    Might succeed the first time, the second time he’ll be wondering why he’s dancing around the ring

    In varying measures Fury did try a lot of things that some people are claiming he didn’t attempt in the first fight but should now execute in the rematch.

    Treating fight 1 Fury as if he was shadow boxing in a vacuum, in the ring all on his own, fails to recognise the all important action/reaction dynamic of the fight - and it especially ignores the adaptive application of Usyk’s notable boxing IQ.

    Yep Fury even said at the face off that if it was just as simple as using his size to beat Usyk then he and AJ would’ve just done that. Fury is pretty much going to have to use the same game plan as last time.

    Usyk is happy to let people believe he's weak to the body. He's not only a master boxer he's a master in the mind games dept aswell. Fury hit Usyk with some great shots to the body and Usyk barely batted an eyelid.

    When you think about it.

    Only difference is Fury is a little tougher naturally bigger and dimensionally harder to reach so Usyk has to drag it out late. Also Usyk will take less punishment to close that distance because he can do it in a technically safe manner most of the time.

    As comparisons go I think this one is far away from reality; unless we are comparing Fury's chin to Hearn's.

    Hearns knew his fight was keep it long and snipe moving but couldn't really execute it as he tired quickly hurt Hagler early. Fury executed for the full fight distance but tired by mid ifght which left him much more vulnerable again hurting Usyk before Usyk hurt him. Usyk knew his fight was keep coming forward not allowing Fury defensive space to breathe and risking quite a lot at times to close it. Very Hagler Hearns to me just more refined.

    I see it as a non condensed version of Hagler Hearns.

    Hearns had single punch KO power and an ATG jab Fury has neither.

    Hagler was a harder hitter than Usyk and was also a master switch hitter.

    There's no comparison at all their styles are completely different.

    Single punch power and an ATG jab count for nothing if once you're tired after being pressed and wobbled it all falls apart and you're unable to move away from a mauler. Usyk in this case is the mauler attrition fighter (Hagler) trying to attrition Fury (Hearns) who himself can be an attrition fighter but would rather box Usyk long for the distance which evidently is quite hard to do especially if you get sloppy.

    I'm just seeing the similarities doesn't have to be nail on.

    Completely different fights, the first three rounds of Usyk v Fury was nothing like the war in terms of drama and Hearns P4P was a far more dangerous puncher than Fury while Hagler had more power than Usyk and was simply a better fighter all around, no idea what you`re talking about at all.

    Fury doesn`t have one punch power aside from stopping Whyte his KO ratio is nothing like Tommy`s was.

    Usyk is not more refined than Hagler who had a better jab than Usyk and Fury.
