Let's be honset. Usyk had to break down fury and tire him out. The game plan was to be in his face all day (I won't leave you alone). Usyk had mentally to be super prepared because to tire fury out meant to be able to take fury punches, get leaned on, work with fury weight and never get him comfortable. In the hinsight it's a magical win imo and an enormous atg effort and achievement
Nah, there’s just you, side stepping all valid counter points/questions and continuing to make posts with no meat..and now resorting to sliding in comments indirectly. One of your most recent side steps atop the rest?? - ignoring the highlighting of your misquoting of Usyk. Well done. You haven’t upheld your position at all but you do know that since you framed it as a boost for Fury, - whatever you say, it will always be good enough for Fury sympathisers desperately looking for some scraps to feed on.
Tiring Fury out appeared to be part of the game plan and Usyk certainly took some punishment pulling it off. Great performance.
Careful. Don’t let logic get in the way of the desperate “latch on” to Usyk’s cursory answer to a framed, on the spot question that asked if it was his “toughest fight”. The framed question didn’t ask if Fury was his “toughest” opponent - as the OP falsely suggested. Now IF they’d ONLY also asked who was your “toughest” or “worst” ref.....? Appalling ref and, as it was, all his errs were in favour of Fury. Funny about that.
More from Usyk's "3KDR (3 Knockdown Rule)" podcast interview : "I respect Fury because he's a great fighter, great man, very smart" - Oleksandr Usyk
This forum is hilarious. Usyk literally admits that Fury was his toughest opponent and the uppercut hurt him bad and people here are like “Nah”
Incredible, in 30 years time Tyson Fury will be described as never beating a top fighter, got KO'd 6 times, robbed 7 people of a victory, robbed a bank The hate is off the charts
People who hate on Fury as a fighter are either haters or just don't understand boxing If he does the work and trains up to his rematch camp over the summer then he is favourite to win in my book. Fury gets fat quickly without training unlike usyk so thats one factor he has to take control of.
Usyk losing just 3 rounds in the hardest fight of his career, just proves what an absolute badass he really is.
Fury KO'd Cunningham and that was his toughest self admittedly... But doesn't work when Usyk says the same okay.
ITS HADDRDER BECUS IT LOOK LIKE HE STRUGLE AND THEN IT WENT ON FOR LONGER! Ignore that Usyk was prepping for Fury since 08 and still took a while Im the biggest Usyk fanboy, and giving Fury credit makes it a better win for him. Fury's toughest self-admittedly was Cunningham despite a KO win. Just bc Wilder took him further into the fight and wasn't going down didn't make it a tougher fight, because Fury knew WHAT to do, he just had to do it. Against Cunningham he didn't know it would work, he just adapted and tried something on the fly. Same for Usyk when fury was winning 4-6.
The main thing I took from this interview is what an absolute credit to Boxing Oleksandr Usyk really is. Refreshing to see class and honour finally restored to the heavyweight championship.
