I find the excuses made for Fury funny—acting as if this were just a sparring session for him; if, by any chance, a less popular fighter had been in Fury's place, everyone would be calling him a bum...
Do you really think Fury was going all out in there? He's clearly just messing around because he could, and I expect AJ to do the same tomorrow too.
Fury looked awful yesterday. Worse than he looked against Makhmudov. He was clearly clowning around, but still, his legs are nowhere near they were even 2 years ago, his punches are not as sharp, not as quick and he got hit with some shots he should have never taken. What's worse, these shots got his attention and made him get on his bicycle for a quick second. If AJ hits him, he's done. What's positive here for Fury, I don't expect AJ to look any good today either. He's probably even more shot than Fury is. It's tragic that "the biggest fight in British boxing history" will basically be a fight between 2 has beens who are nowhere close to being fighters they once were. Shame this didn't happen in 2021.
Fury clearly wasn’t in top shape but he likely used this fight to go through a camp and get some pounds off and rounds in to get acclimated for what comes next with the AJ camp. This was basically a scrimmage for Fury. I wouldn’t look too much into it.
Fury was a disaster, but that’s his story, you can expect anything from him, he put in a disastrous performance against Ngannou, yet a few months later he was beating Usyk. I still see the Gypsy King as the favorite against Joshua.
AJ knocks Fury out. Said this for years. Fury was made out to be better than he was. His best win(s) were against an extremely limited boxer albeit a dangerous one punch machine in Wilder who was rightfully exposed. Credit for that. Szpilka laid out the blue print to defeat Wilder. Fury executed it. There is a reason why Fury keeps retiring. Fear. His ego is fragile. AJ will be bringing that fear unto Fury if they ever meet inside the ring.
How exactly he was "beating Usyk"? He won some rounds, most likely 4, and that's it. Ultimately he was outboxed and took way more punishment.
I didn't see it but Wach has always been tough to get rid of, that's like his only real quality. Like the boxing equivalent of herpes.
