    Most likely, yes.

    That doesn't necessarily mean it wouldn't be a disappointment... Or that it couldn't possibly go the other way, it's just not looking super likely right now.

    And twice and hittable with half the chin. Are we talking about the 2015 version of Fury or 2024? The past it slob who spent years coked out of his mind?

    Look at Daniels foot placement and over extension lol. That's your example of HW evolving since the 70s? Laughable. Technically he is awful.

    Usyk beats a robotic stiff Euro-level Dubois by stoppage (again) and suddenly people are saying he's the HW GOAT. I know the adrenaline is still pumping after what was a highlight reel KO, but let's calm down, shall we?

    Dubois should give Joshua or Hrgovic a rematch to try to get his act together again...

    people dont see those things. its all chinese math to them. i could tell from the second rd he was going to get clipped. its impossible for an elite boxer not to see the holes in technique and eventually dig one in at the right time.

    With that bring true I still give Usyk credit for beating a tough strong confident DD who was on a tear. He put on a clinic BUT you still need to keep things in perspective a bit.

    Did you catch Fury on Kiss-cam? How embarrassing.

    Boy, I bet you’re really gonna give it to him when he gets back home…with a good ass pegging. :lol:

    He won’t sniff a title as long as Usyk is around

    of course. this was a legit defense of his titles. and it does enhance his legacy. but the reality is that an elite world champ is suppose to dispose of fighters fighting at the level duboise fought at tonight. he has obvious observable limitations.

    As terrible as Bakole's gas tank has been lately, I highly doubt it would go the other way.
