The previous two-division world champion Hatton feels that Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) shouldn’t enable Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) to push him round as he did of their combat earlier this 12 months to defeat him on Could 18th.
What Hatton might have observed was how Usyk was shoving Fury away when he would try to seize him in a clinch and lean on him. Fury couldn’t maintain Usyk as he had in his fights in opposition to Deontay Wilder.
This mauling tactic that Fury discovered from his coach Sugarhill Steward had change into his bread and butter technique to put on down his opponents since he teamed up with him. In opposition to Usyk, Fury couldn’t maintain as a result of he was getting shoved arduous when he tried to clinch.
In hindsight, Fury’s loss to Usyk was a results of these elements:
- Weak chin
- Showboating early on
- Poor conditioning
- Combating off the ropes
- Age
- Years of preventing marginal competitors
- Being overrated
“I believe Fury could make adjustments. If he makes use of his top, which he didn’t use final time. If he makes use of his weight, which he didn’t use final time. If he makes use of his attain, which he didn’t use final time, I believe he shouldn’t have somebody as small as Usyk pushing him across the ring,” mentioned Ricky Hatton to Professional Boxing Followers when requested if Tyson Fury might make changes to win rematch with Oleksandr Usyk on December twenty first. “Additionally, one voice within the nook.”
For the rematch on December twenty first, Fury wants a greater technique than attempting to carry and maul as a result of that tactic has already failed as soon as. It was a pleasant simplistic tactic that labored in opposition to Wilder, however solely as a result of he was by no means a world-class fighter to start with.
Sugarhill and the remainder of Fury’s workforce ought to have provide you with a sport aside from mauling in opposition to Usyk final Could. If that’s all they’ve for Fury within the rematch, he’ll lose once more.
