Usyk v Düsseldorf Fury

Versus the Fury who stands out of reach and makes faces?? Throws about nine punches a round? lmfao.

 

39 years and about 8 months.

 

He didn't do anything that fight. Luckily he fought an old, shot fighter.

 

Theres not a version of Fury that beats any version of Usyk.

 

Or live longer to be neither

 

You either die a Fury or live long enough to see yourself become a Partridge.

 

Closer

Wins more rounds

7-5 Usyk

Warrants a rematch

 

Unlike the phony foul-mouthed "Belly", Usyk is a good man and a real Christian and won through his faith in God.

 

The difference in foot speed & mobility between 2015 vs 2024 fury is huge.

If i had to bet on any version of fury to beat usyk, it would be the pre-drug binge one from late 2014–15

 

You either die in Dusseldorf or live long enough to get dropped by Ngannou

 

It shouldn't have been a split decision, though.

Fury did well in a number of rounds, but that objectively should have been a clear UD - there simply isn't a case backed by evidence for giving Fury enough rounds to win.

The question is... Was younger Fury capable of winning more rounds?
Sure, he was a bit quicker and (on his good days) a bit harder to hit - but he was also less capable of generating power behind his punches (which did help at times against Usyk) and heavily dependent on clinching against Wlad, which just didn't work against Usyk.

Does that Fury do better? A bit in some ways and a bit worse in some ways, I think... Does that turn what should've been a UD into going the other way? Not for me.

 

A younger fresher Fury got heavily dropped by Cunningham and was behind on points up until the stoppage.

A younger fresher Fury almost lost to Wallin.
