Has Usky just demolished the myth of the modern superheavyweight?

Two champions. One “house fighter”.

 

IMO Holmes would stop last nights Fury over 15.

 

Enough of the conspiracy theory.

 

Exactly. And I don't think they are necessarily looking for slow ones with bad balance either.

 

Anyone can bulk up these days? Sure and they could do that in the past. What has really gotten better, though, is cutting weight. That's where the science has been applied.

Look, Usyk is pretty shredded at 225. Foreman was likewise at roughly the same weight. So, where is Usyk hiding all these extra pounds? Same reach, same height. It's not a bodybuilding competition. It's an athletic contest. These dudes are the same size.

I'm sure a fat Usyk, with a 20 year break, would do just fine against B-level guys like Morrison and Briggs, and would not do as well against a prime Holy.

 

Which fighter was most affiliated with the promotion?

 

Who the **** cares?

 

Log off!

 

Truth hurts.

 

At the end of the day, this was Fury's fight to lose. He did a ton of things wrong... clowning, headhunting after having Usyk out from bodyshots, getting distracted by whatever was going on with his nose, not keeping his right up, just not being engaged half the time... Conversely, Usyk did everything perfectly and squeaked out the win. And in the bigger picture, this follows Fury's entire career, pissing away generational talent through boozing and coke and wild living, inactivity and questionable nutritional decisions.

Usyk won the match from the neck up. Congrats to him. He is a true, fulltime warrior.

 

Squeaked out the win? It was a brave losing effort. Tyson won no more than 4 rounds , certainly less than 6, and on another refs watch got KTFO by the much much lighter man

 

The promoters?

 

These guys are shameless!
