Lol at the Fury fans mimicking their ogre idol in every way, absolutely hilarious. For two years, Fury has been spewing this garbage about "middleweight" and "midget" every time Usyk's name came up. At the presser, he parroted the same nonsense. Usyk countered with "Yeah, I little man." That’s when it dawned on Fury’s peanut sized brain: "Oh s**t, if I beat him, people will say 'big deal, he just beat a middleweight.' Worse, if he beats me, people will say 'a middleweight beat him, he's done'." Fury instantly backpedaled like the coward that he is, saying "No, you're not that little. You're about average size for a heavyweight. 6'3", 16 stone. That's about how big they come usually—perfect size, perfect size." One little line from Usyk, and two years of Fury’s trash talk was turned around, exposing the fat clown for the hypocrite he is. Now it's you Furyettes crawling out with the pathetic "Fury wasn’t that much heavier and doesn’t look that much taller" drivel. What’s the matter, kids? What happened with all that chest-thumping about "Fury is too big, too strong, there are weight classes for a reason"? Where’s all that middleweight talk now that your disgusting fat blob got beat the s**t out of him?
The hilarious part of is is that a number of us are on record telling them that the size would present very little problem to Usyk who would overcome it with volume, southpaw technical perfection, and experience fighting scores of guys of similar size in the amateurs and semi-pros. They just didn't want to hear is and chose to believe that the bloated gypsy liquor sponge would overcome all since he is a "behemoth."
Oh, trust me, I know. Whenever I pointed out how Usyk dealt with guys like Fa, Joyce, Modugno, Joshua or Dubois to showcase how silly it is to overstate the size difference between him and Fury, the answer was "Fury is no Fa, Joyce, Modugno, Joshua or Dubois". Always with this casual and shallow "Fury is no (insert any bigger opponent Usyk has ever faced)". Well, apparently, they were right. Fury is no Fa, Joyce, Modugno, Joshua or Dubois indeed as Usyk hurt him much worse than any of those guys
I agree with what you wrote, but I seem to recall the Joshua fight was more to do with a discrepancy between the clock on the TV and the official timer. From what I remember, at the start of the 12th the referee called time in. But the fighters were still faffing about in their corners. The referee got them in the middle and indicated to start fighting a second time, and that was when the TV clock began from. So if you counted from the initial time in, the round finished correctly.But if you went off the TV clock, it looked like they ended the round early with Joshua in trouble.
It was a 12 round decision. There were 12 full 3-minute rounds boxed. With 1 minute rest between rounds. And 3 judges scored all 12 rounds. They announced the decision. Usyk winner on a split decision. You think that's all a delusion??
Well Usyks approach resulted in him finishing up with the undisputed title in 2 weight classes. Just think he could have been thought of of as a true great in our sport if he was a finisher,.
Not sure what Fury said has to do with the fact that Fury was around 30 pounds heavier and not 70 pounds heavier like what was originally said
