As Usyk crumbles to the canvas

depending what round

if he goes out early like Mike Spinks this is a disappointment feeling

 

I'd wake up and say: What a surreal dream it was!

 

Writing this thread is like giving yourself a reassuring hug. Would be wrong to deny you that, if you need it...

 

I have esteem for Usyk.

Fury decision would be the ideal result, for me.

But what will be will be.

 

If @miniq thinks Fury will lose to a Ukrainian, that's actually a fine portent for Fury, given what happened the last time @miniq thought Fury would lose to a Ukrainian.

 

Both Usyk and Fury want no part of Inoue. And smartly so.

 

Happy, because when Usyk hits the canvas, it will be him dropping to his knees to praise God for another great victory.

 

No lesbian born from they/them's mother...

 

Whatever the outcome, At least he went for it & didn't wait the guy out or even entirely duck him, no shame either way, need more of it in Boxing.

 

Oluwafemi, for all his punching power, is soft upstairs. I'm not categorically stating that Usyk gets stopped — I afford him more respect than that — just that Joshua is no metric for Fury's fighting desire, grit and instincts.

 

The two metrics which most intrigue me.

1. Both are famed for incredible stamina and gas tank. But only one has proven to have these qualities in a high punch volume fight.

2. Both have great footwork and movement, although Usyk's is clearly superior. One displays a kind of 'look at me, look how well I move for a big man' kind of flamboyant movement. Only one has the economy of movement which empowers point 1.

Gun to my head, I would pick Fury but it will be by far his toughest fight...
