    If it happens, I think much will depend on if Fury is able to lay his body over the back of Usyk over extended periods. If Usyk is somehow able to avoid that, not sure that he won't just get out of the way and catch Fury reaching for that fuzzy navel.

    Only Ricky Hatton’s expert opinion matters.

    i thought that previously, but the last 2 fights for Usyk he’s been quite fortunate as he has come within inches of being stopped to the body (quite literally)
    Vs AJ & now vs Dubois?

    Fury while his legs aren’t what they once were is no AJ or Dubois, he might have enough to get it done against Usyk
    He certainly has the height & reach
    It will be tricky & his biggest test to date for Ukraine’s favorite son.

    Great post.

    The guy is an ornament to the sport. We should be celebrating him instead of trying to take him down all the time.

    It’s disgusting.

    Thanks. Of all the fighters in the world, plenty of whom are scumbags or far worse human beings than Usyk is or could ever be and many of whom in complete contrast to him duck, dodge, cherrypick, refuse to take a fraction of the risks he has, stack the deck like crazy, foul like crazy, refuse to travel, take PEDs, are the beneficiaries of plenty of home cooking, A-side advantage, and controversial decisions going their way etc. these clowns pick Usyk to hate on. That says far more about them than it does him

    Absolutely. It's fine if you are not a fan. But to actually hate on the guy - I mean, that's like a sign of mental and/or moral problems right there. We have a member here who despises Usyk so much that the hate poisoned his brain. And I'm not even exaggerating here - the guy rants on Twitter about how Usyk is a despicable p***y, how all Ukrainian women are worthless b****es, and how people of colour are "scientifically proven to be inferior to whites in all aspects".

    Based on the rules it was low. However 90% of boxers these days wear their shorts too high which creates this kind of confusion. Better enforcement of high shorts would help this.

    Its what they do, they hate on a fighter that they know is really superior to their heroes.Every fight of Usyks reign has been fought in foreign territory for him. He doesn't have a friendly State Commission, Vegas notorious judges & referees watching his back for him. How anyone can be against him defeats me. He is the ultimate fighter in my book !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! USYK !!! USYK !!! USYK!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
