any ordinary person went on like that out there he would be in prison. The next match Fury will win and they both retire as undisputed champions, boxing is so corrupt.

Sorry, but where at all in the 3-4 rds did Fury have Usyk "all over the shop?" Reading this, you would be thinking he was teeing off on him consistently, rocking him, wobbling him, man-handling him…it was not remotely close to this. Fury landed a few good shots in those 3-4 rds is all, and a couple times, Usyk showed he was bothered. That is the absolute extent to it; but the way you describe it here is just way OTT.

I think both fighters need to take the rematch. It was a close fight and a split decision.

I’m sure Fury will fancy another crack. He was close and with a few adjustments still has a chance in a rematch.

Usyk will want to remove any question marks.

Also, it wouldn’t surprise me if they both call it a day when they are finished with each other. Particularly Fury.

He hasn’t looked after himself in life at times and that’s only going to hurt him more and more the further into his late 30s he goes.

Prime Fury beats AJ. Late 30s Fury after the wars he’s been through against a younger fresher AJ would be a tough one to call.

I thought Usyk lifted off because he thought the ref was coming i to stop the fight.

And then the ref bails out Fury instead.

Excuses for what ? I wasn't fighting ,They are 2 blokes iv never meet it doesn't effect my life in any manner,

I thought for years Fury would win & then the last fight had me changing my opinion on it, what the issues with that ? again why wouldn't i base my opinion off the account each man gave in there last outing,

I said on here last week i thought Usyk would win on points which he did, it was closer than i thought

Yes i think lifestyle was the deciding factor again what wrong with that, Both men are equally as skilled in my booked but the fitness due to life style allowed Usyk to close the show,

If Usyk is just miles better like many are making out how in the world did it end up being a 1 round fight ?? that just makes no sense Both men are exceptional fighter but Usyk had more on the night ,in my eyes it was his gas tank which he should be commended on, that doesn't happen by accident he works his arse off for it ,

Yes he was smaller than Fury but almost most are, He's still 6'3 & 223lbs stone he's a bigger man than likes of Mike & Evander

a

Holyfield was also juiced to the gills.

I reckon he probably was in his mid to late 30s to see him transform and really bulk up. That bulk/extra weight in 1995/1996 really allowed him absorb shots even better.

Point stands though. Him and Usyk are pretty much same sized men. Same height, and similar weights for their ages through the years

Both men where smaller in there prime its not even a debate its factually

Mike weighed less when he beat Berbick & lost to Buster that was his prime years

Both Mike & Evander weighed less when they fought each other twice,

Both weigh less & are smaller in height,

Crusierweight limit was 190lbs for Evander, That was the reason Mike couldn't fight in that class,

The limit for Usyk was 205lbs

Usyk wearing pants and a chain is 223 lbs. At 37 years old. Tyson aged 20 in 1986 and 1987 was weighing 220+ in underwear. Usyk has had 6 or so HW fights and max weight is 223 in "chain and pants." He has been below 220 a couple times.

Not sure what you’re reading. Aged 33/34/35 Tyson was weighing 223, and as high as 225 lbs..

What is factual here?

And regardless, Usyk compared to Fury is small. I never mentioned Tyson or Evander. It’s flat out incorrect to say Usyk bigger than Mike. Only taller..

What is Usyk’s prime? Tyson’s is 1986-1990, and he weighed as heavy as 221 in underwear.

And CW limit for Usyk was 205 lbs? CW has been 200 lbs max quite a while now. It was 190 lbs

So Mike in prime and not prime was still weighing 220 and above
