Fury’s game plan was fine. He got a little tired and a little winded from the pressure and got caught by a great left hand, causing him to lose the round 10-8, and forcing him to give up the following round to recover. It happens when you face an elite opponent sometimes. But Fury was right there to win this fight he only lost by a round or two. In fact after the 7th I thought the fight might be his. Fury showed the most he has since Wilder 2 - 4 years ago. Great fight from both men.
Fury fought the fight Usyk allowed him to fight. He needed to use the jab more and move. But, Usyk successfully nullified Fury’s reach advantage getting inside and doing damage.
Rewatch fight 1. Fury was done by the 7th. round. This was the beginning of the end for Fury. People don't know what their watching. Usyk dominates round 7 and swing the fight. Fury was so much done after Round 6, which was his best round, it's unreal. Fury is also going to becoming worst and worst, as he will soon hit 36.
Usyk has a great engine, it reminds me of when Pacquiao went to 147 lbs and overwhelmed his heavier, stronger opponents with sheer volume and speed. I do think Fury can beat Usyk in a rematch though. Fury had Usyk stunned, broke his jaw, didn't capitalise. If he had pressed the action and been in a bit better condition I think Usyk would have been stopped in the mid rounds.
Muhahhahahah. You were saying the same thing before the first fight. And Usyk jaw ain't broken, it's nothing wrong with it, so nice try, this lie started from Frank Warren, and Fury fans now try to spread it. But your boy gets beaten and stopped in the 9th. round, then referee saved his **** and the WBC judge did what he was paid to do. This was 118-110 fight all over. Fury gets dominated
He didn't break his jaw. Krassyuk confirmed it was a bit bruised; they went to the hospital, but Usyk didn't even receive treatment as it is something that will heal on its own in a week or so. Regarding Fury's chances with the "If he had pressed the action" argument – that's not how boxing, or one-on-one sports in general, work. What you do during a match is, in most cases, very much affected by the other guy. I like watching tennis too, and I remember the 2015 Roland Garros final between Djokovic and Wawrinka. Wawrinka was insane that day, painting the lines with such firepower that every time he hit the ball, it sounded like a gunshot on both wings – as the fastest and strongest one-handed backhand player in history, he practically played with two forehands. I mean, that backhand was like a rocket launcher. Wawrinka went on to win the match in dominant fashion, and I remember how Djokovic fans at the time kept talking about how Djokovic wasn't pressing the action enough, next time he should be more aggressive, he should have done this and that. The thing is, he wasn't allowed to because he was blasted off the court with such firepower and precision that he simply couldn't respond. There was no way for him to force his will and game on Wawrinka because Wawrinka was simply too much for him, and he kept pushing him back and out wide with aggressive, fast shots accurately placed on the lines. It was like watching a video game or something, absolutely unreal how he blasted the world no. 1 Djokovic off the court that day. It's the same with what you say now. Fury would have pressed the action if he could have. Remember the first two rounds, how aggressive Usyk was, constantly on the front foot, constantly backing Fury into the corners. He landed several power shots on Fury's head, and while Fury did his usual 'I'm showboating so the judges and the crowd will love it and think I'm this confident guy totally in control of the match while I just really need a breather and think things through,' trust me, he felt those and didn't like them. From the very first seconds, Usyk gained Fury's respect with his power and hand speed. Listen to how the commentators (useless casuals) were baffled around the 5th and 6th. Fury was seemingly in total control in those two rounds, and still, as the commentators mentioned, he wasn't pushing the action, and they wondered why he didn't, what's wrong with him, what's his plan yada yada. There was no plan. He simply was very wary of Usyk's countering, speed, and power. It always would have been the easiest and fastest way for Fury to win this match if he could just bully Usyk around. But he didn't because he simply couldn't. There was nothing wrong with him, there was no game plan, he didn't wait for anything. He just couldn't do it because Usyk didn't let him do it. Just watch how even in those rounds, Usyk is the one fighting on the front foot. He bullied the bully because he is faster and outlanded Fury, and that makes your opponent careful and second-guessing whether and when he should attack you.
"You were saying the same thing before the first fight." He didn't get an MRI for nothing, could be a hairline fracture. What first fight lordluscious? The corner/ropes literally held his body up after taking an absolute hammering and the ref stood there and let it happen, how did the ref save him? It was similar to when Leonard knocked down Hearns in round 13 of their first bout, the ropes were holding Hearns up, the ref gave a standing 8 count. I actually haven't scored the fight properly yet, I don't think the Fury won the fight though, at best 7-5 in favour of Usyk with the knockdown.
Fury fought the best fight he could. There are always things you could have done differently, but there's no one perfect way to fight, and every choice you make carries its own attendant risks. Come forward more? Might have netted him some success but might have left him open as well. Try to rough Usyk up in the clinch? He tried, but Usyk was ready for him, and any extra energy Fury put into muscling Usyk around would have left him more vulnerable down the stretch. As much as I hate Fury as a person I was really impressed by how much he made Usyk work for the win. There were moments in the middle rounds where I was getting really nervous that Fury had started to figure him out. But ultimately Usyk was just the better and more adaptive man, and I don't think any tweaks or changes to Fury's approach wouldn't have been overcome.
Learn how things work first, then talk. Every fighter ongoing scans and medical check after a fight. Krassyuk already explained it. Usyk felt something, on his cheeck, not on his jaw. And the Saudi, which are somehow new to Boxing, decide to check him fully. And the check comes out that he have nothing. Neither broken, neither fractured nothing. Krassyuk said that it was essentially bruised and will heal on itself for a week. No injury for Usyk. So again check your facts before spreading lies. As far as the clear KO. How the referee saved your boy? Simple. Just use your brain. He is paid off, so he was trying to save Fury from receiving a KD, which is a 10-8 on the scorecard. That's how he was saving Fury. And if he was to call the first KD, when Fury first fell to the ropes, there was plenty of time for Usyk to finish him off after, as if he was to interfere after it was either a stoppage or another KD, which was 10-7. Also how did he help him further? By giving him 20 second count, when Fury was clearly finish and couldn't defend himself. When the bell is coming is irrelevant, and this ain't referee job. If the fight can't continue fighting even if there is 1 second left, you should stop the fight. Andhe gave Fury 20+ seconds on 8 second count. This is what everyone on the media is saying currently. Your boy get beaten and lost 10-2, 9-3 at best. Destroyed and annihilated. Keep dreaming about the rematch.
