I feel honoured you brought out the gif for this.

Yes, exactly the trajectory he needs. Aspinall and Holyfield are excellent examples.

He, either, wants to get rich quick or wants to reign supreme. Sure he can do both, but it's super rare that that can happen.

He will have to lose 49lbs, he is a heavyweight.

If anyone thinks fury won that I'd recommend rewatching it with the sound off. The commentary was ridiculously biased to fury. Usyk would land a jab and a straight left to the body, fury would throw a right which usyk would catch with his glove then land another couple the commentators would be shouting "great right hand by fury"
Sure fury had some success in nearly every round but usyk dominated 75% of majority of the rounds.warren saying fury was on the front foot for the whole fight is just a fantasy, also said fury was illusive, usyk landed over 40% of his punches. I personally scored it 9-3 to usyk, he'd landed more and cleaner punches throughout the fight, was the aggressor and forced the pace that fury just couldn't match.

Usyk's level of fitness and stamina is unlike anything else I've ever seen in any professional athlete.

You obviously never saw Bob Taylor after we signed him from Gillingham!

He was the spitting image of 'Georgeus George' The fat terrible bare knuckle boxer out of the film Snatch! we paid £1.5m for him to partner George Weah! they played a combined 21 games for us!

Correct mate! Usyk was never not in control of that fight. The commentators knew as much, hench why they was praying for Fury to see each round out (he couldn't)! The in play online betting never had Usyk anything but odds on! If the fight was that close there is no way that Fury would clear the ring as quick as he did, and there is no way that the Saudis would allow Daniel Dubois the access and opportunity to call Usyk out!

 

[Ysabel 123]

So who does Usyk fight now?

What's next in the heavyweights?

to be fair, he was more than happy twatting Putin's men on the front line in Ukraine before Fury opened his big mouth!

 

[Ysabel 123]

In Usyk's last 5 fights he has beaten the last 3 British world heavyweight champions (2 of them twice)

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

The Sky commentators were sycophantic, cheerleading lunatics.

Fury was poor - but, much better than the first fight. No way he won that poor scrap.

Would like to see Dubois in there again with Usyk.

 

[Ysabel 123]

That "MMA fighter" is the best heavyweight in "real" fighting in the world.

Lets not forget Francis vacated that title so Jones could win it...

what is the real fighting world!

Usyk has beat (twice) both blokes who destroyed the best MMA heavyweight ever!

 

[Ysabel 123]

Hahaha..who would rightly give a shit about a fake like joshua and fury now fighting.

it stinks of ITV2 that fight!

 

[Ysabel 123]

I know what you mean mate but I honestly think dubois knocks anyone out at heavyweight..

And as we all know at heavyweight you've always got a punchers chance.

Can he knock usyk out.
100%

Can he beat him over 12... I don't know ..

You do know that Usyk beat him inside 9 rounds 16 months ago, dont you?

 

[Ysabel 123]

I think the scorecards were wrong. Not arsed who won, it was closer than that though.

I honestly don't mate! Usyk is that technically good, he is almost Booring, just like Mayweather!

If Hatton would have gone to the distance with Mayweather, we would have all said he was robbed and should have won. But In truth, Hatton and Fury lost their unbeaten records to boxers who are just better than them and who have never been beaten!

Mentally Usyk is up there with the best! Usyk has beaten Tyson Fury twice because he wasn't scared of the Bully. Just like Lewis and Hollified wernt scared of Mike Tyson!

 

[Ysabel 123]

I think Parker outboxes Dubois and gets up even if Dubois puts him on his arse. I see it going exactly the same as the Zhang v Parker fight. Power on its own will not be enough to beat Parker.

It wasn't that long ago that Joe Joyce was a contender!

The problem for Usyk is that they all keep beating each other coz there all shit!

He should fight Chizora next! It's about time he thought a Brit that is as hard as him and enjoys fighting!

 

[Ysabel 123]

Some are forgetting that Dubois was ahead against Usyk when the the controversial low blow give Usyk time to regroup and beat Dubois,I think it was boardline ..

You do know that, DDB also had time to re group don't you? DDB quit against Joe Joyce.

Usyk beat 3 current/ex world champions in his last 5 fights and became undisputed heavyweight champion after 6 fight at that weight!

he has never been put down! he didn't need a low blow to beat DDB mate!

Hardly quit his orbital bone was broken would have been daft to carry on, Joyce is proper shite too which makes it more annoying.

 

[Ysabel 123]

Yes but lets not forget this was all a fix and set up for Fury to win so there would be a 3rd fight.. oh.

Correct mate, like we all got told on Friday that Fury hadn't seen his family for 3 months, and he is now focused, we then got told that big his dad John Fury wasn't in his corner! and hes got a big beard and has kept his composure but not giving interviews in the build up!

Gypsy's cant bully Ukrainians!

 

[Ysabel 123]

Dubois is as thick as shit and any power punching ability will be negated by his lack of basic intelligence it’s not a given he will beat Parker who is underrated

He is like Frank Bruno! He cant ever promote a fight

 

[Ysabel 123]

David Haye snapped his Achilles and carried on with one leg for 9 rounds!

Boxers dont quit, they get stopped or pulled out by their corner! That is why they are a different breed! DDB quit that night!

 

[Goater=Legend]

There's a difference between snapping your achilles and losing your eye sight at 25/26 if he carried on.

 

[Nightmare Walking]

In defence of DD, he was 23 and 25 years of age respectively when he fought Joyce and Usyk. Usyk was still an amateur at that age. DD is light years ahead of where Usyk was at the same stage of their careers.
DD has shown over his most recent fights he is no quitter and it was never a low blow against Usyk. I still think Usyk would have got up if he had been given a count and Usyk would have still boxed Dubois up. But, it will be a totally different fight if they are to get it on again.
