Usyk confirms Fury was his toughest fight

I've been pretty hard of Fury for his outside of the ring stuff, but to be fair, he brings a lot of top level attributes when he's actually fighting.

I gained some respect for Fury in the Usyk fight, and it's not often Usyk seems like he's actually in trouble, but he was for a while in this one. I'm inclined to take Usyk on his words on this one. It was an unusually tough fight for him, no doubt.

 

You could see Usyk being helped to the back so was easily is toughest fight physically and it's understandable look how big Fury is and he landed a lot of clean punches

 

"the 6'8 undefeated HW champ was my toughest fight"

"nah hes just saying that to get the rematch!...


what??

 

Again, for obvious reasons and due application of context. it isn’t a one man poll.

Usyk has claimed that Fury was afraid and ducking him also. Correct?

If Okek said so, we can take that to the bank too?

Nice partial quote, btw.

Try answering the simple question I posed.

It’s not that difficult.

 

So what if it is his toughest fight? Is this the new thing that keep you warm at night, after all of Fury's fans prediction gone wrong, and this is the only thing left that warms up your heart?

And someone from Fury entourage always brings up AJ.
Again if Fury fans were actually respectable i would have given them credit, and not talk s*** back, but all they doing is ignoring the obvious stuffs and facts, and always twist the reality.

You can't compare the 2 fights once again. Usyk was 34 years, semi-out of his prime for AJ 1, and AJ 2.
He was a shadow of himself in the Fury fight, being at 37,5 years old, and still smashed him, and the referee helped him surviving the 9th. round.
Just imagine having all of the Boxing establishment onto your side, being 19 months younger, 40+ lbs bigger, 19cm. reach advantage, 16cm. height advantage, and still get smashed to pieces by the tiny "middleweight", and referee saved you from being stopped, and then help and accompanies to your corner lol.

I though Fury was going to beat Usyk easy? I though Usyk couldn't hurt Fury. I though if Fury could take WIlder bombs, no way that Usyk could hurt him? I though if Fury wasn't scared of Wilder bombs, he would have walk right through Usyk? I though Fury wasn't a bodybuilder and would show AJ how a big man use his size. I though Fury was adaptive and have high ring IQ, and if Usyk was outboxing him, he would have change his gameplan, and just straight through him ?
I though Fury would maul Usyk in the clinch ? I though Usyk couldn't take body shots, and was KOed by Dubois ? Imagine getting smashed to pieces to a guy who lost to Dubois ....

Should i start quote your toxic posts and how you dismisses every opinion that says Fury would get smashed? Or how you were saying how this or that won't age well, h?
How best Fury would beat Usyk. Well 19 months younger version of Fury, getting smashed to pieces, when his own team says he was the best his ever been, but not just that, he ducked the fight for 2 straight years to age Usyk out, this isn't even debatable this is 100% factual. Again when opportunity for Undisputed arise, if you are man enough, you took that chance straight away. Biggest fight in 20+ years. You don't mess around, and stall the fight for 2 good years for no reason, other than ducking your opponents in order to age him out, as his style is very age prone.

Who is the one that can't handle the truth now Boss? Who is the one that would rather die first, than admit it ?

What Usyk is saying is 100% correct. He has the right mentality, and this is what if i'm a Fury fanboy should be worried about. This means he will take the rematch even more seriously(if possible), and will try bringing better version of himself(easier said than done, as he will be even older at 38). This is the right mentality to have, cause he knows his next opponent is exactly the one he is saying he has the toughest fight.
What should struct in Fury fans is that he said he already watched the fight 2 times, just in order to see his mistake and to correct them.

BTW since his win, Usyk has addressed his fans on multiple occasion and as early as the day after the fight.
Did, Fury even acknowledge and thanks his fans ? To try calm them down, and say he will be back stronger, etc?
We haven't heard a single word from him, just his promoter chatting s**** as usual. This is how much he care about his own fans, lol.
All he care is your money, nothing else. Must be hard.

And truly last from me, till the fight starting get delayed for "obvious" reasons.

 

I think Briedis may have won marginally more rounds than Fury (I gave Fury 3 clear rounds, with 2 pretty even ones that you could argue he won), but there's no question that for those 3 middle rounds where Fury was on the ascendancy, he gave Usyk hell and I as an Usyk fan was worried Fury would take over from there. Usyk looked distressed, ate solid shots, and his body language didn't look great. Of course, legend that he is, he turned it around, but he went through the toughest few rounds of his career in the middle there.

Like, people make a thing of that 20-second period when AJ made Usyk uncomfortable in fight 2 in R9 or 10 or something, but Fury made Usyk really uncomfortable for 3 solid rounds. Doesn't sound like a lot, but it's the biggest crisis Usyk went through in his pro career (which says a lot about his quality).

 

That’s not the concept we’re discussing.

Failed side step. Again.

You said you take Usyk for his word, whatever those words be.

You won’t answer (honestly) the simple questions posed to you - because it would prove that you’re not taking Usyk purely and simply on HIS word.

I NOW see you basically stated in an earlier post that you thought it was obvious that it was Usyk’s toughest fight…and now Usyk has confirmed it.

So, it’s obvious as to why you’re falsely running with Usyk’s word being the absolute GOLDEN TRUTH for you on this particular point - because it happens to align with your own, already established opinion. Gotcha.

So, you should also believe that Fury was afraid and had been ducking Usyk before eventually climbing into the ring in May…or, do you want your cake and eat it too and reject that?

Btw, even if correctly perceived or not, if anyone has interpreted Usyk as perhaps gilding the lily, being courteous or what not here - it isn’t at all an example of flat lying as you’ve tried to unsuccessfully frame it for OTT dramatic effect.

You guys are right, you can’t make this stuff up.

 

It's actually pathetic now
They seen to hate Fury more than they love usyk

Like I knew that's obvious before, but the thread proves it. It's one of 2 things

1. He's honest and Fury is his toughest fight, certainly at heavyweight

2. He is a lying sack of s..t and not the nice, clean cut guy he portrays

I personally believe him and go with option 1. The double standards on this forum is unbelievable

 

But that's simply not true. Usyk has said many favourable things about Fury and nobody is arguing with those statements.

This one statement, however, sounds something that he said for strategic reasons. We provided you guys with plenty of arguments and evidence to support why we see it that way. You and Casual Kiwi never replied to the question that whether playing possum against Chisora and not telling the truth about it makes Usyk a liar. At least you could say lets agree to disagree but you are trying to make it look like Usyk says something nice about Fury once, only just this once in his life, and even that gets disputed. Totally not the case, and it's unfair to present the situation like that.

 

Similar to Floyd vs Maidana and cotto
Maidana won more rounds early, but cotto gave him a tougher fight and hurt him more

 

Others can learn from the above
Usyk is the better man, but moments during that fight he was Hurt and really struggling. But the champion he is learned to adapt and over come

Fury can be a p.o.s but still get credit for his performance

He pushed usyk harder than anyone, especially at Hw and we heard it from the horses mouth.
I believe him

 

I agree that it was his toughest fight as a HW. That statement is accurate and what if Usyk meant it that way? His English is still not exactly fluent. I have no problem believing he said Fury was his toughest test in this division. But overall, in his entire career? No, that's still Briedis, as Usyk has been repeatedly confirmed this over the years.
