    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.

    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.

    I said before and I'll say it now, Usyk whips him.

    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.

    Seems really fake. Tyson let Ngannou knock him down rd 3 and let Ngannou hit him. He also faked being tired in the last two rds. How does the conditioning of a pro boxer look more gassed than an amateur? Fake as fuk. The split decision was also decided before the fight to minimize betting payouts.

    I'll tell you the problem Fury had, he drank 26 pints instead of only 25. Had he drank only 25 like he said he would have walked through Francis.

    Fury can't deal with Usyk's shiftiness, speed, timing, and skill. Especially not this version. Usyk wins it clearly.
