Promoter Eddie Hearn expects Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk to make use of totally different battle methods for his or her rematch on December twenty first than they did of their earlier battle.
Of the 2 heavyweights, unified champion Usyk has a greater shot at success together with his totally different method to the rematch as a result of he’s already made it clear that he’ll be trying to KO Fury. He gained’t permit the judges to resolve and wind up in the identical boat as Francis Ngannou.
A Fragile Goal
He already confirmed that he might harm him of their first battle, and he is aware of he can overwhelm him with a barrage of punches. After three wars with Deontay Wilder, Fury’s chin is made from glass. If he will get hit exhausting by Usyk, who hits more durable than many individuals notice, he might go.
Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) seems to have placed on extra dimension, probably hoping to recapture his success when he twice defeated Deontay Wilder. After all, he had a way more restricted fighter than what he’ll be coping with towards Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs), who gained’t let him maul.
Eddie Hearn: “It regarded to me like Fury was beginning to get into his groove. The ninth spherical was probably the most dramatic I’ve ever seen,” stated Hearn to DAZN Boxing, speaking concerning the Fury getting harm by Usyk. “Clearly, the shot that landed, the massive left hand, had Fury everywhere. I feel each guys will do various things within the second battle. And if the primary battle was one thing to go by, it’s essential to tune in for quantity two.”
Frank Warren: “He was on the entrance foot, and he was letting his pictures go. He was formidable. He was that a lot away from the battle being stopped. There’s little question about it, and fortunately, the ropes held him up. The primary battle was historical past. The second will likely be even higher.”
What we’d like isn’t any controversies, a referee who doesn’t step in to offer standing eight counts out of the blue, and high quality scoring. The primary battle ought to between the 2 was tainted.
The primary battle was not that fascinating to look at other than the ninth spherical, and that was horrible watching the referee save Fury from being knocked out. The battle was first rate within the early going, nevertheless it by no means actually ignited like many followers had hoped it might. The undercard battle between Jai Opetaia and Mairis Briedis was world’s higher than the Fury-Usyk the headliner.
The December twenty first occasion has already taken a significant hit with the ONLY fascinating battle on the undercard, Israil Madrimov vs. Serhii Bohachuk, which is now not occurring because of Madrimov’s sickness. The substitute opponent, Ishmael Davis, is coming off a loss and isn’t ranked within the prime 15 by any of the 4 sanctioning our bodies.
