I think the Fury of 5 years ago was a good bit better than this version of Usyk. Of course we’ll never know how they’d compare peak for peak.
I think he’s really going to have his hands full keeping his weight down and head in an ok place post retirement, even in such a dangerous, head...
He’s a 37 year old in a speed/power/agility/endurance individual sport. Of course he’s at least some way past his best.
Lots of reasons but in short: (a) Cruiser is far and away his best/most natural weight, as it is for almost anyone who walks around at much less...
whoever it is should be trained by his father and preferably use the same cutman Tyson had for the Douglas fight. Tyson's general level of...
yes in the sense that he was better than the two guys who beat him but, well, both were decent and as we know the best fighter doesn't *always*...
he did look genuinely dangerous in the 'fight' against Fraudley. even accepting that much of the danger was likely to Wilder himself, the ref, or...
he's now 38 years old, i.e. hopelessly past his best as an athlete, for context Usain Bolt is 37 and retired in 2017. he's not nearly the worst...
yeah. this combined with the very low frequency of fights means that guys are wasting away their athletic primes inactive one way or another or...
I can just about understand the decision, Ngannou landed too few shots, but, still, I struggle to accept it.
Fury won the 9th plainly enough and will win the 10th but I'm really not sure he won *four* other rounds?
in some ways the knockdown was understandable, it can happen to anyone, but it happened plenty early enough for Fury to very comfortably outpoint...
haha.
I suppose it's hardly surprising that Fury can't use his weight and strength to push Francis around, the guy is huge.
I'm not sure FN is going to be throwing all that many more hard shots now, not a guy of that size (and age).
