Fury's done

After watching the fight I definitely think Fury won, yesterday when it was on my stream kept dying. I only gave ngannou 2 rounds 3rd and the 8th but Fury definitely didn't impress.

I think the bottom line is many (Including myself) have underestimated the boxing skills that top MMA fighters have. YES Fury should in all reality have won easily. But I think even Fury himself underestimated him a little bit. And hey, that’s on him!

Many Top level MMA fighters have good boxing. And power in their hands.

6’4 272lbs prior MMA belt holder with known power. Really not too surprising he got caught and dropped in the 3rd. I mean if McGregor put a little more sauce on that uppercut he caught Floyd with, he would’ve dropped him too most likely. Lol It can happen!

Absolute nonsense

Yes but he could be ranked #10 in the WBC ranking.

Time will tell if he didn't take that fight seriously or if there was something fishy about it.

Did he just forget how to fight like he did in the Wilder rematch? He boxed to win on points. Where was the roughhouse tactics , the inside fighting. He just waited out the clock to get the predetermined victory.

Fury has also had issues with alcoholism and obesity as well. The fact that he came back after ballooning up like that and managed to beat Wilder was pretty crazy. I remember everybody here mocking Fury after the Sefer Seferi and Francesco Pianeta fights. And yet he came back to a world class level. But there's no way that you can balloon up to morbid obesity (he was already fat to begin with) and then just slim back down and expect that your body isn't going to take a serious toll from it.

He's learned (or will learn) that having a Dr Eggman-shaped body isn't that great for boxing.

He had talent, but he never had the dedication that you would want from a championship level fighter.

I used to think this, but not any longer. Fury seems like he should be better than what he is, but every time we get a fight he never proves it. I think we've seen the best of what he had to offer and now he might be on the decline.

Has nobody been paying attention to both Fury & Usyk?

Both have been on the slide since 2020.

Fury turning up to fight not throwing a single jab I mean it's ridiculous but it's well known both his elbows are shot. Usyk's right shoulder is shot, you see him in fights stretching it out (both shoulders actually, but he has surgery on his right shoulder, Fury has surgery on only his left elbow but really needs it on his right)

Fury Usyk is about who can turn up on better form, which everyone is going to favour Usyk in that regard and who fights a better gameplan.

Fury has just had his clinching and bullying confidence smashed to ground zero and that's a big part of how he is going to fight Usyk.

All of these guys are just normal men it's us who put them on crazy pedestals then tear them down when they fall below expectations.

Watch Fury & Usyk's last 2 fights.

Then go and watch them 3 years ago then 6 years ago.

Big difference and it's no surprise if you account the wear and tear.

Don’t even use Usyk in the same sentence as that lard ass Fury. Usyk is heads and shoulders better than Fury in all aspects of the sport and life.
