Usyk is unbreakable One of the mentally strongest fighters in the history of combat and I include every animal born from their mother in that too not just humans It's not even possible to slightly ruffle Usyk's feathers Try as hard as you like but it will all be in vain Fury's great at the mind games But so is Usyk Usyk fought AJ in his backyard when two of his previous three opponents, who he both beat in their backyard too, are very good friends with AJ and much of that data they and their teams downloaded from studying him, preparing to fight him, and sharing a ring with him would've been passed on to AJ He also invited longtime chief sparring partner Bakole into his camps for both AJ fights to be one of his chief sparring partners. Bakole describes his relationship with AJ as ''best buddies'' and I'd be very surprised if he wasn't providing AJ with intel. AJ tried playing mind games with Usyk after the face off at the weigh in for the rematch. He asked how his body was and he was alluding to Bakole allegedly hurting Usyk to the body in camp. That's why AJ did that smug little ''I got this'' smile to himself when he hurt Usyk with that low blow. I enjoyed watching Usyk wipe that smile off his face. And Usyk is talking about fighting The Dosser in his backyard even though the later's trainer is one of his chief sparring partners and has been in camp with him a whopping 8 times. That's almost half of Usyk's fights and I'll wager the vast majority of them if not all have been since he moved up to the world level, so since his 10th fight.
If you switch from throwing with the purpose of scoring to throwing for the purpose of damaging that can be a huge difference. Fury already had 15 years of practice timing, he throws with intent when he has his opponent's timing in his mind. I'm not gonna say he didn't before, though. I have no idea, I haven't watched much early TF outside of the fights where he looked bad. (hater) Putting on weight also definitely helps power, which he did do.
And they would generate much less money if he already got schooled by Usyk, that's why he wants the Joshua fight first. The fact Usyk doesn't want to fight in december is a pathetic excuse.
Of course, I totally get that. What amuses me is that Fury runs his mouth about Usyk and even though he may not be on the frontline I’m sure he has lost friends family etc and there is an emotional stress to all of that and given Fury’s background you think he may understand why he doesn’t want to rush straight back in the ring. Im gonna laugh now when he fight Charr. Hopefully those who defend him on here will stump up the PPV money
Mind games do not work on Usyk. Even if they did, Fury isn't the guy to pull it off. I laugh when I see people thinking Fury's antics are brilliant Lex Luthor level schemes. Being the smartest kid on the short bus isn't much to brag about. Fury is dominating an era of gigantic men who are mental midgets.
As an Usyk fan, I kind of agree with this. Usyk has been acting funny ever since he beat AJ in the rematch. I don't think he really wants to fight Fury. He'll want to delay it for as long as he can imo.
Usyk doesn't require or need any advantages but he already has the advantage of knowing Fury fears him. Fury walked away from the fight during Usyk vs AJ II negotiations. He didn't want it. All Fury has to do is wait a couple of months and everything is hunky dory for all parties involved and the fans. We get to see the two finalists duking it out with each other in the final for all the marbles but Fury found a way to try and secure a fight against the semi-finalist who is 0-2 against finalist Usyk which is the fight everyone knows he wanted all along.
Usyk is tougher & mentally healthier than Fury. Who seems determined to play the Bad Guy. I am rooting for the harder worker, smaller man, & with the best work ethic.
