Lennox Lewis thinks the referee did a bang-up job within the earlier Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk battle along with his choice to not cease the battle within the ninth spherical when ‘The Gypsy King’ was out on his ft after getting nailed by a left hand.
Lewis says Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) was simply “Enjoying round” by bouncing from rope to rope whereas consuming repeated headshots from Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs), and he thinks the referee did the suitable factor by stopping it. I washed the battle a dozen occasions, and at no time did it seem like Fury was “taking part in” like he was harm. He was mortally harm, and, shockingly, Lewis couldn’t see that.
The referee shoved Unified heavyweight champion Usyk out of the best way when he was about to nail Fury with the ending blow within the ninth. The ref gave Fury a standing eight depend, which saved his disguise. It achieved these two purses:
- Consuming up worthwhile seconds
- Stopping Usyk from poleaxing him
Within the Fury-Usyk rematch in 9 days on December twenty first, Usyk has made it recognized that he’s coming for a knockout. He’s bought the Hitman persona that he’s taken up, and he’s coming to complete what he began final time.
Fury “Enjoying” Based on Lewis
“He bought hit on the nostril, and it made him to again on the ropes. He bounced off the ropes one time,” mentioned Lennox Lewis to the media about Tyson Fury getting harm by Oleksandr Usyk within the ninth spherical of their earlier battle on Might 18th.
“He was taking part in when he was bouncing off the ropes as a result of he was utilizing the ropes to maintain him up. He was taking part in bouncing off the ropes as a result of he was utilizing the ropes to maintain him up,” Lewis mentioned about Fury. “I assumed the ref was nice in that battle as a result of some refs would have stopped it. That ref stayed centered, didn’t cease the battle, and allowed them to field.”
What on earth is Lewis speaking about? Fury wasn’t “Enjoying” when he was bouncing off the ropes after getting harm by Usyk within the ninth. He was out on his ft. How can Lewis not know this? Is he deliberately being obtuse?
Lennox’s spin on the referee saving Fury within the ninth spherical is an fascinating one as a result of he appears to be backing Fury’s followers, who imagine the ref did the suitable factor by giving him a standing eight depend slightly than permitting Usyk to complete him with the coup de grace.
It seemed to followers just like the referee gave Fury particular remedy to avoid wasting his disguise when he was about to get knocked into the following century. It might be fascinating to know if Lennox would have felt the identical approach if Usyk have been saved by the referee.
