This content is protected Is a man who hasn't had an off night in years at an advanced age off his PED cycle not allowed to look poor? Usyk like Fury are not punchers. They are high intelligence fighters who operate on skill differences not physicality to the most extent, both overestimated Their physicality against a kickboxer and MMA fighter or more so underestimated what would come at them and that's what you get. Yet again we see how risky it is to mess around in this sport, Floyd is wise to it which is why he fights small Japanese children in exhibitions and dodged a Pacquiao exhibition despite being broke.
What we saw, apart from a non motivated Usyk, was an outstanding tactical game plan from Peter Fury, the first time I've ever seen Usyks strengths be completely negated by an opponents footwork, Peter Fury made Usyk circle the way he didn't want too the entire fight. Does slightly make you think what if The Peter Fury who completely negated Vladimir Klitschko had trained Tyson Fury to fight Usyk too.
Peter would have slapped Tyson for messing around in rd1 and forced him to win rd2. Would have been lateral movement all night also which Sugar hill doesn't teach. Sugar hill teaches straight lines which is awful half the time. Fury still relies on a lot of Peter's teachings especially when things get tough...there is no question that Hughie and Peter forged Fury into a feasible weapon albeit a little too defensive.
You unironically have people on here that think a guy raised in the Eastern bloc amateur system, who has trained around some of the most notorious sports doping systems in the world and competed with / against them, has never touched a PED in his 20+ years boxing career simply because they like his personality. That sports documentary Icarus should be required watching for sports fans. Highly likely Usyk microdoses EPO given how easy it is to get away with. All your favourites use PEDs at some point.
We’ve all forgot the monumental task it was to take down the klitschkos. P Fury managed it not only in the ring with his fighter but also outsmarted the entire K2 team pre-fight when he sussed out the dodgy ring. No mainstream education but still far cleverer than most
Wouldn’t matter IMO, the old post lay off Fury would still lose to Usyk. The younger in shape Fury might be different.
He DESERVES all the criticism his performance is getting!!! Bringing that fud Fury into the conversation is null and void as he has had too many off nights to mention
One of the best gas tanks whilst also bulking up 15lbs in weight and still keeping his super high output into his mid to late 30s. Honestly surprises me anyone thinks he's 100% natural.
