    At the 4:15 minute mark, we see the exact moment that Ustinov breaks Fury's willpower. Notice that Fury is the first to stop the staredown. As he turns away, he looks down in submission. Fury no longer believes in himself.

    Until that point, Fury was trying to dominate Ustinov. But Ustinov is clearly not intimidated. Just look at Ustinov's facial expression: all aggression...all bad intent.

    Afterwards, the pair sat at a table, but now Fury is wearing sunglasses to hide his fearful eye expression. Notice Fury's body language: it is self-conscious and vulnerable. Fury tries to hide his nervousness by acting tough, but he's clearly faking it. You can see Fury's fist trembling, too.

    This reminds me of being in English in school and teachers over annotating poems, saying the author meant this and getting really deep.

    We could say that Ustinov is the teacher and Fury is the student.

    It's usually easy to sense submissive body language, especially if one guy is scared to fight.

    I think if I ate shite for 8 - 12 weeks and went on the **** everyday i could possibly get in the same shape as Fury.

    But it wouldnt be easy I would really need to dedicate myself :)

    I do think there may be a chance fury didnt 100% fancy this one especially after training for a fighter like chisora

    The little comments how Ustinov had been training with wlad etc maybe he had a little doubt and with his uncle taking ill he's just thought no way.

    Answer me this would fury of pulled out still if it was another Martin rogan type opponent??

    You got the time lines mixed up. The h2h with the sun glasses was the day before the weigh-in.
    So by your own reasoning , Fury had more self-confidence since he took the shades off.

    I didn't realize that Ustinov had been training with God Himself. No wonder Ustinov seemed so confident during the stare down with Fury.

    I don't think Fury would have pulled out if the opponent had been someone like Martin Rogan.

    Fury **** his pants right in that moment when Ustinov have him that stare. Next thing Fury calls off the fight. This was disgraceful.

    Ustinov certainly looked confident. He was relaxed and smiling in a way that seemed natural. When necessary, Ustinov projected aggression in his glare. I think this body language made an impression on Fury.

    Fury must have been especially unnerved by seeing this physical confidence in someone just as tall as himself. That's a first for Tyson Fury.

    Fury was expecting to see a fat, retired guy who is easily intimidated and really just turned up to pick up a paycheck. That'd be a typical Tyson Fury opponent. What he got instead was a guy who's 30 lbs bigger than him while being in the best condition of the last 3 years. Staring and smiling right back at him "I'm right here ******* and I ain't going nowhere!"

    Fury quickly decided he wanted none of that.
