Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury again says Oleksandr Usyk was an easier foe than expected

[Boxviewer]

Lmao Usyk didn’t win 8 rounds, fury controlled and was dominating the early rounds and had Usyk severely hurt before he gassed.

Clowning and showboating didn't mean he's in control in the first 3 rounds, in those rounds Usyk comfortably outscored him. He's trying to manipulate the perception which didn't work bar for his fans and that corrupt judge who scored him favorable at the end. Fury only won rounds 4 - 7 and got saved for a ko by the ref in 9. Usyk was never in any danger throughout the contest. It should have been a KO or UD for Usyk. So, the SD can be seen as a failed attempt to rub Usyk.

Great fight for both , Fury took control and looked to be hitting Usyk at will , Usyk being the great fighter he is turned the tables . This is what a rematch should look like , not some clown who's just hit the deck five times and been brutally KO'd calling for one. These two are still head and shoulders above the rest and anybody that's sane should know from watching the first fight which was razor thin that either one is cable of beating the other....can't wait .!

Tyson Fury has more ability than Oleksandr but Usyk is the better fighter. He is the more skilled and fundamentally sound of the two fighters.

Which is why I am picking him by way of TKO stoppage. Usyk could fight. It doesn’t matter how big Fury is. Skills pay the bills.

I think fury can win rematch. I think usyk does what he does in first fight, and he was able to do it. Fury underperformed, he can do more in rematch.

I won't be surprised if Fury wins this time around.

He had some good rounds in that fight where, at some point, I even thought Fury might be able to stop Usyk later in the fight. Obviously, that never happened and Usyk shifted gears to knock down Fury but it does show that Fury can win rounds. It depends on how conditioned and motivated each fighter is. Usyk's getting advanced in age too and I am not sure how long he can keep up his incredible stamina.

Fury hurt Usyk too.... Way more than anybody else. And he should be the betting odds favorite in the rematch.

You must blow a lot of money ********.

Fury won 3 rounds; 4 if you are generous. That is it. Cut the bull.

It's just Fury hyping himself up and putting in his mind that the first fight was a fluke. He has to. If he truly concedes that Usyk is the better man, it would effect his performance and perhaps he goes back into the same tropes of their first fight that he's the inferior fighter and Usyk walks him.

Fury is the kind of guy who feeds off a loss (or draw) by saying what he needs to hear in his own head almost like an excuse that is just for him and it works for him. He did it with Wilder and it worked great in their rematch.

Fury hurt Usyk too.... Way more than anybody else. And he should be the betting odds favorite in the rematch.

Where and when did he hurt him more than anybody else? In terms of pure physical damage, stylistically 'Derek Chisora may of inflicted the most damage on Oleksandr Uysk more than Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. But overall in my opinion, Anthony Joshua skill for skill combined with damage infliction fought the best fights vs Oleksandr Uysk I & II.

Oleksandr Uysk may have been a bit stunned by Tyson Fury 'But this over exaggeration, that he was hurt real badly is nonsense. There are no highlights from the fight, which show where Uysk was drastically hurt. All the talk and debate after the fight, was how Oleksandr Uysk hurt Tyson Fury in round 9. And even before round 9, surprisingly every single time Uysk whacked Fury? Uncharacteristically, Fury was showing very overt signs of being shook. Long before round 9, Uysk hurt Fury and potentially damaged his nose'.

Both Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua stylistically as Super Heavyweights, are making their fights and battles with Uysk extremely difficult.

Although I rate Oleksandr Uysk extremely highly, he is the most accomplished active fighter in the sport of boxing 'Uysk's wins over both Fury and Joshua are pound for pound, the greatest feats of achievement in the sport of boxing in the last 15 years'.

Note: A great Super Heavyweight fighter, should be able just to stick their jab out against Oleksandr Uysk 'Win the battle of the jabs, and dominate from mid to long range. That will not be easy, because Uysk is a great boxer. But up against a peak Lennox Lewis or Wladimir Kiltschko? I would back Lewis and Kiltschko to eventually win that battle. From this point, Lewis's and Kiltschko's opponents were forced to then try and ether ambush them or apply pressure. Their opponent's would be tied up on the inside, and wrestled to then be pushed off and bombarded from mid to long range'.

What I have just described there was the classical big man style fight 'That Lennox Lewis and The Kiltschko's tactically used in all their most dominant performances'.

During the build up to their first fight, Tyson Fury himself basically describe how easy and straight forward stylistically Oleksandr Usyjk should of been going by the historical evidence of similar encounters in the past fights. 'So therefore I think this kind of talk from Fury, is just maybe a tactic to motivated himself coming into this rematch'.

Tyson Fury has to search for positives somewhere in his performance vs Oleksandr Uysk I or have a perception which highlights the positives even in the moments where Uysk was inflicting damage'.

To conclude: I stated in one of my previous posts, that? I don't believe that Tyson Fury rates Oleksandr Uysk 'Even still after being beaten by him and smashed up in round 9. To be honest, a fighter in Fury's position now should not be too accepting of the loss vs Uysk I. All great competitors in all sports, may acknowledge when they are beaten by their opponent's but? They will very rarely acknowledge and accept when a competitor is truly better than them, that state usually take a series of heavy losses. A points loss, is not enough to confirm to Tyson Fury that Oleksandr Uysk is overall the superior fighter'.

A war is a collection of battles, Oleksandr Uysk has just won one battle vs Tyson Fury I 'But the competitive rivalry and war between both fighters is to be continued. Once again there is too much on the line in this rematch beyond World titles, for this fight between Fury and Uysk to be a skill for skill classical boxing match. I stated this before the first fight, and I believe that will potentially be the situation again'.

Oleksandr Uysk should definitively be the favourite, because Fury has been continually being hurt in all of his recent fights 'Fury arguable has lost his last two fights. Both fights vs Francis Ngannou and Oleksandr Uysk I'.

Tyson Fury could so easily come into this rematch at way over 270 + pounds, effectively Oleksandr Uysk would be fighting a version of Fury he has never quite seen before 'It is those multi-dimensional aspects of Tyson Fury's game, and how on a fight by fight basis he can alter his style and even physique dramatically 'This is why I still give him a chance of winning this rematch' etc.

HE WILL LOOSE. He's not too bright

Wonder if he's bright enough to differentiate between 'Loose' & 'Lose.'
