    Usyk’s angles and straight left will wear Fury the **** out.

    Usyk within 9

    Abusing your body with excess alcohol, food and certain substances will always erode any natural god given talents.

    Add into that the simple fact that he is getting older and we have the reasons why he looked so bad against N'Gannou.

    Fury lacked core strength, speed, focus and any plan B once he realised N'Gannou wasn't going to fold or gas after a few rounds.

    If he fights Usyk which looks very unlikely after that terrible display then it is only going one way and that is a straight up beating being delivered by Usyk.

    If Usyk fought N'Gannou it would have been a 10 round shut out for Usyk.

    In the coming week or so I would not be surprised to hear that Fury has retired, he looked a broken man after the fight.

    Maybe there will be a rematch. Fury could get another win without having to train seriously, like he would have to for Usyk.

    "It's hard to get up at 4:00 am for roadwork when you're sleeping on silk sheets"- Hagler Fury is looking to get out of training.

    Agreed. Usyk schools both. Badly

    Fury vs Ngannou has no relevancy to Fury vs Usyk.

    The difference is that Francis has a better chin and size when it comes to width and muscle volume. Deontay has a basketball player frame.

    That is why Tyson could bully him. Deontay was not as eager as Francis to stay center and control the ring. Ngannou cuts down to hw 265lb in mma. Deontay walks around at 220lb.

    Weight matters and it allows one to take a punch and dominate the clinch.

    Fury looked totally shot tonight.
    Once he realised N'Gannou wasn't going to gas or fold he had very little to offer.
    Against Usyk he will have to work hard every second of every round and it looks like he just doesn't have it in his body to do it anymore.
    Usyk will break him down and most likely stop him late on in the fight.

    I would love for Usyk to swoop in and fight Ng though, and show what actual boxing really looks like as he wins by proper stoppage.

    Probably still Tyson, in a super ugly, controversial manner.


    Honestly though, at this point I want Usyk to make Ngannou an offer he can't refuse and upstage Fury by showing what competent boxing actually looks like as he schools Ngannou and hopefully stops him late.

    what jab? He barely threw the damn thing. When he did throw it, it landed.

    There are about 9 different Tyson Fury’s living in one head and it always remains to be seen which one shows up.

    Fury"s condition and prep was poor to non existent in the last Wilder fight and same again tonight but he performed much worse which goes to my notion he's a shot fighter finally paying for his beer and pizza regime. Also part explains why he served up Del3 instead of a contender like a Hrgovic. Ngannou was supposed to be another Del3 meal ticket but was too much for Fury to chew on. Wilder must be embarrassed watching it.

    that's all he had. Francis ate his right hand and didn't even wilt.

    I dont think you understand what happens to a fighter's ego when their best stuff doesn't have an effect they thought it would.

    Fury is typically much busier with that jab. He doubled it up maybe 2 times the whole fight. When he’s switched on he’s pumping that thing. He’s usually very good at pumping the jab and sliding out of range. We barely saw any of that. His cardio just wasn’t there. It’s clear.
