Via Charles Brun: Otto Wallin believes that Oleksandr Usyk & Joe Joyce can give Tyson Fury problems with the skills they possess.
Wallin points out that Usyk isn’t too small to beat the 6’6″ tall Anthony Joshua, who is much faster and stronger than Fury.
If Usyk’s lack of size doesn’t stand in his way against Joshua, it shouldn’t be an issue against Fury, who isn’t a great outside fighter and lacks strength.
If you remove the excess fat that the 270 lb Fury is carrying, he’s probably not much heavier than Usyk. At best, Fury is around 230 lbs when you remove the fat on your frame.
Unlike many, Wallin thinks the 6’3″ (20-0, 13 KO) Usyk is more than enough size to trouble Fury 6’9″, 270 lb, who has struggled with opponents. heavyweight, sportier than in the past.
The fury has slowed in recent years due to growing age, and his trainer Sugarhill Steward has taught him to use his size to attack his smaller opponents to do them. tired.
Luckily for Fury, he didn’t fight anyone whose inner skills would take advantage of him by nailing him with straight blows to the head to make him quit using the tactic. this.
Slow Derek Chisora is the type of heavyweight Fury has tackled so well, so it’s no surprise he was able to easily beat the 38-year-old last Saturday.
Fury chose Chisora clearly for a reason, and not because he was on friendly terms with the old warhorse.
What Usyk gives him in this fight is his movement, his IQ and the fact that he won’t become a fixed target for Fury to wrap him in a bear hug to lean on him. me all night as he usually does with his immobility, in contrast to the less intelligent.
Wallin (24-1, 14 KOs) made Fury money three years ago in 2019 in a match he could have won if the competition had been on a neutral field.
Fury should have stopped early due to the terrible cut he received in the second round. Some believe that if Fury hadn’t been so popular, the fight would have been stopped, giving Wallin the victory.
“Of course it will be difficult. Usyk is smaller,” said Otto Wallin iFL BILLIONV, when asked about the size disadvantage that 6’3″ Oleksandr Usyk will face with 6’9″ Tyson Fury.
“At the same time, when you look at it, he’s not that small. I also said that Usyk would probably be too small for Fury. What is he, 6’3″, 6’2″, or something?
“When he was in the ring there [with Fury last Saturday night], I don’t think he’s that small, but we will see. They said he would be too small for [Anthony] So does Joshua, but he doesn’t.
“Fury has always been my favorite, but you can never rule it out. He [Usyk] can pull it out. He is a smart boxer and has been boxing for a long time. He has a lot of experience. It will be very interesting. I want to see the fight, of course.
“Fury is a really smart fighter. He’ll try to take them both down, and will probably try to push them back as well,” Wallin said when asked which is the tougher fight for Fury between Usyk and Joe Joyce.
“If he can get Joyce back, it will be a lot easier for him, but Joyce is a really tough guy. He throws a lot of punches and will probably stay on Fury. It’s hard to choose one. I think both of them can give him trouble, although I think Fury will be the favorite in both skirmishes. I think both can trouble him in different ways,” Wallin said.
