re: Fury v usyk

It was a competitive fight that I thought Usyk won. It’s funny you mention power because Fury for his size is feather fisted. I thought Fury tried to ‘spar’ him rather than just fight him. Usyk is very gifted and crafty but Fury had the advantage in age, weight, reach, height etc and still lost. I do wonder what this will do to Fury mentally? I watched his post fight press conference and he seemed not too confident and I don’t think a rematch would be any different really. If I’m Fury I come into rematch at 270 and try to bulldoze Usyk in the first 6 or 7 rounds like he did Wilder in the second fight. Yes, I realize Usyk is levels better than the extremely limited Wilder but it’s Fury’s only chance he isn’t going to outbox Usyk.

Usyk and Wilder --both of these fighters didn't go to the body when they had fury hurt????
Andre Ward was one of the best at when he got a fighter in trouble, he would hit the body and then go upside the head and back down to the body

It's simple really Fury is significantly better than Usyk at their best but he dgaf anymore. He's made his money, got his fame and reality show and is just in it for the paychecks now. Not sure if losing reignites that fire but I doubt it.

Very competitive fight that i thought Usyk won 7-5. Usyk out threw, out landed, and had a higher percentage. Very glad to see Usyk get the win for no other reason than he'll fight anybody anywhere (looking at you Canelo) and money doesn't seem to be his motivator. He took a 70-30 split in this fight even though he has the more impressive record and all of the belts except one.
In my opinion most fans don't appreciate the level of skill and determination Usyk has. His skills aren't elite, they're damn near other worldly. If they rematch I don't think the result will be any different, if anything it'll be more sided to Usyk. Fury was WIDE open to the right hook all night because of how lazy he is with his hands. Usyk will take advantage and train for that next time.
But you have to give Fury credit where it's due. He obviously took the fight seriously if for no other reason than the tremendous shape in came in. I honestly think Fury thought the "little man) as he called Usyk couldn't hurt him. I think he figured out by about round 6 he had a fight on his hands.
Fury's recuperative abilities are the best I've ever seen in boxing and it's not close. Wilder had him out, Usyk had him out and he bounced back both times.That's amazing.
Credit to both fighters and I hope we get to see it again.
