Any training footage of Fury or Usyk?

Fury was too light last fight, for me he looked overtrained which shocked me because I thought uysk would be the one overtraining.

It was obvious they had aimed to peak for the first fight then the cut happened and because it wasn't something he couldn't train with they carried on.

The question is whether a heavier fury can still have the output whilst having more weight behind his punches to hurt/slow uysk more.

Most important part for me is seeing a more focused fury in the buildup this week and fight night rather than a fury who was obviously off his game all fight week.

 

Usyk always comes in in shape tho. Same weight.

 

It's clearly not his optimal weight, that would be cruiserweight.

I thought Fury wasn’t in such great shape for the originally appointed match.

If the vid they circulated purporting to be the moment Fury copped the cut, he didn’t appear in any great shape.

It seems Fury was “lucky” when the fight was postponed - since it allowed him to come into the rescheduled fight in the best shape he has seen for a long while.

If anyone suffered for the postponement, it was Usyk who always comes in to land in perfect shape in deference to the prearranged fight date.

So obviously, much tougher on Usyk than it was for Fury who, at the time of the postponement, also didn’t appear too unhappy at all - as opposed to Usyk’s clearly disappointed reaction.

 

He grew into the full blown heavyweight imo. But he did say he needs to eat a lot.

 

That's not recent I don't think, I believe he's spouting a buzz cut.

 

I disagree. Fury looked smaller/lighter but we know that's not him in great shape. They are quite open about that but it's not just physically fury wasn't at his best he certainly wasn't mentally.

Either way we are looking ahead to a barnstormer with nothing fighters coming in peak!

Can't wait for this week.

 

The cut impacted how Fury could spar for the rescheduled date…

 

Fair to disagree civilly but, again, I will say he was in the best shape he’s been in for a long time - just too many excuses for Fury.

I also made the point that he didn’t appear to be in good shape just prior to the cut - so if the orig. schedule date when through - what then if Fury lost? Likely the excuse would’ve been he was too fat.

 

Did anyone suspect or deduce that was the case (limited sparring) prior to Fury claiming same later this year - after he originally claimed that he had a perfect camp?

Fury also mentioned issues at home some months after the fight - but of course he was mindful to broadly state that he wasn’t making excuses - but yeah, he was actually trying to put forward more excuses atop those he’d already rolled out.

 

There is a very disturbing video up of Turkyi prank-calling Usyk and calling him a "freak" and telling him that Fury is going to knock him out with Fury on the other line.

First of all, I posted it and it was taken down. I AM NOT ARGUING WITH MODERATORS DECISIONS and will not re-post it here, but I can't believe that it is against any rule to let people know that they should seek this video out for themselves and watch it to draw their own conclusions.

My feeling after watching this is that Usyk will have to get the stoppage to win.
