Spencer Oliver believes Tyson Fury wants to make use of the motion that he had when he defeated Wladimir Klitschko in 2015 when he faces Oleksandr Usyk of their rematch on December 21.
Poor Mobility
Fury weighed a slender 247 lbs for his struggle with Wladimir on November 28, 2015. He was 27 on the time, nonetheless younger, and it was earlier than he began having weight issues. After the Gyspy King defeated Klitschko by a 12-round unanimous choice in that struggle in Duesseldorf, Germany, his weight ballooned to round 400 lbs.
Since then, Fury has by no means gotten down anyplace near the 247-lb weight he got here in at for his struggle with Klitschko. It’s protected to say that Fury will NEVER return to that weight with out it placing him within the hospital. As soon as an individual will get as heavy as Fury was throughout his 2 1/2 yr victory lap after the Wladimir struggle, you by no means return to what you have been with out trying sickly.
One insurmountable impediment stopping that technique from working for the previous WBC heavyweight champion Fury is his weight. It’s been reported that Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) is bulking as much as the 270s to attempt to make the most of his measurement to bully Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs), as he had efficiently executed in his rematch with Deontay Wilder on February 22, 2020.
Fury bulked as much as 273 lbs for that struggle, utilizing grappling and roughhouse techniques to subdue the lighter 231-lb Wilder. Tyson loved a 42-lb weight benefit in that struggle. That’s not the rationale he received, although. Deontay appeared confused and couldn’t adapt to Fury lunging regularly to seize him in his bear-like maintain to engulf him.
Ring IQ Deficit
Being heavier towards Usyk received’t work practically as nicely as a result of he received’t enable Fury to seize him as Deontay and Wladimir did. Each fighters lacked the ring IQ that Usyk possesses to outsmart Fury, who repeatedly did the identical factor in these fights.
Usyk isn’t silly. He received’t enable Fury to lunge in after throwing a punch, however he received’t transfer away or catch him with a shot whereas he’s coming ahead.
“If Tyson Fury can rediscover the movement he had during the 2015 time against Wladimir Klitschko, rumors are circulating he could come in a lot heavier for this one,” mentioned Spencer Oliver to talkSport Boxing about Fury coming in heavier for the rematch with Usyk on December twenty first.
“Will that be his undoing doing that? Because if he is looking to bully him, I think you are playing into Usyk’s hands.”
Fury’s Obstacles to Victory Towards Usyk
– Weight– Lack of Ring IQ– One-dimensional sport plan: Mauling– Poor mobility– Age– Fragile mandible: Punch resistance gone– Stamina points– No energy
“Use that uppercut he did in the sixth round and draw Usyk in,” mentioned Oliver about what Fury ought to do towards Usyk.
