Fury vs Usyk was competitive. Joshua vs Usyk was not. Stop equating them!

    Why it bothers you that much, so that you have to reply ? it's just my opinion and view.

    It's not that serious.

    AJ didn't get KO'd in the ninth.

    Technically neither did Fury, but.....


    The Usyk AJ second fight was much more competitive than last Saturday's affair.



    Other than for the money, Fury would be well advised to avoid AJ.

    I don't think he would last much longer than Ngannou.

    AJ is the second best HW at the moment.

    That's good assessments, but you don't weight the huge age difference. As 3 years difference is huge, especially when we talking from 34 to 37.
    From 30 to 33 is not much of a difference, but from 34 to 37 is HUGE.

    I was not here for 1 day, you ok ? Why do you have that need to stalk some people like that ? Why is it so important to have that in your life ?

    I said in that rounds that he was winning, Fury was dominating Usyk, like nobody before. What's your problem ?

    Er Joshua Usyk definitely was competitive. Joshua has a good case for winning 5 rounds in the second fight.

    That said, Fury made Usyk look helpless in those middle rounds, whereas AJ didn’t produce that same effect at any point. Usyk was hurt over and over by the uppercuts and bodyshots. By Round 6/7 I was questioning whether it was all over for Usyk. Then came the magical round 9 when he pinged Fury all over the place - AJ was never that disastrously hurt nor needed a 20 second count and the bell to save him from posing.

    Elite fighter that is able to compose self and adapt, I thought those bodyshots and lovely quick uppercuts from Fury were going to be Usyks downfall

    AJ fans are hurting inside knowing he can never be half the fighter Fury or Usyk is

    Fury was making Usyk fall short using his feet and lateral movement like nobody has done before then countering. Usyk was left in a daze before he managed to regroup and kindle a fire that rose. AJ is a plodding bum. Footwork makes the dreamwork and only Fury & Usyk has that in abundance at HW.

    LMAO, to anyone that thought those were dominating rnds. Competitive rnds where Fury won.

    I think people are ignoring him. Hats of to you for attempting to respond to a an outlandish claim.

    Where exactly was that domination from Fury in the so call middle round, which was exactly 2 rounds, aka the 5 and the 6th round.
    He landed 4-5 good punches and that was it. He land next to nothing in the other rounds in terms of clean or hard shots.
    He landed 2 big uppercuts and some good body shots and that was it.

    And somehow all the people on here forget that Usyk left is his power hand, and ignore all of his body work, which allows Usyk to tire Fury even more so.

    Show me where exactly was that domination ?

    And again, oh but AJ. AJ fought 34 years old Usyk, Fury fought 37,5 years old with a lot more miles on the clock, as he essentially had 4-5 camps just to fight Fury.
    Huge difference, as Usyk was a lot younger and a lot better for AJ.

    And Usyk stops Fury in the 9th, and everyone knows it. Just like everyone knows that wasn't a close fight.

    Joshua looked like a clueless B-side tuneup. If he didn't have a name no one would remember those fights as anything other than Usyk domination, which it was. Because there's a legion of sad fans who are desperate to legitimize such a limited boxer, they try to redefine the Usyk domination as "competitive". Insane. Go rewatch the fights. Usyk runs at Joshua and starts landing his left and never stops. Joshua never adjusted because he can't, because he's just not that good.

    Fury had a tit for tat affair, adjusted, dominated for a spell, got caught, recovered, pinched another round. The Fury performance is worth 10 of what AJ was able to produce against Usyk.

    Intrigued to see the rematch if Fury keeps fighting.

    Fury looked like he was on his way to winning during the four round stretch. In contrast, Joshua was never ahead of Usyk- crappy judging aside- in 24 rounds. Fury was a tougher fight for Usyk.

    He looked to be too big too good in the rounds 4-6 imo.

    Usyk didn't dominate Joshua either. Lol I don't know what fight you Fury fanboys were watching. Usyk also never hurt Joshua like he hurt Fury.

    Usyk had 1 big round against Fury and the rest of the fight was close. Usyk hurt in the first fight 2 times but besides that it was a boring fight with neither fighter during much. In the first second fight Usyk never hurt Joshua and it was still a close fight. If Joshua would of came in the ring in the 230's his natural weight for both fights he would of done better and possibly beat Usyk and if Ruiz didn't destroy Joshua's confidence level he would of beat Usyk both times.

    AJ didn't get KO'd because Usyk didn't need to step up the pace that much to beat him.

    Usyk was in 3rd gear for AJ. He went into 5th gear to beat Fury because he had to because at one point in the fight, Fury was up on the cards and winning rounds, and Usyk knew it.
