His balance was perfect. A little flat footed but so are all 250+ pound boxers, excluding Fury although that has changed now he's slowed a little.
The truth of the matter is nobody knows who is going to win and that's why we are all so excited And it isn't costing us $99 PPV! All hail king turkey The worst part is 0 atmosphere but I'm looking forward to having such a high level bout where we can hear every punch land and even them talking to each other which no doubt Fury & Alex will do. Good old natter and a cup of tea mid round.
Yeah let the better man win and with no controversy. There is no need for more talk, we will find out after a month. I'm taking a break from the forum till the fight. Hope both fighters get it out of their camp uninjured and in perfect shape. See you guys, all the best.
I would wish you all the best brother, but you ain't going anywhere. You will remain in the cess pit with the rest of us lol
Usyk might not stand up again from the shot that knocked fury down . Ngannou has twice the punching power of usyk and twice the size of balls .
Yes, because Fury is very well known to be iron chinned, right? Fury always gets up, but he always goes down. Probably not even himself can remember how many times in his career he has gone to the canvas. Usyk would never be hit by that punch, to start with. And the only reason why Fury got hit is because he was acting like an idiot. Gnannou's hook connects because Fury's right hand is not aiming to gannou's head, but to his chest (totally unnecessary, since gnannou's head movement is totally and completely inexistent. Most static head I've ever watched). Go and rewatch it. If you rewatch it, you can also count how many punches gannnou threw to Fury's head since Fury went down until the end of the round. Spoiler: ZERO, everything he threw was only ONE jab to fury's body, that's all, one single jab to the body, the weirdest behaviour I can remember after a KD. A rigged fight is rigged, and Fury looked like crap even in a rigged fight vs a debutant.
His balance was so perfect that when he moved backwards he leaped. That's how "perfect" his balance is. "A little flat footed" is an euphemism. That guy can't box for ****.
Nice video @Rumsfeld! I don’t know who is going to win. But at this point I feel like I need to rally behind my favorite fighter no matter what. Like those Barbarians in the opening scene of Rome or the 300. Fury W TKO6
Agree. Fury seems like one of those guys who often struggles against mediocre opponents (Ngannou, Wallin), but rises to the challenge against opponents he perceives as having a chance to beat him (Wlad, Wilder, Usyk).
Excellent analysis. Thanks Rum. Based on last outings, I think Usyk is ahead of the game. I think Fury is receiving too much benefit of the doubt in respect of his own last outing. To soften the complexion of his last fight he is being afforded to have been 1) well out of condition and 2) to have faced an Ngannou who well exceeded expectations. Even a Fury in half decent shape was projected to easily have the skills to outbox and stop the debutant. Primarily and most significantly, Ngannou’s own size and strength neutralised the advantages that Fury usually enjoys via his leaning, mauling tactics to stifle/tire his opponent. Just as importantly, those spoiling tactics also normally allow Fury to periodically rest during a fight - a luxury he was denied against Francis. So, Fury was left to box it out, show off his skills - but the skills weren’t sufficient and Fury’s fuel tank was being more heavily tapped at the same time. Ngannou has power of course but did that specific left to the side of Fury’s head necessarily warrant a KD? Has Fury’s resilience possibly deteriorated - a fact perhaps overly masked by Ngannou’s reputable power? Fury was quite hurt and stunned by the punch but, yet again, he was inexplicably allowed a full 23 seconds after the KD to recover. Ngannou did fight better than most anticipated but I think the degree of his performance absolute is being somewhat exaggerated by some, serving to mask the deficiencies in Fury’s own game. Francis was exhausted also, likely more so, his output was inhibited - and he had every reason to be limited in those regards in his first pro outing. Just as well for Fury that Francis couldn’t muster a more consistent offence than he did display in the fight - but he still gave Fury big problems. Perhaps a misleading pointer is the perception that Usyk can’t hurt Fury - I think he can, via punches landed in bunches and that he will also likely set out to pick his moments and punch harder in this fight at any rate. Dubois isn’t the most resilient guy around but I believe Usyk would’ve still gained a measure of confidence from the decisive manner (particularly post low blow) in which he walked Dubois down and ended the fight - and Dubois was throwing low shots not only before but also after Usyk’s drop to the canvas - but Olek fought through it. I’ve got Usyk but how the ref chooses to regulate this fight could have no small impact on its complexion and outcome.
Lol people said the exact same thing before the Fury fight, in fact they said Fury was much better and more skilled than AJ. To say a man who arguably beat the top HW of his era in his first pro fight can't box is ridiculous. Ngannou actually showed about 10x times the boxing IQ than you'd typically see from Deontay Wilder.
