Fury's really not handling the loss well

As others have said us English people like a drink.

Hopefully just letting loose for a bit before going back to training camp.

everyone who fights Usyk comes out with the same kind of story, they dont know what they could have done better

i dont know if its a serious lack of amatuer competition for a lot of these fighters but they dont seem to be able to handle his slight movements, always keeping them on their toes and not knowing when the next punch may come from, its very very clever and you can see it happening, just nobody has managed to solve the riddle yet

we've seen him hurt a few times from body shots and head shots, but the fella seems to recover very quickly and fires back which puts people on the back foot right away, people dont seem to want to commit against him, so he must hit harder than people give him credit for

he is a very interesting riddle is Mr Usyk, he never looks amazing(or he hasnt at HW at least), yet nobody can figure him out

What's interesting to me is that he's mostly fought on the back foot until his last couple fights. Now he's walking his opponents down round after round despite being much smaller and not being considered a puncher. Maybe he does hit harder than he's been given credit for but he's also good at surprising guys with shots. His sharp left hand is mainly what gets his opponents' respect. That's what does the majority of the damage but he also has a stiff swivel jab. He put Dubois down with that shot.

I think these guys are hesitant to fully commit against him because he's so quick and accurate. They're concerned about getting countered. He'll counter with a big single shot or in combination like the one that initially hurt Fury in the 9th. I think Fury needs to come forward and apply educated pressure in the rematch (if it happens). Cut the ring and make it dirty & rough. He just has to be wary of what's coming back so that he doesn't walk onto shots.

I'm not sure he can do that for 12 rounds against Usyk, and if it doesnt work he will be knackered

I remember in the first Usyk-Joshua fight he(Usyk) came out and basically hit him with a big left hand right off the bat, and Joshua looked shocked

He probably couldn't do it for that long but he tried being on the back foot most of the fight last time and Usyk was able to wear him down with his pressure. Fury can't handle the pace he puts on. I recall that big left hand landing against AJ early in the first fight. It set the tone. Got his respect immediately.
 
Bro he's FINE. I don't understand the problem. If he loses the rematch to Usyk I'm sure you guys will tear him to shreds so let the guy have some fun already. Isn't that what you all want? To watch a man ruin his life? And then you can discredit him and make yourselves feel nice because you were right.

He certainly doesn't look fine. Why would we tear him to shreds for losing the rematch? He already lost to Usyk once. I don't see anyone tearing him to shreds over it. Some might point out what he said before the fight but that's because he talked a load of shit for 2 years and couldn't back it up.

If he can't recover from this, can't pull himself together, he won't be champion again and it will be sad af. All credit to Usyk for being the better smaller man. I just hope Fury's fairy godmother is able to whip his ass into shape because I honestly believe he could beat usyk. maybe we get a rubbermatch

I think he could beat Usyk but he has to have the right tactics and improved conditioning. If he's lacking either of these things then he'll lose again.

Maybe its because i come from a crossover community -grapplers and boxers. theres always been kind of a running myth (from MMA/Grapplers) that any Blue Belt (2nd tier) could kill anyone who doesnt know basic BJJ defense on the street -a claim ive always laughed at and know first hand aint true. Kinda like Rhonda Rousey could F* up Floyd kinda mentality. Anyways, theres no lower rank in BJJ than a non-striped White belt -total newbie. With Fury crawling out on all fours hes easy prey for even a simple choke.

Now it just aint that funny after explaining all that but thats the gist.

Helio was supposed to award me my red belt but unfortunately he died before it was issued. My lineage runs directly through him. You can check BJJ Heroes if you don't believe me. I'm lethal on the mat. Nobody wants to roll with me.

Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk: Briton 'back in the gym' for rematch

Tyson Fury says he is "relishing" the chance to secure redemption against Oleksandr Usyk in their rematch in December.
www.bbc.co.uk www.bbc.co.uk

Or maybe he’s just gone on a bender in between camps? He’s lived like a saint the last few months during camp so one can blame him. Also won’t be able to handle his ale so well after a long period of no booze, no matter how big of a lump he is
