    With more experience he could have stopped Fury imo.

    Sure but to say his power is overrated is beyond ****** level. You saw him in one boxing match and the first meaningful punch Fury didnt know where he was. Hes lucky the round had ended IMO

    His elbows are giving him issues because he slams them into people's skulls... They even did a slow mo of that between one of the rounds..

    He looked sloppy as hell. Unless he's able to somehow show up for the Usyk fight looking sharper, he's going to get dominated by the Ukranian.

    Gndou cant even move his head, or walk backwards properly (he leaps, wtf). He cant help overreacting after every feint, and he has problems letting his hands go or going for a KO after a KD (how many punches did he throw after the KD, zero?).

    But I have to believe that the HW world champion (who literaly did nothing for 10 rounds, nothing at all but the clown in a southpaw stance that he has never used before) cannot win clearly vs that bum.

    Do you have to see a guy entering in the ring to hit the referee with a chair in order to know when a fight is staged? ffs.

    He was also switch hitting, imagine a complete novice getting bored boxing in the orthodox stance and going southpaw just coz they felt like it

    Usyk could be on the slide as well. Both are there for the taking.

    Fury was 100% in better shape for this fight than the Dillian Whyte one, physically he looked better than he did in Wilder 3 as well.

    Fury needs to pull out now. If I was his coaches I would push the fight to March.

    You'd expect him to be undone on the inside/in the clinch by a ****ing MMA fighter, which makes that aspect less embarrassing.

    The embarrassing thing is that he tried to clinch Ngannu at all, and then, kept on trying even when he kept being punished for it, crazy, and I can only put it down to hubris.

    The same hubris that clearly led Fury to not train for this fight and overlook his opponent in favour of fighting Usyk.
