So that would mean Fury would only need to do a little bit better to retain his title. It's hard to imagine he's not capable of that, that being said as of this moment I still favor Usyk.
Agreed, I favor Usyk also. I also think he employs fight management. He knows he doesn't have to win every round, so he doesn't try to. A lot of the ATGs did the same.

Also Fury doesn't do well against smaller, mobile guys as seen with Cunningham, and admitted by Tyson himself.

:TU: I wouldn't be surprised if Usyk put him on the floor at some point.

It would have to be late, after a sustained attack. The shots that have dropped him seem a little more than Uysk throws. :maybe:

Francis has been so classy after too, no screeching about it regardless.

I think Fury's punch resistance is waning and heavyweight Usyk hits as hard as Neven Pajkic and Steve Cunningham. Usyk might not hit hard, but he's accurate. For me, the BIG thing is..... can Fury raise his mental game back to where it needs to be.

I think this is much more likely than people who say he's always been rubbish. He's been brilliant at times, but something really seemed amiss last fight. And might have been so vs Whyte if Whyte had offered anything other than haymakers seen 4 years before being thrown. We'll find out next time he gets hit properly if it is punch resistance decline or a one off.

You'd have been as well writing 'I am massively butthurt and have been crying non-stop since Saturday night and hiding from the forum in shame :cry: '

Poor little Doofy. There, there, there, everything's going to be OK...maybe...or maybe not.....

Is he still in his dark room? Has he lost the key and now accidentally locked in? Will he eventually emerge with a lion's mane and deep roar? Fury's bois need to zero in on this now!
this one was one of my faves. redback rasta randomly posting comments robert garcia made months ago, mistakenly thinking it was aj who made them, them bitching at AJ for being disrespectful to garcia with the comments garcia actually made himself. so f@cking eager to get at joshua :lol:

“When you’re with a fighter everything is going well then at the end something goes wrong and the first one to blame is the trainer.”

“The way it was going, the people involved, things they were doing to prepare for a fight, things were going on in training camp I would just sit and laugh by myself.

I told the management team can you just please fly me home I’m not going to be part of this, they convinced me to stay, change things around, which I did – I changed things around and we ended up doing good.

But one week into camp I was ready to leave camp so if that was the case [that they weren’t happy with me] they should have sent me home when I wanted to go.”

Comment : Is this guy ever going to take responsibility for his failures? I doubt it.
Lol. Both at it now.
I'm going to change my username to Nostrildamnus :bow:

Why isn't there an actual date? What if Fury gets injured between now and February and the fight slips past Riyahd season?

I know a few people who were looking forward to this fight. :verysad:
Any word if Usyk will sue Fury? I can't imagine he'd stoop to that level.

Might need to confirm Tyson's annual family holiday to Tenerife first.

Strange that, Fury himself said he didn't have any cuts and took his cap off to prove it.

I can’t see Fury being on a strict diet over the Christmas period. He loves his cake! I think as per usual the Usyk stuff is make believe press content to stay relevant.

He isn't going to duck him. Everything is proceeding perfectly :TU: . My only lament is that Joshua Wilder might get cast aside now for either man vs Ngannou. :-x :lol:

I thought this had to be on Dec 23rd as it had to tie in with the final of the FIFA Club Cup Final the day before ? I wonder if the Saudi's will get fed up with Fury mucking them around and want other fights ?

I will accept AJ - Wilder in on the 23rd December and Fury-Usyk in February.

Ngannou fights both winners on the same night in April!
