That's fans like you, all while sucking on his man baps
Are Mickey1975 and Redback Rasta the same person?! You were quoting Rasta but Mickey’s name popped up.
It's the alt personality he's taken on to help whilst working nighshift, an Aussie Rasta, Mickey Bickle.

"It’s a long hustle, but it keeps me real busy. I can take in three, three-fifty a week. Sometimes even more when I do it off the meter. All the animals come out at night – boxing promoters, Mercedes drivers, marijuana pushers, junkies, sick, venal. Someday, a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets.”
Mickey is playing the long game then.
Another alter ego.
Fooling no-one.
I wonder if Doofy has one too?
Can you guess who he is yet?

Fury seemed a bit initimidated in the staredown, it's those crazy Usyk eyes I tell ya :o , they caused Joshua to have tears in his eyes in their previous staredowns.

Fury seemed a bit more relaxed once his crazed character persona was put to rest. He says and realises it's a tough fight.

As it stands, Usyk is he ands down winning the pre-fight battle.
:yay: :yay: :yay: :yay: :yay: :yay: :yay:
Fury trying to intimidate him was embarrassing, Usyk is more scared of his Mrs.
i was more amused by the idea that (1) the pre-fight can be 'won' and/or (2) it means anything at all

Is Mickey Taxi Driver Rasta?
Jeez Louise!!!

So many Fury nut huggers changing names.
Mind you, I don’t blame them .
He’s an embarrassment to Boxing(after Francis no words).
Boxing is taught to youngsters as a discipline. FAIL
World Champion a role model. FAIL
Talk bollox and entertain the masses FAIL
Talk bollox and entertain a few wallies? Yep PASS

It never fails to amaze me that grown men (I’m assuming) get taken in by this gurning chav.
He beats Usyk ok. He’ll have pulled off a Houdini.
Lennox would have annihilated this pr@t.
So would have Bowe, proper Tyson, Vit, a younger Wlad and pretty much anyone in the top 50 all time
Jeez. Ernie Shavers has Fury for breakfast!
ATG? And he still getting paid for this?
We all paying for his habit ffs!!

Because it was in the middle east, Had no Americans of note and was perceived at a mismatch. Plus it wasn’t confirmed as a pro sanctioned fight until way too late.

But I agree that people over estimate fury’s star power…

That's what they did last time out and that didn't work out too well, now did it.

It has worked very nicely for him across a 15 year long career in which he has logged 34-0-1 and won numerous world titles. Fury is not going to suddenly turn up looking like Rudolf Nureyev for Usyk when size and strength will be amongst his major advantages.

Tactics wise Fury will have a lot for success in close against Usyk than he did against the UFC guy

Usyk and Ngannou could hardly be more different opponents.

Ack.
One's a former European, World and Olympic amateur boxing champion who then went on to become unified undisputed World Cruiserweight Champion, before moving up and becoming unified Heavyweight World Champion.

The other's an MMA Heavyweight Champion who now has a 0-1 boxing record.

That they are the only differences you can identify says a lot :lol:

Particularly in the context of the immediate discussion you just bought into regarding Fury's weight :OhYes:

Definitely. Parker may win every round until he is KOed.

if Usyk was blowing out of his arse in the later rounds of the Joshua fights (which he was) he could be in a world of trouble if Fury is anywhere near match fit. Fury TKO 10 for me. :TU:

i didnt think that at all. between the 2 fights he also won the final three rounds on all the cards. in the first fight he was beating up on joshua and had him in trouble at the bell

conditioning is one of usyk's biggest strengths

Did I say those were the only differences?

If you've actually watched Usyk fight, he doesn't get involved with clinching on the inside fights, the type that Fury tried but failed against Ngannou because of his upper body strength. So if it's not a clinching inside fight, it's a moot point.

You appear to be as triggered as Fury nowadays. Calm down kid. :maybe:
