Usyk/Fury

Re: Usyk/Fury

Lifestyle. Fury trains. Between fights but eats shit, let's his weight go up etc. He doesn't live like an athlete. In my opinion Fury is as much a gifted boxer as Usyk is, incredibly skilled and intelligent. Usyk can adapt so quickly, even when Fury hurt him in the first fight, and it happened several times, Usyk took a step back, recovered and then put it on Fury. I want Fury to win, the only way he can is if he beats Usyk up, doesn't gas and concentrates for the full fight. I can't see it though.

Agreed about Fury being just as skilled and intelligent as Usyk. I want Usyk to win but think Fury might edge it, he seems lazer focused this time

By what yardstick is their respective intelligence levels measured? Are all successful boxers intelligent by dint of their respective successes?

Yup, although I just don't think it'll be enough for Fury Delm. Usyk is a machine, he doesn't cheat at anything, he's the ultimate athlete, on top of that he's also incredibly intelligent and talented. Like I said, I want Fury to beat Usyk, trouble is I just can't see how Fury does it, especially over 12 rounds, his legs have gone a bit. If it's close then I think Fury will get the decision, they'll make the Trilogy if they can.

How do you judge a footballers intelligence? The yardstick I use is by watching them and listening to those whose knowledge I respect. I would say that it's the same with boxers.

Was Rooney intelligent? Frank Bruno? Just wondering. I think that what is described as intelligence in the world of sport is not necessarily as to how it is understood otherwise.

Peter Whittingham was intelligent, Rubin Colwill isn't in my opinion. I suppose that there are many factors both biologically, physically and mentally that contribute towards sporting intelligence. You raise a good point, and i would say that it's a fascinating subject.

Re: Usyk/Fury

That'll be interesting. A guess, Fury 265 Usyk 225

Fury 281 Usyk 226.

Really Fury about 274 with the clothing he had on the scales.

Re: Usyk/Fury

Haven’t heard from Fury for a few months before this week. I think he’s worked hard, and a prepared and in form Fury beats Usyk.

Re: Usyk/Fury

I have it on good knowledge that Fury has lost loads of flab and bulked up his muscle mass that resembles a 56 year old mike Tyson.

Re: Usyk/Fury

I read this morning that this fight hasn't got the hype as its in the shadow of the recent Jake Paul V Mike Tyson fight :xmashehe::xmashehe:

True though isn't it.

Far more interest in that fight than this one. Not amongst boxing fans but the general public.

Interesting, what is your yardstick for measuring intelligence?

For boxers the measure is boxing intelligence .

Re: Usyk/Fury

It’s difficult to call for me.
But if pushed, I would bet on Fury stopping Usyk with a body shot.
I don’t see Fury winning on points.

I want Usyk to win again.

Without a doubt . Intelligence is being able to asses a situation and make the best of it, better than the others in your field .
