Fury had a 16 inch cut that forced him to pull out initially so that hampered proceedings, now it should be fully healed. Fury had Usyk hurt in round 6 but didn’t capitalise. Fury was cruising to victory on the cards up until round 9 where Usyk turned it around. Fury was getting complacent as he usually does like against Wilder, this time he won’t make the same mistake. There was NO body work at all. Usyks clear weakness is to the body, like when Dubois dropped him and many other fighters hurt him to the body. Sugar Hill will surely employ Fury to go to the body more. Usyk looked old in that fight, come December 21, he’ll be almost 38.

There was plenty of bodywork when Fury had closed the distance on Usyk. Furys power will always zap from round 6 onwards so no body or headshot from that point onwards is going to fully cripple a man who is almost holyfield level tough. Both looked declining but both showed how great they are taking away Furys horrible 1,2 hands both down which slowed Usyk go almost chin him.
“It was only three months, 12 weeks before, I had a 16-inch cut across my left eye, and that had to heal. I’m not sure how long it takes for a cut to heal. I mean, how long?” Fury quizzed Anthony Crolla for answers.
Fury seemed to be saying he couldnt do any sparring before the fight because of the original cut, which certainly isn't ideal preparation for a fight of that magnitude
Usyk turned the fight around in the 4th or 5th. He made the adjustments way earlier than in the 9th. If Fury fights in a similar manner in the rematch and Usyk is able to adjust earlier then Fury won´t be able to build up an early lead. I think Fury needs a way different gameplan this time around. And he also needs to go to the body a bit more, he had great success with those uppercuts in the first fight.
He did attack the body, but I want to see more of it and to use his weight more to clinch and bully usyk Fury fought too clean last time, as I believe he felt he was cruising before usyk tool it up a gear and started laying it on him after the halfway point Before you aj fanboys cry foul, I suggest you watch how Holyfield and Lewis successfully clinched Tyson to take him out of his rhythm, or watch Ali post exile and of course Wlad Fury should definitely clinch up close and work the body, lean all over him, while at times pawing with his jab to keep distance. Mix it up. Not saying he will win,but I think it's possible if he gets off to a better start and bully the smaller guy
Fury definitely has the ability to win the rematch but so does Usyk. I just hope to see another good fight.
Fury had a 16 inch cut that forced him to pull out initially so that hampered proceedings, now it should be fully healed 1) So a cut prevented him from doing road work and hitting the bag? You've been listening to some rubbish. 2) Fury only came up with this excuse recently 3) Scars don't heal properly at all. His cuts are going to be a problem. Fury had Usyk hurt in round 6 but didn’t capitalise. He wasn't as hurt as all that, and you are making a mistake that you also make later in acting like Fury was somehow the prime driver of the fight. Lots of guys get in a good punch against Usyk, and can't capitalize. ITs because they can't. Fury was cruising to victory on the cards up until round 9 where Usyk turned it around. If the cards were well kept, Fury would have won 4 rounds of that fight. Usyk landed more punches, he landed about 30 more power punches, he dominated punches landed and power punches landed in a majority of rounds, and he scored the knockdown. In no universe was Fury "cruising to victory." Besides...Usyk turned it round. Fury was getting complacent as he usually does like against Wilder, this time he won’t make the same mistake. Fury ran out of gas. A lifetime of PEDs, booze, coke, and obesity has ruined him There was NO body work at all. Usyks clear weakness is to the body, like when Dubois dropped him and many other fighters hurt him to the body. Sugar Hill will surely employ Fury to go to the body more. There was body work, but again, please stop pretending that Fury was the sole agent in this. The narrative going in what that Usyk's body is his weakness...if Fury didn't try to capitalize its because he can't keep up...which he have already seen is true. By the way, the Dubois shot was ruled low. Usyk looked old in that fight, come December 21, he’ll be almost 38. Fury looked older. In fact, he always looks like a lump of **** due to a lifetime of abuse. Fury always improves in rematches Usyk doesn't need rematches to excel. He's always great But yeah, Fury has massacred Derrick Chisora. I'll give him that. Feel free to add any more Usyk SD 12...FACT Next time, Usyk TKO 9, AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.
Yes, Fury will likely win. He is adaptable and can fix what he needs to fix. Once he figured out Wilder it was no contest. Usyk is better than Wilder but not as good as fanboys make him out to be. Further, it to everyone's (including Usyk's) benefit financially if Fury wins and there is a trilogy. I'm really sure there will be one.
Wow. Very reliable source right? Don't believe everything you hear, especially over your own eyes! 2 inch cut. You didn't see it? Or you did, but HE SAID 16 IT MUST BE TRUE!!!11!!
I did not read the first fight at all like this. It was close and competitive, but Usyk upped the pressure late and won without controversy. Fury definitely was never cruising. I don't really understand why people keep saying things like 'Usyk is weak to the body' or Fury needs to big man him. If everyone knew this going into the fight them why didn't Fury do it? Or ANY of Usyks other opponents? It's because it's not so easy to execute. And Fury did do some bodywork - and he still lost. I don't buy at all that he somehow underestimated Usyk. I think Fury was well aware of the threat. And, even if we give him the benefit of the doubt, in fights where he was being complacent he always find a way to win - but he couldn't here. Usyk was too good. I'm not saying Fury can't win. I think he's a live dog, just as I considered him to be going into the first fight. I just don't buy these false narratives which are not an accurate reflection of the fight. oh - and a 16 inch cut to the face is a physical impossibility.
