5/18/24 ESPN+/DAZN PPV - "Ring of Fire" Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk (Undisputed Heavyweight Championship)

[Yapdatfool]

I'm tryna figure out why he spent so much time fighting on his back foot and off the ropes when he did his best work in the middle of the ring?

Old unfixed habits

We need a neg GIF of Fury bouncing around the ring

I gave it a shot

I honestly don't think Fury wins an immediate rematch either.

Dude's punch resistance is taxed. If he wants to beat Usyk he's going to have to get by some serious leather again.

You don't get that dazed and take heavy hits for another 3 late rounds by a heavyweight and be clean on a quick turnaround.

You overstating that
Fury been hurt and dropped quite a few times and still never been stopped
He will be fine
Got dropped by USS Cunningham I ain't forget that everyone was saying he had a weak chin and he didn't wind up losing a fight till just today over a decade later

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

Isn't Usyk the first undisputed in two weight classes since Holyfield?

First cruiserweight in the four belt era to become undisputed Heavyweight champion

I gave it a shot

It's not as easy as it looks.

Man has ruled 2 divisions

Just think about how crazy that sounds

And never touched the canvas ONCE

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

refs have stopped fights for much much less. Fury should be happy he got that lee way. He was out on his feet

Yeah but technically he did make the right call because Fury would've been on the mat if the ropes weren't there.

Evander must have been in the 3 belt era

Old unfixed habits

They die hard...

Fury said the corner didn't tell him he was down the last two rounds.

I highly doubt Sugar Hill Steward told him to coast it.

 

[dubsmith_nz]

Great fight, alot of back and forth and some big hits. to Usyk for getting it done. Fury was done if the ref didn't save him on the ropes in the 8th. Thought for sure Usyk would finish it in the 9th.

Furys comment at the end was wild about Usyk only winning because people feel sorry for Ukraine.

Would love to see AJ get a shot at Tyson but I look forward to Usyk finishing the job in the rematch.

 

[TheNig]

Evander must have been in the 3 belt era

I think so... WBO is the youngest sanctioning body. Think it's been around since 87 or 88. Holyfield moved to Heavyweight at 88... I think.

My issue is he's older getting hit like that and he was out on his feet basically but compounded more damage.

The guy is turning 36 soon and recovery should take longer rather than trying to run it back this year, especially not in October.

I had it 5-2 Fury after the 7th. This was a close fight and Usyk started turning the tide by the 8th. I had it a tied fight going into the 11th, and had Fury winning the last 2 rounds. This should have been an easy win for Fury but he fukked up and let Usyk back in the fight.

Lol “should have been an easy win for Fury” my ass. Usyk’s pace is a mofo and I ALWAYS remember @patscorpio saying years ago Fury don’t got KO power so while he caught Usyk a few times, Usyk was gonna always keep coming and leave it all out. It was NEVER gonna be easy for Fury.

The rematch gonna be easier for Usyk cause what Fury gonna do? Come in heavier? In the 12th, Fury tried to clinch and Usyk tossed his ass off of him
