Fury v Usyk 2

[Niigata Jack]

Doesn't matter how close it was. Usyk won that hands down. Fury v Joshua now looks nailed on as both are finished, and be 1 last payday as both have nowhere to go.

I'd pick Fury all day for that one, although the first 3 rounds will be interesting Fury gets through that and its a late stoppage for me, all depends on how Fury copes with last nights defeat though.

Given Joshua’s post match rant, Fury’s Cefn-Coed-esque persona and Dubois’ stunt last night, Usyk must think we’re a nation of absolute idiots.

Fury is a lot of things, making light of someone's mental health isn't a good look.

Saw a tweet comparing Dubois’ entrance into the ring with Mr Blobby’s entrance onto the set of This Morning

The fella is so socially awkward.

He wouldn't be far wrong in some cases fair play.

To be fair we voted for Brexit and then the Tories for 14 years and four elections. He’s not far wrong.

Fury was well aware of the fact that Usyk could hurt him. It was obvious from bell one. He suffered from PTSD. Fury is no idiot, and as much as he tries to act unhinged and fearless - as soon as the fists touched his face and the left hand repeatedly pushed in his ribs -the first fight came rushing back to him, and he found he had no answer.

He didn't do the right things in training that would allow him to beat Usyk.

In order to catch Usyk, you have to catch him within an exchange. You can't punch and then let him punch. You can't let him punch and expect a chance to hit him afterward. He's a different pedigree. He changes angles. He gets up on his toes and bounces - this allows him to control the timing of the fight.

The fight happens when Usyk allows it to happen. Fury was flat footed the whole night. The only time he could score was when Usyk allowed him to score.

Fury couldn't see through the pain. He couldn't see through the discomfort. Maybe Usyk isn't able to either, but it didn't matter because he is so incredibly skilled. The fight didn't have to go there, and he didn't let it go there.

The fight itself was good. I liked the drama, but it is a 1 watch fight. I'm not going to see anything the second time that i didn't see the first time around.

I really like Usyk - his skill ability, his mental approach to the fight, his heart, his character, and his respect for the sport.

Skill wins out.
