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.

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.

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.

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

“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.

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