Fury Usyk Dec 21

[diehard]

I felt Fury had success from rounds 4 to 7 when he was letting his hands go. The problem for Fury was Usyk worked out that when Tyson throws more than one punch at a time (something he doesn't like to do often) his chin is left up in the air with his hands down. Usyk started throwing when Fury was punching & because Fury's chin was exposed Usyk was catching & hurting him.

If Fury doesn't let his hands go he gets outworked. If Fury lets his hands go he leaves his chin exposed.

That's Fury's conundrum. Fury just needs to do what he did in the first half of the fight, and when he gains an advantage he needs to lean on him, uppercuts, combos, and go for it. Usyk was in dire trouble leading into the middle rounds, and then he found inspiration from his corner. That happens in virtually every fight I've seen with him, either cruiser or heavy. Chisora? did ok with him until the middle rounds.
